Sea Run Cutthroat in rivers. What's your jam?

[Cowlitz Bottomfeeder]

What are your favorite streamers for SRCs once they've entered freshwater? In the past, I've used stuff like the standard reverse spiders, spruce, and sometimes borden specials. What else do you folks like using? I plan on actually targeting them a little bit prior to N coast rivers shutting down for trout and looking for other options (even though I kinda already have some ideas). It's been a few years since I've ventured out after them.

The Pistol Pete was my favorite on the Cowlitz back when it was overstocked with cutthroat. Size 8, black with a red tail.

#12 my "confidence" searching (wet) fly, has fooled hundreds of fish.

#12 variation

#10, Beadhead Dazzleair for deep pools and has fooled my largest to date.
