Silver Salmon Fly Selection

We’ve written in the past about some silver salmon flies that we like to use at Alaska West on the Kanektok River, but that was in boring old words-and-pictures blog format.

Today we’ve got a video featuring George Cook, Northwest angling mainstay and Sage/Redington/Rio rep, telling us about his approach to selecting flies for silvers at Alaska West.  In moving pictures right on your computer, George covers

  • Some specific patterns he likes
  • What sequence of colors to use in any particular hole
  • Some elements of fly design and presentation that appeal to silvers.

Have a look!

If you’re viewing this in a newsletter or a reader, or if you’d like to see George and his flies in large-format glory, click here to view the video on YouTube.
