conjures up images of mighty rivers flowing down from
snow-capped mountains across desolate tundra, of leaping
salmon and big rainbow trout, and of abundant wildlife
from the mighty brown bear to the majestic eagles
circling overhead. Few places capture this better than
the Alagnak River, located in the heart of southwest
Alaska's Bristol Bay watershed. This region is home to
both the world's largest runs of wild salmon and
Alaska's finest trophy rainbow trout fishery. |

 Lee's Ferry Anglers, Arizona -
Some People Describe the Colorado River at Lees Ferry as "the world's largest spring creek." In reality, it's a massive, clear running tailwater
fishery running 15.5miles from the outflow of Lake Powell at Glen Canyon Dam to the upper end of the Grand Canyon. Indeed, at times it gives the impression of being not one
or two, but a series of parallel spring creek-like waterways... a short run that sweeps past a large rock; a 500 yard stretch that follows the old river channel; or along
glide where rainbows lurk to take midges. To the uninitiated, fly fishing the Colorado River at Lees Ferry is like casting a needle in a haystack. To your professional guide,
the river is a roadmap. With Rainbow Trout at the end of the line. |
