Episode 159 of the Destination Angler Fly Fishing Podcast – Dec 4, 2025

Our destination is Alaska's Brooks Range with fisheries ecologist Kevin Fraley. We explore this wild and remote landscape, Arctic species like Dolly Varden and sheefish, and the conservation fight over the Ambler Road project. Kevin shares adventures of bear charges, moose encounters, extended solo packrafting trips, and scenery so pristine it even smells that way.
