I'm no expert at Steely flies but i personally like orange/black combo flies. I tie a pretty killer prawn pattern that one customer of ours swears by. Its all he carries. But i definatly love tying them. Your imagination is the only limits.

Post by: younggun on April 24, 2007, 10:30:06 PM: probably, I like tying my patterns with silver tinsel so they have some flash. If it doesn't work for coho, u can count on it producing for chum(they'll hit anything!)

Post by: fintail1 on April 25, 2007, 04:32:47 PM: either flash or a white under body for a good minnow look, but coho like flash the best

Post by: Xgolfman on April 27, 2007, 03:58:00 PM: Jim, what flies have been the most successful for you?? I would like to see them and possibly why they worked???
I'm getting my spey gear finally, had enough of the 9wt. too much work for my old a$$.... Ever off during the week that you might wanna chuck some???

Post by: jetboatjim on April 27, 2007, 07:28:45 PM: You bet Golfie, I'll bring the flies and you bring the cigars. ;D ;)

But really I like anything dark with orange or pink highlights its gotta be thin and have some movement,but very little flash.

anything will work, you just have to have faith in it.

In may I have caught steelies on fry/minnow patterns, and I have killed fish in the past and found fry in the stomach,along with cigarette butts and small pieces of wood.

so I don't think their very picky.

Have you spey casted before? Do I need a faceshield? and ear muffs?(to keep your hooks outta my nice ears.)
