An original pattern we developed, this is the latest twist on what is probably the most famous fly pattern used in Alaska. The cone head provides weight and a most enticing action to the fly. Our #1 seller!! The color beads actually emit a phosphorescent glow when charged by a flashlight, sunlight, or camera strobe. This feature increases the effectiveness of the fly during periods of reduced visibility and high glacial silt, and the extra energy emitted is detected by trout and salmon even in full daylight. Great pattern for kings, silvers, rainbow and steelhead. Fantastic results reported using the Black/Glo Orange (aka the Halloween Fly) for late season silver (coho) salmon and giant rainbow on the Kenai, Lake Creek, Naknek, Talkeetna, Susitna, Chulitna, Nushagak, Alagnak, Goodnews, Copper, Kvichak, and Togiak rivers, and for kings under low water conditions. Tied on 2x-strong Daiichi 2220 streamer hook. Size: 2 only. Colors: Purple/Glo Pink, Black/Glo Orange, Black/Glo Green, Chartreuse/Glo Green, Fuchsia/Glo Pink, White/Glo Pink.

Very popular Alaskan smolt pattern widely used in the Wood River, Tikchik Lakes, and Iliamna (Bristol Bay) areas during the June smolt out-migration. Effective for rainbow, salmon, char, and large grayling. Weighted. Series 5263 nymph hook. Sizes: 4, 6.

AKA the Bunny Pop Fly. This original fly pattern was designed by our master fly-tyer and is now copied everywhere. It has become one of the most popular salmon and steelhead flies in Alaska in just three short seasons. The Bunny Popsicle Fly has the proven colors of the very popular marabou Popsicle, but is more durable. One of the top fly color patterns for King Salmon, Silver Salmon, and Steelhead. The combination of orange, pink, and purple drives fish crazy. Strikes are not subtle, so you'll know when it's "fish on"! Just get the net ready. Heavily weighted cone head with 30 wraps of .025 lead-free wire under the body on a 2X strong Mustad Signature R74-9672 needle point hook. Size 2.

They don't look like much, but boy, do they catch fish! We tie our salmon flesh flies on 2x strong nymph hooks and weight them heavily. These are great flesh imitators to be used any time after the spawn. Salmon Flesh represents fresh flesh, Ginger represents flesh that has been in the water for awhile and doubles as a sculpin imitator, and white represents salmon flesh that has been bleached out by the sun and water. You'll need all three depending on where you are in the river. Highly recommended pattern. Sizes: 4. Colors: Ginger, White, Salmon Flesh.

The perfect searching pattern, especially on fast moving streams. Front weighted like a jig and thus highly effective. Can be fished as a streamer cross current or allowed to roll on the bottom like a nymph. Highly visible pattern even under roiled water conditions. Great early season pattern for probing unfamiliar waters or excellent late season flesh/egg pattern. Good for rainbow, steelhead, char, silver, king, and sockeye salmon. 2x strong Daiichi streamer hook. Sizes: 4, 2.

One of the hottest fly patterns in Alaska today for Rainbow, Steelhead, King, Chum, and Silver/Coho salmon. Extra heavy Alaska cone head, strong, sharp hook. The swirling, articulated action of the Dolly Llama elicits powerful strikes from salmon and trout. We use size 2 and size 1/0 Daiichi 2557 Intruder and Gamakatsu 02411 Octopus hooks because that's what you'll need for Alaska's big rainbow and salmon. The size 2 hooks have a 3/8-inch gape so they are legal on all fly-fishing-only waters. Articulation comes from the "string". We use 50 lb. SpiderWire for its strength and abrasion resistance. No one matches our quality and they won't tell you what hook they use either. Olive/White and Black/White imitate the Arctic lamprey eel, a giant rainbow favorite snack that invades coastal Alaskan rivers such as the Naknek, Alagnak, Kvichak, Nushagak, and Kenai. Generally, salmon love the bright colors and flash, but often, later in the day, only dark patterns like the black/white will elicit strikes. This is especially true of silver (coho) salmon. Use chartreuse near the salt, on the Kenai, and in gin clear rivers. Pink and Fuchsia are favorites of King, Chum, and Silvers. As for kings, the old saying is: "dark fly for a dark day, bright fly for a bright day". We suggest black/blue, black/purple, or purple/black for the dark fly and chartreuse/blue and pink/orange for the light fly. Silvers on the Kenai have been going for chartreuse/white and Tutti Frutti. Here's an idea: slip a size 6mm or 8mm bead egg on the leader and turn any Dolly Llama into an "Egg Sucker" instantly! Our size 2/0 Magnum Dolly Llama can be found on the King's Corner page. Size: 2, 1/0. Colors: Black/Blue, Fuchsia/White, Little Rainbow Trout, Pink/Orange, Purple/Black, Black/White, Chartreuse/Fl. Blue, Chartreuse/White, Olive/White, Pink/Chartreuse (aka Tutti Frutti), Pink/Purple, Pink/White, Salmon Flesh, Black/Purple (not shown).

This white pattern rarely fails to interest rainbow after they have refused standard sculpin imitations. Tied weighted, zonker-style, on a Daiichi 2340 hook. White rabbit strip over a pearl cactus chenille body, orange rubber legs, and a shell pink chenille egg. This fly was featured in Fish Alaska Magazine. Size: 4.

Perhaps the most famous of all American streamers, this classic pattern is an excellent standby in Alaska for rainbow, steelhead, char, cutthroat, and salmon. The Mickey Finn is especially valuable in off-color waters because of its high visibility. We tie ours with alternating bands of yellow and red Super HairTM . The resulting transparency is superior to bucktail versions. Unweighted. Series 5263 nymph hook. Sizes: 4, 6, 8.

Designed by Hank Pennington, this fly rides upside-down to reduce snagging. Bead chain eyes, gold flash, and olive bucktail make for a sparse tie. Fished dead drift with twitches to enhance the illusion of life, it is favored by large Dollies and trout across Bristol Bay, Kodiak Island, and the Alaska Peninsula. Series 5263 nymph hook. Size: 10.
