Perhaps it should have been, “Alaska on my mind”.  This pattern, which essentially is an articulated egg sucking leech, is best fished on the swing or slowly stripped through slots, holes and tailouts. I like to tie mine with a circle hook as trout generally set themselves when swinging big articulated streamers.
