Sept 1 ... SALMON RIVER FISHING
In Sept the salmon, KINGS and COHO start to show themselves
in the estuary of the Salmon River. King salmon arrive and are simply in
tackle busting condition
still very fresh from the deep waters of lake Ontario these fish enter the
salmon river estuary and stage until their biological clocks tell them its
time to start the journey up stream to there spawning grounds. We fish this
area with the use of our drift boats. This is an interesting way to fish for
salmon we will fish the Salmon River estuary at night with spinning gear or
trolling plugs, the excitement is fast and furious. Most nights we have to
put some rods away because we just cant keep up with all of them. Remember
these fish are still fresh and silver most of the time. As the fish move further
up the estuary we will start fishing the day light hours. KINGS 12-35lb up
to 40lb COHO 5-20lb up to 30lb.
Sept - October ... SALMON RIVER FISHING
As the fish start to run the Salmon River we will venture up into some of
the famous Salmon River fishing pools and some that are a little less famous
if you catch my drift. These fish are beginning to get aggressive as they start
there spawning rituals. The buck (MALES) will fight for the honor of a hen
(FEMALE) salmon. Again the best way to target these aggressive fish will be
with a drift boat. The salmon river offers many places to put the boat in and
drift down this scenic water way it is not unusual to see many different types
of wildlife. Many times we will have to chase a fish after a hook up, and its
nice to have the TAXI waiting especially after a long day of battling trophy
class fish. During this time the illusive October browns will start to show
up along with the chrome colored steelhead. There are many techniques to fish
the Salmon River from fly-fishing to centerpinning (Canadian style float fishing,)
we do it all. We started offering centerpin fishing in the 2000 season. So
we know what we are doing. This is a great way to target Salmon River steelhead,
monster browns and salmon. We also spin, fly-fish and plug. When you fish with
me I’m not just a guide I’m a teacher. There are no secrets. STEELHEAD 8-20LB up to 25lb Browns 5-15lb up to 20lb
November - April ... SALMON RIVER, OSWEGO RIVER, OAK
This is the time that the steelhead are getting into full swing they are
entering into the salmon river and Oswego rivers in great numbers. They will
hold over in the river threw the winter months, at this time of year most of
the crowds are gone, this gives you an opportunity to fish more water. If you
ask me this is the best time of year to catch a monster steelhead just
before early spring when they start there spawning activities, they will spawn
in
the months of March and April then head back to the lake, these fish are known
as spring drop backs, these fish are all but starving from all the spawning
activity and are very, very aggressive fish. Don’t forget about our SPECIAL
trip to OAK ORCHARD CREEK for monster browns. This fills up
fast so book early.
