Over the years, many people have asked me what my favorite fish to catch on a fly rod is.  Although this question is never an easy answer, I always break it into the two main categories: freshwater and saltwater. Redfish (at least for now) tend to be my favorite saltwater fish to catch on the fly. BUT, what about for freshwater?

After catching huge silver salmon in Alaska, this fish is by far one of my most favorite to catch on the fly.  Whether this is because they will chase huge neon pink leeches at full speed, or will be acrobatic during the fight, these fish never get tired during the fight.

Going to Aleknagik Island Lodge in Alaska now four times, I wanted to dedicate a post to some of my favorite silver salmon moments to this post.
