Salmon River 9/24

Just got back from the SR last night and decided to make a little report. Well started the morning off at ball park and hooked 2 fish very early on. Got pretty lucky as i only saw a handful of hookups all morning. By 9ish the hookups completely died. Headed over to the staircase and saw a few guys hooking up but the good holes had to many guys to squeeze in. Drove up to compactor pool (2A bridge) and there was no fish there. Decided to call it quits and headed for some lunch. After lunch I went back to the staircase and it was game on!! Hooked into 3 fish in the matter of 10 min. Before I knew it the hole I had to my self was crowded with 20 guys. About 10 hookups and 4 landed. Took one for the table and released the rest. A pretty good day with the little amount of fish in the river. Some people didn't even hook up i just got really lucky this trip. Fishing is still pretty slow. I have a feeling that there should be a major run within a week or two.FISH ONN!!!
Enjoy. The fish in the last pic weighed 28lb!!!!

I hope you were using some of those feathers I gave you! Nice job.

Re: Salmon River 9/24

DAAAAMN! Very nice catches!!

Re: Salmon River 9/24

Nice job! And actually using fly line on a fly rod! (I do the same thing).

I prefer the cold weather and steel, but no doubt the salmon are fun. Looks like you were at the staircase - pretty empty for a Saturday.

Re: Salmon River 9/24
