Description
The AK Gurgler, designed by alaskaflyfishinggoods.com, is one of the most exciting and fun flies to fish for trout, particularly in Alaska's waters. This fly is designed to be fished both with a dead drift or a strip retrieve, and it excels when fished over beds of spawning salmon. Rainbows, Dollies, and even grayling can be enticed by this fly, as its movement and sound attract fish from great distances.
Pro Tip
Dead Drift for Subtle Presentation: The AK Gurgler works exceptionally well when fished with a dead drift, allowing it to sit naturally in the current. Let the fly drift along with the current, especially in areas where salmon are spawning. This passive presentation mimics eggs or small prey, making it irresistible to feeding trout.
