This is an alevin or fry pattern (without the egg sac) for spring fishing in local rivers, streams and estuaries. |

Another Alevin. This one is my favourite because it's just so darn pretty! Hopefully the fish will like it too. |

This fly works well for sea-run cutthroat in the estuary as well as for trout on the lakes. The pattern originated with Tom McConnell. |

We observed large schools of needlefish while beach fishing for sea-run cutthroat in July and again in September watched coho feeding on needlefish. Here is our version of a needlefish pattern. |

This pattern is based on a fly I found on the beach at Salmon Point this summer. Ted added the underwing and flash lateral line to develop this pattern. Use the smaller hook sizes for sea-run cutthroat and the larger hook for coho salmon. |

This is a Searun Cutthroat pattern in the smaller size and an excellent fly for Pink Salmon in the size 8. |

Great Spring fly for cutthroat especially in the river. This is easy to tie and is a great imitation of a newly hatched alevin (salmon fry). |
