Swinging On The Salmon River

Swinging on the Salmon River right now is fire. Leave those heavy sink tips home and fish high in the water column for some incredible grabs. Looking for a guided trip before the season is over?? Checkout Paul's Guide Service for a great day on the river.

Recent Warm Up

Anyone manage to get out over the recent "warm up" over the weekend and do a little swinging?? 

Big Water Swinging

                    Nothing beats swinging from a boat during high water.

Swinging flies from a boat is a great way to fish high water, Why??
You can position yourself to work water effectively. 
Greater line control.
Set yourself up for a great hang down.
Greater casting distance since your standing higher off the water.

Wade Softly, Carry a Big Stick

             In low clear water remember to wade softly and quietly.

Oh Mother Nature

Spey Rod, Check....Sinktip Wallets, Check....Large weighted flies, Check......Plenty of water, Check....Blow off a sick day at work, Check...

It's time to swing it deep, Swing it slow and hold the hell on!!!
