Just made some reservations for a trip to AK in July. First stop will be four nights in Nome. Primarily for birding but plan to chase graying and char in the rivers we cross. Fly flinging; taking my 1 and 3 or 5. Probably the 5 because the next stop is the Kenai for sockeye. The folks we are staying with in Soldatna sent us a shipping box full of very tasty sockeye fillets. So, we will be chasing, with fly gear, sockeye for about a week. I will also chase rainbows and char that are scarfing eggs and carcasses. Thoughts on locations, flies, and other areas near Nome or Soldatna for grayling, char, trout, and as an added treat, fly-caught pike.
