We all know about famous Salmon Fly hatches and have most likely seen Salmon Flies mating on bushes near the waters edge.  What we don’t realize is that fish really key on mating flies when they fall in the water.  Big fish seem to watch for this phenomenon and explode when they see it happening, thus the Big Bang Coitus fly.  Fish this fly anywhere when Salmon flies are out, but especially under overhanging bushes and trees.
