Hello All! I only fish one river (Salmon River in New York) but I'm still trying to figue out its mysteries! This fish was taken November 20th on a 3" cut-shank and was my best of this season. 31 inches  |

If that photo isn't all the reason any of us need to swing on Skagit with larger style West Coast flies, I don't have a clue what it would take.
The Hardy isn't too shabby either........
I noticed on another board that one writer would need a reason to get out there, I guess they didn't see this photo.

Nice fish, congrats... FT have you been on the Salmon recently? Wondering what snow accumulation in that area is.? Thanks, FF I live right in Pulaski but my winter fishing is limited to only going out on the "nice days" ! My criteria are: air temp has to be at least 40 degrees with light winds  We did have a mild weekend back in January 12 -13th when I caught 2 fish on Saturday and one on Sunday. Attached is photo of small 24" female taken on a 4" cut-shank egg sucking leech. There hasn't been a heavy amount of snowfall this winter so far. I would say there is about 18" on the ground here in town but alot more farther up in the Tug Hill.  |

It's very nice to see such bright fish. I'm watching the weather forecasts right now and see that we should be moderating a bit by the middle of next week. I really like the time when it is still cold at night and just warm enough to raise the water temperature a degree or two during the day.
I'm really hoping for a photo as nice as yours.
