Equipment Needed for Fly Fishing Alaska Rainbow Trout
We usually fish rainbow trout in fast-water riffles and runs behind spawning kings, pinks and chum salmon although many of our biggest fish hang in the deeper runs all summer long. Dead-drift and/or nymphing presentations thoroughly covering these areas work best. Strike indicators are often
helpful, but not a necessity. Targeting larger rainbows is often done with big, size 4 - 1/0 black articulated leeches, Ginger woolhead sculpins, or black hareball leeches. These flies are swung through deepwater slots with sinking tip fly lines.
| Rods: |
We use 5-7 weight fly rod/reel outfits for trout |

Fly Patterns Used in Fly Fishing Alaska Rainbow Trout
| Fly line/Leader: |
Typically use a floating double taper or weight forward 5-7 weight fly lines.
A 5-6 ft. straight 4-6 lb. mono or tapered leader is desired. Split shot may
be added to leader to attain the desired drift. A lightweight sink tip may be used for fishing articulated leeches or sculpin patterns into deepwater holes during mid-summer. |
| Alaska Rainbow Trout Flies: |
Early Season- Silver/blue streamers size 6-8, sculpin patterns,
Assorted dry flies- Orange Stimulator, Adams, mosquito patterns, caddis.

"Cotton Candy" flesh flies, White Bunny hare flesh flies, Assorted Beads,
