Besides the salmon being around and captivating the interest of nearly all fly anglers right now, cutts are out in force asking for respect. Currently one of my favorite methods for tempting them is to grease a baitfish pattern up with Aquel (environmentally safe floatant) and fish it more like a crease fly, just enough surface break to leave a subtle V-wake and they just trounce it. Give it a shot, beaches are nearly vacant right now excet where pinks and coho are found and even some of those are too.
