Friday Night Flies – California Neil
Friday Night Flies – California Neil
The California Neil over the years has become a staple pattern on BC fresh and salt waters for Coho Salmon. It is very reminiscent of a Wooly Bugger but don’t underestimate it’s simplicity. Coho love small flies and there is something about this fly’s sparseness that makes Coho go crazy for it.
