A number of years ago I was hit upside the head repeatedly about a fly reds actually chased and hit. A lifetime of False Gods had convinced me no such deity exists.
Long version would include a blind alley or three, but the short version is a small, swung "Mini Krystal Shrimp" will eliminate the need for the "Kenai Twitch!"
https://mossysflyshop.com/ is where most should start. I love my reds and have not been reduced to snagging one for a very long time. Unfortunately, Mike's site has not gotten to the point of finding individual flies without their direct help. And Brad's shop will also take care of you. If you are headed to SE, Brad is the guy. If you are coming through Anchorage, you should take the time to visit with Mike and Brian.

The Chartreuse Mini Krystal Shrimp has been the #1 Kodiak sockeye fly for a number of years. It fishes well all over the state. Lock-jawed silvers also will eat it.
