Im going to Alaska next week. Just looking for any tips that people have.
l plan on fishing the Kenai, Russian rivers and some other tributaries of the Kenai

Big stste, which river?

For the russian river u need special tackle. You need to get a lot of coho flies or russian river flies. They r special hooks with a 3/8'' gap & they come in many colors. The fish dont care what color it is but u need to be able to see it so get white or yellow flies. Also get some size 2 split shot weights. Depending on the current use 2 or 3 weights about 24'' above the fly. Instead of casting & retrieving u just cast about 10' of line out & then put the reel in gear. Now just basically fly cast at about 2 or 3 o clock upstream & let it drift down to about 10 o clock downstream. You will see the fish in the river & when u see them take the flie then set the hook. If this is too confusing just watch the other people bc they know what to do. On the Kenai u will need heavier gear bc of the Kings. l used a 2''Spin n glo on a 2' leader with a 6/0 hook. Tie the leader to a three way swivel & tie the main line on. On the other swivel eye tie on about 10'' of line with a 3 or 4 oz weight. Bait up with eggs & toss it out & let it sit. Hope this helps
