Fly Fishing Journeys

As you guys know, I never hold back how fortunate I feel to connect with, travel with and certainly fish with some really cool people.  Although we haven’t fished together yet, Piece Oja is certainly no exception and is definitely among the top of this list. 

I mean, this guy is a fly fishing guide with a Bio Chem degree.  In addition to being a guide himself, he runs a highly successful outfitting business in the heart of some of the best trout waters in Montana.  We dive deep into it and I know you guys are going to love Pierce as well as this episode.

Maybe like you, Alaska was high on my list of dream destinations I still needed to do.  After 25 years of fly fishing, I wondered why I still hadn’t made the time to make this trip happen.  I have been so excited about recent trips to Iceland, various destinations in Canada, including my own lodge in Quebec, Canada, out west, and the tropics, I guess Alaska remained stuck on the ever increasing bucket list.  Well, that changed when my buddy Tim Cammisa and I connected with Ryan Kocherhans and the crew from Alaska Remote Adventures at the Denver Fly Fishing Show last year. I also remembered having previously met Ryan at the Pleasanton Fly Fishing Show a few years back and we talked about doing a trip then.  This time we were determined to make it happen and with Tim equally excited, we got a trip on the books.

On this podcast, Tim and I share some of our experiences of visiting Alaska for the first time.  We dive into the five species of Salmon that run by the Alaskan Remote Adventures lodge on the Mulchatna River, a tributary in the Nushagak River.  We discuss the seasons and when best to visit Alaska, especially in this area, for the specific species of fish you would want to target. Finally, we dive into the tackle and flies to set you up for a successful trip to Alaska. 

Stay tuned as we go together on this journey to Alaska…
