The narrator made an interesting comment at the end, about wanting to be on the edge of learning new techniques. And he tied it in perfectly with ageing and the application of mastery. It's that philosophy that will keep him and like-minded people young at heart
That would be Tony Weaver, and he is the most passionate fly fishing angler I have ever come across in all my years.
For someone in outdoor production - the quality of this video.. how it’s shot and edited is absolutely top notch. Well done to everyone involved.
Thank you Brandon! We all know there is no "I" in team especially with filming outdoor adventure shows. Thanks for watching.
The quality of the video is amazing and it makes me want to learn how to flyfish.
Jack of all trades master of none doesn’t apply to Tony….he’s just pretty much the best at everything he does…..he’s never done anything halfway…..full throttle since I met him!!! Signed, Monster 😁
Agree 💯 and one of the nicest guys one will ever meet. Super talented.
Boy did this vid remind me of the old days. I’ve fished the Nak hundreds of times back in the days when Diver was roaming the falls and the Brooks platform was a sheet of plywood on the ground. Ive fished the Nak, Alagnak, kvichak, kulik and all the rivers south to Mother Goose. Alaska is a brutal unforgiving mistress but I finally got her clingy cold hands off of me when I found rivers in Wyoming that were just as good. Now I can finish my life in a glory current in sight of home. They’ll either find me dead in my house at a tying bench or floating down the river, the latter is preferable. Excellent film guys👍🏻
SOUNDS like you found yourself a slice of heaven. Congrats and tight lines 🎣🎣🎣
Coming to Alaska Friday can’t wait I’ll be visiting for sure
How did your trip go in Alaska? Thank you for watching the shows.
I’d love to get a handful of my Marine Buds and do this. Of course I’d want all these pros to be out guides……..what a great vid!
Thanks for watching. Get ahold of Mike at Mossy Fly Shop in Anchorage Alaska. Pretty sure he can get you going in the right direction. mossysflyshop.com

Thanks for watching!
Most excellent. Glad I stumbled on this. Nice to see you in full HD Mike and Tony.
Us too! Thanks for watching.
I was just at Mossy's today picking up flies for silvers lol 👍
Good luck!
I grew up in Alaska and moved away for work reasons last year. I wish I would have started fly fishing sooner. I’d love to come back up to fish the Naknek and the kenai.
It's a remarkable experience for sure. Just getting there is part of the experience 😅 Hope you make it up that way one day. Thanks for watching 👊
This is awesome video showing how salmon and stealhead, trout fly fishing is wonderful. I enjoyed DH fly fishing for many years but not in Alaska yet.
Hope I can make it this year in spite of COViD19.
I’m searching every information about Alaska Salmon fly fishing zone which is good for down stream swing fishing with DH fly rod.
Thank you for the kind words @Fishzzang1 😀 This was an epic rainbow fly fishing trip . Kvichak River river is also well known for salmon runs. Contact either master casting instructor Tony Weaver or our good friend Mike Brown at Mossy's Fly Shop in Anchorage mossysflyshop.com for more info regarding fly fishing Alaska. Tony Weaver also has written a great book on fishing Alaska Calle Top Water: Fly Fishing Alaska, the Last Frontier: amzn.to/3wYT8Xb
Great video! I will have to come in to the shop and check you guys out been here for four years and never even set foot in your shop yet but you guys seem awesome! I'll be by for a visit soon.
Right on! Head on down and talk with Mike Brown at Mossy's Fly Shop! Tell him Alaska Outdoors TV said hi. 👊
This looks like pure bliss to me!
And I have friends that live in Naknek.
Thanks for tuning in! Indeed this trip is epic on the scale of awesome. Been there a few times and it never disappoints.
I fish with a local family there during red salmon season.
I have always wanted to book a fly fishing trip with them because they guide during off season.
What size spey rods and reels did you both use for these beautiful fish?
@@randykinley1766 I saw Mike at his fly shop this summer and I should’ve asked him then I’ll have to give Tony Weaver a call and see if he can tell me what they were using I don’t remember. Thank you for watching. 😃
Fantastic!
Thank you. That area is an amazing fishing oasis.
Forgot the Talkeetna there’s a good population of 30” in there. I caught a 30 and 31 in one day up there a few springs ago
That's amazing! Sounds like you had a great trip.
It was we caught some big grayling too which was a bonus. It was kinda one of those days you look back on and go Holy Smokes how did that happen
My old stomping grounds. I used to live right down the road on Arctic and 71st. Where were you all those years I lived there? I had to drive down to Mt View Sports for my fly fishing needs. Hope you the best. Not enough great shops like yours. Hope to get back up there with my wife to show her around so maybe I will drop in. Take care.
Thanks for watching Tom! and be sure to stop by the shop and see the guys. They'll talk your ear off about fly fishing. Thanks for watching.
Love it though I am dreaming of wading rivers and whipping my fly line into sweeps
We're thinking it'll be a great fishing season this year. Good luck out there. Thank you for watching.
Looking forward to to new videos. Hopefully it will be another Pink year so those Kenai Bows get giant.
@@hookedonalaska7004 did you make it out on the Alaska rivers this summer? I had a great red sockeye season but silvers were slow on the Kenai River.
Hi I really love this video. Is there any videos of Tony explaining his technical knowledge in detail? I'd love to learn from him
Thank you for watching! Check out Tony Weavers book "Top Water: Fly Fishing Alaska, the Last Frontier" It is full of info and can be found on Amazon. Tony also teaches fly casting in Anchorage should you be in the location. amzn.to/39wmdAJ
@@AlaskaOutdoorsTV thank you for the response
@@nabzbassmaster2580Tony Weaver is an amazing fly angler and great instructor. Hopefully you got a copy of his book. I’ll have to give him a call and see where he’s holding some instructional seminars out. 😃
I live in Soldotna and was wondering where your fly shop is and what it’s called. Hopefully I can drop by to get some materials and learn a thing or two.

Why the "thumbs down" from some people???
Awesome video!
Thanks Rick! Guess some people are just unhappy people. Tony Weaver is one of the most knowledgeable fly fishing guys out there. His passion is to teach others the sport of fly fishing. Thank your for watching.
The thumbs down are ones down south jealous of our Alaska. Nothing new!😉😂
@@troyottosen8722Love ALASKA. We’re so lucky and blessed to have all the recreational opportunities that we have minutes to hours out of our back door. Thank you for watching.
That's a great video guys. Beautiful.. So Steelheads are sea going Rainbows?
Yes they are. However these were wild rainbows.
What is the name of that crazy two part two handed cast you guys keep doing throughout the video?
Spey fishing with a spey rod.
Great video! I’ll swing by the shop today and grab some dolly’s if you got em!
Did you make it in to Mossy Fly Shop? Say hi to Mike from us at Alaska Outdoors TV.
@@AlaskaOutdoorsTV yes sure did! I’ll be going back again next weekend and will tell them you said hi!
@@DailyDopeamineThank you. I stopped in the summer and saw Mike and spoke with the guys and then I went red sockeye fishing. Hope you had a good fishing season.
@@AlaskaOutdoorsTV sweet! We spayed the rainbows all summer it was a pretty good year!
@@AlaskaOutdoorsTV slayed*
all star cast. Owners of Mossy's, Kvichak and Nancy. couldn't ask for better people. Is Bear Trail open to guests in October??
Tks for the comment. Based on their website looks like they're open through Oct. www.beartraillodge.com
Very Very Nice Video 📸 Can You Please, tell me, where I may buy or make, the clear, water chamer/tunnel, you used for Testing the action of a Fly??!! I've asked 2 other Fly Tyers, and they've ignored it!! I thank you in advance 😊!!
Contact Mossy's Fly Shop in Anchorage Alaska. They should be able to offer up some information. Casting guide Tony Weaver uses a custom built water tank he had designed and built.
Those some nice cold chrome steels
Anthony, Would you believe those are AK native rainbows? Only place in the state we got steelhead are a few rivers on the kenai peninsula, two rivers on Kodiak island and small native runs in Southeast Alaska on islands that mainly are roadless except prince of Wales island in southeast AK.
These were rainbows but Alaska has several nice opportunities to catch wild steelhead. The guy shown in this video Tony Weaver is a renowned steelhead angler.
@@troyottosen8722 i’ve actually seen Steel Head north of the GlenAllen Tok cut off. Top secret tho. 😮
I've seen troutier fish called Steelheads by landlubbers
You a sailor?
@@AlaskaOutdoorsTV no just not Alaskan
What size spey rods are you using?
I don’t recall Mike but I can find out for you if you would like. I’ll have to ask Tony Weaver what they were using.
@@AlaskaOutdoorsTV thanks. I'm curious about their setup.
@@mikecoughlin5419Call Mike at Mossy’s Fly Shop in Anchorage. He is the shop owner that featured in this episode with Tony. mossysflyshop.com/
@@AlaskaOutdoorsTV thanks. I've been to Mossy's while in Anchorage.
Largest in the state??? Howabout world!
They are some monster, amazing fish in those rivers. Thank you for watching Troy.
What wt rods are they using?
Hi Joseph, a combination of various weight fly rods and spey rods. We'll have to double check to see which weights and brands we used on that trip. Thank you for watching.
I wasnt there but i would guess 6-7 wt rods in general based on the size of the fish and the size of the river. It's a fairly big river but quite small fish up to 8 maybe 9 lbs so 6-7 should be plenty good enough. Someone will correct me for sure if i am way off....
@@MrKveite1 Mike and Tony caught some crazy big monster rainbows at trip. I’ll have to double check with Tony Weaver to see exactly what the size of fly rods, reels in line used. Thanks for watching. 😃
Us Alaskans are spoiled! Simple!👍
The Alaskan lifestyle is pretty amazing.
AlaskaOutdoorsTV , I got a funny one for you! I happened across a vid from a guy fishing in Alaska for the first time his experience was “snagging” in Seward! I used to live there, I commented to him he should do some real Alaskan fishing and he goes onto telling me he fished all over the USA, and I have no idea? Tell me that’s it hilarious?😂As I have said for many years up here, “it’s an Alaskan thing! Some don’t get it”!😂👍
@@troyottosen8722 See, even snagging Alaska fish beats anything down states 😅👊
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏👏👏🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
Thank you Pepefly 👊
@@AlaskaOutdoorsTV 😉😉😉😉
@@Pepeflyflies hope you had a great summer season of fishing. Thanks again for watching.☺️
