    Default Welcome back everyone for a New Season here on the Slam'n Salmon River in Pulaski NY

    We have a few Bass, Brown Trout, Steelhead and Atlantic Salmon in the riverpresently. Mostly Bass.
    Latest Report from Lake Ontario, which is a "possible - lil early" prediction indicator for the Salmon River NY - My Lake Ontario Charter Boat Capt. friendsare telling me plenty of the 2 year old Salmon (20 lb. and below) but the3 year olds (25 to 30 PLUS lb's.) are not as abundant. Time well tell....
    I laughed the other day when 1 Charter Boat Capt. said to a Wade Guide on the Salmon River, that this year, he might not have to chase them as far downor up the river if they are ONLY 20 lb's. (yuk-yuk)
    One Capt. commented that the Salmon fishing on the lake is better than lastyear. After glancing at 6 friends Charter Boat Capt.'s web pages, they allhad a bunch of nice BIG Salmon being held up for the camera. Browns, Coho's,Kings and Steelhead.
    The Capt.'s. are seeing more Salmon entering the Eastern Basin of Lake O.
    It's a start and LOTS more bigguns coming your way!

    I think I hold the World Record for the most consecutive days of thinkingabout fishing the Salmon River.

    Interesting Mail Bag Q's from Drake: (Most Exciting speciesand time to target)
    Hi Randy, I am looking to get into some some salmon/steelhead fishing this fall. I was checking out your website and it looked like something I definitely want to do. I am looking to book a trip for my self and a friend. We are both fairly experienced anglers, however we've never really fished for salmon/steelhead. What time of year would be best to book a trip? Also what type of trip would you recommend? Thanks, Drake

    HI Drake, Super! All you need are chest waders plus fishing license.
    Salmon - Best (personal preference) is last week Sept. and first week Oct. (Crowded)
    Need lodginginfo?
    Steelhead - Best is anywhere from Nov. all Winter into April. There really isn't any best time, jus personal preference. Mid-week is alwaysbest! (not on or around a holiday)

    Randy, Do you think one is more exciting than the other? We both like to cast, and would love to hook into fish with a good fight. They bothlook like awesome fish, just wanted to see if you thought one was morefun. Drake

    Drake, Great Q!
    King Salmon pull steady and HARD! Rod doubled overstuff. They are bigger than the steelhead and sometimes reach over 30lbs..
    But
    For exciting, then Steelhead would be my top choice! They are visually exciting to watch and fight as they tend to rocket 4 feet out of the water, somersault a few times, re-enter earths atmosphere with a BIG splash down with water spraying 20 feet in all directions, maybe do a lil dance - tail walk across the pool for 30-40 feet with the sun reflecting off its silvery sides and zippy, speeding silver bullet runs with water spraying off there backs. In a blink of an eye these Chromers can be up, down, across the pooland hopefully you will still be on your feet and not on your back.
    Pretty exciting stuff! Recommend Early Nov. thru Mid. Dec. for thistype of fight. Winter and Spring they slow down a tad, but are still greatfight's.

    I lauphed pretty hard making the bungee vid! I must have looked pretty stupid standing on the bridge with a rod and reel and lowering a Go Pro off it.
    That's my client with an approx. 40 lb. King Salmon.
    Best,
    Randy
