[Rob Snowhite]

A few TPFR members went up to the Salmon River of NY last week. We
swing a myriad of patterns and these are the results. Podcast will be
up on itunes within a week.

Nice job!!!.   What percentage of fish would you say were cought swinging vs. nymphing.   Also how was the fishing environment.  Read a post on another forum that a group of anglers were rotating through a pool, waiting their turn in line.  I would have gone to another spot.

Terry,

The fly stretches were very crowded. If we got there by 0430 the good spots were already taken. Anglers were spaced along the river like starlings on a power line. I'm kind of over having to get up in the middle of the night and having to sit in the dark and snow for a spot. I'm sure there were other more productive parts along the river but the spot we fished constantly put fish in the net (or through the net as I had a steelie go through a hole in my net and toss the fly while doing so).  I also like to get away from the pinners and egg sack drifters. Its hard to share a spot with their invisible line going straight through the runs.

We shuffled through our spot most of one day which gave us a chance to fish different sections of a riffle.

Malinda was kind enough to put up our sticker on the inside of her door. A few more stickers were put up around town. The one at the golden arches didn't last more than an hour.

Terry,

Most if not all fish were caught on the swing. I'm not a fan of using an indicator up there. Some chose to highstick or dead drift flies. All techniques worked. The most violent strikes were on swung intruders.

I tied some Intruders the other night, used the recipe from your blog. Looking forward to getting up there soon.
