[shawn]

What colors or flys would anyone suggest.This is my first year fly fishing for salmon I watched a few people do it last year looked like a blast keep in mind I will be tying all my own flies>Thanks for reading and any feed back would greatly help me and probably others.:colors:

Last year I watched a lot of fly fisherman and most of their flies were pink.

I have never fly fished for Salmon in Wa, but have in Juneau Ak. The fly boxes there look like pink and purple rabbits shoved in a 6x4 box. Egg patterns (if you call that a pattern) and egg sucking leaches where what I caught my fish on via a 9 weight. The egg sucking leach was a huge weighted hook with a pink front and basicly a purple wooly bugger. I bet must steelhead flys would work ie a Snokomish Sunrise
