Cap Food Estuary Coho Fly Tying Video

This fly is a combination of effective patterns that work well on our local beaches, including one that I particularly like quite a bit. The mirage flash that is incorporated into the tail and the body gives plenty of eye-catching enticement to the fly and the polar bear and hackle combination can easily be mistaken for a krill or crab larva. 

While orange remains my preferred colour for Coho fishing off the beach, I also like tying it in Chartreuse, Pink, and Blue. For those seeking an effective pattern to test in estuary Coho fishing, this one is definitely worth a try!
