Salmon on The Fly....
Lets get back on topic. I fished Salmon on the fly in coastal/valley rivers for many years before concluding that the effort wasn't worth the result. I'd qualify that statement to say that I would fish Salmon in the Trinity/Klamath/Smith Rivers if conditions were better. Sadly, most coastal rivers have few if any Salmon returns any longer.
If you're new to Salmon on the fly and want to be consistently successful, there's a lengthy learning curve involved and involves an investment in time/effort/equipment. With that in mind, I'd recommend getting hold of the latest version of the book titled: Fly Fishing for Pacific Salmon by Fergusn/Johnson/Trotter or most any book by Russ Chatham. Lots of written material on the subject. If you're more advanced, communicate with Tony Buzolich, Ken Hanley, Jay Murakoshi or any other fly fisher who targets Salmon and ask questions. You won't get all the info you need on a public Forum.
