Pro Tips

Greetings Fellow Scott-Heads and fly-fishers!
I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome you to my Southeast Alaska Scott Pro blog area.  Please take the time to venture through this area as I intend to use it to keep "you" up-to-date on various industry items as well as what's happening here, in Alaska, and in particular, the Southeast region.

Currently, things are winding down. Snow is now working its way down the mountains, but there are still silvers in most of the waters here.  Up the Lynn Canal, in the Haines area, late-run silvers are drifting in with every tide and the forecast there calls for a very good run. So far, weir counts have been good. We've been pounded with rain which curtailed much of the fishing last week, but if we get a break in the systems, and the water drops a bit, the grab should be "on".

In addition, the late chum run should add some additional grabbers as we progress into November.

Fall-run cuttys in the various lakes also adds to our late season angling opportunities as well.

So even though the season is winding down, hard core fly rodders can still find some relief from work related desk work here in SE Alaska!

Cheers,

Rich Culver
