We're headed up to the same area in a few weeks. How bad were the bugs?

Hint: for the giant Alaskan Leopard Rainbows on the dry-fly, fish where
the riffles meet the smooth water, Cast directly into the riffles upstream
and let the fly drift to the smooth part of the water. Don't touch or move
the rod, just let it drift. The rainbows may toy with your fly, but you'll
see the swirl when they take it down. Don't spook the fish by making violent
strike sets, just gently lift the rod and at the same time a gentle pull of
your line hand to set the hook.

The giant rainbows are also deep. We had lots of luck on the #4 Black
Zuddlers, I can send you two if you want them.
You can use up to 12 lb test on those. Gently use rod action for movement of
the Zuddler... you can't miss!

The grayling will take the light Parachute Adams in #18 & #16.
More pictures on the way.

ps. take a eye mask and ear plugs, doesn't get dark till midnight.
