First-time anglers at Alaska West could very well look at our guide boats on arrival day and think to themselves “I thought this place was supposed to be a top-tier operation.”  Our boats are not the most comfortable, fastest, most tricked-out, or pretttiest boats at the boat show.

These days, pretty much any modern skiff you see on the flats is going to have a poling platform on its stern.  Why is that?

Autotethers

We’ve installed Autotethers on all of our boats at Andros South.
This is a great new wireless system that replaces a lanyard connection to the kill switch on our motors.  If for any reason the guide exits the boat while running, the motor is automatically killed without the need for clipping into a lanyard before each [...]

Going into the 2008 season, we purchased a new boat for the guided fishing that we do at BC West on the Lower Dean River.
She’s a beauty– a 22′ Alumafix Flyfisher.  Built by Mike Forsyth in New Hazelton, BC,  she’s got an incredible hole shot, tons of room, a clean design and [...]
