| Irideus Tangerine Dream and Krypto Chrome tube flies done and ready for Alaska and California clients. These flies get the attention of angry king Salmon early in the morning. Feather river and Sacramento river King Salmon tend to hit flies from grey light until about 8 AM so your window is small. You may get some reaction strikes late in the day but the middle of the day tends to be off. It does happen but better to focus on some good advice. hence that was the good advice for people trying their luck this year on the local Nor Cal waters. |
More tube flies for all salmon species cleanly held tight in the irideus Tribute tube fly box. Standard salmon fly fishers will find any conehead fly will also firt into the flex foam. It holds hooks and has 88 slits for standard flies or hooks. Its a great box worth owning.
Some clean Feather river California chrome. If you put your time in even at mid day a dram fish may take your fly. You never know unless you go.
Some basic Feather River king Salmon flies. We also will fish Irideus Kasilof Cassy Intruders which are pink. Some other hot picks would be the Mortal trout tube flies. They will hit ever so light only trying to injure or destroy the intruder or egg so you have to be ready to set that hook. if you do not keep in contact with your fly or you will miss salmon. They do not crush the fly all the time.
A big Sacramento River King that fell for black after the normal morning bite. fly fishing can be a tough game on this river. We suggest finding a good local guide to help you if you are new to the area. If you need a referal contact us we are happy to put you into good hands.
King Salmon in California and the Irideus timothy Horner American Flag tube flies are a perfect fit. When wet this fly will be seen and snapped at by fresh King Salmon. Its a worthy fly to pack into your arsenal for all salmon species. Well sockeyes may not hit this fly but thats the truth on them. Some say they will hit a shrimp style fly but its a toic we will pass on today.
Irideus Pink Intruders ready for a morning swim. Fly fishing with the love color early in the morning gets the blood pumping and all cylinders firing.
An irideus Baitfish fly that will temp kings but also may put a striper on your fly rod. Both the feather river and Sacramento river hold striper worthy of any fly casters time. last weekend we found a school of small striper. They ended up making our day. The salmon have been slow at least on the Sacramento. Seasoned guides will help you find them but the fly fishing game is slow. Aggressive schools on tiny baitfish flies can be a blast. We even hooked a few on the barbie kids rod which made for some great fun and laughs. Its about having fun so remember that. We see some stuffy folks out there at times that are missing the big picture and also referals. so have fun people!
