Are those mostly for the salt?

[tbar24]

yes all except for the few alaskabous i have in there, but i am open to fresh water flies too

no one willing to share?

For coho try the coho buggar, also known as the california neal.
Hook- i like straight shank, straight eye saltwater hooks, size 10-6, tiemco 9394, or a slightly shorter shank.
tail- bucktail and a couple strands of flashabou
body- pearl braid, palmered with grizzly hackle and counter wound with wire for durability
head- thread, head cement, add eyes or bead for weight if required

Very easy to tie. try it in chartreuse and always have some in pink for when the pinks are at the beach.

Did you tie those? they certainly are going in the right direction. It seems that the really good salt fly guys (which i'm not claiming to be) have very few patterns, in a few sizeswith slight variations.

For Fraser River pinks, i've not found a fly better than a size 8 sparse hot pink and white clouser. i have about 50 tied up in preparation for the fall, with more to come.

thanks for the suggestions, ill tye up the buggars as soon as i get some more stainless hooks(i ran out a few days ago) i have a few pink clousers about half a dozen of 'em but ill probably tie more up once i get my lead eyes and my hooks stoked up and yes i tied those flies, im relativily new to saltwater flyfishing so im tryin to find some patterns that will work for me just so i have some more options
thanks

I fish on the Island and I'd have to say that the clouse tied sparse is a killer here too. Though I try to do several colors as pink isn't always the flavour of the hour. Try green and also some blue.

thanks, ya i have quite afew clousers in pink, chartreuse,blue, purple, orange and red. has any one tried a clouser tied with a rabitt strip instead of bucktail for the overwing(could be under wing depending on how you look at it, but i mean if the hook is up) i think that would give it some good movement ill post a pic in a little bit cause no i really wanna go tie one of those

so this is the proto-type for it
hook:stainless hook(whatever your prefence)
thread: pink
tail:white bucktail
underwing:silver flashabou
wing: pink sonker strip
