Dell,
Looks like you had another great trip to Alaska. I'm gonna go look
for some pinks to toss my popper at this thursday. I am tying a bunch
of poppers now for a Labor Day trip to the Queen Charlottes - Les
Johnson, Trey Combs, Kathy Ruddick (of Ruddick's in Vancouver), Sean
Bennett (of Weigh West in Tofino), myself and three or four others
will be at the Pergrine Lodge in the Queen Charlotte Islands. We are
a part of a television contest called the "2005 Pacific Rim Saltwater
Flyfishing Championships." We will also be filming interviews,
strategies as well as the fishing. I am going to see if the Miyawaki
Beach Popper can come through under pressure!
Leland.
I and my buddy, Clay, just got back from a trip to Kodiak, AK fishing the
beaches for Pink Salmon. There were lots of fresh bright fish that came
readily to a variety of flies. The most exciting was fishing Leland's Beach
Popper, a pattern developed by Leland Miyawaki for Coho and Searun Cutthroat
in the Puget Sound. Thank you Leland for making it possible to have
the fun of catching salmon at the surface.

We caught 20 to 30 Pinks each day.
