Silvers on the Fly

Fly Fishing for Silvers — Pure Adrenaline
If you want to catch a salmon on a fly rod that actually bites out of aggression (rather than just instinct), silver salmon are your target. Coho hit stripped streamers so hard they will rip the line out of your hands, followed by immediate aerial acrobatics.
✓
The Gear
An 8-weight rod with a sink-tip line is the standard Kenai setup.
✓
The Flies
Pink and purple articulated leeches, Clouser Minnows, and Flash Flies.
✓
The Strip
A fast, erratic strip triggers their predatory instinct.
✓
Topwater Wogs
In slow back-eddies, silvers will actually crush pink topwater poppers (wogs).
