Whats your go to Sea Run Cutt Fly?

I am going to be opening a SRC line for our company, and wanted to see everyones opinion on what kind of flies they use for them. I am thinking we will run clousers and other streamer patterns, but a buddy of mine fished for them a while back using dry flies with success. Just wondering what your thoughts are.

olive and grey sculpin patters

clouser minnows are probley one of the most popular flies people use for cutties and res coho, others maybe have their personal favorites but clousers are used by a lot of people.

You didn't specify where you were looking at what is used for cutts in the salt or freshwater.

In freshwater my go to fly are Knudsen spiders, spiders, muddlers, reverse spiders, rolled muddlers, spiders, scuplins and spiders. throw in some crane flies and BWO and your set.

For the salt in addition to what has been mentioned candle fish and chum fry streamers can be very handy.

Thanks, that seems like a wider list than clousers.

whoops, sorry didnt see that you had mentioned clousers above.

My go-to sea-run cutthroat pattern for fresh water is Mike Kinney's reverse spider in various colors (usually hot orange body with wood duck hackle). If they can be found feeding on top, IO use blue-winged olives, little yellow stonefly imitations and, of course, October caddis in the season. For saltwater, Miyawaki's beach popper and various baitfish patterns. I, personally, don't care for heavily-weighted flies like Clousers and don't think they are really necessary.

What Preston and Curt said. They are amongst those at the top of the searun cutthroat game (as well as DCSmartie), and you can't do much better than following their advice.
Clousers work..I like olive over white, with a little flash and some red just behind the eyes to simulate gills. I'm leaning away from using these, as they are a beotch to cast compared to unweigted or less weighted patterns. And, I cringe in agony when I hear those dumbell eyes strike my graphite 6 wt.
For estuaries and lower reaches of rivers, and frog water, I prefer an orange-bodied Reversed Spider, with mallard flank (what I use, since I have alot of it) hackle and a tail of red hackle fibers. I vary the hackle shade from (dyed) lemon yellow, wood duck, and natural. I like 'em in size 6, but use #8's as well. Sometimes I use a yellow body (with red tail).
Sometimes black body. I just bought a Lady Amherst Pheasant head for the hackles for the black ones. The hackle fibers don't stick together like mallard flank will.
Hope this helps.

Miyawaki Popper is a great fish locator, and if you do not hook fish on those, switch to clousers. If they go for a popper, they will grab the clouser.

Mike Kinney - haven't heard that name in a while - is he still around? Tied some flies for him 25-30 years ago, big forward-wing skating humpy dry flies for steelhead.

I don't fly fish for them much anymore but back in the day I'd use the reverse spider with a lead-headed line anchored up right on the edge of mission bar. Cast out one side of the boat and strip it in accross the flats with schools of cutties chasing it. Cast out the other side and let it sink down the edge of the shelf pretty deep and strip up a blackmouth. A hot, fresh blackmouth on a 6 weight flyrod is a heck of a battle - good memories.
