Alaskan Doggies on the Fly!

by JD on July 27, 2009

Chum Salmon
Our pal Kevin Lund who, along with his dad Larry, operates Togiak River Lodge in Southwest Alaska, is one of the best egg fishermen we’ve ever met. But, even ol’ “Pink Fingers” himself has been finding it hard lately to resist the temptations of catching Togiak chum salmon on the fly. As he says:

“Never though I would become an avid fly angler, but it’s a hoot to hook 50 chums in a few hours on the fly!!!!!!”

Yea, no kidding. Looks fun from here and kinda puts a new spin on the term “Dog Days.” Anyway, here are some more pics Kev sent in…

Another nice Togiak chummie...and another reason I think I may need to design some sort of rod holder for these guys! :)

Nice! The last time I saw dogs like that was back in '96 on a sorting table offloading our catch. I never knew they could be sooo chrome. Awesome! I bet they are a blast on the fly!
