originolsin Posted April 21, 2005 #1 Share Posted April 21, 2005 I have looked everywhere, including 10 pages back on this board, and can't find a single thing about this excursion. Can anyone help?!? :confused: I would hate to spend $395 to find out if it is any good or not. Princess won't let me know the name of the company they go through either.

AK*Angel Posted April 21, 2005 #2 Share Posted April 21, 2005 This is who does the excursion. I haven't heard much about them, but they wouldn't still be in business if they didn't have a fairly decent reputation around here..... http://www.flyfishsoutheast.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie11 Posted April 21, 2005 #3 Share Posted April 21, 2005 My ex-roomie was an avid fly fisherman (it took ages to get the feathers out of the plush carpet after a marathon fly-tying session) and he swears that SE fly fishing is some of the best. A lot depends on when you are going and what species you're interested in. Early May - mid June is good for dollies, steelhead, and cutthroat. There are fewer of these in the streams and you will have to work harder for them. In late summer the streams are choked with salmon. This sounds like a great trip - fly-in fishing gets you out in the wilderness away from the madding crowds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
originolsin Posted April 21, 2005 Author #4 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Well thank you for your help. We will be departing July 10th. I am hoping that it is a bit of a challenge rather than getting a salmon every cast. Thanks again, Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Orca Posted April 22, 2005 #5 Share Posted April 22, 2005 It was a great trip. went the end of August, and enjoyed it very much. Yes, expensive. but you pay for any flying tour. Fishing in Ketchikan is different, but also good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie11 Posted April 22, 2005 #6 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Actually, I said that the streams were full of salmon - I didn't say anything about catching one with every cast. :) It's more challenging than you think. Salmon stop eating after they get into fresh water, so to get one to bite, you basically have to wiggle your fly so close to its nose that it bites at it aggressively.
