NY Fisherman

The Salmon River has fantastic fishing year around. Fall fishing for trophy salmon, steelhead, and brown trout is a great way to break the old cabin fever. In the spring and summer walleyes, pike and bass fill the void

Salmon River Fishing Guides

  The Salmon River flows from the Tug Hill Plateau and pools into a man-made reservoir. The River gets its start at the Lighthouse Hill Reservoir near Altmar. From here the river has a 12 mile stretch that is open to the public for fishing for Atlantic Salmon, Brown Trout, Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, and Steelhead. The river passes through the middle of Pulaski NY making it the salmon capital of the world. From there it flows into Lake Ontario at Port Ontario.

  Fishing the Salmon River is a experience of a lifetime. The river holds the NY state record for Chinook Salmon. This fish was caught by Kurtis L. Killian on a orange fly from the Salmon River September 07, 1991 this awesome fish weighed an amazing 47 lb. and 13oz. The river is also known to give up many steelhead over 20 pounds each year.

A driftboat is basically a water taxi. It allows us to cover much more water during a day. Which can make a huge difference! You want to spinfish? Flyfish? not a problem. We will even provide top quality rods & reels. If you're the type who likes to feel the water rushing against your waders, just let us know and we will beach the boat at each hole while you wade & cast. We use our driftboat from mid-Sept. to mid-May. There are times however due to low water or concentrated fish, that we go to one area by foot instead of using the boat.
