Some buddies and I are heading up to the squamish area in search of some Chum and maybe the odd coho this weekend, so i was wondering any secret weapons of choice i should be tying up?

Thank you in advance,

For chum I prefer popsicles in all sorts of colours but my favs are purple/blue/black and the orange/cerise/purple. Other flies are the egg sucking leech and bunny leeaches in a variety of colours.

Marabou type flies, I usally start with Light pink and white, bit of red....if that aint it I go dark, black and purple.

Don't forget, no retention on Chum now.

If you just want to catch Chum on the fly gear dont use fancy flies as you will loose alot
just use a bait loop hook and put on some wool
try big first then go smaller
Red, Orange, bright pink, Green etc
way cheaper and easy to change the color and size till you find what is working best
Now for the Ho's well Black with blue, Black with bright green, Black with red etc :thumbup:

Thats for sure, the best one for me this year was these cheap poorly made flies at canadain tire... they were called russian river flies and looked like a bare shank streamer and were 3 for $2.50. The green/chartrouse ones worked amazing for the chum, My buddies and I cleaned out the langfor one so dont look there

Purple/black popsicles.

I would highly recomend those Russian River flies in the green. They are the closest comercial match to my Mat Green that I have seen. It doesn't get much better or cheaper than that!

Is this the fly you are talking about? I know the colour is wrong, but that is a small matter

As recall that's a match.
