West Side Rivers (North to South): Sol Duc, Calawah, Bogachiel, Hoh, Clearwater, Queets, Upper Quinault, Lower Quinault, Humptulips, Wynoochee Rivers. Notes on fly colors and sizes that have worked for Grabflies over the years. For off color water conditions - rivers like (Not during lower water conditions) Bogachiel, Hoh, Queets, and after large rains. I like to use Black/Pink, Black/Purple/Pink, Purple/Pink...and larger size flies 3-4 inches. In clearer water, go smaller 2.5 - 3 inches. For Clearer water conditions and also late winter. I like to use Black/Blue, Black/Blue/Chartreuse, Blue... Size 2.5 - 3, Sometimes larger in more turbid water conditions.

AKA: Two Toned Flash Moal Leech, Blue/Chartreuse Moal leeches are tied entirely on a string with a trailer hook at the back. This gives the fly greater action than a fly tied on a rigid hook. More fish are landed with the Moal fly as well. The combination of rabbit fur which has incredible life in the water and flashabou creates an illuminated attraction for fish. A real winner! Two Toned Flash Moal Leech - Flashabou and rabbit wrapped around a string go together. Moal Leeches have great movement in the water. They wiggle and undulate, which moves the flashabou in wave like motion reflecting colorful light waves as the fly swings across the river. Two Toned (color) Flash Moals have two different colors of flashabou tied in. The tail color is tied in after half the fly is wrapped with rabbit. The head flashabou is tied with a length of 2/3's the fly length. This works much better that two colors of flashabou tied in together at the cone.

These new wide-profile cones create a turbo vortex at the front of a tube fly. The turbo cone gives the fly a unique swimming action. The action combined with the soft materials, which pulsate to mimic breathing, produces a fly that drives fish crazy. Whether fishing in the slowest or hardest of currents, the fly will move and pulsate like no other pattern. In addition to the unique movements, the turbo cone also provides a little bit of weight to help get the fly down. Our Turbo Cone Tube Flies are tied on a 1.25-inch tube with a 10mm turbo cone. Comes with Size 2 trailing hook.
