coho

Anyone ever have luck swinging green butt skunks deep for coho?

Giving up on catching a steelhead and trying to figure out other uses for your flybox?

I'm sure they'd work eventually but the strip is way more productive for coho than a dead swing.

I never give up my friend. I was just curious and thought it would be a fun topic.
 
No bright fish to be found but a 4 species day is always fun. Also got my pr bull trout for this system.VideoCapture_20231125-161749.jpg

Use to like what I called the fall anadromous slam, coho, sea-run, bull trout, chum and steelhead. Several times managed to pull of that slam with wild fish. With the current situation with chums and steelhead much more difficult today.

If I wanted to have the least amount of flies and gear possible to hit the river for coho, what would you take to the river, and how/where would one fish it? I appreciate all the advice but freshwater salmon on the fly seems to get more daunting rather than less the more I read about it! I almost think I should stick to steelhead

Three flies: Glo bug trimmed very small (max. 3/8"), dead drifted. Gold bodied Rolled Muddler #6 or #8, with the deer hair trimmed way down (small head, and less than 6 hairs left on the wing. Mallard wing absent or miniscule), vary the retrieve. Pearl Mickey #6 or #8, vary the retrieve. If chum are present, use circle hooks to prevent snagging them.
