I'll second the rolled muddler.  It's a very reliable fly and I've had great success with it.

I fished the Harrison yeaterday f/ a boat & the vis was piss-poor.  I had to work hard to hook 3 Pinks in a million casts.  Chart. Clouser worked, although if they could see, many flies would have.  When tying, I had the wrong hook, wrong colour thread, & Polar Bear Hair instead of Bucktail (I was too lazy/cheap to go buy more materials).  Now the Clouser gets a spot in my box.  Thanks, again.  I could neither confirm nor deny I saw any Sox jumping--tons of Pinks, though.  Also lots of flossers across the Fraser hootin' & hoolerin'.  I wish they'd shut that fishery down or restrict the gear to 2' leader & size 1 hook!

Most of those fish you see are Sockeye,  the native nets are full of them, which is why it was so hard to get those pinks.  I have been fishing the Harrison for the last few days and the pinks are few and far between still.  Give it a few more weeks.

I was @ the confluence & there were tons of Pinks & they are very distinctive the way they look/jump + the Socks are generally bigger...  I did see some big splashes & missed what the fish looked like...  Upon leaving I noticed some clean water upstream f/ the #7 bridge.  Chehalis water I presume.  C & R there, but maybe better fishing?

Tight Loops,

Some guys do that in the Fraser because it is like chocolate milk, not that I'm condoning it.  In cleaner streams they bite.  I'm sure y'all know that & have caught them in the Vedder or Thompson before.  The day I went was from a boat in the Harrison & although dirty, I did entice 3 Pinks to bite my fly, no Sox, however.  I wasn't flossing, I can tell you that.
