What to Use

Q:FLIES FOR KAMCHATKA SALMON, STEELHEAD, GRAYLING My wife and I live and teach overseas, and for the next two years we'll be living near Hong Kong. If my wife approves, I'd love to work in a trip to Kamchatka. I recently bought a 2-handed 8-9wt., which I would want to take with me. The problem is that I've never fished for salmon, steelhead, or arctic grayling before. I tie my own flies now, and I'd love to tie some up, but I really don't know where to start. If you fish a lot for these species (even with spinning gear), what would you recommend for each? How would you cover the water column, top to bottom?

Q:ATTENTION: Spey Rod folks I've been fly fishing off an on for a long time, but I just bought my first two-handed rod (used and cheap on eBay--I'm on a tight budget), a 8/9 LL Bean. I really don't need a 2-handed rod, but I've always loved the spey casting techniques, and I'm hoping to find more usage for it whenever/wherever possible. I live nowhere near salmon or steelhead waters, so all uses that I have planned for the rod are unusual, so I'd like whatever advice can be given to help with line selection and tactics. I like to fish from a float tube, both for bass and trout, and I'm hoping the extra length will make casting easier. I expect a standard floating 9-wt. shooting head with multiple sink tips to work fine for bass, but is it possible to rig up a leader system with a line this big for topwater trout? I have a lot of old floating trout lines, and I was thinking of making some looped sections to step down the line between head and leader: has anybody done this, and what should I plan around? I know it's obviously not designed for presenting midges in a stillwater situation, but if I'm fishing streamers from a float tube and fish start rising, what could I do to be at least a bit more stealthy? FWIW, I teach overseas, and I'm hoping to talk my wife into a trip to Kamchatka, so maybe I can use this rod for what it's designed to do ... or at least that's what I dreamed about when I put in the bid.

Q:Going fly fishing on the Manistee river in michigan in the middle of may. I know there are some trout and suckers so was wondering what kind of flies should I tie. Also are there any other fish that live in the river that are good eating?
