Ep 18: Alaska as a DIY Fishing Destination, with Jake Roy

Jake Roy is a fly fishing guide with Wilderness Place Lodge in Alaska. Although many people will want to book a guided trip if they head north, Alaska is also very doable as a DIY “exotic” destination for those of us from the lower 48. In this episode, Jake walks me through what to expect when planning a trip, including when to go, what you can catch, how to bring fish home, and how to hire a plane to get off the beaten path. If you’ve ever thought of fishing Alaska but don’t want to break the bank, this is the episode for you!
