Nice story! I'm just curious: Where exactly is Salmon River? I've always wanted to try it but I don't want to drive out there for nothing and not have a good spot. Would you be able to private message me some directions?

Look up salmon river state forest and go there. Top 10 most beautiful places I've ever fished. I fished sun up to sun down on a few occasions there. You can fish miles of it. I notice that it's particularly effected by weather a bit more than some other streams as in the water levels rise fast w rain and dissipate fast during dryspells. I highly recommend checking it out.

Thanks. I really want to give it a try on one of my days off with a buddy of mine. I've never caught Salmon before so it would be pretty exciting.

Let me clarify then. You most likely will not catch a Salmon bigger than a fry. I have seen the carcass of a big salmon (at least I think it was a salmon) but I only catch Salmon fry and trout.

When you say "Fry", what size are you talking as far as inches go? Sorry, I'm still learning fishing lingo haha.
