Excellent post! Thanks for the go to flies.  :) I've finally been out with the fly for salmon this year. I love it! It takes you away from all the float fishers.  ;)

Mickey finns are red under and yellow over wings.
The blue over green wing is called a Kelsey's Hope. Add some flash into either pattern and they can be killer for almost all types of salmon.
Good to hear the Cheddar is still producing.

i was out yestaeray to and still lots of coho around and lots of them were fresh and willing to bite, only saw 4 people all day i think that helped though, also tons of chum some very chrome. was fly fishing catching tons of chum then hooked a spring and snapped my rod so went to the pin and fished jigs and jensen eggs nd couldnt keep the hoes and chum off. was fishing upper/mid river.

nothing wrong with adding a brass/copper bead to them either "wink wink"  ;)
