13 Bristol Bay Residents Train as Fly Fishing Guides

Thirteen young area residents considering careers as sport fish guiding will embark on an eight-day adventure on Sunday as participants in the third annual Bristol Bay Fly Fishing and Guide Academy at an upscale fishing lodge near King Salmon. 

Participants, aged 15-24, are coming to learn how to fly fish and master the art of guiding from long-time Bristol bay resident and lodge owner Nanci Morris Lyon and Ekwok elder Luki Akelkok, a veteran sport fishing and hunting guide and owner of two lodges, who is an expert on the cultural history of the region.
