There are about two weeks or less left of the good salmon fishing left up here in the Adirondacks. I am trying to earn a couple extra bucks for my family by offering a guiding service. I have found some really nice wilderness lakes that hold nice populations of fish. I just came back from 40 min of fishing during which I landed a 22" salmon as well as loosing another.

Are you out there Matt? I've been trying to reach you via email, but my messages were bounced back to me. I'm just curious if the swap is still on, or have things pretty much fizzled out? FWIW I'm still interested. Anyone else?

I'm getting ready for the annual trip w/ FB up to the Salmon River in a couple weeks, and part of that preparation for me is the traditional tying-more-flies-than-any-ten-humans could use ritual.

As has been reported, repeatedly, elsewhere, Pennsylvania is getting the same torrential thunderstorms seen throughout the east. My arrival into Coburn on

Thursday morning I did a good walk down from the tunnel parking lot to one of my favorite spots. I caught 6 fish in less than an hour. A size 18 bead-head PT was the fly of the day. The water temp was 50 and there were snow flurries as I was catching fish. The air temps were in the high 30's. I had to quit when my fingers and legs became numb.

Hi U All,
There is a time when you need to think about moving on. When you are always catching more fish than anyone else on the stream with your "indicator, split shot nymphs system" you might think about trying some real fly fishing?
If I wanted to cast a bunch of "junk" all day, I would have stayed with spin fishing.

Ok, so I can't complain. I've had a really great season thus far... both thanks to and in spite of the high water I imagine. Throughout May I fished the Lehigh constantly - and with fantastic results. The last several weeks they've been releasing water like mad (that they were holding back to spare downstream villages from being inundated) so I've been forced to explore new streams and visit
