BRISTOL BAY, AK—Flyfishers from the Lower 48 have dominated the AK guide ranks for years. But a move to bring more native Alaskans into the mix is gaining traction in the Bristol Bay area. The second Bristol Bay Fly Fishing Academy was recently held in Ekwok, Alaska. “Until now, few of these guides have been locals.

Guides travel up from the south to work the fishing season, and then retreat to fish other waters in warmer climates. Tim Troll and Luki Akelkok are trying to change that.”
