## **2. Selecting the Right Quantity**
When purchasing **MONKEY FLY salmon flies**, consider how many you need based on:
– **Frequency of Use:** If you fish often, buying in bulk (6-12 flies per pattern) ensures you鈥檙e always prepared.
– **Hook Durability:** Treble hooks may bend or dull faster, so carrying extras is wise.
– **Color & Size Variations:** Having multiple flies in different shades (e.g., black, orange, pink) allows adaptation to water clarity and light conditions.
**Pro Tip:** A well-stocked fly box should include at least **3-6 flies per hook type** in various sizes (size 4-10 for salmon).

## **3. Matching Flies to Salmon Behavior**
Salmon respond to different fly presentations depending on:
– **Water Temperature:** In colder water, slow-sinking flies with bright colors (e.g., **MONKEY FLY in fluorescent orange**) work best.
– **Current Speed:** Fast water calls for heavier, double or treble hooks to ensure the fly stays in the strike zone.
– **Salmon Species:**
– **Atlantic Salmon:** Prefer classic patterns like the **MONKEY FLY in traditional green/black**.
– **Pacific Salmon (Chinook, Coho):** Often strike aggressively at larger, flashier treble-hook flies.

– **Premium Hooks:** High-carbon steel for strength and corrosion resistance.
