Updated Fishing Reports - Salmon River, Pulaski Ny
May 14, 2012
Walleye fishing on Lake Ontario has been pretty good so far this
season. Good numbers of big walleyes have been coming to the boat
each night. Slow trolling stickaits in shallow water has been working
best. We've been finding walleyes along the shore from Sandy on
to Oswego Harbor. Lake Oneida has been very good for walleye by
day or night. Jigging sonars or slow trolling worms has been getting
it done during the day. At night trolling or casting stickbaits
is the ticket to good walleye fishing.
Brown trout and salmon have been biting well from Mexico Bay to
Oswego Harbor. The trout are in shallow- under 30 feet. The king
salmon have been out in 150-200'. Spoons have been doing the best
for trollers.
We are offer 2 da deals again for June- Book 2 days and the 2nd
day is half off!!!
This is for walleye fishing or salmon/trout charters.

Steelhead fishing on the Salmon River has been good. Water levels
are low -285cfs, and there's been a lot of pressure but we've been
putting together decent trips with steady action. There's plenty
of rain in the forecast and I'd expect a gradual increase in water
levels very soon. A lot of fish are still hanging around in the
hatchery and the upper Salmon River. As these fish drop over the
next few weeks the fishing will remain good!~ We've done some brown
trout charters trolling the shore of lake Ontario and the results
were VERY great.
Walleye season opens up May 5 and dates are booking up quickly.
Between brown trout charters and walleye trips May will be a very
busy month for us. We will be available for Oneida Lake walleye
fishing late May through June and July.

Steelhead fishing on the Salmon River has been decent lately. Water
levels are low 285cfs. This makes for a bumpy ride. Running beads
or egg sacks under floats has been working fine. There's rain in
the forecast for the next few days, with a little help from mother
nature water level will rise on the Salmon River. Brown trout fishing
on the shore of Lake Ontario has been very good. Trollers have been
finding it tough to get out due to strong north west winds but when
they do it's been easy picking. Walleye season is coming up in a
few weeks, get your monster walleye trip booked now.

Steelhead fishing on the Salmon River has been very good the last
week or so. We have been drift boating from top to bottom finding
fish pretty much throughout the river. Lots of fish are dropping
out but there seems to be plenty still spawning. There is even a
few fresh ones coming in. Water levels are dropping to 900cfs. I
would expect the levels to gradually decrease over the next few
weeks. Let's hope for rain to keep the season going thru May. The
Hatchery has collected their eggs. In a few more weeks they will
open the gates to let spawners out to the river. Brown trout fishing
along the shore of Lake Ontario continues to be productive although
the wind has been tough recently. Trollers are fishing stick baits
in very shallow water all along Mexico Bay to the Salmon River.

Steelhead fishing on the Salmon River is picking up steam! The
drop back blitz is starting way early this year. We have been hitting
good number of steelhead using floats with beads and plugging! Yes
plugging! Back trolling hot shot and rapalas thru the gravel where
the steelheads are spawning has been working great. Water levels
are running high 1800cfs- Which is ideal for drift boating the Salmon
River. Brown trout are also biting stick baits and spoons along
shore of Lake Ontario. We still have guides open for the next few
weeks.

Steelhead fishing on the Salmon River has been decent. Pretty much
the same story - beads or egg sacks under floats has been doing
just fine. Today we had a fly fishermen, he hooked into some nice
fish using an indicator with a stonefly. He also hooked several
on beads.
Water levels are at 1200cfs. The river has been crowded. The nice
weather has really brought out the troops. We still have drift boat
guides available throughout April. There's about 6 weeks left to
spring steelhead fishing so let's go!

Steelhead fishing on the Salmon River remains so-so. Most days
have been average at best with 1 or 2 good days a week mixed in.
There are plenty of steelheads in the river but they are not cooperating.
Egg sacks and beads fished under floats has been working best. Stoneflies
bottom bounced or fished behind a indicator are also taking steelheads.
We still have plenty of open dates through spring. Our charter boat
will be going in early this season. We will be in search of spring
brown trout close to the shore of Lake Ontario. Book your spring
or summer Lake Ontario Charter now!

Steelhead fishing on the Salmon River has slowed way down the last
few days. We're still catching a few fish but not even close to
what we were doing over the past few weeks. Today we hit steelheads
that were pre spawn, spawning and post spawn. Egg sacks and beads
under floats are still doing the best. The water is low and clear
so light tippet has been helping. Water levels are low- 500cfs.

Steelhead fishing on the Salmon River remains very good. Good numbers
of steelheads through out the Salmon River.
Water levels on the Salmon River are receding fast- 500cfs. Covering
lots of water has helped us out in production.

Steelhead fishing on the Salmon River has been consistently good.
Water levels have been great 900-1200cfs.
Beads and sacks fished under floats has been producing good action
day in and day out. Steelhead have been biting though out the run.
Most days we have been hitting fish in 8-10 stops and few more along
the way. Lately we've been covering 7-9 miles and stopping in at
least a dozen different areas each day. We have plenty of open dates
through March and April. We specialize in float fishing with center
pins and spinning gear. When you fish with us, all the fishing is
done off the drift boat in front of a big heater. No waders are
needed, dress in your warmest gear.

Steelhead fishing on the Salmon River has been very good for us
lately. Plenty of action to keep everyone quite happy:)
Float fishing beads and egg sacks has been working great. The Salmon
River has been running at higher then normal flows and that certainly
is nice when drifting the river. We have been covering lots of water
which always help production.
