Preparation of the pinks
« on: July 26, 2011, 09:50:25 PM »
Just wondering to get peoples preferences on what lures they use for Pinks in the tidal Fraser. This will be my first time trying for them and could use any advice.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, Hotrod spoons by Les Davis. Too bad they don't make them anymore.

Other than flies my go to lure is a spinner. Havent had as many hookups on anything else. Rod I am going to need some more of those spinners. Let me know when you get to making some so I can place an order.

Gooey Bob tied above a 7OT Redwolf Barbless with a piece of flagging tape tied to the hook anyways.

I thought you were talking about my spoons, but then I remember that they have been cold for you all these years. ;D

Another vote for pink spoons - caught a ton in the bar above pegleg with a small spincaster. Also, some times of the day they went for a medium-sized blue fly ...

cutthroat, and other fraser river jiggers, do you prefer to jig directly off the bottom as you bring it in, or do you jig it off the bottom a bit?

also I've  done real well with orange, pink or red buzz bombs in lower fraser jigged vertically.
Small flies like a pink wooly bugger with a gold beadhead has worked well.  I don't think pinks like faster retreives either, low and slow. And be prepared for hits at your feet, haha.
But if you can, I def think fly rod gives best bang for buck for pinkies.
