Steelhead Fly fishing on the Prince
of Wales Island, Alaska
 Gourmet
Flyfishing offers a highly personalized guide service catering to just two to
three anglers per week. The combined talents of our staff will make your trip
special. David Renton has spent more nearly 20 years exploring the POW with a fly
rod. David's intimate knowledge of the POW waters combined with his ability to
provide tailored instruction meeting the needs of fisherman of all abilities,
enables him to provide a guiding experience that is unsurpassed.
Spring
run steelhead are hot. Heavy tippets can be snapped on the take. The opportunity
for a true "chromer" arrives on every tide. These fish can be loaded
with sea lice and will appear gun metal blue. The average fish is 8- to 10-pounds
with the opportunity for a 15 pound-plus fish available on every drift.
Our methods vary with water
type. Some waters are perfect for traditional swing techniques. Broad runs, bordered
by towering Sitka Spruce trees, set the stage for violent tight line grabs. Many
of the better holding lies are in the boulders. Pocket-water nymphing for steelhead
is a real thrill. Although nymphing is not a traditional approach to steelhead,
it is very effective and will produce on most rivers and streams.
For the trout fishermen,
the POW offers unique trouting experiences. Spring brings large pods of Dolly
Varden and cutthroat trout into local waters to feed on salmon smolt. Some streams
support quality populations of beautifully colored rainbow trout. Although most
of the trouting techniques are subsurface, there is always potential for a dry
fly experience.
