coho and cutts

[flyslinger]

I was out for a couple hours yesterday in Fulford here on saltspring island and had a blast.I landed 5 coho and a couple nice cutties which had that nice golden,yellow colour with heavy spotting.I also lost 4 more.I started with #4 mickey finn,then they seamed to lose interest,so I swithed to a #6 black wooley bugger with some flash.They went nutts for this when stripped very fast.After awhile they tired of this offering and my fingers were numb and the tide was falling,so I called it a day.I have noticed the fish only come in shallow on a high tide.About an hour before,durring and an hour after high tide is the best.The fish weren't huge,but a couple of the coho were in the 3lb range and faught well on a 5 weight.

Oh I might be a little green around the gills right now.
-8. All the water is hard.
Anything that isn't I can't get to because of snow.
Keep em' coming.
I am living vicariously through all the coast folk this year.

I have caught sea-runs in Fulford Harbour. Beautiful, healthy fish. I've had my best winter SRC fishing here on southern V.I. in the last 10 years. Have landed a few Bluebacks as well.
