9ft 5wt is the best all around rod out their that is why I have 2. second would be the 9ft 6wt

not the biggest or from taneycomo but my best of this season and here is a nice Dolly Varden spawner

tippit size depending on the day and salmon influence will be 0x-4x you will probably want to go big as possible these rainbows are huge. Also if their is a crap load of reds in the rive you will keep acedentaly snaging them so if you are using 4x you probably brake off, this can happen alot in a day. Standard size tippit for me on clear water is 2x Not my fish but this is a nice rainbow from naknek http://www.alaskaflyfish.net/coppermine/cp...um=1&pos=36 try these for smolt http://www.alaskaflyfish.net/minnowsmolt.htm http://www.alaskaflyfish.net/FlyOfTheWeek.htm

I would bring some eggs. the run chart I just looked at says kings will start making their way into freshwater in may-june, so buy july some will be droping eggs and if they are rainbows will want them. To imitate king eggs you will need 10mm egg patterns. Smolt paterns will work also but I think smolt make their way out to sea around may-june. Nymphs will be a good bet also, as the salmon are digging their reeds the stir up all sorts of nymphs

Thanks everyone for making me feel welcome. I fly fish almost all the time, and am looking forward to spend some time out on the Little Red chasing browns, cuts, rainbows and brookies.

Good question my job is making me move, I dont want to but I have to.

Hi everyone, Im Neil. I currently live in Anchorage Alaska but I am moving to Little Rock in April. so I am researching fishing in Arkansas and MO, I hope I dont ask to many questions.

Ted, what part of Alaska are you coming to? South central(north and south of anchorage) Bristol bay, Southeast, or Kodiak Flies list should go like this Rainbows want eggs so glo bugs or Troutbeads will work. maby acouple nymphs like a prince or so and maby a couple flesh flies. For sockey buy some legal hooks and put some glo bug yarn on them. If you are fishing the kenai pen. a legal hook will be 3/8 of a inch gap so a size 4 Kings will take flies with orange in them but some pink or black work to. Try Fat Fredies, egg sucking leeches and fushia bunnys Bring floro for rainbows if you are fishing clear water streams in like 2x because sockey will get in your way and you will snag them. you dont want to keep loosing your gear it gets annoying. For salmon I use some maxim for leaders. kings you will need 6ft peice of 30lb and for sockey 3ft 30lb tied to 3ft 20 or 15lb
