Rolled mudlers is always a good bet for coho...my favorite fly for coho in the harrison.  I have also been lucky with a simple mickey fin in smaller streams.  Good luck.

Olive beadhead mudler for the Harrison is my most productive fly. If you're looking for some fun, try a slow retrieve with a black or white wooly bugger for some chums, always fun...just be prepared for a long fight !!!

 Ray your going to try the fly I think thats great :) :)

  Like the others have mentioned you can't go wrong with a muddler
  Gold with a little blue has never let me down otherwise known as the coho killer
  I know one guy that uses nothing but small black leaches and is very succesful.
   
  whatever you try have fun and good luck :)

i find that circle hooks arent really needed unless there is tons of fish and the chances of snagging increases. thats when i use them.

You hit yourself in the head with a BB and now you're going to try fly fishing?  LOL  
Can I get tickets to the practice field ;D
Try an egg sucking leach.  Purple leach sucking a pink egg.  Good for Steelies as well.

i find that the purple egg sucking leech attracts more chum than steelhead, so unless your targeting them i dont really bother until steelhead season ;)
