Just wondering if there are anyone els out there going after the up and coming springers with a fly or spey rod ? I know im gonna go after them with my spey rod but it would be my first time going after them with a fly, is there anyone who has had luck with theys bad boys and if so what fly patterns would you suggest, pics would be bad ass so maybe i can tie some up ?  |

It's not the most productive, but it's kick ass when you hook up with one..the yakima was money last year..

last year i was hooking kings left and right with my 8 wt 9 footer with a black string leech during normal water conditions with about 4-5 feet viz, now i wanna try for one of them chrome springers with my spey rod, so i guess myabe i should try a big purple string leech ! i got some other flashy patterns as well but i saved them for the coho but now ill give the flashy stiff a try for the springers.
