I’ve always wanted to learn how to fly fish, and I finally had the opportunity to learn earlier in 2016 when I traveled to Belize. But I knew this fly-fishing trip in Alaska would be quite different – different flies – different fish – even the terrain were new considerations for me,” said Bachman. “We were in some very remote places and hardly saw another human – which was great!

The fly-fishing for char was a challenge for Bachman and guests as they were fishing the streams, which are affected by the tides due to their close proximity to the ocean.  “The water could rise a foot or more in just ten minutes based upon the tides,” commented Bachman.  Luckily, Bachman was also testing new waders and fly-fishing clothing by Field & Stream Shops, so they were always prepared for any condition.

Later in the show, Bachman relives two of her favorite bear hunting trips in Alaska – one on the peninsula with a guide – and one self-guided hunt with just a tent, her Mathews bow and a predator call.  The self-guided bear hunt turns out to be just one heartbeat away from imminent danger for Bachman – tune in to see!!
