AK Guide

Did you work for Mike Gorton on the Goodnews? Is your secret back trolling with articulated black leeches? It all depends on the lodge, how many airplanes do they operate. Are they only going to fish the Nak or they going to fly out to the Egekik for silvers, the Nush for kings in June, fly outs is where it gets expensive, driving up the Nak is not that expensive for the lodge. So $8000 a week I am sure is the going rate for 2009, that doesn't include tips, air fare or gear you are going to buy for your trip. Its not a poor mans vacation.

Personally you can have the kvichak and the Nak, I would much rather sight fish for big 28 inch bows on the little ku, moraine, funnel, swing big leeches on the big ku or lower American. Float the kulik for 22 inch bows on every cast. So much to do, so little time.

When I lived on the kvichak I worked for ron hayes, alaska rainbow lodge, when I lived on the Nak I worked for Rapids Camp which absolutely has the best location bar none. Closest to the rapids. I also worked for another lodge in King Salmon but I spent all my time on the Alagnak or Egegik. I have fished pretty much every river in the tik chik, Iliamna drainage. would say the avg guide maybe guides 2 summers so my 10 would make me an old timer!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did and didn't want to spend that kind of dough

Hey guys, need someone (prefer KC or St louis) that is good and can wrap a 50 year old fiberglass rod. It was one of the first glass rods ever made (so I was told) has a bamboo finish to it. Needs guides wrapped again, one repaired and new cork handle. Could do a sweet tradeout deal if you are into the fishing or you can quote me a price. Thanks!

Hi guys, sorry to make this my first post but I have guided in Bristol Bay AK for 10 summers. I have lived on the Kvichak and the Naknak and if you think you can show up on any given day and have a 100% chance of catching a 10 lb bow I have a lot of swamp land I would love to sell you in the mohave desert. These rivers are huge and can kick a good guides butt any day. Better know how to run a boat and be good with the oars.
