Reeling in an atlantic salmon on the Farmington River in Connecticut

The FishingChef caught this 19 inch Atlantic Salmon on the Farmington River, at about 4 in the afternoon. The hatch was a dark hendrickson, but his closest fly was a blue dun. The salmon took the fly once, spitting it out and then hit it hard a couple casts later. Of course the Atlantic Salmon is catch and release only on the farmington river, so it was released after it made it to the net.
