Salmon River Pulaski NY Fishing Guide
Nice holiday Brown Trout from the Salmon River Pulaski NY
Where the land ends LIFE begins
My favorite time of the year:
First off, we have had about a gate of water or more for almost the entire steelhead season, so far. This has and well continue to cause a flow of fresh fish into the river. The reservoir's are looking good with ample water for the upcoming Winter month's.
-
Weather and water wise, things are looking to be shaping up nicely for this Winter. With recent rain, then snow, then rain, then high winds combined with above freezing air temperature. This has produced additional run-off.
With air + water temperatures dropping you will then see them keying in on the slowest, deepest water for the remainder of the Winter. Keep in mind the transitional spots will still produce as long as we have fish on the move. (Presently)
-
Another key is angler pressure. Less anglers = less pressure. With cold temp's, this cuts out a lot of the fair weather anglers. Hunting season also causes a reduction of angler's on the river. One of the main ingredients that effect's angler pressure at this time of year are the holidays.
-
Most folks would think of Jan., Feb. not being very good. But I can tell you, it can and is a couple of great month's to steelhead fish.
All of the above and more are reasons why this is my favorite time of the year.

With the sunrise came hopes for a good day on the river.

I had a first today. My guest's were 100% on hooking up in every spot we fished off the drift boat. We hit fish in all 5 spots today. I also noticed about a dozen fish on the move (In transition, swimming up river) off the boat. Pat and Todd had a combined tally of 4 for 10 today on the Silver Bullet's! Blue egg sacks were the hot ticket today. Ssssssh.
We lost 2 fish today that were BIG Steelhead! One had to be about 20 lb's and the other was a solid 16 lb'r. Both were lost due to my guests poorly tied knots. (he-he)

Todd is all smiles - 3 of the landed steelhead were released to fight another day and hopefully to produce more off spring for all of you to catch.
Only the above BIG Male was released into the cooler. Congrats!

As the sun rose to another day on the water, it made me realize how very lucky I am. To do what I enjoy and share it with all of you.
Thanks,
Randy
