Post by: HOOK on September 18, 2012, 04:56:34 PM: i find that natural and olive are my better producers however i have had days where chartruese is best, or purple, blue, pink, black and even orange

best to make sure you have a couple of every colour on hand just incase ;)

I have an entire fly box just for muddlers, it contains around 20 naturals, 20 olive, ;) and then a dozen or half dozen of other colours depending on which ones have produced better over the years.

another tip - tie natural ones with a silver body/silver beadhead and olive ones with gold body/beadhead. the other colours are tied with their own various combinations as well but a silver body/bead is a good starting point

Could you post a picture of the flies? The Yellow and red is indeed a Mickey Finn and can be deadly for the Cutties when the coho are tight lipped. The silver and blue is probably a Coho Blue, although it is usually blue and green rather than grey. The pink one could just be a pink Carrey or Krill fly. Try also a Christmas tree, fall favorite, and professor.

X2 Bunny leeches work awesome for Coho/chums as well. I've had best luck with Blue/silver/black combo for Coho & Pink/purple combo for Chums. I will give Red & orange a try.
