Great bite at the fingers this morning.

A lot of fun getting them using the 9 wt fly rods and the 175 old school Daiwa reels on mini flashers/hoochie setups.

27 and 37 on the rigger

Oooh that flasher!

Oooh that flasher!

Isn’t it a beauty? I’ve used that for cohos for 15 years

Solid morning today. Limit of coho for 2 by 630am. Tackle, technique, location, gear, and depth irrelevant -- it all worked -- even the 6" thrift store plug.

I’m probably too young. I have no clue what that is. In order to educate me, can you add a picture please?

Glad you're getting some chances to use that reel.

Just a very light tackle set up to match the fish size.
At my advanced age using very light tackle options to catch fish is very attractive to me
