				Good luck, Bud.  Those are some beauties.  Pink is the color.  Dolly Lama flies in pink were a killer on the Kenai last fall.  Silvers and Rainbows were all over them.

I made a 7wt bamboo rod for this trip. It's not a spey rod, but I'll still be swinging them.

I have 9'6" 7 Wt. Hardy Smuggler that would be perfect for this kind of trip (someday 

).
Tight lines!!

				Mike,
Each one is absolutely stunning!  I am in love with these beauties!  Are you sure you want to fish these?  I think you should frame these and stop along the way and buy a few local favorites to fish!  Your work is amazing!  I hope you continue to tie after your return from "Dream Land"!  Please take lots of pictures at every moment that you can!  Thanks for sharing your amazing talents at the vice! 
Impressed in the Den,
Dougsden
