Favorite coho fly
« 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.

Rolled Gold Muddler.

A very sparse variation of the muddler minnow.

x3!

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.

I here that the "little green monster" is deadly. They tie them up at Hatch matchers in maple ridge. They swear by them.

finding your limits is fun, it can also be VERY painful.

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.

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".
