Salmon River, Pulaski, New York

I know it appears I’m about to pull the trigger on this fish but she was so big I had to get one arm under her or she would have lost a ton of eggs! A mere 28 lbs of serious fly rod action took place this morning. This Chinook Salmon took a chartreuse estaz egg about 8:30 and 15 minutes later, came to hand! I released her none the worse for wear. As you can see, the river was beautiful and I had this stretch mostly to myself! One of the best things about Upstate New York is the fishing.

This was not far from there. Pineville hole!
That's exactly where I fish. There and Sandy creek.
