The Fly Shop's Tips: ??There are a fair number of salmon in the 10-20 lb class in the upper section of the river at this time. Good action was reported on Rubber Legs and other Big Stones, Red or Blue Copper Johns, and Poxyback Hare's Ears. This is good fun while it lasts and a 9 or 10 wt rod is a good choice for this type of fishing.
