Decided to go up to the Salmon River in NY for three days. Going to meet my buddy from NJ tomorrow morning at 6:00, at my cabin, and head up to Pulaski. We'll be in the water by 9:00. I'll be swinging big marabou's and classic hairwings on my swich rod. Hopefully there will be awesome pics to put up when I return on Tuesday.
