My Favorite Flies for Alaska Dolly Varden and Arctic Char

I am blessed to live near dozens of world class fly fishing streams filled with Dolly Varden and a few Arctic Char. I have pursued these fish with a fly rod for 30 years and I've fished with a lot of different flies. These are by far my top producers. These flies will also work well with rainbow trout. Enjoy!

Amazing video! What weigh rod do you recommend for Alaska? Much thanks in advance.

For Dolly Varden I use a 4, 5 or 6 wt rod with floating line and a 4x tippet. For salmon I use a 7 or 8 wt rod
