This was my first Atlantic Salmon ever, a 23" landlock from a Finger Lakes tributary.  It rose up from the murky water, gulped my bright streamer near the surface, and sank down, almost like the rise form of a trout sipping a tiny bug.  I set the hook and landed the fish after a fight that exceeded my high expectations. From Fall Creek, Ithaca Falls in New York.
