Title: Favorite coho fly
Post by: Geff_t on September 12, 2006, 09:41:25 AM: Well now that I have my new fly rod, reel and line already to go I need a little help with choosing the right fly for coho. So I am asking for your HELP. Which is your favorite coho fly and size. Any help will be much appreciated.

dont be afraid to use a small fly (size 10 normal shank) tied VERY sparsely when they're a little spooky. I love goooooooold!

next to that would be a variation on a mickey finn with some little tiny stick on eyes with a touch of epoxy.

I dont really have a favorite but those two will be the ones I use most this year.

Post by: Geff_t on September 16, 2006, 07:25:47 PM: Sorry I got the name wrong. It is called a little green meany. It has got a black head, silver body with green, and a green tail. Use either a size 8 or 10. You can get them at Hatch Matcher's fly and tackle in Maple Ridge. You have got to ask for them as they keep them behind the counter.

Post by: newsman on September 21, 2006, 05:44:47 PM: This coming season my project is to come up with a Steelhead pattern that meets my starndards, using unorthodox materials, so I can thumb my nose at the know-it-alls again; and name my new creation "Who Says".

Post by: younggun on September 28, 2006, 10:38:59 AM: hooked three cohos this past week on flies! Two on the gold muddler ;D The last one was on a coho special, my own fly. Very sparce green and blue polar bear hair, with a whit polar bear hair belly, with some dots on the sides from a permanent marker, works quite well! ;D
