The next time you fish for chums in the tidewater/estuary - try the smaller patterns - you might be surprised how well they work in that type of water. I learned to flyfish for salmon ~20 years ago with some guys from N.California. Their system, which was and is deadly on tidewater salmon of all species in the Eel, Rogue, etc. includes tiny flies. I have personally been very successful for chum with a small chartreuse pattern tied on a #8 7957BX Mustad, and I have heard of even smaller sizes being very effective.
