I'll be fishing Pass Lake near Deception Pass on 1/26. I'd appreciate some help regarding fly selection. Thanks.

I would recommend starting with a search of this forum's archives.

Click on the "Search" heading located near the top of the main forum page. An advanced search for "Pass" in the subject line turned up a bunch of posts.

I was up there last weekend with 2 buddies. One of them did well, catching 2 fish in about 6 hours.

Both were taken on an Olive Willy like pattern: basically a carey special with a red bead head, olive tail, olive chenille and olive pheasant rump hackle. there is a little tuft of red feather fluff on top of the hackle at the top of the fly.

My other buddy and I fished just about everything else and struck out without a take.

We also heard from others that were saying the best time is after dark. One guy claimed a 27" brown near the parking lot one evening right after dark. For that fishery, I hear that it needs to be big and black. Bunny leeches and the like.

big and black?

Maybe I should troll my poodle (I hope she doesn't hear me). Dark gets here at a decent hour this time of year...

Sorry dude, bait fishing is not allowed at Pass Lake.
