Your post is a bit confusing but I would not use a sinking line in October on the salmon river unless flows are extremely high for some reason. I don't know what grain the depth charge is but the salmon is not a very deep river and you will be getting snagged constantly. A floating line with some type of sink tip would be much better assuming you are swinging flies If you are chucking and ducking a typical 9 foot leader off a floating line is fine.

So I have plans to do a couple of overnights at Virginia beach (shore fishing) along with a short trip to the salmon River in NY in early October. Thinking I can set my battenkill 4 reel with my depth charge line (Minus some feet list to the rocks of the Potomac) and around 300 yards of backing (advised to handle the salmon running off my line) to cover both situations. However I'm told that since im only wading at the beach, that I don't need the sinking line and should stick with the floating line. Any thoughts?Aaron
