Makes me proud to hear so many people luv this great state. I enjoyed your video and really enjoyed the ending where you showed clips of the state I live in , put some tears in my eyes. I luv Alaska
@@dougisnow Nope, I"m just out of ANC which is easiest for work. I use to fly in from "the outside" until I literally sold my 3x2 house in a month, filled my truck and just drove here, downsized to a condo and bought without even seeing it or being here. Call it crazy I know, but life is an adventure. The Reds are rolling in the Kenai now and Aug + will be good for the silvers........I'll save ya some. Have fun. Fish ON
Well done sir! Make it happen, get yourself back to the beaut. The Sleeping lady awaits! I haven't been back in 16 years myself, do not let this happen to you! Go
for a week? several thousand at minimum. First is your airfare. Camping in tents and dry state campgrounds will be $20/night but they can fill up quickly. Food and other things will be more expensive than where you live. A non-resident fishing licence for a week is around $100 for the week which doesn't include King salmon for which you need to buy an additional stamp for the license. If you stay longer than a week, you should get the annual non-resident which is $145 plus another $100 for the king stamp if you need it. And you'll need to rent a car or RV to get around to your fishing spots
Good video!! Well done!! However I was disappointed to see a large number of fish killed!!! Why dont ye practice catch and release?? Ye took a lot of fish home?
I think the limit per day was 4, derek and I fished for 5 or 6 days and caught and released EVERYTHING (appx 15-20 each per day). on our last day we kept a couple to take home...
thx! not sure what you mean by setup, but if you mean rods & reels, mostly single hand 7 and 8wts, floating lines, pink streamers/clousers and wogs (surface). video setup was just gopros on chest and head mounts
Good video. In that one section where everyone brought fish back, wouldn't it make more sense to clean them out down on the water instead of putting all the extra weight and taking up space on the plane? The fillets would probably fit into 2 average coolers or 1 large boat cooler
thx for asking. the prior group cleaned their fish on the river bank and that's why the bears were there, brave and hungry for more fish parts. not the best idea to leave food on a beach with bear around!
Any logistic advice for a trip like this? Id love to fish this part of Alaska but finding all of those small plane flights and lodging in that part of Alaska would be difficult.?
very easy because there are SOOOO many. AK also has the most licensed pilots per capita in the US. It can get very very expensive to go with lodges and fly-in's. There are a few lodges that are $2000+ per day! The least expensive way would be to research the fishing spots with campsites on fishing grounds (there are so many), then get yourself to ANC, rent a car to get yourself to those spots. Bring/buy a tent, of course. rain can last weeks at a time so be sure to bring a waterproof tent. tent campsites are generally $15/night across the state.
For the silvers like you see being caught, just get yourself there some time in later july-Aug and there are numerous locations like the ones you see. ...just get there, rent a car, and bounce around. When asked for fishing info, the people in AK are probably not like you're used to. They will tell you which locations are good at that time. There are also state websites with that info. I'm back watching all these in mid winter because i miss the summer activity so much.
Alaska,No place even compares! Simple!

Great video. T-43 days. Went to Alaska 3 years ago and will be back every year till money runs out or I’m in the ground.
I too use to fly in...............until I dropped everything and just moved here at the last minute. Best choice of my life.

What kind of setup do you guys run ?? Awesome video.

Looks super fun, good job on the vid. MF Doom, I like it!
Im new to fly fishing I was wandering what flies were you guys fishing with
various weighted and unweighted streamers and even some surface flies. and coho like any color as long as it's pink :)
Do you think you should leave a few for animals and other people?
caught and released all (maybe 100 total), we only kept 4 or 5 total
Do you say the same thing to commercial fisherman who catch thousands of pounds of fish before they even hit those rivers and streams?

Jeff, that’s most of Alaska! Different world up here! Simple!
Ive been there earlier in year for halibut what part of september was this?
mid sept, peak of coho run.. and lots of pinks on even years.. i think halibut is good in sept too
Curious as to whether you guys were mostly swinging flies, stripping, drifting, etc., or a generalized mix of technique?
Hi , if is not to much to ask , can you give me a location and info how to get there ?What is the location name ? Thank you in advance !
For the silvers like you see being caught, just get yourself there some time in later july-Aug and there are numerous locations like the ones you see. ...just get there, rent a car, and bounce around.

You guys pay ur way all the way to Yakutat jjst to release ur catch??? Somethings wrong with ya haha
yep and yep!
was this on a guided trip?
no. self supported. diy style. rent a rig and a room and walk and stalk
I just don't get the "music" in most of these videos. It adds... what?
