Alaska Fly Fishing - Photography

Outtakes? Is that what these images should be called? If you’re only going on a fly fishing trip to tally up trophies to post on Instagram then you’re in it for the wrong reasons. And I want nothing to do with you. Is it fun to catch big fish? Damn right it is. Especially after those long stretches of getting your ass kicked and coming up with nothing. There has to be more than the catch though. If you were guaranteed to have fish in the net every day, what fun would that be? It wouldn’t. That’s why all the other things are so important. The people you’re with. The laughs. The scenery. The journey. The adventure. The culture. Working for it. Etc etc etc etc. That’s what these images are about. The in-between times.

Alaska Fly Fishing

It’s a shame that I’m not better with words to accurately describe the experience of fly fishing in Alaska. Never done it down in South America, so I can’t compare, but nevertheless Alaska is on a whole different level than most places you’ll ever experience. A lot of the reason for that is the remote locations you go to fish that are only accessible by float plane. The plane rides alone are worth the price of admission, but they also let you know just how isolated you are from the rest of the world. I love Alaska. More to come from this trip soon…
