2019 Trout Opener on the Alagnak River

8/27/2019

 
​The Alaska trout opener has become an amazing way to kick-start the Alaskan fishing season on the Alagnak.  Just imagine hungry, eager, trout that have not seen an angler of fly in over 8 months!  These trout are more than willing to strike both top water and sub surface patterns on June 8th - and four fortunate guests of Anglers Alibi were ready and willing to present a fly as the clock struck midnight.  We had set up a small camp for just the night and enjoyed a nice dinner at an extremely remote area of the Bristol Bay Watershed.   With a nice campfire and some spirits, the guests were more than amped up for a trout opener that they would never forget.   
​
Trout, lake trout and Arctic Grayling were slurping dry flies as we all waited on baited breath, constantly checking our watches to see just how many minutes were left on the day until it was legal time to make that first cast.  Bets were placed on who would have the first trout on the fly and, sure enough, the first trout was stripping line off a reel that all could hear in seconds from the opening yell of “go time”.  Yes, one of the guests had hooked up on a trout on their first midnight cast! ​
