billb 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2006 John: Sorry, it should have occurred to me that the term might not be used elsewhere. "Black salmon" are Atlantic salmon that have returned to spawn and spent the winter in a river before returning to the salt water, rather than head back to the ocean the previous fall. They are still in the river in the spring before the earliest "bright" spring-run fish arrive from the salt, and have regained their hunger. People often fish for them with large bright-colored flies, a lot of them streamer patterns instead of classic salmon flies. Some folks enjoy fishing for them, while many others claim they do not fight well, and they are sometimes called "slinks." Bill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jon Boy 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2006 thanks all for the comments bill thank you for the information Jens I always perfer to fish irish shrinp patterns however ths backend the water was very high, higher than i ever seen it. So it was very fast. i find shrimps work best in more slower flows hence my choice for a long hairwing pattern another river i fished in the back end was not so high and the best pattern was a bann shrimp just beginning to use artic fox. I used a temple dog style which was sucessful at the end of the season all the best john Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
