RIO's Cat's Coastal Bugger #6 in Purple - New for 2024!

This is a really cool pattern which can work well for many saltwater (and freshwater) species beyond the fish it was first designed for, the Coho Salmon. Essentially a saltwater woolly bugger, the well-known classic fly, this one brightens up the typically muted color palette for a very appealing morsel.

"Coho, the moody salmon species. Depending on what river system you may be
targetting them and how much angling pressure those fish get, they can either
be super bitey or not at all. Here in BC's Lower Mainland, Coho get quite a bit
of angling pressure, so we've had to play around with more subtle colours and
smaller patterns. Some rivers with a bit more glacial influence, your fly choice
might need a bit of a brighter, more visible colour. This pattern, in it's various
colour combinations, has been a staple in my fly box over the years and is a
proven pattern for enticing those moody Coho. Typically fished on a full floating
line or an intermediate tip with a long leader, stripping this pattern in slow
moving water will definitely turn some heads!"
