A fly fisher's paradise, the diversity of its waters makes it challenging to know how to best fish each area. Tapping into local knowledge is key. This book reveals the most effective methods practiced by some of Alaska's greatest guides, including Nanci Morris Lyon, Chad Valentine, Dan Busch and Luke Woodruff. Gain insights into their various approaches and learn how to choose the type of fishing and trip that most appeal to you. Whether you're casting dry flies to grayling, swinging big leeches for steelhead, or stripping heavy baitfish in open salt for salmon, you are guaranteed to enjoy the fly-fishing trip of a lifetime.

Will Rice has lived in Alaska for over thirty years and regularly fishes the rivers in this book. A recovering attorney, he now spends his retirement poking around beautiful places armed with fly rod and camera. His writings have been published in a number of fly-fishing and travel magazines.
