[HOOK]

when you guys are referring to Inch creek are you actually meaning Norrish (Suicide) creek. Inch creek is basically a really shallow trickle and im not sure if you can even fish it 

if your talking about Norrish then yes very small glo bugs can be very good especially if your amongst a bunch of roe chuckers. I would also try swinging/retrieving flash flies and rolled muddlers (try pink) because they work well in that river. The fly i mentioned in this thread is my go to fly for this river however im not giving away where i like to fish it 

[abbott101]

yeah i mean norrish so they do work there. what size is "small" size 10,12 or should i fish trout beads. oh maybe peg a pink trout bead above a peach coloured glow bug so i have to different colours and a better chance. what kinda indacators should i use?? yarn ones or the new dne balsa ones?? also its pretty hard to cast and retrieve with all the gear sluts chucking their wool and roe.

[HOOK]

I would use the big quick release indicators, and i mean the big ones because your going to want one or even two decent sized split shot on the line. you could also try using a tiny dink float LOL which they do sell cause i have some. I would tie glo bugs in like a size 6/8/10 in a few colours like Red, Orange, Pink, Peach, Green and perhaps even blue. If you notice the roe guys getting fish on a certain colour its a good idea to copy it because the fish will key on colour if the water is being chummed for you  Of course you could try trout beads i dont see why they wouldnt work. With the glo bugs i would tie some mixed coloured ones also like Orange with a dot of Red.

When should a person use split shots?whats this indicator your talking about. I usually just fish with no weight, tried split shot before but found line wasn't flowing off the rod nice so I took it off.I'm using a sinking line, maybe just a bad fly to weight combo?

[HOOK]

im only suggesting split shot if you wanna fish a glo bug like a tuft of wool on a fly rod. I tie my glo bugs with metal beads to keep the fly down but also add a split shot. you can get the strike indicators at alot of places, here are a few that have some: Reaction Fly & Tackle, Michael & Young, Army & Navy, basically all shoprs should have them. the tiny dink floats i got at A&N for fishing jigs for pinks (for my brothers when they were down)


you can also just cast with a sink tip and let your glo bug dead drift this way also. you want to make sure your mending properly or you will just be swinging and long lining fish however. if you choose this way i really suggest adding a bead above the egg yarn but when you do the yarn tie it up close enough that it sort of hides the bead  using this technique for glu bugs while very effective its also a little tougher to keep your fly in the zone longer like the other method does. If im going to bother fish glo bugs i like the first method but i dont fish them much for salmon at least.

I use a sinking tip so i guess strike indicators would out of the question then.Can you buy glo bugs I've never heard of them?

Hey Mike,

Glo Bug = http://www.danica.com/flytier/jwestphal/glo_bug.htm

Here's a link to a fly tying video (very easy and quick to tie): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dH89oNSlMIA

You might increase your chances by using a faster sink-tip line, fast-sinking poly leaders or tungsten beads, which will enable your fly to reach slightly greater depths in the heavier water, but it is important to resist the urge to strike at every bump or tug, as your chances of snagging fish will increase as well. Using "circle hooks" will also help to redue the chances of snagging fish.

I tend to use a medium-paced, erratic hand-twist for situations such as this, and employ a strip-set once I've felt the weight of the fish. This retrieval method allows "followers" the opportunity for multiple strikes when the fly pattern has a longer tail or if they miss their target - while avoiding the flesh of salmon that the hook might have inadvertently bumped into.

Another proven tactic is to "high-stick" with heavily-weighted egg patterns or peach-coloured Czech Nymphs. I have caught many Coho in pocket-water and pools using this technique, where 'conventional' methods simply aren't as effective.

If you're fairly new to Coho fishing, I'd personally recommend focusing on the type of water that is more conducive to fly fishing (frog-water, shallow pools and sloughs), which is generally much easier and offers instant gratification that builds confidence for newbies and novice anglers. The key is to make any form of angling a fun and enjoyable experience, as a happy and confident angler is a successful one...

I gotta say there are many inconsiderate people that fish on the Vedder.I was fishing this pool or say edge of bank that the Coho seemed to like very still water.Nobody was fishing this spot it was clear all around me I was like sweet! good area to back cast and space from others.There was still a lot of people lined up and down the bank on both sides.Some were catching the odd coho and still catching pink.So I started casting and it didn't take long before I was hitting fish and landing coho after coho.People started to notice,then they started to close in! I had floats coming in from everywhere even as I was in the middle of a cast,even had one hook my line.I was getting mad but said nothing by this time it was the middle of the day almost turkey time I had caught 20 or so already, arm was dead.I was shocked to see that people were like this over fishing I love fishing too,but have some respect for each other.I would never do this to any body.Oh and I couldn't believe all the beer cans.I'm not a tree hugger but clean up after yourselves.
