{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: AK DIY Thoughts?

You aren't too far from the Kenai.  The rainbow/dolly fishing will be good and depending when exactly you go, there should be silvers showing up.  There will still be plenty of people out but it won't be as bad as it is when the sockeye are really running.  Plenty of places to walk and wade if you want to DIY.  You could also get a guide and float the middle section below skilak lake. It isn't as wade friendly so there won't be as many people but there are huge rainbows in that section.  If you do DIY stick to the upper section between the lakes.  You also may want to check out some of the upper tribs (quartz and others).  They can be hit or miss but can be alot of fun.

The kenai is where I would go if you are staying in seward but if you have some extra time it is worth driving to home and checking out some of the rivers that way (anchor, deep creek, ninikchick ect).

Gang, 

I have to go to Seward, AK for work next month. I know - terrible luck. 

In any case, the majority of my trip will be tied up with charter boat fishing, which should be fun but isn't exactly my bag. I'm working to build a couple of free days onto one end of the trip to fool around for rainbows or anything else anyone recommends. Can/will bring a good sized-rod quiver with me, experienced in West Coast steelhead and salmon on the fly but never been to AK. 

Any suggestions would be greatly, greatly appreciated! 

Thanks, 

OC
