Salmon River first timer, aka "Virgin", Chuck Hayden from New Stanton, PA with a nice Salmon River Steelhead.  He caught his fish

mid river with his fly rod and float setup on an "XYZ" fly.   His buddy, Mike Petrucci, another Salmon River virgin said that his son, Mike Jr. talked them into coming up and going fishing.  Mike Jr. heard about the Salmon River from another guy who fishes it so word of mouth gets around.  This trip would be Mike Jr.'s second time.  All 3 of them are "hooked" on steelheading and will defintiely come again. 

Chuck's steelhead measured 31 1/2" and weighed 12 3/4 lbs.  He's getting it mounted.

Thanks for the apple pie Chucky Baby...and the hug!  See you on the www!
