[HOOK]

Thanks! I'll let her pick the colours for her jigs (with some guidance). I feel confident in predicting most of them will have some pink in them.

If the jigs aren't working because sometimes its the extremely sparse stuff that works best then just go to a plain size 4 hook with a little tuft of wool in the same colours.
I predict with this years early freshet the water clarity will be better than usual for August. Last time it happened we were using tiny very very sparse flies and having a riot

I would also suggest to use Dick Nite spoons under float. Last pink run I had fish on almost every cast using them.
My favorite - frog size 2, my friend's half/half size 2.

I remember one September the Fraser was so mucky you`d think the fish couldn`t see a thing. Flies didn`t work so I tied a pink and pearl wee Dick Nite on and hung it downstream in a shallow riffle the pinks were moving through and took 4 fish in less than an hour.

surfing some local websites I found this good blog posting from Sea-Run Tackle that includes some good info on locations and timing:

Swing a Dick Nite on the end of your fly line and get ready for a big bend in your 5 wt !  I've caught Cohos using it @ Judd road.

Is it time yet??!

Yep.

For Pinks all you need is a sparsely tied pink fly and you will get lots of hits, if the bites goes off just try a different color--green or orange

seems to work well for me
