Ah, the simple days of wool. Chartreuse wool worked well too. Then you would get into blending colours: peach and red formed a nice contrast.  The days when your vest pockets were bulging with wool and it looked like you were carrying Joseph’s Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. 😀

been trying chartreuse wool a lot this season. no luck yet. Starting to think wool may not be as effective as it was in the past.

FWIW, yesterday on the Vedder my buddy caught three hatchery coho on orange wool when nobody else was getting bites. His leader was under two feet long, his hook with the ultra-tiny bit of yarn proved deadly when nothing else worked. In every instance, the hook with the yarn were inhaled by the fish.

He explained to me that a size 2 hook (which is his to-go hook size for coho) drifts perfectly in the water column with just a tiny little bit of yarn.

Curiously, no other type of salmon hit the setup, even though there were chum, pink and spring jacks in the mix. Thinking about it, the size of the yarn on his hook was no bigger than your average coho single egg (3-4mm in diameter).

Maybe that was the decisive factor for his success?
