Foreword
There is no doubt whatsoever that fishing in Alaska is one of the great experiences a flyfisher can have. The country and the fish are exceptional, so exceptional that all flyfishers should try to sample them at least once, if not repeatedly.
When I was growing up in Alaska during the 1950s and 60s, much was still unknown about flyfishing for all of the different species there. Rainbow trout and grayling posed no problems, especially in waters where salmon were absent. It was usually a fairly simple, straightforward approach to cast a dry Royal Coachman or Black Gnat and set the hook as the rainbow or grayling rose to intercept the fly. Many of us believed that to catch salmon, however, one had to employ the use of salmon eggs or spinners. Those beliefs were brought about by the fact that we failed to understand the fish we were trying to catch and the ways in which we could use our fly gear.
