I've fished pink salmon on the fly in the lower snohomish.  I had great luck on a  fatty flashy streamer style fly.  With some red .. worked awesome. Hooe it was some help. Herring or shrimp fly awesome

Here on ECVI I use mostly pink, orange, chartreuse and white. Patterns include clousers, handle bars, coho buggers and other small streamer patterns tied in sizes 4-10.

Which pink thingy?  I'm guessing you are asking about the one above my post as it has a circle hook.  But the one in my post is a size 4 hook.

This is my as of yet untested solution to the ultimate pink salmon fly, a pink bunny leech.  I like to tie it with a bit of lead wrapped around the hook shank to combat the buoyancy of the zonker strip and use weight forward medium sinking line.  It's about 2 inches long.
