I'll throw flies in the Sound around inlets and troll them north (Sekiu). I don't think the schools of Silvers are thick enough to bucktail these days in the Sound. For Sekiu, just about any color or pattern will work. Early morning or late evening bring the best results.. Combos of pink/white or chart/white are good bets. However, nearly any combo of colors will bring result.

I like an intermediate line and will usually place a piece of foam in front of the fly to help it skip. I tend to avoid the bucktail and opt for more flashy materials- Krystal Flash, Flash-a-bou. For an over winging material I like Artic Fox.

For the best hook-ups, go with a tube version..
