Matt Little on the Koktuli with a big sockeye taken on the fly. The sockeye don't really want to eat, and the fly has to be painstakingly presented - polarized sunglasses are necessary to get the fly in front of the fish, to agitate it enough to make it bite. Snagged fish are not legal to keep. It is a trial, to see the great red fish there in front of you, and pass the fly before them over and over. You end the day exhausted, still seeing them in your mind's eye, all that red, in that clear water, remembering the times that it worked, the green hooked jaws of the fish, the heavy splash from the broad tail, the scream of the reel.

This is a wonderful area to visit here in Alaska especially if you want to get away from the crowds on other waters. Excellent fishing for a wide variety of salmon, trout and char. If after viewing this slide show any of you find the need to come visit Alaska give me a call at 877-235-2647 I operate a float fishing business up this way and can answer any questions you might have about the area even if your thinking about going it on your own or looking for a guide who knows we might even be able to fish together.
