Intruders, Foxy Prawns, and Rock Stars work well for the Kings. All in the 1/0 size.
Glow bugs will also work for the smaller fish.[cool] [signature]

![]() [center][font "Garamond"][#008000][size 4]Hi there JMcM - Kings like bright flashy colors just like the steelheads. If you tie you own flies here are some patterns sure to work. Just click a fly for tying instructions.

I used anything that was ever created or tied by Polly Rosborough. His Babine River Special # 2 was my fav. Once caught a 24" Grayling on it in TikChik Lake one morning with Bob Curtis looking over my shoulder. Polar Shrimp #4 works great too.
We caught a lot of kings on those patterns in the Karluk River (Kodiak Isl) and elsewhere in Alaska.

[font "Arial"][size 2]Using the correct fly rod makes all the difference in the world when it comes to fighting salmon. For these hard-fighting fish, a 7- to 9-weight rod 9' or more in length is ideal. Another essential item when fly fishing for kings is a fly reel with a quality disc-drag system. These fish will take long, powerful runs that spool out plenty of line, so a reel that can handle this type of beating is a necessity[/size][/font]
