Leaders For Coho // How to Fly Fish For Salmon

[@n70199]

Love coho on the fly. More tips please. Thanks!

[@bugpumper]

Excellent video once again Matt! I'm pretty much using 10 ft of tapered flouro leader in all systems these days from 12lb down to even 8lb. But I always use 3x surgeon knots to connect them, I think I should start using the blood knot as you suggested. Cheers!!

[@PacificAnglerTV]

Thanks Chris for the support. I know lots of guys who still love the surgeons and catch lots of fish but if I have the time I like the blood a little bit More. Not a game changer but worth having in the skill set. 👍

Looking at that computer photo around 8:12. high water rafting! Nice shot...who took that?

[@PacificAnglerTV]

That’s me on squamish with the 14 ft raft getting eaten by a standing wave. Can’t remember who took it.

Matt, you rock!!👍

Not to early to re-watch

[@ddt1352]

awesome video once again! Any opinion on tippet ring/swivel in place of the blood knot?

[@PacificAnglerTV]

I have been using tippet rings a ton and love them. But Never tried it for coho. In 99% of conditions I bet it would work great. 👍

Hi, Thank you for the video. I’m new in fly fishing.. what would you recommend for main line in vedder and for capilano? Thank you!

[@PacificAnglerTV]

Versa tip for vedder or better yet integrated I s3 s5 line. Type 6-7 full sink for canyon pools at the cap. 👍🤟

[@saiedjamshidi2087]

Hey Matt, would you recommend this leader set-up for beach fishing too (e.g. Ambleside)?

[@matthewsharp6928]

I run the clear intermediate tip with10ft 10lb full fluo tapered leader. For the beach.

Maxima UG in 12lbs is 0.13 its just a BIT thicker

[@PacificAnglerTV]

Totally right. 0.02 doesn’t sound like much but in comparison it would be like going to 9lb maxima. You can feel the difference + the clarity gain when comparing the refractive index of maxima is massive. Just so everyone has the numbers. I was drinking and didn’t do my homework lol 😂 Max .013 vs blue label 0.011 8lb max 0.010 We all know the noticeable jump when you go from 12 max to 8lb Even 10lb max (0.012) is a noticeable jump.

[@fishingislifeeverythingels7423]

If you’re scared of your Florida cutting through your mono why not just use double uni knot?

[@PacificAnglerTV]

The uni knot is amazing and we use it a lot but the tag ends come off at 45 or even less so they can cause catch points for double over tangles.
