Heading over to point no point for a couple of days, can anyone give me some friendly advice on coho and cutt fishing there in late July. I fished there with gear for king salmon as a boy. Is it worth bringing the fly rod? 6wt or 8 wt? Sinking or intermediate line? Casting from the beach? Should I bring our very stable canoe and troll off the beach? Tide? I assume a small flatwing streamer, a clouser or something big and fishy looking would work. Does the boat house still rent boats? Thanks in advance for any info.
I suggest you talk to the guys at Peninsula Outfitters on Poulsbo. They're good guys and will steer you straight.
I fish a 6wt with floating line and my popper. That being said, your 8wt will work just as well as will an intermediate sink line, or shooting heads, or outbounds. # 2-6 Chartreuse Clousers are good as are pink and white clousers. I wouldn't put a canoe out there. It would make too inviting a buzz bomb target if you're close to shore and flotsam to be rammed by the boat jockeys. Leland.
