June starts the Dolly Varden season on many of the streams we regularly guide including the Kenai River. We typically start the season fishing standard streamer patterns such as muddlers, sculpins, leech patterns, and flesh flies. As the Salmon increase in numbers the Dolly's tend to move into the Salmon spawning grounds. Here they fatten up on salmon flesh and eggs.
Targeting Dolly's involves locating these spawning areas and matching what the Dolly's are feeding on; fresh eggs, old eggs, flesh... any of which will work from day to day; we call it Match-the-Hatch - Alaska Style. Dolly Fishing continues through the month of October and typically cold weather chases us off the river before they stop feeding. |
