Cox Gurgler Fly is not just a catchy name it is an effective top water pattern for Coho Salmon. To induce more strikes, then, especially when the fly is about twenty or thirty feet away from you, it’s often very effective to change the speed and direction of the fly by wiggling your rod tip or describing a figure-eight with your line, moving the fly off to your left or right, which forces the fish to focus more on the fly and less on your presence and also makes the fish think that his prey is about to escape him and that it had better pounce now or lose out on a meal. I’ve caught many fish this way, often within five or six feet of my rod tip.
