Life of the Party
I'm starting to tie for a DIY trip on the Goodnews River in Alaska in late August. I've done some reading and have some recommendations from a buddy that's fished up there some, but I'd love to hear some suggested patterns for this trip. We'll be fishing for grayling, trout, char, and coho as we travel down the system. I'm most interested in streamer type patterns for trout, char, and coho but favorite mouse patterns, nymphs, eggs, or other topwater patterns are also welcome! I'm also a bit stumped on how many of each pattern to tie. We don't want to run out if a favorite halfway through the float.
So far I've started with some pink and purple starlite leeches for coho and some flesh flies.
What are your top must have flies for AK river fishing?
