Jerry has spent many seasons guiding in Alaska. It is during this time that he honed his trout fishing skills. The Alaskan trout are big, hungry meat eaters and are not shy about eating big flies. Jerry has designed his trout flies to lure the largest trout in the river. The WMD Sculpin is rigged with a size 4 AquaTalon hook. Great for Alaskan Rainbows. Designed to mimic color and movement of a smaller chunk of salmon flesh and eggs drifting through the water It is a pocket size flesh fly that won’t spook trout when the water is low and clear.

Nymphing for steelhead and sea run browns is a very effective technique. In the rivers of the Pacific Northwest and the Midwest, nymphing is quickly becoming the go-to method for many anglers fishing for steelhead. The hooks used for our nymphs are stout enough to hold the heaviest steelhead or the sea run browns of Tierra del Fuego. Size: 6

Small Moal Leech with trailing eggs. Great Flesh Flies for Alaska. This flesh version of the moal leech is great early and late season. Try him on the swing, dead drift. The added attraction of the bead makes a big difference. A great fly for any Alaska - fishing for rainbows, chinook, coho or sockeye. This fly is also a great coastal winter steelhead fly, particularly in small streams.
Good Alaska Rainbows, Sea Run Cutthroat Trout, and Dolly Varden, Bull Trout, Pink Salmon and summer Steelhead Leech Pattern as well. Size: 2- 2.5 inches, number 2 SSW Owner hook.  Caught by Dave Robinson

Greg's Kriller Constructed on the banks of the Kanektok River the killer krill, or Kriller, was designed for maximum castabilty as well as its flaring motion when swinging across hydraulic “fences” in the water column. With the weight of the dumbbell eyes at the back of the shank, the Kriller swings deep with more of a downward-diagonal profile than most traditional patterns. A devouring size for both chrome Chinook and Steelhead, having the eyes closer to the hook attracts some of the most aggressive eats you can find near tidewater!

Same as the Woolly Bugger but with an enticingly colored tungsten beadhead for added weight and attraction. Swing it, strip it - WORKS. The hot head bead can act as an egg-sucking leech imitation if there are fish spawning somewhere in the watershed. In low water conditions of summer and early fall fish can be somewhat skittish. That’s where this fly excels, as it can be fished in any water flow and clarity! Size: 12

The Carey Special needs no introduction. Fish it as a general attractor streamer near weeds or use it as a Caddis Pupa pattern up in BC when fishing the traveling sedge hatch. This pattern is traditionally a lake anglers staple, representing many things from damsel and dragonfly nymphs, to leeches, minnows and large mayfly nymphs. In recent times it has become one of the most effective large soft hackle patterns for swinging in rivers, where trout absolutely slam it. Size: 6

RIO’s Pip Squeak Mouse is designed to look and perform like a real swimming mouse. The flesh colored legs kick under tension and simulate the frantic mouse moving through the water. The flesh colored ears give the angler a better visual as the fly tracks through the run. The bunny collar provides the right amount of “wet mouse” look without adding additional water weight. It also replicates the white chin that are on most mice. The ample foam keeps this mouse up on top churning out a realistic wake. The wire stinger material means you can also fish this for your favorite toothy fish, like Pike, and since this is tied with a #4 stinger hook, you’ll hook more of those short striking fish. Whether you’re chasing trophy Rainbows in Kamchatka or Alaska...or running night ops for big browns in your favorite local stream, RIO’s Pip Squeak Mouse will improve your chances of making the connection. 3” long.

Grabflies custom version of Stu Foxall's latest creation is a tube fly utilizing the Pro Sportfisher Ultra Sonic Cones. These cones are made of brass and are slotted. The Ultra Sonic Cone adds some weight to the fly, but is still very easy to lift out of the water due to the venting holes, while maintaining the capability to create a vortex behind the disc, allowing soft materials to swim freely instead of collapsing in hard current. Fly is tied and glued in every step of it's construction - tied to last. Comes with hook (select size below), and junction tubing. Length: 2.25 inches

With many years of intense searching for these anadromous business partners, I have found tying my skaters on a 60° hook has had the most success. The fly skates, pops and gurgles, making it hard for fish to resist. The Hanger is easy to cast and will pop well due to the tail end of the fly being weighed down by the hook. This keeps the legs down and the foam up for that iconic pop. Greatest of all are most of the fish hooked on the 60° jig hook are landed. Black and blue for those early morning dawn patrols and over cast days, orange for bright fish, and white for that 12 O’clock lunch fish when everyone’s taking a nap.
