Salmon River Pulaski NY Fishing Guide
Nice Brown Trout caught with Salmon River Pulaski NY guide
Short Lull in the action:
Most feel this is a negative thing while fishing. It's actually the complete opposite. It's not to hard to know if you have a presence of fish or not. If you feel there are fish present and your having a lull, I look at this completely opposite of many anglers and feel it is very positive. The fish are simply trying to tell you something. They are not OFF the bite, they simply want and need YOU to adjust to this ever changing environment and the fish's ways of life. There could be 20 or so different variables to consider when experiencing a lull. If you can adjust, understand, acknowledge and implement this crucial 1, maybe 2, 3 step process of changing your format to meet the fish's request's you will soon be on your way to "Fish On." (This is providing the basic skills of fishing are being accomplished.)
Maybe the fish are suspended and you are fishing below them. Maybe the fish are on the bottom and you are not reaching them. Maybe you are not running 100% drift. Maybe the fish have been pushed. Maybe they have moved from the hole to the shallows to get out of the current. Maybe the opposite. Maybe its a fly or bait concern. Maybe..............
As you can see their are approx. 20 or so things that can cause the fish to ask you to change and or adjust. Simple! Again, I see this as VERY positive and welcome a short lull. If you have fish around you, then why are you enduring this lull. Learn from it, be flexible, change up, switch things around.
I do this on an almost daily basis. The trick is having a complete and thorough understanding of the fish, your skills, rigging, bait and fly selection, correct presentation for whatever tool you enjoy using, habitat, fish etc... and their many ways.
We experienced a short lull the other day. We made 1 change with one of my guest's and two changes with the other.
1. One was rigging
2. One was color
3. Was presentation
Within 1-2 cast's both of my guest's were hooked up immediately and we did not experience any more lulls for the entire day. Actually, and Im not bragging, they pounded the living daylight's out of these fish, while all other anglers stayed with that lull. We actually got to play with more fish after we listened to the fish then before the lull. So again, a lull is a very positive thing providing you can read it, learn from it and understand what the fish are plainly trying to tell you.
