Alaska Flyfishing Online's Real-Life Fly Patterns For Alaska Salmon, Trout, Char and Pike Fly Fishing

The NATURALS are the group of flies which epitomize the art of fly tying best. Since the invention of fly tying, the objective has always been to create realistic representations of food sources which sportfish normally feed on.

This group of patterns imitate the "meat and potatoes" for the majority of species of fish in Alaska and they range from sculpins and salmon fry to eels, shrimp, baitfish, and leeches. All these prey species are high in protein and most sportfish large enough to take one will not let the opportunity pass.

The Alaskan flyfisher should always maintain a good arsenal of the patterns from this group whether they will be fishing stillwaters or streams.
