Alaska Salmon Trout & Steelhead: Complete Rod+Reel+Line Fly Fishing Combo Outfits

Alaska Salmon Trout and Steelhead – Complete Fly Fishing Outfits. When June rolls around we have a lot of customers heading north to Alaska. No- it’s not gold in them-thar-hills luring our fellow fly anglers away from the Lower 48, it’s Silvers, Kings, Chum, Sockeye, and Pink salmon they are seeking. Oh yeah, maybe giant leopard spotted rainbow and steelhead, too. Planning for an Alaska destination is a high-stakes game. We were close to being stymied by the possibilities. Our finesse solution is to offer several options, each at different price points, all offering exceptional value, and each fine tuned to meet slightly different personal or piscatorial objectives.

We assembled complete fly fishing outfits From Echo, Sage, and Winston. We assembled complete Alaska fly fishing outfits to target three categories of Alaska game fish: 1) giant trout and steelhead; 2) Silvers, Sockeye, and Pinks; and 3) King and Chum Salmon. The fly reels offered with these complete Alaska fly fishing outfits are Ross Reels, delivering solid engineering quality and dependability – all are fly reels we fish for salmon and steelhead, wherever we may venture.

There. Done it. Covered the bases nicely. Twasn’t easy, though. The complete Alaska fly fishing outfits we selected offer variety in heft and brand name –combinations to achieve the highest combination of performance and value. If one must go to Alaska with one single fly fishing outfit, we suggest an 8 wt. single hand fly rod matched with a multi-tip fly line. That said, we highly recommend making a trip of this sort equipped with two or three complete outfits. Gosh knows, the fish are different, the rivers are diverse, and crazy things happen in the Alaska Bush. So if you go, then go forth as well equipped as you possibly can. Otherwise, make the trip with several buddies who are loaded with spare outfits. ... view more

A multi-tip fly line is THE LINE OF CHOICE for an angler fishing a single-hand rod (for salmon) who wants to minimize the number of lines reels or spools purchased, venture into somewhat uncertain fishing conditions, and be prepared to make surface, shallow, or deep fly-presentations to salmon in Alaska rivers. A multi-tip fly line is equipped with 4 interchangeable tips that include floating, intermediate, slow, and fast sink rates.
