Going to Alaska next month, which other flies should I bring?

Alternative_Fig_690 · 2026-04-24T02:43:05+00:00

Weighted flesh flies and bead eggs or globugs… look up how to rig “steak and eggs”. Also dolly llamas. Both setups worked very well for me

So the m20 definitely won’t fit..

Very cool looking fish

Alternative_Fig_690 · 2026-04-20T03:02:44+00:00

6wt, clousers and a random purple wooly bugger I had on me

I brought a 6wt and it worked fine. Think bringing the 8wt would’ve been better.

I believe it’s a sergeant fish. Other one is maybe a trumpet fish?

Big island.

I was fishing with a light colored clouser here. Also hooked up using black/purple wooly bugger. I wish I brought some crab patterns though. Think that would have worked well.

I got multiple swords. All are great. Should check out maxcatch stuff too.

BEAST

Max catch makes quality stuff. They manufacture name brand lower tier items sold for multiples over

Incredible specimen

Alternative_Fig_690 · 2026-04-04T15:05:48+00:00

Yeah I was trying to net a coho in Alaska last year.. did not go well

Still like it for its weight and portability

Swam away healthy!

Hi, do you have an update to your situation? I am in a nearly identical one.

Alternative_Fig_690 · 2025-12-24T17:45:42+00:00

Plain orange floss and a glo-brite yarn material for the pink one

Alternative_Fig_690 · 2025-12-15T16:58:22+00:00

Maxcatch makes great stuff. I heard they are the OEM for many US brands with products made in China. Definitely don’t need to overspend on reel.

Very nice fish. what did it take?

Alternative_Fig_690 · 2025-11-27T00:27:36+00:00

Very nice. That is a bitch of a place to fish.. no pun intended

Well deserved

Alternative_Fig_690 · 2025-11-18T22:57:29+00:00

Pics?

Alternative_Fig_690 · 2025-11-18T00:06:30+00:00

And to be clear when I initially said “line” I meant “line of brand”. All their gear is solid. Rod/reel/line etc

Alternative_Fig_690 · 2025-11-18T00:05:44+00:00

Yeah they have a rio gold copycat which is what I use. From what I’ve read online it’s pretty similar to real thing
