Fly Fishing Journeys


Our first trip to Alaska with Ryan Kocherhans and Alaskan Remote Adventures

January 15, 2024

Maybe like you, Alaska was high on my list of dream destinations I still needed to do.  After 25 years of fly fishing, I wondered why I still hadn’t made the time to make this trip happen.  I have been so excited about recent trips to Iceland, various destinations in Canada, including my own lodge in Quebec, Canada, out west, and the tropics, I guess Alaska remained stuck on the ever increasing bucket list.  Well, that changed when my buddy Tim Cammisa and I connected with Ryan Kocherhans and the crew from Alaska Remote Adventures at the Denver Fly Fishing Show last year. I also remembered having previously met Ryan at the Pleasanton Fly Fishing Show a few years back and we talked about doing a trip then.  This time we were determined to make it happen and with Tim equally excited, we got a trip on the books.


On this podcast, Tim and I share some of our experiences of visiting Alaska for the first time.  We dive into the five species of Salmon that run by the Alaska Remote Adventures lodge on the Mulchatna River, a tributary in the Nushagak River.  We discuss the seasons and when best to visit Alaska, especially in this area, for the specific species of fish you would want to target. Finally, we dive into the tackle and flies to set you up for a successful trip to Alaska. 


Stay tuned as we go together on this journey to Alaska…
