In this video, I’m tying and fishing a pattern that was featured in Richard Stoll’s ‘Fly Fishing Inshore Waters for Pacific Salmon’(2012). My first time using the ‘Coho Special”, I catch a nice hatchery Coho salmon. I’ve subsequently caught other good fish on this fly, and it’s earned a regular spot in my rotation!
