Re: Anyone been to the Salmon River lately?
Black stones always work well in the salmon, they are my go to fly. This time of year fish them in smaller size 8-14 as that's what is mostly coming off in the hatches. And before anyone kills me, there are stonefly hatches all the time in the winter there, look in the snow at the stream edge and you can see them crawling around. If you see them you better be fishing a stone because the chrome are sucking them up. I like to fish black stones with a little red, blue or chartreuse in the thorax/throat of the fly size 10. Fish black, don't bother with brown or any other color. Bottom bounce them just like your trout fishing a worm in NJ and be sure to use fluro in 4 or 6 pound for leader and you will get into fish, good luck!
