Notes
A pink salmon fry imitation fished for coastal cutthroat trout, which key in on newly available pink fry in local rivers in spring as they hatch and migrate. Steve Hanson designed it, and he and Gil Sage used it on the Bella Coola River in March-April, where it closely matched the migrating pink fry. Fluoro Fibre replaces dyed mallard flank for the back to make the fly more durable.
