Not too long ago, the boys and I took three days to fish New York's, Salmon River. The trip was exceptional for many reasons, not the least of which was the fishing.
To say we did well might be a bit of an understatement. We caught more fish than the river gods had likely allotted us, but we worked hard to put them in the net. No two fish took the same fly. Some wanted eggs, others took nymphs, and a few slammed the hell out of
half chicken skins, swung through the seams.

| Anybody play guitar? Is that a G chord Ben is plucking on this fish? |

| Even the small fish can spool you in an instant. |
 |
| Hard to say how many fish we hooked in this run ... more than two, less than 100. |
 |
| It's an amazing fishery that provides an environment for fish like this ... clean, strong, fast ... and abundant. |
 |
| Hard not to finish the day with a grin like that ... |
