This 3 fly cast, each set about 42" apart, was really good.
Went 4:1 over the kids trolling, but they got a double and had fun.

Here are a couple flies I’ve been fishing lately. In fact, these are the only two flies I’ve tied on since the mid July MA9 salmon opener.
This little guy put in some work! A few keeper coho, countless shakers, and one adult chinook later, and I’m giving it a well earned retirement.
The next has been my real coho slayer. Lots of fish to hand and to the beach. It finally succumbed to a rock met in an errant backcast. Gone but not forgotten.

I would save that fly you got the adult chinook on!

Yep, going on the wall of fame for sure along with the fly I got my biggest coho on. Really wish I would have kept the fly I caught the summer run chum on (from the beach) back in the day.
I swung up my first and only steelhead a few years ago, meant to save that tube fly but it fell out from back of my van when I was changing out my wader by the Hoh
Hare's ear took the first fish as usual, just to make sure fish were present, and everything else worked too. I think that muddler was too big and the least effective.
The pine squirl leech with rubber craw pinchers was the best
some shinny ones in with the normal more colorful mix
at first I though I hooked up short fin grayling, but doh.....

Didn't see much in the way of bugs so I tied on a muddler daddy, which was fantastic, even after the legs got torn off, which didn't take long.
teamed up with a march brown soft hackle, which took several fish after they missed the dry

Beautiful fish. The cherry on top of a good fishing day.
Another Friday, another I-90 lake. The Cuttthroat liked these. Simple jig water beetle consisting of Tungsten bead head, peacock hearl, silver wire rib, and black soft hackle courtesy of the neighborhood crows. The Stimi type fly stripped under the surface caught a 15" fish.

I read panfish like little softhackles. Yea, they do, I gave up after 45 minutes of micro fish. I don't think anything could beat them to it.
Might be the red bead, the olive willy was as good as a simi-seal leech with one.
