Wife and I are renting a camper van for 9 days in August and driving around Central Alaska. So getting prepared for some fly fishing. Now a little background. I have only fiddled with fly fishing. I know how to cast but have only fished for bass. I don't know all terminology so try to speak English to me.
Last weekend I got a new setup to replace my 20yr old 5wt walmart special with a 9' 8wt Orvis Clearwater rod along with 8wt Clearwater II reel, WF8 line. I have a 1 acre pond with plenty of bass and bream along with a 8' diy pontoon boat i fish out of. I have a trip next month to Cherokee to get some practice in a river since all my experience is in ponds and lakes.
So looking for some recommendations on how to rig up both poles for Cherokee area and what kind of flies I should use. I know will be different for Alaska but hoping to get some more knowledge.
