I like to buck tail and cast flies for salmon of the west coast of VI. I was wondering if any of the other members did and would share their patterns.
That sounds fantastic. I fly fish rivers and lakes but never tried in the ocean. Where do you fish? I assume 9 or 10 weights for springs. Are you casting sink tips? I’d be grateful if you could share a few details.
Cool post, thanks for sharing.
Curious, and this may be a dumb question as I’m relatively new to the salt water game, but what food source are these flys supposed to mimic in the ocean?
Cheers
I do a lot of buck-tailing coast-wide because I love to fish but have a sailboat with a bimini top which is a pain when I'm using my downrigger (although it doesn't stop me) I have caught some big coho up in Rivers and Hakai area as well as a few springs!I like to buck tail and cast flies for salmon of the west coast of VI.

How would a guy get started making trolling flies? Anyone recommend a good how to book?
agreed , I tied some 3 and 4 “ with pink and white for my Uncle and he’s asked for moreA Pink stripe often works well for Coho.......
