Today we're heading back north to Alaska to find out what the road system has to offer.

Not only are we going to talk about where you can find 20 and 30 inch rainbows, but we're

going to get Mike's take on why Chinook have taken such a downturn and why this is connected

to 30 billion hatchery fish being released up there. We're also going to talk about

swinging for rainbows so you're ready this fall when the game turns on. This is the Webfly

Swing podcast where I show you the best places to travel to for fly fishing, how to find the best

resources and tools to prepare for that big trip and what you can do to give back to the fish

species we all love. Hey, I'm Dave, host of the

wet fly swing podcast. I've been fly fishing since I was a little kid and I grew up around a

little fly shop and have created one of the largest fly fishing podcasts in this country.

I've also interviewed more of the greatest fly anglers and just about anyone out there.

Mike Brown, owner of Mossie's fly shop in Anchorage, Alaska, takes us into the

49th state. We're going to take a drive south and north along the Alaska Highway. We're going to

take a stop along the way in the area where I'll be meeting up with the winner from this year's

Alaska giveaway. Then we're going to jump down on Highway 1, head to the Kenai, find out how to catch Sakai on a fly, and then we're going to finish up with the spakelave and the one fish that flies under the radar. Mike's going to talk about that. Plus, you're going to find out how to join this amazing trip if you're interested in big rainbows. All right, time to get this one rolling. Let's jump in. Mike Brown from mossy's fly shop.com. How you doing, Mike? Good, Dave. How are you? Great. Great.

Yeah. It's really good to have you on the show today and talk one of our favorite places, Alaska.

I've been up there before. It's been a little bit of time, but we're excited because we're going to be getting up there again, probably driving. We'll probably be stopping by your shop, which is going to be cool. And we're doing this event. We're doing a big giveaway with Fishhound Expeditions, who are actually, Adam was the one who first recommended. I check in with you guys. But, I mean, I've heard about you guys for many years I think

are you guys the only shop in Alaska or there are there other ones up there or not Alaska in

Anchorage well I mean we're they only dedicated fly shop because it's all we do I mean there
