Salmon River Pulaski NY Fishing Guide
Bill C. with a Winter steelhead.
Report: Fished 10/26 w/guide Randy Jones, who as usual helped us figure out what it took to get some hook-ups (no fresh fish / existing fish very spooky) by sticking w/naturals. Ended up (2 anglers) w/around a dozen hook-ups with about half landed, better than anyone else we saw that day. Next day fished w/o Randy but used his tips on patterns and leaders - had a very hot morning w/surprise fresh fish, all on purple wooly buggers. Afternoon slowed considerably but did land a monster brown that was very silver in color - must have been one of those German imports. Wish I were up there right now!! Strongly recommend Randy Jones - excellent guide/nice guy who always teaches me something each trip (BUT I tie better flies than him - ha ha!!).
Your insight to the Salmon River is excellent. Take care and keep up the good work. The area needs more guides like you. You give the area a good name. Thanks and Tightlines.
Once again your importation of Steelhead fishing knowledge was overwhelming and most worthwhile. My learning curve has been greatly accelerated due in large part to your expert guide service. As a testament, I was out the very next day to the same "honey hole" and was a respectable 1 for 3 on Steelhead which included the attached beauty which I hooked and landed all by my lonesome (fish released). If it weren't for the techniques and strategies you taught me from our past outings, I'm sure it would have been another fruitless day. See you again in the fall, Tom
