Last year we did fairly well in the Derby. ( 1st and 3rd, cough, cough)
We ran the same 4 flashers the whole weekend.
One purple haze
One blue
One purple (old)
One white (commercial guy said they used to use white)
What does that mean exactly, I'm not sure, I think it means the colour of the flasher has very little to do with successful chum fishing.
Others more experienced in chum fishing may be able to offer better advice. Blue Orca, Paul, are you out there?????
He's a master in my books.

Still learning!!!!!!!!!!
Just flew in this morning...
Getting caught up on the news and sounds like some fish are coming in finally.
I have used purple haze in a couple different brands.
Also use green plaid alot too depending on the light conditions.
Gear up at either tackle stores in Campbell River or at the Browns Bay Marina. In fact John and Mike at Browns have rigs that they have tied up just for the Chum.

I think any kind of flash as your dummy ones will just about do it.
I've run red ones, green ones, purple and gold ones...
Same too with lures.. I have seen some really weird set-ups the last couple years that I would have not figured would work.
Nogs setup last year as an example was the ticket after the derby but may not work as well this year depending on the run.
Before the derby last year, the Bait Busters in red and glow were working great but only for a couple days, then nothing...
I still like the King Fisher's in purple haze as a go-to flasher, but that being said, it depends on the light conditions..
Nuff said...get out there...and get-r-done....
