I am new so let me introduce myself. I grew up and still live in the Sacramento area and learned fly fishing in the little streams of the Sierra's near Ice House Reservoir and continue to primarly fish those waters. As such I haven't really learned to fish in bigger waters since I enjoy that area so much.
However my wife and I are headed to Alaska for 6 weeks at the end of the month and I am looking for some advice. Fishing is not the main focus of this trip but we would really like to get out and fish a couple times a week. I was in the store the other day and I picked up "Flyfisher's Guide to Alaska" and it has tons of info, almost too much to digest. So here are my questions:
1) How essential are waders? I don't have a pair and have very infrequent need of them and at 6'9" with size 16 feet I haven't found a non-custom set that fit yet? Will this really limit the fishing I can do?
2) Any places along the way that stand out that I should try?
3) Is there much fishing in smaller streams or are they all too small to support fish through the winter?
I am open to all suggestions of places/techniques whatever...
Thanks for the help.
