When everyone uses pink, I use chartreuse or something else.

Agreed. Some times I am lead to believe the pinks avoid everything that looks the same, so I switch it up to other gear that looks different in shape (I.e. blades) and not just colour as noted in the murky waters, colours do not really differ.

This season while fishing the Squamish, I rotated through bright orange, hot pink and chartreuse flies in same size and pattern and found bright orange to out perform both hot pink and chartreuse for some reason. My guess is that bright orange fly looked like krill which is one of the main diet for pinks while feeding up in Alaskan waters. I just could not keep them off the orange fly.

I was fishing the North Arm in the Port Man area yesterday and I saw a guy using a pink plastic worm and a size 1 red hook under a float and he landed 2 pinks in less than 20 minutes when the rest of the guys didn't catch anything!! Has anybody successfully used pink plastic worms in tidal Fraser and has any recommendations on the setup and retrieve??

my friend was using small pink worms and hook trying to get some trout and pinks kept biting the worm.  great fight on a 5'6" rod and 4lb test.

I then tied on a blue clouser pattern I used for bonefish in belize and proceeded to catch 2 pinks in 15 minutes.

if you can get the lure, fly, blade or spoon into the strike zone. a pink will bite it
