SALT WATER FLY FISHING FOR PACIFIC SALMON

SALT WATER FLY FISHING FOR PACIFIC SALMON
Fishing in the sea (not estuary) for Pacific Salmon!? Yes thats right! What a thrill this is. Stalking the coast line, then spotting something then pull up and run down to target an active shoal of salmon, Boom! Straight into them! Then all goes dead and you persevere pointlessly for another half hour before pinching yourself back into reality. You need to stop and wait for them to appear. Then when they do seem frenzied, cast towards them working your way into the center of the jumping shoal.
