Salmon River Pulaski NY Fishing Guide
Lil steelhead, called a skipper
Dec. Fly Fishing Salmon River Report
Im finding less fish around then the last few weeks. But, we are really just getting back to where the numbers are making more sense and where they normally should be at.
There are 2 reasons why Im finding less fish.
1. These fish have a very difficult time getting out of peoples freezers and making there way back into the river.
2. Natural fish movement.

Today it was hard NOT to find them. We witnessed some incredible fights today and a few left us wanting.
We used the drift boat and John was 5 for 12.
Found them in 4 out of 6 spots.
3 from the first spot.
Nothing from the next 2 spots.
3 from the 4th.
3 from the 5th.
3 more from the 6th spot.
We left fish to find fish and probably could have played with more but the day had to end sometime.

John has been having a problem landing fish over the last few years. So today he was hopeful to actually see what they look like up close and personal. He also was interested in learning some new and exciting water that he could come back too on his own and fish. We succeeded on all fronts. Just about every spot was hold'n. I noticed other anglers and other guides clients also having pretty good luck today. Top to bottom of river.

The Santa hat magically appeared out of my bag, just in time for the first fish picture. This next Steelhead we had to give chase in the boat and barely landed it. Directly below us was a fallen tree and shallow white water rapids. I set the anchor in the middle of the river, jumped out of the boat, gave chase and netted the fish just before it ran into the brush pile. John gave out a howler of satisfaction and excitement.

What a honk'a! Approx. 16 lb'r. Great way to end the day! Congrats!! (All fish released)

I'd like to take a minute and THANK all of you, who are putting some of your catch back. If it were not for some of you, I believe sincerely, that we could not have had such a productive day.
Thanks again!
