As far as i can tell anyway. It lookded like a leach carcass. definately wasn't a fish. about two and a half inches, and has some definate pincer type things on the end of it, and ribs from head to tail like a leach, and not in the way a fish does

anyway, point being, in retrospect the pattern caught alot of fish, several days in a row actually, and looked like a decent pile worm imitation, which got me thinking if anywone has much experience with pile worms as a cutty food source ]]> WF-6-S http://www.flyfishbc.com/forums/threads/5246-pile-worms http://www.flyfishbc.com/forums/threads/5219-Recommend-a-fly-line-for-saltwater-coho?goto=newpost Mon, 30 Aug 2010 00:56:59 GMT Hey folks,

I'm heading to WCVi next week and we plan to chase some coho on the fly in the salt (around the kelp beds, I'm told). Neither I or my buddy have any experience with this.

I'm bringing my 7wt and 9wt rods. I have various freshwater lines, including a quad- tip system, and a saltwater floating line for the 9wt.

I was told by a guy in a fishing ship to pick up something like a 300 grain Airflo Depth Charge line to get down deeper, but I don't know how much he really knew about this fishery.

I've done a bunch of googling, and what I've read seemed to point toward a standard sink tip or even a floating line.

I would appreciate any advice on the type of line you'd recommend, as well as the weight (ie. 7 or 9).

I'd be tempted to get a freshwater versi-tip line for my 9wt if it would work, as this would give me the maximum versatility for my dollar, but I don't want to sacrifice for this trip too much.

Regards,

Eric ]]> EricNotTheRed http://www.flyfishbc.com/forums/threads/5219-Recommend-a-fly-line-for-saltwater-coho http://www.flyfishbc.com/forums/threads/5215-WCVI-saltwater-coho-flies?goto=newpost Fri, 27 Aug 2010 20:42:07 GMT Hey folks,

I'm heading over to Bamfield early next to fish with a buddy and we're going after some coho in the salt.

It's my first time targeting Coho in the salt, and I want to tie up some appropriate flies.

I'd appreciate any info (pattern, sizes, colours, etc).

Thanks!

It seems that the fish have magically vanished since sometime on the weekend :( Last week was epic, but now it seems to be over until more fish show up...

Went out today casted to empty water and asked around - nothing showing, only 1 fish caught in today and only one small school seen in the morning. Last week it seemed like you could have walked to the ligthhouse and back on jumping fish.

Heading out to a different spot tomorrow, and likely won't go back to the Clux until the next full moon to see if any fresh fish arrive.

Weather up here seems to be consistently foggy with low but steady breeze. Should be perfect fishing conditions... ]]> btree http://www.flyfishbc.com/forums/threads/5188-Clux-Update http://www.flyfishbc.com/forums/threads/5179-Finally!-My-first-pink-on-the-fly.?goto=newpost Fri, 13 Aug 2010 20:48:31 GMT After a couple of years of sporadic attempts (because that is all you get when you have a new child) I finally landed a Pink Salmon on a fly.

The setting was a little more urban than I usually prefer to fish, but that is where the fish were...
