I like a size 4, but will go to a 3.5 or 3 as well  since #4's can be hard to find in tackle shops during September and October.

Silver hammered, gold hammered (I like the actual gold plated ones so they do not tarnish like brass) have produced some great coho and springs over the past two seasons

the water I've been fishing lately (as most of you I'm sure) has been gin clear with just a bit of colour, so I've been using size 2 and even size 1's in gold, copper and silver hammered.  haven't had all that much success however, at least not with coho so far so you might want to go with hue-nut and Banny's advice.
