[font "Calibri"][size 3] I[/size][/font][font "Calibri"][size 3] also think you would have FAR better success with non flygear. [/size][/font]
[font "Calibri"][size 3]However Ive caught loads of salmon on the little river with nothing but achunk of yarn. So I think you could do it. Your biggest problem will be finding a place where you can actually fly fish. Like others mentioned, the little river IS NOT a wading favorable river.Its 100' to maybe 150' wide and during salmon season is generally running in the 3500+ cfs range. I sure wouldn’t wade it.

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3][/size][/font][size 3][font "Calibri"]I think there are a few places below Rapid River confluencethat you could fish from shore with short casts where you wont have 10 guys also fishing. Its going to be water the salmon are moving thru fast rather thanmore popular holding water. But with persistence I think you could hook one.Landing it will be a different ballgame.[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Calibri"][/font][/size]
[font "Calibri"][size 3]You could also try the area at mouth of the Little salmon.You can wade out there a bit and have more room for casting. Actually thinking on it, this would be a goodspot. Its relatively shallow and lots of fish move through it. Get there early before others and claim a spotand you may be set[/size][/font]
[font "Calibri"][size 3][/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Calibri"]Above RR confluence is smaller water and way less people. I wouldn’t go more than maybe 2 miles above RR. The hatchery dumps over 100,000 smolts in the upper little salmon so there are some adults that move up there. [/font][/size]
