When it comes to Fly Fishing, here is what you need to know. For the dedicated fly angler, May offers a brief but spectacular window to swing flies on the Kenai River before the salmon crowds take over.
The Two-Handed Approach (Fly Fishing)
Mastering Fly Fishing
The low water of May exposes massive gravel bars, making wading incredibly safe and providing plenty of room for D-loops. We use 6-weight or 7-weight trout spey rods paired with Skagit heads and heavy sink tips.
The Grab
There is nothing quite like the feeling of a tight-line grab from a 25-inch wild Rainbow Trout. We swing large, articulated sculpin and leech patterns through the deep, slow walking-speed seams where trout hold to conserve energy.
