Re: Salmon leaders/fly question


I have used Power Pro Braided 30 and 40 Lb tippets, not tappered and 2-3' long and held a 38" Chinook last year. The Chartruse Butt should attract, but Hot pink and Yellow Red combinations on flies work better! Also see my Salmon Threat, involved, but hooks Salmon! Also hot pink egg and black Marabou bodied and tailed leechs work!!!

For fast/deep waters what is the general length/lb strength of leaders you would use for Chinook? Also wanted to know if anyone has had luck with a Green Butt Skunk for Chinook? Tight Lines
