Video Summary
In this video, a fishing enthusiast embarks on a dream trip to Alaska, famed for its abundant salmon and trout. It showcases the pristine beauty of one of North America’s most untouched fishing destinations.

The journey begins in Anchorage, where the group meets Alex, a former employee of All Alaska Outdoors. They traverse the stunning Cook Inlet, marveling at Alaska’s "happy little trees" and unspoiled wilderness.

Their base is All Alaska Outdoors, a premier fishing lodge on Longmere Lake, operated by Dr. Bob Leta—a physician, guide, and pilot. Dr. Bob shares his journey from Texas to Alaska and his dream of building a fishing lodge.

The group targets seven fish species, aiming for the "June Slam." They fish in diverse locations, some accessible by boat, others by floatplane, catching rainbow trout, Dolly Varden, lake trout, and more.

Highlights include fishing in remote areas, witnessing salmon migrations, and the thrill of landing fish in Alaska’s untouched waters. The solitude and challenge of these remote spots add to the adventure.

The video captures Alaska’s breathtaking scenery, from aerial floatplane views to serene fishing landscapes. The wilderness’s majesty is a recurring theme.

Evenings are spent enjoying the lodge’s sauna and swapping stories with fellow anglers, fostering camaraderie in this tranquil setting.


Key Improvements:

  1. Conciseness: Removed redundant phrases (e.g., "the fulfillment of his dream" → "his dream").
  2. Grammar/Clarity: Fixed awkward phrasing (e.g., "attempt to catch 7 species of fish on the fly rod" → "catch seven fish species on fly rods").
  3. Flow: Combined related ideas (e.g., merged sentences about floatplane access and diverse fishing).
  4. Consistency: Standardized terms (e.g., "float plane" → "floatplane").

Dylan’s Journey

Dylan, our owner and co-founder, discovered her passion for fishing in 2010—a way to honor the memory of her late husband, Tony.

Beyond She’s Fly, Dylan works as an Agile Solutions Architect while balancing her love for nature, music, travel, and time with her pets and loved ones in Fort Collins, CO.

Emily, co-founder of She’s Fly, embodies the spirit of the Colorado mountains. A lifelong advocate for preserving National Parks and Public Lands, she has always defied expectations through her adventurous pursuits.

Her passion for fly fishing reflects her love for the outdoors and her commitment to challenging industry norms that overlook women’s needs. Alongside Dylan, she empowers others to pursue their passions without limits.

Outside work, Emily enjoys spontaneous adventures, time with her dogs, and immersing herself in nature’s beauty.
