Astoria Or. Salmon Flyfishing? - 09/12/17
This will be my first time on the Columbia going with a guide out of Astoria Oregon. I want to put some fish in the boat with the meat gear and then try a fly rod. What flies are good? What weight rod is best as there will still be some kings around but mostly Silvers (Coho). I have fished for them a lot in rivers as a guide in Alaska and some in salt in Puget Sound so am not sure if the river flies will work or should I stick to bait fish imitations? I think the heaviest line I have is a 600 grain deep water express, sort of heavy for a nine weight but cast like a cannon on the eleven weight.
Any advice appreciated as I have a short time to tie up more flies.
