salmon?

All I have written here has been concerned with brown trout fishing using small imitative flies, it does not apply to other fish and other flies. I don't know of any reliable way to fish upstream for salmon except spinning.  There are places where salmon are regularly caught on dry flies, but it is not  a reliable method in most of Europe.

As fly fishing for salmon and seatrout relies on other criteria in rivers, as they don't normally feed on insects etc, other methods apply and principally downstream methods.
