Agreed, its expensive but once you get into it there is no going back.ricecakes wrote:I could show you some fly fishing shots in the Arctic circle of Alaska that would make your eyes pop.
Unfortunately fly is like the heli skiing of fishing. Dang expensive.

I grew up and still spend quite a bit of time less than an hour away from the three best dry-fly rivers in Canadian Rockies. They are all trout fly-fishing only, catch and release with people from all around the world coming here to fish.
Id love to do the Yukon and Alaska.
I'd would like to find a place to flyfish in Cambodia but its a hassle to bring my gear over and I am a total pussy about snakes and bitey, venomy things that lurk in the bushes in Cambodia.
Yeah suddenly realised after my post you are canuck so can probably fly fish in you backyard u lucky bastard.
I spent 6 weeks in Alaska ff with my father . Remote, light plane access only. I threw so many loops I had RSI . PB was a 38 inch Arctic Char. After that I realised that every man should go to alaska at least once in his life. I really wanted to go back there and work but it was just post 911 and they tightened everything right up.
great photos....thanks ! Crystal clear sight fishing. yum yum.

Damn, hog of a char there. That would be a fun beast on a nice lighter weight rod! We have lots of Bull Trout (Very similar to that Char) lurking deeper as well. Slippery bastards though. Pulled a ten-pounder out this summer but he slipped out of my hands before I got a snapshot. They get over 20lbs but ive never had that luck.ricecakes wrote:Yeah suddenly realised after my post you are canuck so can probably fly fish in you backyard u lucky bastard.

Sounds like an incredible trip up to Alaska. I want to do the trip from Southern BC, fishing all the way up to the Yukon/Alaska camping along the way when we are back next summer.
How is sourcing decent fishing gear over in VN?
That was not even my PB ! I think from memory we were using 7wt rods on those fish. I know I slipped on a bank down near Homer and broke my dad's $1200 Simms. OOPS Fuck he was not happy . We fished the salmon run for a couple of days on the Kenai outside Anchorage too. That was just insane shoulder to shoulder combat fishing. Also some drift boat catching monster rainbows on eggs.
I have AMAZON's all my kit to Hanoi. Spinning rods/reels , baitcaster and reel, lures, braid etc. There are tackle shops here but all cater to bait and grapple hooks / float fishing.
Took my 6 year old boy fishing last saturday behind tay ho in the lily ponds and we caught his first fish - a snakehead. Funnily enough...there was an old viet guy fishing off his balcony near is with a viet bamboo rod and....a hollow frog lure just like mine. He was pulling them in one after the other and we were whooping at each other. It was a good day.
