somebody can recommend some flies for coho at vedder ? Do I need to use sinking line or floating line ?

christmas trees. depending on where your fishing, probably a floating line, and/or , floating line w/ sink tip.
-
why a sinking tip is better than a full sinking line ?
-
would try muddler minnows in blue, brown or black. Also try christmas trees(springs also like these). Also try glow bugs.

Also deadly on the stave

how do you fish these? cast upstream and let them drift? or strip?
-
Cast just slightly upstream, just mend the line as she goes downstream.

Hey bb do you like a floating or sink tip or sink? or do you change between to adapt? Im itchin to get into this ;D
-
i find i get them alot on the swing when i am stripping slowly. coho blues slay em....good luck
-
thanks for the info guys, and about the depth of the fly, where would it be ideal when drifting through a run? (I'm asking this to know if i should add a sink tip or not)
Oh and one more question, when fly fishing for pinks back in their river systems what flys work? I've tried the common "anything pink" (ie, pink wolly buggers, pink etc) and nothing worked despite that there were pinks everywhere!! Does this mean that they're not biting anymore?

On a river like the Vedder a ghost tip is what I prefer. Or a slime line. Dont use floating lines very often. If I am fishing a slough with no current a floating line with a weight fly would do as your fly only needs to be subsurface. 99% of the time the fish are caught on the swing for me.
-
I use a multi tip system for fly line. I attach the different tips depending on the speed of the water. You want to get the fly down into the zone as fast as possible but you also do not want the line to get hung up. I strip the line as it swings. You will want to hang on as when some of the fish hit they hit hard.

Was on the Vedder today with a fly rod, the water has some colour to it (rained last night), I was using a tapered medium sinking tip... with about 5ft of 10lbs mono for the leader.
Blue muddlers any combo, flash, colours mix, but basic blue worked best... Jacks and Coho hit that colour all day.
