John O'Brien 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2010 These flies work great of the beaches on the east coast of Vancouver Island. JR’s Euphausiid (Krill) light and dark pink. they should be fished with a floting line and an Airflo clear intermediate sinking poly sinking leader 6 lb. tippet for pinks and 8 lb. for coho. I use a 6 or 7 wt. 9' rod. For pinks cast in front of the school let sink untill fish are close then slow inch retrieve. The streamers are more for Coho same system but faster retrieve normally you are fishing in less than 5 ' of water Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ridleyffo 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2010 Thanks for posting the patterns and the information as well. The fishing technique is something I always appreciate. Got me thinking that a smaller sample would work great for the shad runs this spring. I will ty some up and try them in April and May. Thanks again.
