Snowy!
LOWER RED RIVER
Flowing about 30 cfs below the town of Questa. The recent snows have made the trail and river banks pretty risky so use extreme caution. The Lower Red has been fishing well overall with good water temps and conditions for early December. Look for some BWOs in late morning and afternoon. In the pockets and edges look to use Elk Hair Caddis or small Stimis with Pheasant Tail nymphs or Copper Johns as droppers. In the deeper runs considering running double nymphs using a larger Copper John, Twenty Incher or stonefly nymph followed by a BWO emerger.

ALASKA WEST
August 3-10, 2012
Alaska West is a fly fishing tent cabin operation on the banks of the Kanektok River in the Togiak National Wildlife Refuge along the coast of the Bering Sea. The August time frame targets Silver Mania, a state of mind resulting from the heart pounding, aerial action encountered with Silver Salmon. Other targeted species included the hard fighting Leopard Rainbows, Dolly Varden/Arctic Char and Grayling. This can be a great trip to learn the basics of spey casting.
The camp features heated outfitter tent cabins with twin beds, dinning facilities serving fresh Alaskan dinners. A lounge tent featuring fly tying station, games, satellite TV and a limited internet access computer. Shower houses have hot and cold running water. All the needed comforts for a classic Alaska fly fishing adventure. Alaska West has introduced a special father/son or mother/daughter program, contact me for details.
