Advanced Flasher and Flies 

Great info on speed I can’t believe how many guy start cutting up their leaders instead of adjusting their speed.

Awesome stuff ! Putting this stuff to work! Central Oregon coast

Great video as always Russell

Great content! I will give those new hooks a go!

I still do Longer and shorter fly leaders. Simply because i can adjust action on the flies without changing a speed thats working on a spoon or meat rig too.

Nice info with the flashers and flies! Need to shorten my leaders after watching your video! What color flasher is that in this video? Is it a Salmon Candy Flasher? Thanks!

Thanks Russel! I was aware of Addya hooks and they are also big in the saltwater market. Very glad that you are transitioning to them! Have you ever ran tournament rigs? Snell a stinger#4 hook above the treble. I was missing fish so I rigged some up and had very good success for a couple of weeks but then the traditional setup seemed to do better again after that time frame.

just subscribed. Relative newbie to salmon fishing. If have 6 flasher flies out and run 2 different length leaders between left and right side of the boat will that not tell me what the fish what quicker then bringing all 6 lines in to switch leader lengths that are the same? Do you have a store open to the public as well?

What about a 6in sting doctor how long would you run a leader behind it with a fly?

The rabbit ears you make on the leader loop looks like a girth hitch, if you care to know the terminology haha 🤙 as with all of your videos, great information! Thanks!

Russell- Would you prefer a 24" leader running at a lower speed or a 26" leader at a slightly higher speed? We have a 20ft boat with only an IO, so it can be very hard to get our speed down below 2.2. I've used drift socks to slow us down below base speed of our engaged motor. However, it would be easier for me to get slower action via a slightly longer fly leader. At what point is slower speed more important than lengthening a leader when presenting fly action?

Are you going to be carrying the Addya hooks at the store for sale? They are hard to find. Guys on the eastern end of Lake Ontario have been using these hooks for a while now.

What size flasher do you recommend with the 24 inch Salmon Candy Leader?

I might be crazy but if I need to put a fresh leader on and I have a fish in the box I’ll put the fresh leader in fishes mouth for a time before I put it in the water. OCD

I do not use that loop knot at all I tie a 80LB swivel to the leader and snap that onto the snap at the back of the flasher nothing gets off..... nothing to break.I also do not use treble hooks anymore because of that gap I use big river singles now and will not ever go back my catch to loose ratio is up over 20%... try it sometime..

What size the bead Do you use?

The Ol' switchback right at back of boat, ADDYA works! Save an alewive, kill a salmon!

Going to assume for the rest of the folks watching u mean 24 to end of hook not to nose of fly

How f
