shame on me after living in AK on the kenai penin those 6 yrs I was not really interested in targeting upper kenai bows. I was fishing for silvers. But my last year I decided to pull my head out. and started fishing up by cooper landing.
I also decided to buy me some black/purple maribou muddlers at trustworthy hdware in Soldotna. I also bought olive marabout mm's and white and let me tell ya, every single cast almost. they work just as well as beads and flesh flies.
I caught bows and Dollies all day long on them. grab some, the maribou can also act as a flesh fly sort of but when they see that big head and underbelly they're going for the meal. I used a rio versi tip 9wt. had a blast
