Happy New Year everybody !!!! What a year it was last year.. Low waters, Epic River changing Floods , big steelhead and even bigger Salmon ... Great Salmon runs , and for the third year in arow tons of steelhead from September through May. You name it and we had it...Hope everyone enjoyed the first 2 threads and maybe picked up a few tips and timed a few runs or just laughed a little. I Look forward to hearing everybodies fishing reports or stories or just some BS from the Salmon River and surrounding areas this year.
Please feel free to posts pictures, I think everyone on MFF enjoys looking at pictures of our area. I hope everybody has another great season.. Shane M.

Happy New Year every one!!! See ya in a few weeks Snagger looking forward to the new thread and a new season. ;)
-
ill be up on friday, and well trying to sleep is rough i feel like a little kid before christmas getting to come up and finally fish it. i been thinking of coming up for two years and finally got the groin to plan it this year. im super excited
-
Picked up 7 inches of snow Monday and 6 inches on Tuesday, before that we had bare ground...09 degrees outside up here this morning, probably a little slush on the lower River this morning..
That big Lake Effect snow Squall stayed south again, some parts just south of here have recieved over 30 inches in 2 days, the Tug Hill just keeps getting robbed this year, I hope the weather pattern changes, we could use some snow, it's already January 6th and less than 10 inches on the ground...
-
Got a float trip with SEADUCTION and floatfisher tomorrow... Will post pic's if the fish agree to it!! ;)
-
Happy new year!!!! It was an ecellent year last year... Didnt get much steelhead fishing in last year cuz of my new obsession with the ICE Tryin to get up there a little more b4 spring... Been up twice in the past 2 weeks did nt get much results though... Brought 2 new people to the river and did get one of them 2 land a nice 10lbs. I think he is addicted keeps wanting to go back up. Good luck
-
Fished upper and mid river yesterday with 2 friends that never went up before; slow day for us. Apparently the morning bite upper river was on fire from reliable sources, but we got up there late.
-
Floated from Altmar to Pineville Yesterday.. Landed 7 fish out of 8 for the day.. Not to bad for Jan.. A mix of flys and beads and Sacs. The fish are there it just getting them to commit for the bite. Over all, the fishing is great, you can't slam them all the time. ;D :whistling:

Three Chromers on, two to the shore.... We got some new water to look at the next time Esoxv... NOBODY THERE..Humm.. ;) ;) ;) ;) There is some birght fish up top but turning fast...lol..

Hit a spot mid-river Sat and Sun. Saw a fellow pinner walking out as i walked in (about 11 am Sat). He went blank. The sun started getting hot after about an hour and melted all the slush. Man i was getting hot, had to take my jacket and gloves off. Even ended up with an ice fishermans tan on the face. I ended up hitting a hot chromer on the retrieve. That one found a weak spot in my shot line after a couple minutes (12 lbs test). Was thinking the night before i should change it since it was getting old (go figure). Hit another nice chromer that spit the hook, an hour later. Sunday was a bust. Me and a buddy pounded the same holes from 9 till noon, nada.
-
I don't start until noon...lol.. ;D On Sundays the later the better less people and you can fish more water.

Good Fish Frank!!!!

Thanks Bud!! Tell dad to get ya a centerpin setup from the fishing dealer! ;)

we headed up to the river on friday for the first time the three in our group. started fishin in the barrel hole around 11, i hook and landed a small fish. we moved down river to a spot between the school house wires and the 'wires' i think. i ended up going 3 for 6 in the hole/run, the big fish of the day was close to thirty inches, my one buddy went two for two on 18- 20 inch fish. for the first afternoon we hit is just right, the group going 6 for 9.
on saturday we got out a little before sunrise and couldnt fish where we left the fish the afternoon before, so ended up walking down river to where there was a beaver dam above a a rapid that split around an island, not sure where we were, i hook into one fish and lost it. we moved down river to the hole i believe which is just above ellis cove, could see the corner near the road. we didnt do anything low in the hole, few drift boats did good at the top of the hole. We then headed back up river to our spot we caught fish, there i ende up hooking two and landing one that was a legal fish, my buddy that met us on the river landed a 22 inch brown, this guy was also the one that had his clothes hanging in trees all over the area we were fishing in trying to dry out a bit from taking a bit of a chilly plunge in the river, and my buddy that came up with me landed his first steelhead ever that was about 26 inches.
on sunday was our slowest day, we tried to get to the bridge hole first before anyone else, we didnt there was a spey fisherman there first, but he let us fish with him, one buddy caught a small fish fishing the narrow run the drift boats first float down in, and we then moved down river to the pineville area and didnt hook any steelhead, i hook about a one pound sucker and broke my brand new raven, that was a shot in the foot (gander mt recieved that from me when we got back in town and my new one will be here in a couple weeks). we left pineville and headed back to the hole we found with fish in it, here we only managed to land only one small fish.
monday we only fished for a few hours in the morning before heading home, we fished the hole we caught all the previous fish in, my buddy that caught his first steelhead on saturday was the only one to hook into anything, he lost both fish that looked rather large
all three of us had a blast, we were already talking about our next possible trip up again, might see us in april for some drop back fishing
Thanks again shane we had a blast
ill get the pictures from my buddies phone and camera later

OMG ...... been gone a while ice fishin Oneida lake and there still running 500cfs, what are they doing, trying to drain the redfield res for a February thaw....... We are deep into the winter season with NO snow pack, only got 3 inches today (good water content snow) but not much, 8 inches on my yard, 10 inches maybe in the woods...my buddy said the res. is collapsed down good. Hard to tell with the ice how much, but theres no snow on the Tug Hill to speak of so far, better hope for a white or wet late winter...

Really nice meeting you and your buds Tim...You came up at one of 2 of the hardest times to get steelhead, early winter and the snowmelt period in march.. I think you guys did well for yourselves never fishing here before, it will be all cake from here.. Make a trip in April after the "Drop"..week days if posible, you won't regret it... once again really nice meeting you guys.. Shane M.

I was up there last weekend with a few of my buddies and we had a blasty blast. We got into a ton of fish but landed prolly around 10 between the 3 of us. I wanted to stop in over at A.O.L but i know that Snagger said he was in ice fishing mode so we stayed on the river instead. It was a good time tho. Met some of the local fisherman and its hysterical to have one guy tell you one thing and be slaying fish and the next guy tell you something totally different and be catching just as many fish!

Anyone ever use in-line weights for float fishing?

They work great for deep holes! I usually just use a bead and sliding egg sinker above my swivel.

Yes I wear a hat, but I don't usually take the time to glove up and put on the hat when I dash from the hut to the tipups. :whistling:
If I am fishing outside for any length of time I will put on the hat, gloves and even the coat. (https://www.myfishfinder.com/fishing_forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2F1003%2FDRIFTER_016%2FEmoticons%2Fwink2.gif&hash=22668036bc520726db516d55a1955786)

Wassup SR Fishheads!!!
Nice to see that a few hardy guys are still fishing for the steelhead.
I was planning a mid Jan trip up to check out the river (and stay at Snagger's place too), but I decided to wait a bit for a break in the weather.
It looks like this year's Jan thaw may be deferred to sometime in Feb.
I just hope they have some water left to release by then - as noted previously in this thread by Snagger.
Meanwhile, I'm just chillin (literally) down here in Pennsyltucky, doing some ice fishing and small game hunting. Our rivers and streams are running low, gin clear, and pretty well slushed/iced up - so I have not even tried to fish them.
I did witness a remarkable site today in NEPA that I thought I would share with the MFF crowd:
I pulled up to the light at the end of the I80 exit ramp to get on the NE Ext of turnpike and lo & behold - what was sitting in the lane rigt in front of me...

Now, I'm not a gambler, but I would be willing to bet that there is a PETA coloring book sitting next to the child seat. The coloring book that instructs little lemmings that they should not go fishing, because hooks hurt fish, and Fish Feel Pain !!!
Darn shame it wasn't yesterday, I would have pulled up alongside them and tossed a few frozen bluegills on the hood of their car...

Well the River is down to 285cfs.. Time to ice fish!! I did fish in the blizzard. I didn't catch anything today. I only seen one fish hooked and the Pulaski was locked with Slush..
-
Tough day today for sure...I fished hard for the three that I hooked....only landed 2.
-
Tug Hill finally getting pounded with heavy snow Squalls , first west wind in a long time..

We need the snow up there. Walking in the woods maybe 7 inches of pack.
IceGeek I don't like 285cfs to much either. maybe it was the day, there was a lot of pressure up top. The fish can see us better on the low water. I'll give them a break try some Icefishing with the Crew. Maybe get some walleyes and perch for friday night dinners. First weekend that it hits 35deg, in the river..

Took a ride out to Redfield yesterday to see the snow pack ... at 5pm they had picked up 8 inches new with about 20 total on the ground just North on Rt. 17. That was prior to the Squall setting up shop up there for 4 hours .... I've been driving out there for 17 years, besides a couple mild winters where we recieve alot of lake effect late in the season because we started mild, it's still the least snow I've seen, but were gaining now finally.. When that band came through Altmar last night we got 3 inches in one hour, but it was on the move south.. We recieved 5 inches yesterday, then a quick 3 and woke to another inch...9 inches total ... 35 inches since January 3rd here.
Looks like a high water content snow or ice / rain mixture Tuesday then the Coldest air of the season through next weekend.. Real cold air, River should slush up weds night - next Sunday below Pineville, Pulaski should be unfishable or frozen.
Well below Zero tonight if no lake effect, with highs only in the teens tomorrow.. Real winter is here!!!!

Real winter is here!!!!

You guys don't know real winter. :whistling:
Real winter is when you have to plug in a 1500 watt heater and place it blowing on your propane tank to get it warm enough for the propane to vaporize so you can BBQ a nice sirloin. ;D

I'm just learning about propane freezing, my sportcat heater( never brought one with me til this year) I take with me at Oneida lake has frozen up the last 3 trips. I use it at first light, then try to turn it on later in the day if my hands are cold from touching fish, and it's locked up... a real bummer, but I'm learning... :D
Got big machines parked at the Altmar bridge, looks like there going to flatten that bridge abutment hole, now that's a bummer, been a good producer since the flood... :-\
-
....snagger, the eastside of the bridge? whats this all about?
-
Thanks!!! I worked my butt off off at tryouts!!
That's what it's all about Jr, Working your butt off will pay you back in the long hall. Keep us posted on how your doing.

Snagger, Went three for three yesterday Icing a 21 inch LLS. Will post a pic for you guy's if I can hook up with brian.

Drifter those guy's live for winter. I"ve seen snagger's face so red it looked like he had a severe case of diaper rash.

As far as I know they are just going to dig out the ramp a little to allow people to get their boats down through since the side by the ramp changed so much after the flood....I don't thing they are going to do anything with the other side as far as I know....

Where did the State come up with all this money? They fixed and re fixed those 2 lots this Fall and now there going to play in the gravel with an escavator and a dozer. :P I keep reading that they are dangerously close to loosing state funding at the hatchery level, but they have money for theses projects.. I don't care really, just seems odd!!!
When I drove by and seen the machines , I thought it was the county making sure the bridge was safe for motorists like when they leveled it flat in 94 after a big water event.
-
Honestly...I don't know where the money is coming from. Sometime when you have aminute I will tell you a few other things...too much to type, but they are along these same lines....

....must be the guides complained about the launch....

I been called worse.
God is steelhead fishing easier to stay warm than ice fishin!!!! Hit the River for a couple hours now that Oneida Lake is choked with too much snow to walk out.. Fishin was SLOW!! Saw 9 anglers and me and my buddy made 11, 2 fish hooked in 2 hours that I saw , actually crossed two spots on safe ice, wish it was deeper ... I would have drilled a hole and ice fished.. I tryed jigs and beads and got a zero, oh well, was nice just wetting a line again, haven't fished the River since mid December. Found 5 fresh dead steelies in 2 runs I fished, 1 was still breething, people shouldn't take pic's in these temps unless they plan on harvesting them.. tight lines...

Hey Snagger, about you're Sport Cat freezing. Grab a bunch of those cheapie hand warmers and masking tape one to the tank.
It's just enough heat to keep the tank warm.

Actually it freezes after I turn it off. I try to conserve propane when I don't need to warm my hands to save money, adding those things, I might as well let it run. Thanks though Nightfisher, I've come up with a plan, I'm bringing a slightly larger cooler for my lunch and beer, big enough to put my propane sportcat in too!! I hate giving oil companies any extra money, I'd rather give my money to a waitress as tip, before giving them an extra nickle...

Wow was today crowded in Altmar, easy 40 cars at the lot by the bridge!!!!
-
Shane,
It'a Jake.
How do you look for the weekend of 2/25-2/27? Bill and I are thinking of shooting up to do some steelhead fishing, i think we got the steelhead flu!
can you send an email to
[email protected]
Thanks Shane! we also want to talk to Mark to "hire" him to guide us.

Lower river was all slushed up bad . I think I'm fishing closer to home for a while..

Jerry and I were looking for the video of Gabe any idea where to look? Thanks

I fished yesterrday on the SR until 1:30. It was slush up to Pineville area still when I left. My truck was one of the many in Altmar. Many anglers and not many fish from what I saw anyways. I didn't touch a fish there. I headed to Oswego and managed to land 2 rainbows. One around 5lbs and one only a couple of lbs.The fish hit on live bait......

Snagger.. Know that you guy's talk quite a bit about Scrapple so wanted to share a recipe with you..It is for Venison Scrapple and it turned out FANTASTIC!! and is easy to make also...Give it a try..bet you won't have it any other way!!
Just got done making Deer Scrapple...
Recipe...
1 lb. ground deer
1 lb. sausage
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. sage
1/2 tsp. cayenne
2 c. water
2 c. cornmeal
2 c. milk
In a large skillet heat sausage over low heat breaking it apart with spoon or spatula. Add ground deer and seasonings. Stir. Break up ground deer and sausage until meat is in small pieces, do not fry meat! Add water. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until sausage and deer are done. Stir in milk.
Over medium heat, add cornmeal slowly, stirring constantly. Bring just to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer 25 to 30 minutes or until thick. Pour into greased loaf pan, chill until firm. Slice into 1/4 or 1/2 inch slices. Dredge in cornmeal. Fry over medium heat in bacon grease or cooking oil until lightly browned on both sides.

We picked up another 5-6 inches of fluffy lake effect today...
Just got done looking at the Michigan radars, Lake effect is exploding along and behind the first real Arctic front of the year, I'm excited. Tomorrow there could be lightning and thunder as the Arctic front rolls through. Hopefully we'll get a west wind behind the front for a good 6-7 hours before it goes northwest later. The potential for extreme snowfall rates is high tomorrow and tomorrow night where ever this snow squall sets up as extra moisture will be added from Lake Huron. The temperature differences with height are extreme, the atmosphere is really going to be unstable for the next couple of days... I hope we don't get cheated again for like the 10th time this year with northwest winds pushing the Lake effect south and breaking it up into weaker bands..!! I hope we get 3 feet , because we need it for spring!!

If they are letting school out early on a Friday here... SOMETHING BADS COMING !! I hope it goes North to you Snagger... I'm sick of snow here !!
I got caught on Tug Hill in thunder and lightning with blinding snow. Wind was blowing the snow by so hard you couldn't tell if your truck was moving or not when it was stopped. Then the lightning would light up the snow purple/white... it was SICK !! Like going Warp speed !! BEAM ME UP !! :w00t: :w00t:

Only picked up 2.5 inches from the coastal storm last night but the arctic front is coming through right now, looks like the Lake effect will be heading south, hopefully we grab a little, got an inch in the last 15 minutes...

Nope.. They cut a channel above the bridge to let some water flow on the drift boat launch. The currents have changed near the "Turn" a little but once in goes back above 285cfs, it will be fine.
-
Still snowing down here this morning. We picked up over a foot since yesterday morning. Really too bad if you guys got missed up there by this one too...we sure dont need it down here.

We got 2.5 from the coastal storm, then another 3 yesterday and 3.5 last night, so about 9" new since Thursday... but on a good note, that Squall was briefly strong and lined up around Richland / Orwell for a couple three hours yesterday, heard it dumped a foot on Redfield before it headed south, so we grabbed a little from it, we are slowly building a snow pack...
-
With the OZ being as high as it is I might be spending a little more time up at the SR this spring for drop back season. Lets hope some of this heavier stuff starts setting up a little farther north.

You guys can keep this stuff Drifter, just walked up to the bridge. Steam a 100 feet in the air, and a rare slush flow at the Altmar bridge , don't see that very often on the Salmon River, lower end probably locked up from shore too shore. Shelf ice on the bridge pool too, that's pretty rare this high up in the River. 20.7 below zero right now. Hey DJ you should come up and take photo's in the morning of the rhime frost on all the trees...
-
He Dr.icegeek, we found the temp that empties the parking lots on the Salmon River, not as much rhime frost as normal, theres some wind out there keeping it from frosting all the trees.

According to Al "It's Global Warming - I Invented the Interwebs" Gore,
you are a slacker if your home is set at 66deg.
Your indoor thermostat should be set at 62 deg if you really want to save the planet !!!
Kindly drop your T-stat, put on another sweater, then go fill up your vehicle with Govt-sponsored ethanol so that your vehicle's fuel lines can freeze overnight !!! ;D

10% Ethanol was not enough to screw up older cars..
Now the Feds are bumping it to 20% to make sure they screw up Average Joe's everywhere.
get this - one of my trucks has a flex-fuel engine that is setup to run on ethanol. (Chevy S10 4banger)
I was getting routine maintenance done on it a year ago and told the mechanic to change the oil, lube and also change the fuel filter since the odometer hit 50,000.
I picked up the truck and he told me he did not change the fuel filter.
I asked why..
He replied - the flex-fuel filter for my truck was priced at $100 - vs $24 for a regular fuel filter.
He told me the truck is running fine and there was no need to flush money down the toilet.
I am not sure if the price on the filters have dropped since then, but I only have 60,000 miles on the vehicle and will wait until I can buy a fuel filter without feeling like I got raped by the GREEN WHACKOS...
With the exception of SOLAR PANELS, this whole GREEN MOVEMENT is complete and utter BS !!!
-
A clogged fuel filter will cause premature failure of your fuel pump. Without Government rebates(other peoples money) you couldn't afford any of these solar panels or personal windmills. Even electric cars. it's a Scam...
-
I helped too. I walked to work today. (Because my truck wouldn't start).

The book calls for filter change at 50,000 miles. It's on my list to do - gotta check the prices. - if they came down.
I never let my gas tank go below 1/4 - NEVER.
Running gas tanks empty is the #1 reason for in-tank fuel pump failure - the fuel lubricates and cools the pump.
I never let the truck sit too long to let the gas get stale - especially with the ethanol crap in it - that absorbs water better than sponge.
Look at the nightmares ethanol has created for the boating community- especially in high humidity places like Florida..

I'm not so sure that ethanol is here to stay....lets hope

I'm an environmentalist, but not a wacko, a realist with environmental views ...... manadatory ethanol is good for farmers but it aint the answer. Brazil is 100% oil independant but they have an industry with 40 years evovled around cane ethenal, we don't... Using corn is going to ruin everything including driving food prices through the roof, anyone seen the price of corn on the commodities market lately?

I'm an environmentalist, but not a wacko, a realist with environmental views ...... manadatory ethanol is good for farmers but it aint the answer. Brazil is 100% oil independant but they have an industry with 40 years evovled around cane ethenal, we don't... Using corn is going to ruin everything including driving food prices through the roof, anyone seen the price of corn on the commodities market lately?
Yeah the price of corn is crazy. The farmer's are getting $6.75 per bushel.
We have native willows and poplars that require no added nutrients and would be more suitable. It takes lot's of nitrogen to grow corn. Lot's of Diesel to run the trucks to get the fertilizer to grow the corn to the farm. Then it takes lot's of diesel to run the farm machinery to plant, fertilize and harvest the corn. I hope they come up with an alternative.

Hey SNAGGER, i don't know how you guys do it up there with all the snow. We've been getting hit hard this year, this is just a little bit of what Jeremy and I had to do today. By the time we got the house in Weston shoveled out, and the cabin in Woodbury, we only had time for one real job. I wish i could dump all the snow up your way.

Shoveling is just part of your routine up here, like mowing the grass usually an hour a day...your just not used to it... not nearly as much snow up here this year...lake effect season is going to be winding down soon , we are running out of time...we'll see what happens next week in the next series of cold snap's coming.. great pick's Bunker!!!! Not much going on up here, some steelies and a few small browns being hooked up river, pretty locked up still down town as of yesterday afternoon. Been milder the last 2 days, but by no means a thaw.

That's what the issue is here as well. theres not much that's melting here. We've had years in the past with more snow,but never a snow pack like this most of the time it melts between the storms.People around here don't know the importance of shoveling there roof with this much snow.This morning driving to the shop the news was talking about all the roof fell in yesterday.I'm really going to miss Jeremy next year when he goes off to college! he's a shoveling machine! I'm definitely going to put a room up over the flat roof area of my house this summer, I got a permit to do it back in November, But I'm glad I didn't start it yet.At least in Woodbury I don't have to worry about the snow on the root that much its framed with 6"x8" beams.

Yea this has been a year for the snow in CT. First time ever had to use the snowblower to make paths for the dog. She still jumps in the deep stuff. She is a good size lab, but the snow is taller then her. We have to have all over 30"+on the ground. The deer around our area are hurting bad, can't get to the food. Eatting out of bird feeders, plus eatting all the shrubs. Guy next door is going nut's. Two years ago he put in 15 nice shrubs, there all but gone in the last few nights.

Fished Altmar and in town the last two days and all i can say is its slow, the lower water is defiantly affecting the fishing. I would love to see 500 again, maby this spring? However people were still out in good numbers although i thought more people would be in Altmar with the Derby going on today but it wasn't more crowded than a typical Saturday. Did see a few fish hooked but not many. Hear are a few pix from the wekend.

Few more photos. Fishing jigs pretty heavily the last couple of weeks when the weather is reasonable enough to legitamize going out for a few fish. Was up at the river last wednesday, got there early enough to get into the upper schoolhouse. No driftboats and only one other guy at the tailout... landed a nice buck within the first 20 mins of fishing then a few people showed up and kind of killed my seam. Moved down to the wires and lost one and that was it for the day. Moved down to the sportsmans later on in the day and didnt hit anything...wondering if we should have stayed up top. Saw a ton of dead fish in the river atleast a dozen just in the wires and schoolhouse alone. That cold weather must have really put a hurting on them.

When i first started fishing the Sandy's the north was my home i loved it, new most of the key runs back in the early 00, but the last few years we haven't seen good numbers of kings or steel head, not like it use to be any way so i have been fishing the south.
-
Certainly nothing wrong with south, I just love to explore new ground. Walked down to the middle bridge last nov for the first time, man there's some nice run's down through there .
-
That is a good run Wayne, just below the Woodville bridge was one of my favorite spots at the north, if we hit it just rite this spring well take a run up and see what we can do ;)
-
Sound's like a plan ..
-
A good warm flow over 1000 for a day or two then hit it on the drop the day it becomes fishable again that's how you do it!! ;)

Don't say that to load .. :w00t:

Can't wait for late March and April..I'm sure some of you ice guys out there could deal with this weather year round but I personally am starting to get a little sick of the snow. Usually happens around this time every year...probably a bad time to start getting cabin fever with this big storm we're supposed to be getting tonight. But atleast I can get my fly boxes stocked up with some new flies that will just sit there patiently until the water warms.

Right now theres a low snowpack with a heavy ice pack on the big Sandies, that equals....you waste all your snowmelt to blow the ice out kind of spring , unless we have a gradual thaw in March or a big rain and save some of the snowpack for later...... Pray for more snow..sleet, rain .....anything to put in the snowpack up top!!!!! This storm coming looks like a great start!!!!!!

I found what I think is one of your jigs up in one of the shallow seams on the west side of the OZ...I was there again last wed. day after the knee Dr....How did you do on the other side? I saw you left a little before dark..
I to am sick of the snow..I work in it every day, I'm tired of wearing my bibs everyday!
-
The big storm expected for the area got too wound up and a dry slot punched through the middle of it, we only got 4 inches of snow in 4 hours, and now it's already over, a little sleet too. Add yesterday's 2 inches and we got 6 inches total for 2 days.....cheated again
Heres January's snowfalls, as of January 2nd we had bare ground from a warm snap.. The Tug hill region which drains the Salmon River Melted down to 6-10 inches around January 2nd as well.
Jan.3rd 7 inches of lake effect

jan 12th 3 inches of general snow
jan 13th 5 inches of lake fluff
jan 15th 4inches of wind blown general snow
jan 16th 3 inches lake effect, then 2 inches of lake fluff

jan 25th 1 inch of general snow
jan 26th 1 inch of lake fluff
jan 28th 2 inches of lake effect

Could be...I've lost a few this season. There must be a ton of tackle in the tailout below the islands. If the water ever drops enough its going to be easy pickings. I've been fishing the east side heavier than the west....the west side for me slowed way down, especially since the water dropped to the 4-5000 mark. I wish that little back eddy that you were fishing in the fall didnt get iced over...that spot was on fire. Still picking up a few on the edge of the ice but nothing like what it was before the ice moved in.
We picked up a couple inches of snow last night. I was fully prepared for doing some serious shoveling this morning but it would seem that we got passed over.It's funny the weather forecast was calling for a terrrible blizzard and we didnt get squat, but when they say we're going to get 2-5 inches we get a foot and a half.

Another good Oswego pic, take you date stamp off when you take a nice seen shot ;)

That Big O picture makes me want to take a trip up.
As soon as the the temps rise a bit I am there.
I just might even bypass the SR entirely - with it's low flows and darkhorse steelies.
It's been way too long since I fished with my centrepin outfit - I need a fix - a BIG O fix !!!
-
Sure does look Sweet !! I'm going to hit it up too !! Is the upper spillway running water ?

It's semi-wadeable. 4,000 is more like what 7-8000 cfs used to be. There is still water in the diversion channel...but it's only a foot or two deep and not really holding any fish.
Went up to the SR yesterday morning for a couple of hours. On the way out I had a Mahoney try and sell me some flies in the parking lot...older guy said his son Pat owned some kind of tackle shop up there.
Arent these the guys that should be in jail? If they are what the XXXX are they doing driving around parking lots trying to hustle some flies through their truck windows????

Well since February first we have turned the corner on getting precip in the Tug Hill snow pack, on the first we recieved 2 inches of dense snow, then picked up another 4-5 inches of wet snow and sleet on the 2nd... now we had wet snow which has turned to heavy rain and snow mixed, I'm sure it's snow up in elevation... Quite a bit of water has been added to the Tug hill snowpack in the last 6 days... Great news for the spring, if we can avoid a february thaw... latest radar, even some thunderstorms near by..

That Radar looks nice !! I'm definitely in one of them orange bands. In minutes it went from rain to golf ball size snowflakes that would splat on your head . 8 to10 inches in the last 45 minutes. Heavy wet SNOW !! It can go north anytime now Thank You !!
This can't be good for the ice man??

Are you serious about 8-10 inches? , we got 1-2 inches of slop...that's it.,...., pure water, almost broke my shovel handle, water pouring out of every scoop..

Looking at My deck rail (actually a bench). I'd say about 8" it was the hardest snowfall I've seen yet this year.

Snow is falling straight down .. And I mean straight down !!

We went to the grocery store tonight- about 2 miles away. Flurries when we went out. Came back after about an hour and there was so much snow in the driveway we couldn't pull the car in without snowblowing. Driveway was almost bare when we left.
-
You guys just south of here this year have been getting hammered!!! Snowed til 4am got another 2-3 inches on top of the slop, Bet the Tug got a solid foot at least, that was one tight intense storm yesterday, more water in that little storm then most of January combined..
Hook up numbers have dramatically increased in the last 3 days compared to a few weeks ago, had a couple guys do double digits yesterday, haven't seen that since December...
People need to leave the camera's at home til it warm's up, more fresh dead steelhead in the River now than I've ever seen!!!!

I'm Tired of Snow !! Going to have to push the banks back with the loader. No place to plow it !!
Nice!! the steels getting settled in to winter!!Hopfully it's not short lived..Not expending much energy in this low water.

Yep Esox...I hear ya..easy 6 inches in an hour at my place....could not believe how hard it was snowing and how big those flakes were...almost looked like an avalanche outside with the snow coming down!!!!

Several years ago I left Pa on Thanksgiving night and headed up to Pulaski area - after carefully reviewing the weather forecast and radar screens it looked like clear sailing.
Up along I81 I was enjoying some Pink Floyd music and dreaming about the fishy prospects awaiting me in the SR.
I passed through Syracuse under star-lit skies.
As I crossed over Oneida I was hit by the WALL - not Pink Floyd's Wall, but the Lake O Lake Effect Snow Wall.
I'll spare gory details, but I had vertigo as I drove 50mph with near zero visibility - praying to God that I did not lose sight of the rear lights of a tractor trailer in front of me.
When I finally,miraculously exited at Pulaski, I sat in the parking lot of the C&M Diner and offered a prayer to the Big Guy upstairs - after I de-clenched my white-knuckled hands from the steering wheel.
I made a cell call home, and thought my troubles were over – I was off the killing fields of I81 and a two lane road led to Altmar.
It took me 35 minutes to travel that stretch!!!
There was close to 24 inches of new snow – thankfully it was light fluffy powder.
Next morning at the Trestle Hole – I started fishing at 9am. It started to snow again. It stopped snowing at 10:45 am – after dumping an additional 16inches of fluff in 1 hr 45 minutes..
No BS – I have never experienced such heavy nowfall b4 in my life – could not even see the end of my fishing rod.
I have never been so terrified as I was the night b4 while driving on I81 through the Parish area. Not being to able to see at 50mph, not knowing which way is up at 50mph, and knowing better than to stop and get killed by the next tractor trailer zooming by was like a bad horror movie.
Needless to say – I am extremely leary of night-time drives during the Lake Effect season. I usually sacrifice fishing time and drive during daylight hours only when I make a trip. The snow squalls are too unpredictable for me to trust the weather forecasts.
But then again – I did not have the luxury of reading Snagger’s detailed weather proscrastinations back then.. ;D

Hey Drake one time back in "93" it took me almost one hour to get to the Parish exit from Pulaski, said the hell with it and went into the Gristmill diner for a break. Well the squall followed me and parked itself on top of me all night in Parish , 81 got shut down.. The cars looked like lumps, actually one car caught fire at the pumps, Fire department coudn't get there as all the roads were closed, even rt.11 , so the owner picked it up with his pay loader and dumped it in a snow bank while it was on fire, pretty exciting night.. It was snowing so hard and the wind, I came to a complete stop many times on 81, followed a tractor trailer off the road a couple times , had to get out and dig ourselves out .... thunder and lightning many times that night sitting in the gristmill diner , this was back when snowstorms were just storms , not a record breaking storm everytime it snows like now ..... we ended up with waist deep snow, which is 36 inches on the level after compaction , nowa days that would be 100 inches or something stupid from measuring hourly to break old records and assure monies for snow plowing budgets.... ;D...,
Great memories!!!!!!! :D

Was that the big March snow storm that melted all at once and flooded everyone on Oneida lake, Cross lake..and many more ? That was in 93 ..if I remember right?? that storm was something!!Snow was over the handle on my sliding glass door !!

Thanks for that link, I'll have to read more about that forum, was I right with that map that they were predicting 24+ inches on the tug by Friday? We got 8 inches on the level since last night, tied for the biggest one time dump this winter here in Altmar. Can't believe we are this far into winter without a one day snowfall bigger than that.
You know what CnR, with the mid and low level winds finally strong this time, and predicted to be out of the west .... it should carry the snow farther inland than the past weeker lake snows we been getting all winter that have been burying lake shore comunities just southeast and places like Palermo , Hannibal , Red Creek , Sterling ect...
That guy said 30 inches on the Tug, that's very light considering theres been no thaws since January 2nd. Man we have really added some serious moisture to that snow pack in the last 8 days... everything is getting right back on track, finally had to shovel my roofs off, usually do that atleast once a winter, 2-3 times is not uncommon up here..
Funny I was thinking the same thing that guy said, snowing like 3/4 inch an hour all day with big winds and no lake snow warning issued, they were posting warnings like candy for the last 2 months, half the time it never snowed...

Really cool stuff again Steelie24 ...never read a discusion about lake effect like this before, they really have a handle on what's going on in the micro setting.. Dave Eichorn used to get into discusions like this, made his channel nine forecast interesting..
Cool how they know the little details...
LAKE INSTABILITY PEAKS EARLY THIS EVENING WITH
CAPE AROUND 450J/KG AND EQUILIBRIUM LEVELS AROUND 10K FEET. THIS
SHOULD ALLOW FOR A NICE BAND TO DEVELOP FROM NEAR SODUS BAY TO NEAR
CATO AND EXTREME SOUTHERN OSWEGO COUNTY EARLY THIS EVENING. SNOWFALL
RATES MAY REACH 1-2 INCHES PER HOUR BRIEFLY.
THROUGH THE EVENING...THE BACKING WINDS WILL CARRY THIS BAND NORTH
ACROSS OSWEGO COUNTY. THE TRANSITORY NATURE OF THE BAND WILL PREVENT
ACCUMULATIONS FROM GETTING OUT OF CONTROL AT ANY GIVEN LOCATION...
WITH 4-6 INCHES IN PERSISTENT BANDS EXPECTED. BY LATE EVENING LAKE
INDUCED INSTABILITY QUICKLY DETERIORATES WITH EQUILIBRIUM LEVELS
FALLING TO BELOW 4K FEET BY MIDNIGHT. ADVISORIES STILL LOOK GOOD FOR
WAYNE/N CAYUGA/OSWEGO COUNTIES. EXPECT A RAPID WEAKENING OF THE BAND
AS IT LIFTS NORTH ACROSS THE TUG HILL REGION DURING THE LATE
EVENING. MAY SEE UP TO 3-4 INCHES ON THE WESTERN TUG HILL DUE TO
UPSLOPE...BUT IN GENERAL EXPECT ONLY AN INCH OR TWO ACROSS THE REST
OF LEWIS AND JEFFERSON COUNTY SO NO HEADLINES ARE NECESSARY FOR
THOSE COUNTIES.
ON WEDNESDAY MORNING WHATEVER IS LEFT OF THE LAKE EFFECT WILL BE
FOUND ACROSS MUCH OF JEFFERSON AND LEWIS COUNTIES. LAKE INSTABILITY
FURTHER WEAKENS WITH EQUILIBRIUM LEVELS DOWN BELOW 3K FEET. MAY SEE
LAKE EFFECT END ALTOGETHER FOR A FEW HOURS DURING THE LATE MORNING
AND EARLY AFTERNOON. WILL CARRY LIKELY POPS EARLY...THEN DROP TO
CHANCE WITH ANY ACCUMS AN INCH OR LESS THROUGH MID AFTERNOON.
BY LATE AFTERNOON THE ARCTIC FRONT WILL APPROACH...AND COLD AIR WILL
DEEPEN ONCE AGAIN WITH LAKE INDUCED EQUILIBRIUM LEVELS RISING ABOVE
6K FEET AFTER 21Z. THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR A RESURGENCE OF LAKE EFFECT
DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON...AIDED BY INCREASING MOISTURE AND LOW
LEVEL CONVERGENCE FROM THE APPROACHING ARCTIC FRONT. THE LAKE EFFECT
SNOW WATCH WILL START AT 21Z WED FOR THIS.
THIS EVENT WILL GET UNDERWAY IN EARNEST LATE WEDNESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY EVENING AS A DEEP WESTERLY FLOW OF -18/20C H85 AIR
WILL CROSS OVER LAKE ONTARIO. A LOW SHEARED ENVIRONMENT CONTAINING A
3K FT THICK DENDRITIC SNOW GROWTH REGION AND A CAP OF ABOUT 10K FT
SHOULD ALLOW FOR AN IMPRESSIVE PLUME OF LAKE SNOW TO TAKE AIM ON THE
TUG HILL REGION. SINCE NEAR SFC TEMPS WILL BE IN THE VCNTY OF -7 TO
-10C (TEENS F)...SNOW TO WATER RATIOS SHOULD BE AROUND 25/30:1. THE
RESULTING LOW DENSITY SNOW WILL RAPIDLY ACCUMULATE...WITH AMOUNTS
WEDNESDAY NIGHT LIKELY REACHING A FOOT OR MORE ACROSS PARTS OF THE
TUG.
AN EVENT WITH THIS MUCH INSTABILITY...FETCH AND LACK OF SHEAR WOULD
NORMALLY HAVE A PRETTY GOOD CHANCE OF PRODUCING SOME LIGHTNING BUT
GIVEN THE DEGREE OF LOW LEVEL COLD AIR...IT MAY BE TOO COLD FOR
SIGNIFICANT GRAUPEL PRODUCTION. WHILE THUNDER CAN NEVER BE
COMPLETELY RULED OUT...WILL REFRAIN FROM MENTIONING ANY THUNDER WITH
THIS EVENT AT THIS TIME.
THE LAKE SNOWS EAST OF LK ONTARIO WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY
THURSDAY...ALTHOUGH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY
WILL BACK THE STEERING FLOW DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS
WILL LIFT THE MAIN SNOW BAND NORTH OF THE TUG HILL...BUT ADDITIONAL

here is what Buffalo NWS is thinking for next week...read the bottom part on the "LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/"...a good description of what is going on...well if you understand what they're saying...bottom line "warming"...

Looks like after Saturday all daytime temps will be above freezing in the mid 30's here.. :thumbup_smilie: :thumbup_smilie:

That makes a mess, I hate this part of late winter, we need a good thaw then a nice re freeze for ice fishin if were going to be on the ice til mid late March... A nice seasonal sunny streak would be better than what we probably got coming.. Not much sun this winter..

Have a good Birthday on the 11Th "OLD MAN" :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:

Sounds like the snow is staying up towards the river today.
Baldwinsville is sunny with a blue sky.
Blizzard of '93- I was living in Auburn that year. The roads were shut down for two days and snowmobiles and fourwheelers were the only thing out.

The Doppler shows the band is even further North than predicted...it appears to be above Watertown towards the 1,000 Isles...
Jason the "Blizzard" of '93 weren't you like 5 years old...Geez a dusting of snow to a 5 year old looks like a mountain!

We've had a lot of snow over here in Vermont. last weekend come the thunder snow. All the younger people I know were freaking out on the good old facebook, they've never experienced it in thier lives. Pulaski introduced me to thundersnow a couple years ago.
-
No thunder or lightning but it's snowing like hell out.... just measured 1 1/4 inches in 15 minutes..... Tug Hill has been getting lambasted for a good 4- 5 hours now, the squall was stalled just north of Altmar around Pulaski / Richland / Orwell for 3 hours ... bet they got a quick foot... now it has sagged down over Altmar ..
at 330am measured 4 inches in 50 minutes
at 430am 12 inches in 3 hours total so far

1 1/2 inches per 15 mins haha, that it outrageous. I thought an couple inches per hour was a pretty good dumping.

Not a flake in the air in Phoenix/ Baldwinsville this morning.

Baldwinsville is sunny with a blue sky.
Blizzard of '93- I was living in Auburn that year. The roads were shut down for two days and snowmobiles and fourwheelers were the only thing out.
I was in my freshman year of college at Alfred State, during the blizzard of '93. Roads were closed and classes were cancelled for two days. I saw people jumping out second story dorm windows into snow drifts. What a party those two days were...till we ran out of beer (the stores were all closed).

Send some this way Snag!!!!
We only have about 4 or 5 inches on the ground this winter.
Makes it hard to get around when you're bouncing your sled off granite boulders. :'(
We should have about 4 times that amount by Christmas. We don't get much in the way of snow after that as the seasonal weather patterns change. By this time of year it is mostly sunshine and mile high skies until the fall.

D#*n, you 2 pic posters above me had the slam but we've haven't seen much grass since just after Christmas here in NJ. One of the worst snow cold winters I can remember. Usually a big snowfall melts within 2 weeks but not this year. It's still knee deep in most places. Will this stuff melt by April 1st around here? .....is pretty much how everyone's been feeling. Even I'm ready for open water. Almost 8 weeks of ice fishing along with a very cold Dec. & Jan. and now Feb. is shaping up the same without as much precipitation. I'm done on the hardwater this year as of March 1st. I've got the boat engine and some other things to tend to in preparation of the open water and it's warmer in my basement!! :P :P

So I guess the question is Jim did you get the boats & cars out before it fell? Been the year for roofs falling in here in CT this year. First time I ever had to shovel. I did not like the fast ride back down to the ground! Bob

about 2 feet on my field... ground was very warm going into winter.... much more in those twiggy , weedy areas that it collects on..like near the power lines .... that's probably waist deep in spots and around the hemlocks that don't get sun. By thursday it should compact down quite a bit Kc...

Hey Shane, How is the river looking for steelie action? Looking to get up there next week on my week off!!

I'll let you know in a few days, getting knocked off the ice for a good 5-6 days til the refreeze , I'm going to go scouting around...Being that it's mid Feb now and the sun angle is getting stronger it should start picking up like it always does compared to the doldrums of January.. Hope this thaw doesn't allow any cold runoff to get into the system, it shouldn't...Snow compacted a ton today with the 48 degree temps.., good shot of rain got put into it too... take care Jr. :D

Any reports from this stretch of good weather we are having? I had planned on coming up today or tomorrow, but was called back to work Tuesday. Maybe I can hit the next run of good weather. Maybe the snow banks will be a little lower also.

Had guys out today, it was OK , nothing too special ...the usual hook ups .. in the usual spots.. It was VERY crowded in Altmar, about 70 cars , trucks and trailers at the bridge....took a ride to Pulaski and watched some guys fish the town pool, nothing while I was there. All the shelf ice left today, River was ice free, could be a decent bite down there for a couple days if it don't get too crowded, snow has settled back to knee deep now from the warm weather and today's rain...[color]

Where i was fishing yesterday was on fire..Had a very good day going 8 for 11 in about 6 hours..They all fell in love with a #16 Pink Copper John.. and a couple of them were excellent fish!! Saw a few in the high teens and one that may have pushed 20!! Seems to be some very nice fish coming up right now..

Great job man!!!! ..... LFZ?
Seen a pile of hooks there for the last 2 weeks, decent amount of chrome visible from the bridge mixed in with the darkhorses, had some guys out this morning, they did well for themselves all over the River, no one fished Altmar.... still no out of control hook ups like the LFZ, but reasonable...
53 degrees right now with some sunshine , snow compacted about a foot and a half in 2 days here.....
-
Snagger how's it going up there so far. Looks like it's still kind of slow. I got a new guy that wants to come up with us in the spring and learn our ways. He lives just south of saracuse. Let me know when its gonna warm up and melt this snow so I can come spend a few days fishing and taking lambatsems money in a few card games. With the new baby and everything I really really need to get away for a few days so I hope it starts soon.
-
Snagger.. wasn't the LFZ.. did ok in the run where old Pineville Bridge was and another place further down..I was going to head back over that way again today but decided there is probably a ton of guys there with the weather as nice as it is.. Will wait till a day next week to come over again...
-
Hey SNAGGER, we finally got out and did some clamming for soft shell clams. All in the area that u like to fish down here

Hey Snagger whats up I guess you dont talk to jersey boys anymore.
You missed the derby this year Dave , this thread will get rolling in a couple weeks once the ice is done, same old winter stuff as 10 years ago when you used to steelhead fish in the winter... Flood changed things a bunch, 285cfs is kind of a drag now as it bunches all the guys in the same key spots every day. It aint like the old days, the key spots up river are much tighter now and don't hold as many people and boats as they used to... going to be great once the Rivers back to 750cfs or so....soon!!!!!!! take care bro!!! 8)

Fished Altmar the last two days and the fishing has been good, the morning and evening hours seem to be the key times to be on the water. We picked up 4" of fresh snow today along with 25 to 30 mph winds, blowing and drifting snow keep most anglers in the cabin, tomarrow should be better conditions. All day Friday we enjoyed warm temps and bright sun, got a few pictures for you :w00t:

Nice pics ! :thumbup_smilie:

We had a good time !! One of them days we did more driving and walking than fishing.. The slush was locked in pretty tight down low and had no desire to fish with all the people in the recycle zone up top. Checked out a ton of water ..BS'd with some peeps... laughed at some nuckleheads and enjoyed the sunshine. Even whiskerd up a fish or two... Can't beat that.

Those Feb Mudshark Cohos are neet to see.

ellis cove was loaded with ho's last week when i was up alot of dying moldy ho's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
-
I don't talk much Frank because I don't want too burn anyones spots during winter, once it warms up and we can move around more and not fish for the same steelhead that have been here since November, I'll be talking a bunch more... Alot of my guests are feeling the pinch of a poor economy and not making multiple trips, so it wouldn't be in their best interests for me to spot burn there spots... Spring is coming though, then look out!!!!
that deer is still there, it was at the staircase in November!!!
-
There is a gentleman who walks his dog below the staircase. Often in the winter last year I would see the same deer follow the man and dog. No Joke. Same deer?

:rotflol: :rotflol: Thats funny Jay... We stopped and talked to a guy walking a white dog... He said the deer really likes his dog and it usually walks with them.. Same Deer.. it's been around for a few years.. that pic was close to the staircase.

sorry i couldnt make it . we will all be talking alot in the near furture. got to get through this crap.the smiles tell me what i missed.

So how does this work that there's Kohogs in the river, in february ?
Snag? anyone?
???
-
for as long as i can remember ive seen late runs of ho's in the river.i can remember one year walking a frozen trib there were ho's under ice in jan was amazing to see!!!! I guess its just a late gene swimming around
-
Also the coho's are really resilient, if all the females die during the spawn .... the left over males just mill around all winter, unlike the kings that quickly just die off, I'm no biologist, just seen them mill over til March many years...

Very true.. Every salmon..including Kings.. I've seen this winter.. were male.
Saw three floaters and 2 dead steelies around Pineville Sunday afternoon. :cursing: :cursing:

I here a shane. Not talking out loud myself on where the fish are being caught.. ;D But you know where I am at.. Yes that Doe was just off James st..

It's the most dead steelhead I've EVER seen this winter, and I haven't been out much, bet we lost 40% too catch and release this winter. Don't want to hear anyone crying when I start roping them in a few weeks. I have friends who love eating them, and haven't killed many over the years, but this years C&R kill has got me nerved up, they'll be going to good use when I 'm done ice fishin...

Is that deer still prowling the neighborhood?
Couple of years ago it walked right up to me when I was walking down to the river's edge.
I was about to light up a smoke, so I broke off the filter, held it out, and Bambi came closer, took a good sniff, and chewed up that blunt faster than a redneck Pennsyltuckian can dig into a can of Skoal... ;D

SCG - That is a very pretty steelbow you caught there.
SWEEET !!!!

I was grumpy this morning Frank, I won't kill many, if any .. but it really is something how many we have lost this winter to improper picture takers , it seems every fish has to be documented these days , if it's your first, or a nice one or you keep them in the water til the last second...... fine , but if you land 17, do you need to take 17 photo's to prove your a great steelheader?..... single digit temps, might as well rope up all 17..just sayin...
We went from a 3 to 1 fish limit a few years back, what's the sense if there all just going to go belly up...........

The C&R Photog's have the same misguided mentality as the Greenie Whackos that think they are saving Al Gore's planet when they plug in their Prius then think the Electricity Fairy will bypass the coal-fired power plant and instead magically charge their car batteries with zero emissions.

thats funny well said man

Well this is a little off topic but..
Just had my fishing vest stolen out of my car monday night-tuesday morning. Whoever did it picked a heck of a time to put me out on my a$$ as far as fishing gear goes. A couple days until march and I'm sitting here with nothing to go out fishing with. I guess a lot of houses have been getting hit around here..but you never really think they'll get you. I know fishing gear is replaceable and all but man, did I have a ton of stuff in that vest. I had three full boxes of flies...one of which was filled with all of my spey flies.
what a world we live in eh?

people are breaking in houses in minetto i live just across the river wow dont like to hear that

Taking all the photos you want is fine... You just need to do it right. Generally... Net guy has the camera out ..after fish is netted .. angler unhooks it..... holds for photo and returns fish to the water. Should take 15 seconds to photo tops. Most fish will jet right away.... some you need to spend a little time with to get them going again. In my opinion once a fish flips over upside down in the current... IT WILL NOT RECOVER ON IT'S OWN. I have grabbed at least 10 different floaters and worked them for 5 minutes or so to get them swimming upright. usually they will lay in front of you for a while and swim off on their own. You can't just throw them back in the water like a torpedo after rolling them on the bank for 15 minutes.
I also think people play them way to long. When we pulled into the parking lot a guy had a fish on.. We BS'd with a guy in the launch for a while.. went back to the truck got set up... Guy still had the fish on... Bs'd with a dude up there... when we walked by heading to our spot... it was just getting to the net... a little later we find a floater in a log jam below us... as a matter of fact there was 3 floaters in that area and a dead one on bottom.
Same Stuff drives me nuts with ice fisherman catching big pike through the ice. Guy's saying..." you got to release every one "..... And in the picture... he's got his hand in the gill with the mouthspreader still in the fishes mouth... and blood running out of the other gill... Gimme a break man and think about what your doing !! Shove it down the hole and GOOD BYE..........

Coal powered hybrid's !! Hybrids are a status thing..
-
That's what we do when we take pics of fish...The guy with the fish leaves the fish in the water, while the other guy gets the camera ready. Then we lift the fish quick snap a pic and right back in the water they go. We make take 2 pics if the fish is really colored up but thats it.
-
My opinion is that only take pics of fish that are worth taking pics of!! And if you don't take pics release the fish back into the water!!Just my .02 cents!!

I am with ya all the way Snagger... I guess low cold water really put a a hurting on them... You know my stance on limits. It's up to the fisherman to keep or kill.. I say keep them if they are not coming back.. I am sure you can find somebody who'll take them. I took a floater last sunday dark male meat wasn't to bad.. Just one out of three we seen.. The forth was dead and bloated... I guess the LFZ is full of fish and fly lifters.. I think, from the info I am getting they are floating down on a daily bases from the LFZ.. I'll say it...Don't fight your fish to death!! WE KNOW THIS, Some don't get it..

On top of improper picture taking and overplaying fish...I also think a proper recovery/release is important....especially in the middle of winter....From my boat I put each fish on a boga which is attached to a rope and hang the fish off the side of the boat...the fish will orient itself upstream (as my boat is at anchor) and may stay on the boga for a few minutes....sometime even longer...(the rope is long enough that they often hang out under the boat)....every couple of minutes I check them and you can tell when they are ready to swim off on their own....too many people just release them without reviving them figuring its best just to get them right back in....I don't have a problem with people keeping fish, but like snagger said....if you catch 15 a day and either overplay it, hold it out of the water too long for a pic, or don't revive it properly...any one of those things is likely to spell doom for the fish....or at least up the odds that it won't make it...so whether it's a 1 fish limit or a 3 fish limit, if you practice improper catch and release you are doing more harm than the guy who keeps one here or there....

I think the Lower Fly Zone should use the same rules for releasing fish as they do in the Pacific Northwest. If you are going to release a fish, you cannot take it completely out of the water, you must keep part of its head in the water at all times. No boga grips. If you take it out of the water, you MUST keep it.

Sounds like a great idea. When I was up to the river a couple weeks ago I was watching a few guys in the LFZ rip into fish. I watched them for maybe a half-hour and they probably hooked 8-10 fish and not a ONE was hooked legally. Most of them were being dragged in sideways or by the tail...I say, and I know a lot of people wont like this but, make an indicator mandatory in the LFZ. It will keep presentations more vertical which will result in less foul hooking. Anyone can put on a sink tip line...or a few split shot and drag the bottom for fish (its called salmon season).

They do way to many drugs on the West Coast. :rotflol: :rotflol: What if the fish jumps... do you half to bonk it on the head ?? Why take a chance that in may live and kill it . Anyone care to apply this logic to another situation ??

Yea man... I got that.. I can't even watch what goes on up there.. I've been considering taking a week and composing a video of what goes on there. That crap needs to stop.

Seems as though, even, the fine art of FLYFISHING has gone bad!!!! Too bad really........ Good points ErnyeJSES!!--KP 8)

i personally fished the lfz a couple weeks ago with an indicator and outfished everybody and the fish were all fair.... imagine that, it can be done. i saw a few fish hooked up but all fouled.

If the survival rates of the LFZ Steelhead were top priority, then the 2lb test tippets and #22 midges (the main underlying reasons for overplayed fish by the flea-flickers) should be outlawed
And replaced with vertical –presenters – like highly-skilled Centerpinners..
I hereby nominate SNAGGER to manage the conversion project. Please, please, please YOUTUBE it.. ;D
Hehe – a little froth for the LFZ water frothers to ponder.

seein all the guys pinning reminded a i have a center pin rod that I would not getting rid of. if you know any body that needs one ...... have them PM
its a stanton reel and a st croix rod 13' wild river.

Interesting thoughts on the regulations and such on the Salmon River.
I honestly believe that it is impossible to make all regulations just and fair to all anglers up there. The fly zone is an interesting spot when it comes to regulations. I enjoy indicator fishing in the fly zone. I see indy fisherman rip fish Indy fishing too. They integrate split shot with an indicator a couple feet above the last shot and bam, you have fish on. There's a loop hole for everything I guess right.
The fly guys don't like centerpinners because theyplay the fish from having too much line out. The centerpinners don't like the fly guys or bottom bouncers because the fly guys are spooking the water from getting too close and the bottom bouncers are lining fish.
AHHHH! I'm putting my Islander on my TFO 9 weight and shotting it with #2 lead.
I use a big hoop net to land fish. I have recieved multipal negative comments about that from the same people that use tailing gloves and let the fish roll and bounce all over the shore for half a minute berfore they can grab it. My fish don't have to come out of the water unless I want to photo it.
Tight lines to all.
There will be an article in Sundays Syracuse paper about fishing the SR.

YOUR BIG HOOP NET IS POLITICALLY INCORRECT
The “In Crowd” uses “The Glove” ,
So did Michael Jackson,
I certainly hope the LFZ Glovers ain’t disturbing the smolts…
:D

First the net, then the glove for the pic. Some you dudes are much too willing to prove don't care about the resource, or show that you are better because you are "Real Men".. As in "Real men don't wear gloves" or release fish in condition to live another day. If a steelhead survives to reproduce another generation, then we have a chance when the hatchery looses its funding. Not "IF". "WHEN".

The LFZ is a touchy subject. There has been many a discussion about all the floaters coming down out of there.. and how the fish are being C&R'd to death.

And for the record.. Fishingjason whipped my BASS fishing yesterday !!
-
this is starting to sound like a thread from SC blah blah blah !!!!!!!!! if you want to be heard go to the state of lakes meeting march 2 in oswego ! the lfz needs to be changed but in what ways i do not no what the answer is yet, but those fish need a break.

I just burned the net.

As always, it was fun fishing with you yesterday esox.

First off, this website would have to cut the lower 20 rungs from it's ladder to reach to the depths of rattelesnake underbelly inhabitated by SC and it's founder - and taking money from members for a hat order and not delivering or even replying to their repeated requests for refunds for months. Funny how a guy that claims to be a technology communication guru can't respond when he's got other's people's money stuffed in his pocket... He could have at least aired his BS excuse of a knee surgery via his SCTV network.... Can you say L O W L I F E ?
If guys want to fish the LFZ that is their choice.
I have stood on the Rte 52 bridge looking upstream at the mayhem, and cannot for the life of me, understand why anyone would want to endure the shoulder to shoulder combat fishing. Different stokes for different folks. But if anyone thinks it is sporting to catch the same fish over & over , they are delusional;
-
p.s.
I tried asking a couple of Steelhead their opinions about being continously caught and released in the LFZ.
But they did not answer me,
they were too busy gulping their last breath of life as they floated belly-up under the bridge... ;D
-
Calls for change in rules & regs MUST be handled with extreme care. Be careful what you wish for. While I agree the LFZ is ripped to death on busy weekends. Often the beast you know & have is better then the one you'll get.
Lets face it, lining fish today only takes more skill. Before the new regs, anyone could grab a 7' broomstick with 30lb & a weighted treble & rip all day. It's just much harder to do with a 9-15' noodle, light line, & smaller hooks, requiring much more skill.
Everyone has "snagged" fish, once you've drifted the run, or past the fish, you didn't see the 1 or 2 trailing far behind, or sitting much farther back in the tailout than you'd expect, while thinking you're just casting, Bam fish on in the tail.
Most of the problems are the "mentality" of some, how do you regulate or legislate that?
Already the very motions required to drift a run on the fly may require you to lift or pull back a bit to avoid a known snag, then when the drift is done, casting is another "lift" (even though just casting) arguably the same technique required to flyfish could get you a violation for lifting if you were using a spinning combo.
The debate will always rage on, fly guys sight fish too much and can snag easier than pinners, pinners take up too much room & have too much line out causing overplay on most fish, bottom bouncing with a longer rod only gives you an even better arc through the water to potentionally snag, spinning guys are whatever.
Indy's won't help prevent anything, depending on shot placement, a moderate pullback, indy sinks, still have the arc through the water, it'll just be another reg those who wish to line will adapt too.
What exactly is "Purist" river fishing anymore? Some states outlaw ALL trout & salmon fishing in tribs & rivers since the only reason 99.9% of those fish are there is spawning, or running to & from. I remember watching Salmon runs in the fall in NH where I grew up, they're all out of season, no fishing.
Natural habitat is the lakes, one could potentionally argue we're all interfering with that, & every method has it's potential problems.
Just tread carefully with calls for change, what we get, may be worse.

I think we can divide this discussion into two groups: those that care about the issue and those that don't. The ones that care are concerned about how they approach landing and releasing fish. Those that don't don't care. It's that simple or is it?
What if an angler takes all the precautions discussed that should insure that a fish survives but the fish still dies. Should he/she be viewed as someone who doesn't know what they are doing?? Or could it be that the fish was injured already, has some kind of condition, was in a weakened state before being caught, etc, etc, etc....
IMO it's really not my business what another angler does, but I do understand, sympathize and get angry when others show a callous attitude toward the resources and other anglers. Do I like the way some people drive their cars either?? No, some are rude and inconsiderate, put others in harms way by the way they drive, drive under the influence, drive under the speed limit, throw trash out their window, etc.... It's a part of every area of our life; people do wrong things.
So my point here is be careful that you don't fall into the category of over reacting. We often allow ourselves to get worked up over many things we cannot possibly control. Let the powers that be do their job and in certain circumstances we may say something. But when you do know that honey gets more than vinegar but likely will guarantee sarcasm and a disrespectful attitude when you do. You know what happens next and that can't be good either. I don't take any crap from others but I do try to treat them, at least initially, the way I want to be treated. Respect first, in your face second. This is just my 2 cents.

Everyone has "snagged" fish, once you've drifted the run, or past the fish, you didn't see the 1 or 2 trailing far behind, or sitting much farther back in the tailout than you'd expect, while thinking you're just casting, Bam fish on in the tail.
Most of the problems are the "mentality" of some, how do you regulate or legislate that?
Already the very motions required to drift a run on the fly may require you to lift or pull back a bit to avoid a known snag, then when the drift is done, casting is another "lift" (even though just casting) arguably the same technique required to flyfish could get you a violation for lifting if you were using a spinning combo.
The debate will always rage on, fly guys sight fish too much and can snag easier than pinners, pinners take up too much room & have too much line out causing overplay on most fish, bottom bouncing with a longer rod only gives you an even better arc through the water to potentionally snag, spinning guys are whatever.
Indy's won't help prevent anything, depending on shot placement, a moderate pullback, indy sinks, still have the arc through the water, it'll just be another reg those who wish to line will adapt too.
What exactly is "Purist" river fishing anymore? Some states outlaw ALL trout & salmon fishing in tribs & rivers since the only reason 99.9% of those fish are there is spawning, or running to & from. I remember watching Salmon runs in the fall in NH where I grew up, they're all out of season, no fishing.
Natural habitat is the lakes, one could potentionally argue we're all interfering with that, & every method has it's potential problems.
Just tread carefully with calls for change, what we get, may be worse.
Good points!!

You make very valid points and I agree 100% with every one of them.
However, these rules do not apply to the LFZ because the fish are stacked like bowling pins and are sitting ducks with nowhere to go, and get bombarded from every conceivable direction, over & over & over.
I don’t mean to continue blasting the LFZ, but the hypocricy of the place reminds me of the BS that goes on in Washington DC everyday. From the so-called purist fishermen that choose to chase their quarry in a fishbowl, to the DEC that manages it.
Someone previously mentioned going to the State of Lakes meeting. I would really like to hear an honest answer from the DEC if someone attended the meeting and asked them why they allow hordes of anglers to bombard the LFZ on 09-15 each year when the fish are bundled like cord wood enjoying the thermal refuge of the Cemetary Hole and other spring seeps up there..
Can you say “SHOW ME THE MONEY”???
That answer, if provided in a straight forward manner, would not bother me a bit. It is what it is..
But please don’t insult my intelligence by allowing/promoting the early season “Killing Fields of the LFZ” and on the other hand promulgate numerous other BS rules & regs on the rest of that river.
As the ole General in the Outlaw Josey Wales flick said “Don’t pizz down my back and tell me it’s rainin”.

Theirs going to be a mortality rate in the cold months with CNR. A lot of the fish i've seen caught were held out of the water for minutes for pics. Who doesn't like hero shots...but either hone your camera skills or hold the fish in the water till the camera is ready. The other day i saw this guy hold a fish out of the water for at least three minutes while his buddy took about ten pics from every angle. And guess what...that fish floated down the river (past my feet) belly up. I take a few pics here and there, usually when the conditions are mild.
-
Wow!! this turned into Pressure cooker!!! I don't "fly fish" for steelies, I pin now. I like the pesation of the bait much better.. I did try the fly thing way back when that Zone was opened up. I couldn't wrap it around my head when you needed split shot on your leader ??? So I used sink tip line. Traditional fly gear right?
All the guys I fish with or know who do fish the LFZ are smart and know how to let fish go. From what I am seeing they are a rear Breed, but good fishermen and sportsman...
-
We all know it doesn't matter your preference for rods n reels. Their are poor sportsman with pin, spinning and fly rods. Line/snag all the fish you want. Just don't hold the fish by the gills or out of the water for longer than 15 seconds. If you do...put it on a rope, cuz it won't make it back to the lake.

Made my first trip of the year to the river on Sunday and was not disappointed. Was there for 4 hrs and hooked up twice and landed one, an 8 pounder. Also had a chance to watch a young lad land 3 steelies and a brown trout next to us. All the fish we saw fell to the little pink worm. It was great to be fishing some open water for a change. It did take me a while to figure out the drift, never fished 285 before, a little low for my experience level.

Guy across the river from us nailed 2 in 15 minutes on pink worms on Sunday also.. And as unluck would have it.. My pink Worms were in my pack basket at home. Multiple sources say... 500 is coming tonight!! WooHoo!! :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:

Can't wait for the weekend and my 6 inch pink worms!! esoxv will be going swiming if I catch a fish!! that's the bet!!! ;D ;D ;D
-
The ole pink worm...i fished yesterday morning and went 0-0. I tried sacs, beads, jigs, flies and forgot about the pw. :'( Shame on me! And i had some really cool floating 6 inchers from the west coast in my bag.
-
Anybody care to share the best way to rig the pw? I just hook it wacky style...but i honestly have never had much luck or faith in the pw.

more great water management by brookfield....probably could have/should have run it at 500 for the last week....if you look at historical data, they usually start ramping the water up in prep for spring runoff a couple weeks ago...seems like now all they do is react. I don't care...I like bigger water, but still....would be nice to have some water in May...
-
Six Inch Pink Worms will Rule the River this Weekend!!
-
I got these orange-ish/pink colored ones that are un-rippable. You can reef on these and they bounce right back to their original shape. I got them a few years ago free when i ordered some jigs.
-
Hey Gents, question for you all. I'm heading up to SR tomorrow AM and I'm trying to hook into some steelies. This is my second time fishing for them. I know this push of water is bringing some fresh chrome in and I want to hook into some. I know of a couple good spots in Altmar, but that's it. So here's the question. Do you think the fresh batch of steelies will make it that far upstream by now or will they be more downstream? Any info is much appreciated. If you are out fishing tomorrow and you see a guy with a blue Honda civic, come say hello. Fish on!
-
The lower river has been far less molested than the recycle zone . Lots of places to fish below 2a. Fish the staircase area and work your way up. The only way to learn a new spot is to fish it. You can always head up to your comfort zone if the lower river doesn't work out.

Does seem kind of odd, but we did have no thaws since january 1st, 2 full months, I ice fish and that was very unusual, it reminded me of 03/04 january-feb. ....look those records up and see how they ran the water that winter , it would be a good comparison.
Hey slazenger28, probably be a little slush in Pulaski early , but with higher flows could be managable , we'll see ....... probably the last slushy morning of the season.. I'd hit up top first then go down low, 2 good pools right in town. The Fish down River do seem brighter, but it's by no means a big run , the fish just finally warmed up and started feeding again , they'll inch there way up the River the next few weeks unless we get a good push of water..
There was a very good bite today all over, the guys here did really well today... heard about some double digit hook ups in a couple places..good luck guys.[color]

HOLY MACKEREL !! the high is only going to be 19 today. Here I thought slush was a thing of the past. ;D ;D

8 below zero this morning, there was probably some slush, there won't be any inter river fish movement with these temps..[/c]
-
GREAT morning bite turned into a mediocre afternoon bite, some places died all together.. Hope we don't get too much rain Saturday night and Sunday morning, would hate to see us cheated out of our early March bonanza from an infusion of cold snowmelt..
For the last 2 days ...sac's have been beating the bead mid upper River under floats... Stones on bottom and of course the Pink worm have been decent too.
-
Very Very Very Nice Report Snagger!!! :thumbup_smilie: Now we got some water to play with I can try different spots.. I got the day off so I'll be up this Morning. How's the fishing pressure up High?
-
Early forecasted rain totals for area looks to be about 1.4" through Sunday night, this along with the 1-3" in the snow pack may cause some pretty good run off...discussions were talking about a good melt off when dewpoints go about 32 which they are forecasted to do from Sat mid morning to late Sunday (up to 41 dewpoints)....anyway just an early look...
-
...any word on the baloney brothers?

Glad to see that you had a goodtime!! Almost crappie time!! Also nice to have that floater come back to fight another day or to eat next fall!! ;D I saved one of two that came by.. If your going to C&R, spend some time with your fish and keep them in the water as long as you can, then a quick picture and right back in the drink.. Hooked fish every place we fished!!

Hey Bunker, Glen's been here since Wednesday, he's having a blast.. Been fishing floats, he said it's his best Salmon River trip in 15 years of coming here... Not the hook ups you guys did 3 years ago at the other spot, but his best Salmon River trip ever.. He's all smiles!!! He brought his ice gear, but can't leave the river. ;D It was a banner last 3 days, a little lull yesterday afternoon, but that went away with today's fresh water, it was silly in spots when I got back from ice fishin even at 4pm...

The res. was down good last I knew, plus the Tug has a reasonable snowpack to absorb some of that run off... Hope they don't raise it over 1800cfs, but I haven't been up there, so I'm just guessing as to what the conditions are this time around.

I looked at the guage this morning and thought the same thing....my guess is the res. is down more than a couple feet from the top this time around ;) Gonna be some water around for a while now....

been watching that since yesterday !! What was your rainfall total up there?? We got very little down here.. just a light rain off and on.
-
Well the front & colder temps moving in much faster than predicted, should help save water levels. Another 1" plus 40's today really coulda caused problems. Cold the next couple should calm things down just enough before the end of week runoff starts again.
I've got a couple more ice trips to fit in so don't want em all gone up before next weekend. I need some steel ;D
Snag, yup Glen was raving about his trip this time, met him yest. nice guy. He did get out on the ice for a bit, but only after poppin a few more from your neck of the woods in the morning. I can't seem to go that long without meeting someone from your way. Snaggers boys seem to be everywhere.

hi Rick,
i have the Konic 3.5 which is probably the one you're looking to get. i've had mine for 3 years now and i think it's a great reel. have had absolutely no problems with it after catching at least a hundred or so Steelhead and some Salmon. i don't think you can go wrong with one. -Paul
-
Hey Esox I had no buckets out for rain water, so don't know how much we got. From the way it was ponding on the ground , I'd say a solid inch and a half.. No suprizes with the updates, so hopefully we'll keep it at 1250cfs for a bit longer, rain in the forcast Thursday, then another refreeze... Take it day by day this time of year!!!! I plan on driving up to the Res. on Thursday to see where we are at.

If anyone knows anyone camping near the River , tell them to leave emediately , Brookfield power just contacted me and nearly 12,000cfs is going into the watershed , they are uping the River to 8,000cfs in a half hour , thus allowing them to store water for 14 hours , hoping it will give the upper branches enough time to receed.
-
Oh we'll see much higher water than 1800cfs before this spring is over, we are in a very active storm track right now. Don't see a repeat of 285 for the month of April like last year... Looks like a good drift boat period coming the next few weeks, 1800cfs is a little tricky for bank anglers, but I noticed since the flood that some runs were trenched out pretty good, so they can handle this flow better than the old days...stay safe..
Had a guest set a personal best for himself today...9 for 19 on floats and a noodle rod, he was very happy to say the least... his best trip ever.. ;D

Come on Friday ! ;D

hi Rick,
i have the Konic 3.5 which is probably the one you're looking to get. i've had mine for 3 years now and i think it's a great reel. have had absolutely no problems with it after catching at least a hundred or so Steelhead and some Salmon. i don't think you can go wrong with one. -Paul
thanks paul for the info sorry it took so long hey JR. you gonna be one of them fly PURISTS just kiddin RICK
-
thanks for the info gettin a 8wt. for up there I have a ll bean and the drag is a little hairy but great reel overall thanks rick
hey Rick, Take as look at the Okuma Helios reel. That's the one Jr. got for his birthday. It has a sealed drag system to keep water and dirt out of the drag. Should make the reel last alot longer. Good price for a good reel!! ;) Good ballgame the other night!! GO YANKEES!!!! ;D--KP 8)

thanks KP Iwas lookin at that one the konic is supposed to have that conical drag system gonna check out both at cabelas how was the scrapple? RICK

Well I wanted to fish this weekend, and this forecast certainly doesn't look good for it. News 9 just said 2.19" in Mexico by 7am tomm, and the rivers already gonna be 4000+/-, trying to be positive in it all look at the big picture. While we might lose this weekend, water levels will be better for the rest of the spring than last yr. :-\
Remember, lake & trib levels last spring? Seemed like it took forever for lakes to return to decent levels last yr. Ontario was even LOW, the Mexico point launch on the right side you woulda struggled to launch a jon boat for awhile. So here's hoping this this stuff brings us a better spring as a whole.

Intense rainfall rates over the Tug Hill right now. The precip continues to form in place just north of the NYS thruway like last night. Hardly any rain west of 81 or southwest of I 90..... Some sort of Catskil mountain rain shadow with southeasts winds.

6000 cfs - sounds fishable...in parking lots ;D
-
Just came back from the Res., she's still 6 feet down, this time of year I like to see about 10 feet plus of room, so they better play close attention later in the month. For now everything looks OK, just some high water for a bit, then probably back to 1800cfs, with the res. at that height already, I bet they rarely go under 1200-1800cfs for the rest of the month, unless we go back into a deep freeze or something.. my 2 cents...

I wouldn't doubt they spike it to 5-6000cfs for a bit, hopefully the big rains forcasted miss us, we've had an inch already and all the creeks on the way up to the Res. were dead low and frozen, woods had a 3 foot snowbase to help sponge up the water too. Actually still snow on the roads up there from last night. .. The power company needs to run enough water to get that Res. back down to 8-10 feet down in my opinion....

Your right about the 6,000, from NWS at Buffalo
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN BUFFALO HAS EXTENDED THE
* FLOOD ADVISORY FOR...
OSWEGO COUNTY IN CENTRAL NEW YORK...
* UNTIL 1015 AM EST FRIDAY
* AT 905 AM EST...OFFICIALS FROM BROOKFIELD POWER HAVE INFORMED
US THAT THEY WILL CONTINUE TO BE RELEASING WATER FROM THE RESERVOIR
ON THE UPPER REACHES OF THE RIVER THROUGH AT LEAST FRIDAY. FLOW
RATES ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE OR REMAIN AT 6000 CFS. THESE RATES
OF FLOW SHOULD NOT RESULT IN WIDESPREAD FLOODING...BUT THOSE WHO
UTILIZE THE LOWER PORTION OF THE RIVER TO FISH AND FOR RELATED
ACTIVITIES SHOULD BE ALERT FOR THE INCREASED FLOW AND AVOID THE
RIVER UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. THOSE WITH INTERESTS ALONG THE SALMON
RIVER SHOULD CONTINUE TO MONITOR LATER STATEMENTS CONCERNING THIS
SITUATION
-
This is very normal for the springtime, just seems we are in a storm pattern since early Feb. so waters will probably be at higher than normal levels in between these peak river spikes....should make the drift boats happy, bank anglers will be a little more confined as to where they can fish, maybe if were lucky this storm pattern will break down in time for april and have some nice low water periods so everyone can enjoy the River..We'll see..stay safe.. ;D

Looks like multiple dry slots and mountain shadows kept the rains down in central ny, we are up to 1.3 inches here, probably the most in the area..but looks like the brunt of the storm is done, just looks like showers from here on out..we'll see. I'm glad, plus temps at 39 degrees, the snow is melting less rapidly than expected, dew points are high and so is the wind, so we are loosing quite a bit of snow , but over a long period of time, I'd say the flash flood threat is past us now!!
-
North Sandy is still rising, 3200cfs , good thing the heavy rain missed us...could have been alot higher. Sometimes I look at this gauge as a reference, above the Res. there's 2 branches called the North and South branches that are both a little bigger than this stream. During the spring though theres much more snowpack on the Tug Hill, as North Sandy does not drain off the Tug Hill, it has melted it's snow now, so I won't use it as a gauge anymore, Now I'll look at Fish Creek's gauge in Taberg for references........South Sandy drains from the Tug but has no gauge on it...

The gauge at Pineville has come down some on the Salmon River , but it's not from the Tribs coming down .... they are still rising, here's little Trout Brooks numbers..
220cfs and still rising.

I take the 1200-1800 prediction back , looks like they have made room for the Tug hill snowpack as of today, I took another drive, looks good...maybe we can get back to some normal 500-750 levels. I'll settle for 1200-1800cfs for a while longer though.

Well I can say if your going to fish that high.. Pray for 1200-1800cfs!!! You can toss anything you want at this point. Blue,Green,Orange,white,yellow sacs,pink worms and beads.. All colors of beads seem to be working still.. 10mm are the best in High off color water. I wish I had 12mm today.. esoxv and I did two for four.. One Brown one steel.. It was Ripping!!! "The Flyfishermen" or whatever they call it up there, where just snagging away below the bridge in altmar.. Seen one take a dip.. You got to love a 33deg dip at 3200cfs. BTW we float Issiah, So if you have some floats you'll have a blast!
Good luck!!

Thanx Man. Maybe I'll see you guys up there? I dabble with everything, prefer floats though...
-
I am out, busy week for me!! Try the tressle pool too! was loaded last week!!
-
Yea.. what was up with that dude flying off the bank head first into that Fast deep water.. for a minute I had visions of you catching a fish on a 6" pink worm !! Next time the bet is i jump in if you catch one..You jump in if you don't.. ;D

Nice... to get a good look at all the different runs at that water level.. Lot of walking...alittle fishing... good times wish I had my bottom bouncer today...
-
Took a drive up to the Res.......... They must be letting out what's coming in , because it's height hasn't changed in 3 days, a little more runoff then I thought... ground is really saturated, fields have water on them everywhere.. Hey Bob there was about 20 inches of snow up by dam rd. and snowing hard when I was there. Hopefully we'll get 1800cfs soon, maybe tomorrow...alot of warm weather in the forecast after tomorrow.
-
I know it's Monday BUT I am thinking, what part of the River I am going to fish on Saturday!
-
Trying to figure out where to fish this week before & after work!
Although I'm still watching the levels. I have a ways to go, before catching up to some of you guys with my ability to fish the higher water.
Personally I like 750-1200, I walk alot, cross etc.
1500-1800 sure would be nice though. 2250+ not crossing, & limits the areas can walk too.
Here's hoping since Snagger noticed the res is at the same level as days ago, it'll get back down there soon.
Good luck!

Well after a long...cold winter working floats I decided to put the pin away and hit the river today with the spey setup. Started around the trestle area...water was too high to cross that little channel up stream so just hung around there without any grabs. Decided to change spots around 10. Went up to Altmar, very few people which is understandable with the water being as high as it is. Walked right down to a vacant (minus 2 driftboats) schoolhouse and got a nice brown to grab on the fourth or fifth swing. She was real close to the bank up above where the trees are down and she took this articulated marabou pattern I just tied up ;D. It's been quite awhile since I've felt a take from a fish, and I have to say my heart palpitated a little bit.
Worked my way down to the tail out lost one smaller steelie, changed flies a couple times and then <u>WHAM!</u> I get a grab from a fish that just about rips the rod out of my hand. The drag is screaming, I'm trying to tighten it down while keeping a palm on the spool......this fish takes me straight to backing on the first run!! Which has never happened to me while swinging flies for steelies. I'm standing at the tailout of the schoolhouse and my line is just about 3/4 of the way to the wires. I immediately start to salivate with the thought of a 15lber or maybe even 20....just maybe..., like any time a big fish shakes that head a few times. I'm hoping this fish takes a run to the opposite bank but of course not, runs directly towards the bank I'm on and goes around that tiny corner that is way to deep to go around right now and pops me off.
Would have liked to get a look at that one but it was just nice to be out there doing the spey thing. Although I have admit I did stop and watch a few guys working the floats and it got me wishing I brought the pin along too.

Nice looking flies...I still need to hook up with you this spring for some jigs before I head up to Alaska...I will be in Oswego Monday - Friday from 5-6 until June 6...I will drop in and look for you once the waters become a little more favorable...
Have you ever swung a crawdad pattern in the summer for smallies?

I fish just about every pattern during the warm water season on the Oswego including a bunch of different crawdad patterns...but a good old clouser is hard to beat on most days. I was dumbfounded last season, some days you could catch 30-40 bass in a couple hours. Earlier on in the spring is the time to get the big ones though.
Took a look at the river this morning after running some errands and she's just about up over the railing on the lower walk way on the west side. I bet that channel is pushing 25-30ft deep now. The res. for the power plant has been filled up for a couple weeks now....and I'm not sure if it was just the high water making a current but it looked to me as though there may have been a couple of turbines on which is great news, we may see a return to normal water levels sometime this century. Mabye in time to catch a few of the many steelhead that I'm sure havent seen a presentation all season.
there has been a horde of gulls over the river for a few days now swooping down and eating baitfish....this high water is rough.

Keep the stories coming Erney.......... they are great...., feels like I'm right there with you.. ;D

Took a run to the river today. After getting half way there I realized I forgot my rod. stopped by a friends in the area and all he had was a 7' Carbonlite medium action bass rod with a Revo Premiere baitcaster on it. I was not driving the hour and half back home, so it was going to have to work.

Nice fish!! 8) I've always wanted to get one on the jigging rod!! I did catch my first steelie fishing for rock bass with worms and a zebco 202.
-
Fished from the barrel to the Wires for a couple hours today to get the rust out, only hooked 2 and both spit the hook, bead and float bite was slow for me. That was some pretty big cold water, most runs were kind of wishy washy, not good fishing runs. There was 2 key spots where I seen some decent action, but by no means on fire like before the 4000cfs over the weekend. Saw about a half dozen fish hooked by other anglers, really nice weather day, but that River water is cold. As I was leaving the River dropped 4 inches quick, probably turned on a nice evening bite.

It's really only about 6 weeks or so of liquid nitrogen cold you won't find me fishing.

Come on boys, this is a salmon river thread.

Will higher water levels during the spring season make the fish stick around any longer than normal?

I am watching angling great lakes out of western New York... It's the Pro-am tournament. They sure do boat a a lot of Steelheads!!! Right into the box.. I guess that's ok. ;)

If it stays high during april after the water temps hit the 40's and they can spawn, they'll be able to fall back to the lake faster. But like the last 3 years theres an incredible amount of fish at the Hatchery, I was there yesterday at that cement dam across the street, OMG I almost passed out, there was hundreds sunning them selves, 2 in particular were around 36 inches long. Once the sun went behind the trees, they fell back. It would be nice to get this snowmelt out of the way early again and have lower waters for April, not as low as last year, but a comfortable level.

Hey my homies, hows the fishing these days? Just got done moving to canisteo NY. Looking forward to getting north soon, so snagger drop a line. You too LV. Hope to see you all soon. :afro:

Fished the lower end of the river for two days. It was warm weather with LOTS of run-off on friday, but the afternoon and a 2+ mile hike found me 2 chromers, a brown, and a fat domestic. The brown was in the same drift as the steelies but took a pink worm rather than a sack. Saturday was a tough bite and managed one steelie on a 8mm gloroe mottled bead. One thing I did notice in that the areas I fished, was that the river banks are still ALMOST litter free! The cleanups and the flood sure flushed alot of crap out and it was nice to still see clean river banks. I found a few floats BUT I couldnt believe the amount of birdnested piles of floating monofiliment along the banks. They were all over the place washed up. This stuff is BAD news for wildlife and it wasn't painful to pick it up and stick in a pocket. I'm not bitching or ranting, just reminding everyone to help the river (wich provides us so much) out.
-
me and my buddy dave spend alot of time in the summer snorkeling the river and cutting out the line nests , i still cant belive how many people use 20 + # test in the river ???

Just looked at the weather forecast, if we escape much rain tomorrow... cold and dry for a LONG time after that... River will be headed much lower SOON!!! Looks like we could be waiting til April too melt the left over Tug Hill snowpack. Going to be a in between cold water period before that.

Know what would be great Frank, is if the power company was able to lower the River to say 500-750cfs or something, then any sun we get during this cold snap we got coming the next week or so, would warm the water during mid to late in the afternoons. Sort of like wiinter , nice flurries from time to time..other wise, what you see is what you got, very cold sluggish fish for a while. I'm not saying there isn't little key week day spots that won't be producing decent numbers, but you had better be on one of them. Nice fish you and Scott got!!!! ;D

Great pics LV!!!

Fished yesterday morning till about noon....saw one hook up at the wires and that was it. Even stopped and watched the bridge rippers and they werent doing anything either. Guess that's March for ya.

River was on fire this morning!! Caught and saw more fish then i have the last couple months put together!! Talked with another friend who told me the tribs were smoking also.. I actually hit fish at every hole i stopped at..
-
What areas did you fish Griz??--KP 8)
-
WOW~i fished hard sun and not a bite. Started at the meadows in DSR and finished up in pineville. Worked over some good holes with eggs, beads and pw's. NADA!

Good Job Man!!!!!! :thumbup_smilie: Most guys I know are working for them in this cold snowmelt water period we are in. I didn't talk too anybody today though. Tribs have been decent at times the last couple of weeks. ;)
-
Started out near Papermill and ended up a bit above the Old Pineville bridge.. Mainly catching them on Nymphs and Copper Johns fished dead on the bottom.. Didn't matter to much about color as it seemed everything worked today.. When they turned off just changed color and it was back on.. Honestly what a day!! I actually lost count. But days like today are what you fish for!!
-
Good for you man, others on here wished they had a day like that this time of the year!! Way to go!!--KP 8)

AWESOME GRIZ... All them killer days I had in the fall kept me going through the one or two fish days this winter...Counting the days till i break out the double digits..been close..
Good call.. Your Not the first person to say nymph and caddis patterns.... Last two times out the color change thing has worked for me also.Usually within 1 to 3 casts of a color change.. All bags lately... Fishing was good everywhere today from the sounds of it.

Rivers still at 1800 any ETA for the drop ??
-
Going to 1200cfs tonight..
-
won't see 1500 again till we get some more rain.....
-
Yes days like today a very few and far between.. Last time i had another day like today was about 10 years ago!! Watch..now i will pay and not catch another fish for a month!!
-
Well Griz you got me too walk down to the River, was waiting for my patch to dry on my other waders, so grabbed my waiste highs... First 30 minutes nothing, then found a run where I landed 2 for 3 in about 20 minutes, one chrome 7lb. female and about a 9lb older male.. beads and floats with the CP , thought I might pick up a few browns in some slack water , but didn't.. Felt like January out there, but they seemed a little more agressive then last Thursday, it might be game on once the water drops.
The way I read it , it aint going down til tomorrow night... then 1200cfs through 1159pm .... sounds like even lower Thursday....That would be awesome!! ;D

Next time i am over that way i will stop by and give you some of My Copper Johns.. for me they work the best this time of year.. I had another friend with me who was also using a CP and Floats and didn't even catch half as many as i.. but being a Pinner and stubborn i could not get him to switch over to bottom bouncing either.. Guess some guys just don't enjoy catching fish!!

Oh I'm not afraid to switch over to where the action is, I was practically born with a noodle rod in my hand....actually even though I know bottom drifting is king right now and bags are out fishing beads under floats right now. I've got these 3 beads I been running for almost a year now, once that year is up, I'll then know when they start biting on them in the spring, when they stop, already know when they started hitting them in the fall... September 21st and stopped on December 12th, I know when they stop in the spring, just don't know when they start.... once my experiment is over ..... I can put it behind me and go back to where the action is. Thanks for the info Griz, much appreciated.

ya , if hes half as good at steel as he is on wallys youre pretty much toast ;D

The In-Fisherman article I read this winter indicated that CP floating makes a good presentation of flies!!! I intend to find that out and not restrict myself to a bead or sac.

8" here in Rockaway, NJ but a few more are forecast for tonight with cold temps. The accumulation packed down a bit so it doesn't look like 8" anymore but any amount is more than I'd like to have. It's not :sick: :cursing: :nono: a good start to Spring in NNJ.

It has to though .... I mean if your nymphing are are trying for a drag free drift ..mend mend mend mend ..... you would think a nymph under a float would be the perfect drift.

Floated some jigs and pw's in the town pool this am. Nada on the trout! :'( All the other guys fishing there gave up an hour before me. Only caught a couple fallfish, one was pretty chunky. Thought it was a sucker at first.

Hit 3 runs again for an hour and a half and once again the River is just too high to effectively fish anywhere near my house except one seam in the schoolhouse with waiste highs on, went an hour earlier tonight , but just like clock work there was a good bite around 6pm, landed 2 for 3 again , missed a couple bites. Landed a really giant female around 14lbs. wish I had a camera, she was really pink and silver... great battle with a couple good jumps. My reel actually froze up and had frozen guide issues this evening... beads and floats again, saw a really nice one on a stringer too by another fisherman. That's it..nothing great, just workin for em...
good luck out there .. waters staying up ...

Greetings from snowville KP & KP Jr.....LOL. Just went for my lungs on all kinds of stuff .....new CP combo, 4 wt. Fly reel, Danvise, Waders, net, residuals still to come. Thank goodness I sold some stuff to pay for it or else I'd be somewhere far away from the dog house bro. Got back from the Carolina's last Friday but didn't fish at all down there. We travelled all over from Boone, NC to Rock Hill, SC. The weather there is my kind of stuff. .............70's to 80's everyday this week but nice last week as well. Hit Mt. Mitchell and got a feel for the lay of the land down there. Hope to mosey on down in about 3 yrs for permanent status. We'll see if that happens.
I picked up a brochure in the Boone, NC area for the Elk Creek Outfitters and might have to give it a try with my South Carolina buddy. They do float trips & guide service like on the SR for Trout in tha Watauga River. Trophy sized monster Brown & Rainbows can be found in the South Holston River too. The mountains (Appalachian, Smokeys (Tenn.), etc are awesome......... bigger than the Adirondacks! Mitchell is 6684 above sea level while Mt. Marcy (highest in NY) is 5343!! They had 7" of snow on Mitchell last Tuesday, by Thursday (when we went) it was mostly gone. Also went to the Dupont National Forest. Saw 3 sets of Falls; Hooker, Triple and High Falls. Can be viewed here:-http://www.ncwaterfalls.com/dupont1.htm (http://www.ncwaterfalls.com/dupont1.htm)
It looked like some good trout waters too!! http://www.dupontforest.com/fishing.asp (http://www.dupontforest.com/fishing.asp) There were some posted signs like this one:-(https://www.myfishfinder.com/fishing_forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1090.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fi379%2Ffishsomemore%2FIMG_3135.jpg&hash=11315cafb0235bda5f5422aafa5f0e47) Lots more photo's here:-

Got me!! You may be a tad young but do you remember the Real TV show? Anyway they had stupid or funny signs to view each week. The local Ding Dong Dairy here in town had a sign in the parking lot that I should have taken a photo of and sent it in. It said:- "Parking for Ding Dong customers only" !!!!!!! Thought you might like that one too!!

Greetings from snowville KP & KP Jr.....LOL. Just went for my lungs on all kinds of stuff .....new CP combo, 4 wt. Fly reel, Danvise, Waders, net, residuals still to come. Thank goodness I sold some stuff to pay for it or else I'd be somewhere far away from the dog house bro. Got back from the Carolina's last Friday but didn't fish at all down there. We travelled all over from Boone, NC to Rock Hill, SC. The weather there is my kind of stuff. .............70's to 80's everyday this week but nice last week as well. Hit Mt. Mitchell and got a feel for the lay of the land down there. Hope to mosey on down in about 3 yrs for permanent status. We'll see if that happens.
I picked up a brochure in the Boone, NC area for the Elk Creek Outfitters and might have to give it a try with my South Carolina buddy. They do float trips & guide service like on the SR for Trout in tha Watauga River. Trophy sized monster Brown & Rainbows can be found in the South Holston River too. The mountains (Appalachian, Smokeys (Tenn.), etc are awesome......... bigger than the Adirondacks! Mitchell is 6684 above sea level while Mt. Marcy (highest in NY) is 5343!! They had 7" of snow on Mitchell last Tuesday, by Thursday (when we went) it was mostly gone. Also went to the Dupont National Forest. Saw 3 sets of Falls; Hooker, Triple and High Falls. Can be viewed here:-http://www.ncwaterfalls.com/dupont1.htm (http://www.ncwaterfalls.com/dupont1.htm)
It looked like some good trout waters too!! http://www.dupontforest.com/fishing.asp (http://www.dupontforest.com/fishing.asp) There were some posted signs like this one:-(https://www.myfishfinder.com/fishing_forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1090.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fi379%2Ffishsomemore%2FIMG_3135.jpg&hash=11315cafb0235bda5f5422aafa5f0e47) Lots more photo's here:-

Hit it the river hard yesterday...parked at altmar and fished my way to the bovines and back. Went 4 for 7 with a couple of dinks mixed in. Landed a couple males yesterday that were spitting milk. Fished till about 6...but now that I've read Snag's post that they havent been turning on till 6ish i wish I stayed right till dark.
Noticed I've got a few holes in my waders the last couple times I've been out...wondering if anyone around here sells aquaseal or something like it?
Would hate to send my waders back right now and have it take a month for them to come back.

look at teh loon uv wader repair. as long as its not on the booties of your waders this stuff works great, put it on there, put it in the sun, seals them in minutes and works great.
-
I always watch to see when the last boat to go through running a second shift is... Been about 3pm lately, I like to try to increase my odds when fishing up river by not fishing direcly behind someone, not many biters to be had if a shift of boats just went through, if you know what I mean.
Once this River goes down, I'll be headed elsewhere, but for now there seems to be a decent evening bite for me anyway, see if the sunshine today turns them on a little better.. I've ripped my waders 3 times in 3 trips, so don't feel bad, repairing a pair right now, only a small hole ... so a quick shot from a hot glue stick. Had to use aquaseal yesterday.
Hey KC Rivers still pretty swollen, Tom's run is unfishable if that helps!!! Larger pools and seams right now bud.. ;D
-
Hey King Perch let us know what the conditions are like when you get back.
KC, just got back from visiting SNAGGER, the water is still high and running 1500! I'll let SNAGGER post his report later for further river conditions!! I didn't fish, just B.S.'d!! Good seeing you again Shane and Freddie! I got schooled today pretty good about the Old Days of the river!! Great stuff!! Thanks you guys for the laughs!!!! ;)--KP 8)

Ole Fred had some crazy stories from the 70's and 80's... good stuff!! , can't believe we never ran into each other back in the 80's We sure shared some of the same water. :w00t:!!!
-
How are you guys ripping your waders? Neos or breathable? Don't feel bad i had to buy a new pair sunday...cuz i forgot to put them in the car. ::) $129 later at Fat nancys for a new pair of frogg togg breathables. I was due...my old hodgeman's were over 10 yr.s old. Couldn't go home and get them, had a buddy waiting at the DSR with a free pass for me. Plus it would have been another $30 in gas to go home and back. ;) That's what i told myself when i swiped the credit card. Guess i could have rented a pair...but didn't think of that at the time. I was still half-asleep and just wanted to get fishing. :D

ya but now you have 2 pair nice to have a spare

That's a 26ft Carver on the trailer in the pic, but it does look smaller with the trailer.We've moved boats up to 35ft with it so far,but it will hold a 40ft.Its a hydraulic trailer,I can lift the boat up about another 3ft with the hydraulics which makes it real nice for working on the bottom.

Never got on the computer last night KP , Did my same run across the street yesterday from 5pm til 630pm , it was cold with the wind blowing up the River and the fish were very sluggish, even the bottom drifters didn't hook any when I was down there ... only had 2 bites, landed an odd size steelhead, small 2lber around 18 inches long.
Drifted floats through the same 3 runs, Can't wait for the water to go down already so we can move around a bit more.... 7 days of cold dry weather coming and no water drop!! I'm confused!! This power company is very confusing in how they manage the water in last 3 years.
-
It's dropping to 1000 today for the weekend.

Hey guys, fishing the river in a couple weeks. What is the ideal water flow (CFS) for steelheads. Been reading about your fishery and seems alot depends on flows and temps. Just curious from some of you pros.
Fishing pulaski/Altmar area mid April. Any info to share for a newbie on the river would be great. (I am not new to fishing or river fishing, just fishing in NY)
Thanks

I'm no pro but...everyone has their own favorite flow. I like 750 to 1200. It spreads out the fish, spreads out the fishermen, and creates lots of good holding spots for the fish, giving you and them an equal chance. Your going to find yourself fishing this river the same as smaller trout streams. When you do hook a few, THAT will be your new favorite spot and flow. (write down a few notes when you get back to the vehicle for future fishing reference) Good luck!

SNAGGER YOUR IN BOX IS FULL ??? ??? ??? ??? ::) ;D

Seen the River was dropping around 4pm so tryed to get my stuff done quick to get in on a possible bonanza. I was right... it was already on when I got there.... it was really good for me from 440-6pm with floats ... landed 2 for 7 on...good battles too on the ones I lost, saw many fish hooked by other anglers as well.. after 630pm things seemed to die out, plus my fingers were'nt working anyways, it's pretty cold out there to be bare handing fish... Great evening and a great flow finally. ;D
-
The drop was great today! Not a huge drop but it was a drop.
Finally was there at the right time...fished from 2-630ish, all with floats. Managed to pull a double digit day, first since November. Switched up colors a lot...seemed to do the trick.

I personally like lots of levels... but above 1250cfs, it starts to get restricted for people walking the River. Drift boat guys like big water, and I understand that... but me I'd be happy if it stayed at 750cfs most of the time.. todays 1000cfs was nice, but I still almost took a few dives where I was wading out too. When I fish Pulaski, I like 335-500cfs personally, easy walking and the holes aren't all covered up by water. Too each there own though.
-
Were you the guy banging them on the school side?
sure was...thought that might have been you walking to the tailout.

Yep .... I Looked down and seen you with a bent rod more than once Erney!!... ;) I was up above fishing the "Barrel"... Well I think this is the beginning of the more crowded season now....alot of cars around town tonight.
-
Wow!! Is there some Drift boats in the "barrel"... can see 6 of them from my window. ... Had some guests already come back up and say there's very few hook ups this morning. Temps in the lower teens this morning and the last few mornings has this River cold. We'll see how the afternoon bite is after the sun has a chance to warm things up a bit.

Heres a few pictures from yesterday.

I have heard good things about the Sage 1800 and the Lamson Konic. Either one would work, but you dont have to spend crazy money either!! Even the reel KP got me started with the Okuma Sierra 8/9 weight works fine!!

gotta love the trion

Bass Pro had a one day sale during their Fishing Classic a few weeks ago and they had the Orvis Battenkill Large Arbor on sale for $69...I found them on line for about $200...I have no idea if they are worth the money or not?
-
Walked across the street and fished for 50 minutes, 2 on and landed 2... nice 8lb. olive green males, still tight ...not milking was curious if the bite would hold up after the gauntlet of guys and boats this morning...seems as though it has.!!
Also took a ride up to the Res., she's about as low as they can bring her down now, I'd guess 14-16 feet...looks like were headed for a lower water period before the Tug hill meltdown in April , the snowpack in the woods near Redfield looked like it was holding about 4 inches of water equivalent . maybe more, that stuff is hardpacked man...

after being the #7 boat to launch at 530am i knew it was gonna be tough, fished the school till about 10, only did 3 fish and they came about 10 and were in 4 casts over teh same spot i'd been fishing all morning. needless to say, the rest of the day SUCKED. people and boats all over , 32.4 degree water didnt help either. oh well.
-
Wow that many by 530 , glad I'm not in that racket.... My guys said it was a decent bite 8-10am and again from 4-6pm, mid day lull.
-
your box is full Filet...!!!
-
seven boats by 530....man, if you're a bank anlger you'de have to get there at 430-500 to get a spot probably. Guess I'll be taking my trips on week days from here until the end.

I'll second that! Tank and I each have one for about 4 years now and no problems. Big numbers of salmon and steel in those years and they are going strong. I have burned up two reels costing twice as much, one was fried after a good morning down low...

i wathed adam with that reel all fall and it is a good one. the okuma that i got slips when it gets wet with that cork drag and i hate it >:( i will have one of those this year for the sharks!

Very good luck with all the Pflueger products we have used including 3 fly reels, 6 or 7 spinning reels for ice, and the same number for open water. Havent had a lemon yet!
Great reel for beating on sharks for sure. Only small complaint is the drag adjustment knob. Wish it was a tad bigger. But most of the time ya set it and forget it. I get used to the knob on my Ross all spring and summer then salmon season comes along... ;D
Not sure how it will do loaded with mono, lol. We run cheap flyline up there just because we find it easier to handle/controll and nicer on the hands...
-
after i bought that reel, i have been switching all my reels over to pfluger, i love the president, 70 bucks 10 bearings, i also still have a old 9 wt fly rod, i use for kings i bet that rod has had over a 1000 fish on it, i really like there products, but yes snag the trion has a sealed gear drag, so i think that is why is not so exspenive, im not a fan of cork drags anyway. wish they still made the old martin 72 like they used to

Prez & trion spinning rule! I can't say bout the fly. I've got half a dozen spinning & you can't killem. Most come with an extra spool too! So I've got spools loaded with 8-30lb mono & braid, as long as you have the same size reel all interchangable. $40 for the trion 6 or 7 bearings $60 for the prez 10 bearings, & lots of times hard to tell the difference.
Now you can get them anywhere too. Mine all came from bass pro, but a couple weeks ago I saw them at wally-world in Central Square. Same everything, just in a clear plastic blister pack instead of of cardboard box.
My favorite all purpose rod is now a 9'6 browning noodle with a trion, as long as I have the extra spools loaded I get everything from perch to steel, to 30lb fresh kings in the lower end. Can't beat the price either ;)

I recently purchased the Pflueger President 2034 (3-4 wt) Fly reel while my bro got the 2056 (5-6 wt) with a patented center disc drag system. We love 'em so far. Both were in use today. I have the Okuma Integrity 8-9 wt reel and HT informed me that it has a cork washer type drag that swells when wet. It can be a problem but I haven't used it enough to experience any yet. If I could remake the purchase it would be a President 2090 model.
15, give or take, small Brookies out of the Pequest this morning on a mudler minnow. At least I didn't get skunked like last Saturday.

good Stuff there Ernye Nice Bright Fish!!!! Hey UMM Nice bead too!! ;) ;) ;)
It has been a great fall and winter on the Salmon River. A good spring so far and will get better in the next few weeks..
On a personal note, when I get stray PM's from fisherman about fishing tips on the Salmon River. How too's, where too's ETC.... I don't mind helping out with pointers on getting a Salmon River Trophy Steelie or Salmon.. All I ask for is Feedback in a PM please.. How you did, where you caught the fish, what you caught the fish on ETC.. How helpful my info was.. Stuff like that and if I can make it, I'll fish with you.. ;D

i wathed adam with that reel all fall and it is a good one. the okuma that i got slips when it gets wet with that cork drag and i hate it >:( i will have one of those this year for the sharks!
HELIOS HT?? Can't see how sealed drags can get water in them and slip!--KP
-
I've been spooled and schooled by mudsharks on bothe the Okuma integrity 8/9 and their Airframe model 7/8 reels..
These reels had the non-sealed cork drags.
Don;t get them wet - made quite a nasty birdsnest out of the flyline, and almost broke my thumb.
-
Holy cow~you guys are already planning for next fall? I like it!! 8)
I'm running the cheapest Redington fly rod/reel combo you can buy, redfly2 i think. $150 at cabelas. Reel isn't the smoothest...but gets the job done.

When you remove the spool you can see the cork so it's exposed to the elements. You may not even have to get it wet. Humidity or moisture will swell it and lock it up.

wow thanks for all the imput you guys are great thats why this thread is so popular still might go with the lamson konic---$139.00 -cabelas thanks again RICK

i was ready for shark fishing again when they all died. i was ready for ice fishing when the ice became a death trap. now i have became a canal river rat for perch ::) ::) ::) i am waiting for my boat motor to get fixed and the 3' of snow to melt so i can get to the boat and get it ready. Hey Fall is right around the corner you know ;D ;D ;D

You'd think when the spool goes on the Okuma Integrity that the surfaces would seal but there is no O-ring or depression to receive one; only 2 hard surfaces that make contact. That does NOT provide a seal!

I plan on trying to keep the drag loose and using my finger, like with the CP for a drag, but I have no clue if that will prevent it from locking up. I know it has been sitting since the fall and I pulled it off the basement shelf to see if the drag was tight or set like I had it for fishing and it was locked up. Probably from the moisture in the basement. I did that since HT & company told me in the fall about the problem........ they were correct!!!
Esox v: HT ain't no snob dude. He helped me out and I'm from Joisey!!! :rotflol: :rotflol:

Sunday was another tough day! :'( Decided to try the afternoon/evening bite. Brought a buddy from work that's a newbie SR fisherman...but is a good fisherman. Set him up with a noodle rod with floats. Started off in Altmar. A few guys and a couple boats had already pounded all the good holes. Saw one guy hook up bbing. We gave it an hour or so. Nada We get back in the truck and head down to Ellis cove. Nobody there...awesome! Hit a nice run there that's usually good for a couple of fish. Nada. Jump back in the truck and head down to the town pool. Nobody there...awesome! Hit that hard for the last two hours of the day. Ran some fresh steelie eggs and jigs. 0-0...except for some chubs.
-
Strange you say that, just drove over the bridge, only one guy there, so grabbed my pin with my favorite bead.....I got nothing, another guy whopped my @ss though with blue sac's under a float , he hooked 3 in 10 minutes... nice chrome fish too, said he did a dozen so far today. oh well, I'll pay some bills and try to sneak an hour in somewhere lower.
-
Don't want to alarm anyone, but this is what we have been finding in the stomachs and gills of Steelhead lately. Living parasites. My neighbor has contacted the DEC to come look at them. In the second picture, you can see they have eaten a chunk of the gills away.

Are they in the meat also ??? ??? :sick:
-
I have never seen that before Snagger.. You right no need to worry about anything yet. The DEC SHOULD know what it is. Could be a Grub that lives in the waters and in there weakend state couldn't fight them off? Are they in chromers and darkies or just darkies?
-
....that's what happens when you'll spawn with just about anyone....... yuck!
-
Hit the River for an hour ... fished floats and beads again ...... Still very windy and cold out ,
no ice in the guides atleast..hooked 2 landed this one... about a 11lb. female.

After talking with my Neighbor Big Don , he said he read articles about this being common with sea going Atlantics.

ive seen these ugly things on perch in gills and on meat in a pond i ice fish in sullivian county ny

After talking with my Neighbor Big Don , he said he read articles about this being common with sea going Atlantics.
seems this has been seen before in NY - seems from the responses to the forum it's naturally occurring
"This gill parasite appears to be a species of Salmonicola, which is a copepod parasite often referred to as fish louse or gill louse. A biologist out of our Dunkirk office has seen quite bad infestations on Lake Erie steelhead in the past (individuals not whole population). Some fish to the point where it would be detrimental to their health. This is a natural occurring parasite whose presence fluctuates from year to year. Curiously, anglers see it more in early running fish than in fish running later in the fall and winter."

all good Kc.
Odd you say Lake Erie cnr.....My neighbor talked to a fisheries person from Lake Erie today about those parasites, these Steelhead that have been coming into his station are from all over too.. South sandy, skinner, Trout brook and this River, hope they don't become some sort of a problem to the adult steelhead's survival.
-
hey everybody, dont mean to change subject on ya but, i was looking for some info on smoking king salmon and steelhead... i have some king salmon fillets (no skin) and a 9lb trout (gutted with just the head and tail cut off and skin on) in my freezer, i was hoping to get a quick help on basic brine recipes and how i should cook the trout.. thanks ;D
-
the first thing you have to do when smokeing anything is to cure it , witch is to say a salt and sugar rub . there are many resipies for a cure and all effect the flavor so do a lil research online then go with one that sounds good to you . then rub the fish down on both sides and put it on a rack over a tray and put it in the fridge for at leaast 12 hrs . then there is a hot smoke , or a cold smoke . hot smoke is faster , but has less flavor , in my opinion . cold smoke takes 6 to 8 hrs , hot smoke an hour or less depending on the size of the fillet .
when you cure the fish be ready for a mess , as it removes the liquid from the meat . 1st time i did it at home i didnt use a deep enough drain pan , and the ole lady had a kitten . i found myself emptying and scrubbing the fridge at 5am ;D

Hmm I'm not the only one to make that mistake? I don't know what I got a worse response for that, or letting some maple syrup I was finishing inside on the stove boil over fill the house with smoke, and turn the entire stove top to goo ::) ::) I've since been told I'm not allowed to do it inside anymore.
-
:rotflol: :clapping: :thumbup_smilie: thats a good one lol

I caught a steelhead out in the lake 4 years ago with the same parasites. This fish was loaded with them (gills). DEC was not really interested in them when I called.

We take a trip there every other year...been going since 93 when the Mrs. and I went on our honeymoon. Great vacation, fishing, shopping and eating. Bcons, I'll have to check out a charter for tuna when we get there...Jr's arms will fall off, i've seen him after battling 12 or so steelhead!! LOL!! Rick, I have eaten there before...great food!! We went on a boat trip to Martha's Vineyard, never been to Nantucket...Maybe this time!! Jr. is taking his noodle rod and flyrod...he's on a mission for a striper!! SNAGGER gave us a few tips!! ;) That hat certainly brought kowboy some luck to catch that tuna.....Give me your address rick...I'll send ya a real nice YANKEES hat!! ;) You'll need it to catch more fish on the SR!! :w00t: Titelines !--KP ;D

KP Well depending on water temps this summer, August is normally hot for Bluefish too. Easy target from shore, either surf, jedis, or canal & river mouths. On the Cape, the cape canal is a good spot. Same size as the steelies here for the most part, but you'd never know it when ya hook one. Average is prob 8-14lbs, with 16-20's coming once & a while. They school up and thrash bait like nothing else. They love to find the rip currents, rivers with decent flow dumping in on in incoming tide creating some nasty currents, or the breakers right on the beach. They fair much better in horrible currents than the bait they're chasing. They smash just about anything. Light tackle 8-12lb with a steel leader. Never tried a noodle, but who knows. Think a dozen steelie will wear ya out, try blues ;)
-
Should be fun!! we'll update then when we return from our trip!! thanks for the info, It should help. I'll pick your brain for locations when we set out to leave. ;)--KP!! Wonder what the river will be running at tomorrow!! :whistling: I gotta day between gigs!! ;)

I like to soak them in a brine solution (1Cup Kosher Salt,1Cup Brown Sugar,2Qts Water) over night in the fridge. Then smoke them with Mesquite wood soaked in water over night. Takes about 1-2 hrs. chill em and enjoy with a Blue.

Forgot to to add the most important step, especially with gamey tasting fish like salmon Mr. Ed.... before the curing process, soak the filets in a brine solution overnight, then give them a thorough rinse. Now continue on with recipe ;)

Of course i had to go back and read all the notes since i was gone aweek. Want to do some of the river fishing, but dont have the equipment or knowledge willing to learn if anyone wants to give me some direction. While i was in Aruba last week met aguy from Maine and we were talking fishing and he to is on iceshanty, we both laughed as were both addicted to it, although i was shocked he didnt like to eat fish. Well any help would b appreciated. Kowboy

Nice Fish Kowboyup
Hey Kowboy.. Anything you want to know about the Salmon River fishing just give me a shout, this will be my 33rd spring fishing it. Alots changed over the years but it's a fun place, it can be tough at times and it can be great.. Sometimes it's crowded and sometimes you got runs to yourself. Theres lots of ways to fish it..
Oh forgot to say ... That loose gravel left over from the big flood last october has shifted around again..hate to say it but last weeks 3800cfs changed the River enough that we have to re learn it again...
A guest staying here from VT. just came in and said he had his best bead and float morning he's ever had, said he's hooked atleast a dozen so far today. Looks like the fun has begun. He said the action was as good as the high bridge in Pulaski last April.
-
hey kp if you go to the canal try sandwich marina first incoming high and out going if no luck go down to borne at the railroad trestle had luck at both early august used power bait 6" shad and bunker keep the hat I already have one used it once didnt have ant toilet paper worked good HA-HA-HA_ RICK

Looks like the Drift boats are getting wise to our mid day game, alot of boats just going by my house right now at 10:30am.... Never seen so many boats as this year, guess I'll have to do some recon before I hit the River today....

KP thanks for help will do that
Anytime Kowboy!! ;) I'm still a rookie on that river, make sure you talk to SNAGGER for more details!! He'll set you in the direction you wanna go!! ;) Have fun!!--KP 8)

brineing does basicly the same thing as cureing mr turtle head ;) its an either or thing :P
brineing changes the molecular structure of the proteins in the meat, curing cures it, very diffrent mr ed, how they biting down there doots

Hit the river today. Second cast and was tight to a small chromer. And that was all she wrote. Never another bite all day.
Was nice meeting you Shane. Thanks for the quick lesson. I can see I have to change out that line. Too stiff. Glad to see you had some action.
Talked with a few guys who said the bite was on early down low. Also watched a guy hit 3 on night crawlers. He also had a couple more on when I walked down the river. Not alot of hook ups from what I saw today.

Just got some new materials for some steelie jigs . Got 50 16th oz ball head jig heads with a 2 x strong mustad black nickel hook. No more bending the hooks out on a big fish .... Some marabou in white and black , And also some Schallapen feathers. Have been using straight marabou all this year untill I watched a few people tying with schallapen feathers , the jigs turned out great ! and you only use 2 feathers compared to a ton of wasted marabou to make a full jig Anyone else out there fishing the SR tie their own jigs ???

Really Nice meeting you KC!! ... when we left the schoolhouse we were still at only a couple hook ups around 230pm, but that would soon change.. Took a drift boat ride down the River with Mark Sabia from Northwoods Outfitters a little after noon... Me.. my buddy Wayno (who took his watermaster raft ), Jerry from Vt and markie ended up landing 14 steelhead for 34 hooked, all on floats... weather was great and so was the fishing, never even made it too the trestle pool before it got dark... We had 3 doubles and one triple ... took a pile of pic's I'll post later after I get them sent to me... Just a spectacular relaxing day on the River ... ;D
Awesome Steelhead Fenwick.. :thumbup_smilie:

SPECTACULAR RELAXING DAY ON THE RIVER !!14 for 34 THAT'S ALMOST COMBAT FISHING !! NICE MAN !! ;D ;D

well I didnt make it up there till 230....and stayed up high till dark, guess I made a mistake. Landed one brown and that was it. Watched Snag drift by on his way to the slaughter....wish I walked a bit further on down the river.
-
That's a nice one there! Sounds like things are heating up a little 8)
-
Man after seeing the recent reports on this thread and getting the report I got today from that "area" on the river, it's making me wanna give up chasing perch & hit some steel! Nice buck snagger! Certainly looks like I've gotta forgo the freezer & go for fun in the next day or two.
-
Nice fish guys. Looking forward to heading up again in a couple weeks. Thanks again shane for helping us this past weekend.

Was that you Ernye at the school house this afternoon? I was just above you. The guy just below you was hitting them on night crawlers.
Sure was...sorry to jump on down there but I didnt see you behind that bank. I walked down to the wires, crossed and fished the school side before crossing again and heading up to the barrel. That guy fishing crawlers was a super lifter...
if everything works out I'll be back up there this afternoon...maybe this wet weather will scare a couple people off. Maybe I'll see you up there
-
There was plenty of room for everybody. I won't be back for a week or two. I was going to walk down and ask you for some pin pointers but you left to quick.

I Ended going 9 for 10 by dark, Jerry went 3 for 7 and Dave went 2 for 2... They had already had a banner day earlier without me.. Jerry and Dave did double digits earlier on there CP's..

It's a Friday and April first .... looks like many people bailed on the trout streams and came here, theres a parking lot full up there, we'll see what happens to the bite later.
What do you mean trout streams? ? ? ? Isn't the SR a trout stream? ? ? ? From the looks of those pics it is!!!! I'd pass on 12-14"ers for 20+"ers too!!!! :clapping: :clapping: :flag: :flag: :thumbup_smilie: :thumbup_smilie: :bowdown: :bowdown:

Fishing definitely got alot trickier this evening with the boats and people , I had to pull out all the stops to come up with a 2 for 7 evening... Me and the lodgers all fished together in the same area along with my buddy deadeyes. Rigged deadeyes up with a noodle rod and float set up, ( his first) and sure enough he was the hot rod and went 2 for 3 with nice browns before me Jerry Paul or Dave even had a fish on .. He had a blast kicking are butts ;D All in all ... we all hooked about the same amount of fish in the end , but worked much harder for them then the previous 2 days... Fished 330pm til 730pm... Dave and Jerry blistered em pretty good earlier.
Deadeyes with his first fish on a float.....

Yesterday the fish at the sportsman's were almost all droppies, from Pineville and the Trestle upstream they were all tight... and there was chrome and droppies in town...so it's all over the board right now... looks like a couple storms starting late Monday and another one later this week, so we'll see how the water shakes out. Hey Jason I get alot of salmon with those crooked or broken backs in the filet station, not sure but I think they get broken backs early in life ...maybe from trollers. Probably end up seeing you today Frank...good luck.. ;D
Heres my new screensaver, fishin above the Sportsman's

those are some really freekin cool pics man ! thanx for shareing ;D

Jr. and I fished from 8:00-1:00, 0-3 for the two of us!! Fish were really picky today! Lot's of fisherman and boats. Good to see SNAGGER and Lambaste'em today!! We hope to see you during the week for an evening run Shane!! Titelines!--KP 8)

Hit the river for a couple hours, 2 for 7, Small simple flies hand tied by a friend, 1 color in particular worked well, same fly different color NADA. Same guy that tied the flies went 7 for 22 yest. Today seemed like they were a bit more line shy, but I guess after getting pounded what do you expect. Particular spot in the run or hole also seemed to make a HUGE difference. If you started you drift or float of by a few feet nada, same hole move up a bit, & wham.

FISHING WAS OH SO SLOW and the fish were very picky.threw everything at em and only on taker!!

Nice Job Erney I see you got your Mojo back... I had a rough morning, fished hard from 7-10am at a spot I hadn't fished in years and only came up with 2 short hook ups.... so climbed out of the river and came home to say good bye too some lodgers, they did really well this morning, after hearing that I had to walk over to the schoolhouse area ...... did 2 for 2 in about 30 minutes and this 42 year old took a nap. Did more River walking this week than I have since I was in my 20's, my knee is banging. Still a bite to the air even though it was sunny.
Hey Kp deadeyes was up with his 6 year old son from 5-7pm, said they hit 3 for 5 where you and Jr. were this morning, he was really happy, nice rappin with you and Jr.!!! ;D
-
Fished from 2 till dark.. I went 7 for 10.. spent some time up top... first spot we hit 15 minutes in ...had a flotilla of drift boats come threw... 6 I think ?? and the spot they came from reloaded with boats so we beat feet down river. Fished a spot by 2A that was a bust... bumped into town and did great... All the steelhead I landed were droppie's...and a couple hen browns. Had a big fish on that smoked me !! Never saw it but I'd bet it was crome. Fun day on the water !!

We started at the Tressel pool and walked down to the bend below... because the bend up top had 2 or 3 boats parked in it.. Didn't see much going on there...

Strolled over to the River around 430pm and fished floats til 730pm, landed 3 for 6 and man what a difference a few degrees in water temp makes, they were fighting hard tonight. One took nearly 15 minutes and a 1/8 mile walk to get in. Didn't bring the camera, but took a tape out and measured this sleek spawned out silver female at 34 1/2 inches long.... great battle.... creeks are ripping from snowmelt with temps in the middle 50's, we escaped most of the heavy rain just to our south ... only 3/8's of an inch so far, so maybe they'll be able to keep the River where it's at for a bit longer.

I had a great day today... and not getting up at 4 AM was a bonus !!

Business sucks! There is no water here to look at!! The rock river is nearby and that's it!! It was cool seeing lake Erie at 36000 feet!!

His shots are amazing, now the only thing is, if he could get the guy that own's a snow covered building in a couple of them, to spend a little more time removing some snow, then we'd have alot more perch & eye's to chase in Oneida. :whistling:

Well we almost escaped the rains, been pouring here the last hour and a half and the radar is reloading... They got alot of room in the Res., but were going to use a chunk of it tomorrow...SOB....

Fished with snag again this afternoon. Went 3 for 5. one nice steelhead and two browns around 17 inches. Weather ended up cooperating too! Im gettin addicted to the ol salmon river, until walleyes at least. TITE LINES HOMEYS-DEAD

Took a drive to check the creeks and Res... Alot of water around.. creeks are ripping from snowmelt and a inch of rain and more snow up top... swamps are full where there isn't snow up higher in elevation near the Res.
Heres a pic of Orwell ... it's flooded , but dropping fast up higher...

Hey Shane,
I took your advice and have a 13' 6" okuma aventa rod coming. Will be back up when I get it. Had to send my waders back to Cabelas also. Had only worn them 4 times and the seams were leaking. I will let you know when I am coming up.

It will be alot easier to cast then that shorter pole you had Kc. But when you walk down the River you'll be looking up alot to make sure theres room to cast it under the trees. I'm actually going to pick up a Cortland 11 6 for fishing in areas that have alot of trees and see how it works out..
Hit the River across the street for a few with my buddy deadeyes this evening , we both landed 2 for 4, they were a little more picky tonight, cold strong winds were howling up the channel... wow were my fingers numb...
-
Shane I had a new 12' Bob James twin tip rod in the truck that day. I am taking that rod back to the Cortland line store for a return. The rod was not that much longer, it was all in the 2' handle. Made it awkward to cast. I will be back up when I get the new rod and it warms up a little.

That Rod you let me cast at the bridge seemed like it was 9 feet, 10 tops... I'm still in search for a certain rod for the upper River short water, I was in the diversions the other day slipping my floats into the rootballs plucking steelhead out of almost everyone I fished ... but the minute a fish spit the hook, in the trees I went, it got frustrating quick, so now I'm looking for a short water float rod. If I don't find one, I'll just put that vectra on a noodle rod.. Take care Kc!!
-
Yes it is a Bob James Barbel Special Twin tip float rod. 80.00 bucks at the Cortland line store.

The euro rods are a bit different... The guides on mine are way to small.. the butt section of the handle is way to long and The first guide is very close to the reel.
You can't go wrong with the aventa it's a cheap rod that works great !! There isn't one bad thing I can say about it...

The 9 foot endurance is nice man. its not as soft as some noodles.

What are you looking for in a rod (length & line rating wise)?
I might have some optionsfor you. ;)

Getting a late start to this year. I'm still kickin', still on heavy duty Chemotherapy, and still trying to get my Ice Fishing gear sorted and put away.
I'll be up in a couple of weeks anyway as I'm feeling better now too. Glad to see the River's still running with good fish and good fisherfolk. Bless you all... ;D
-
Shane the rod I had at the bridge was 10/6. The rod I am returning has 2 different tips with it. One is softer than the other. Also the softer one is white the last 2 feet. The rod is green. As esox said the euro rods are different with a long handle and very small eyes on the tips.

I know it's a little late in the season to be looking into new float rods but.....what do you guys think
11 footers or 13 footers? With this high water this year I have been having a heck of a time with my 13' I've been using, fighting fish and trees at the same time is a pain in @ss to say the very least. i cant tell you how many times i've been putting side pressure on fish and have to figure out a way to get my line or rod unstuck from a tree while keeping a fish on.
How much line control will I actually lose if I cut the rod size down? will I be kicking myself wishing that I stuck with the longer rod? or should I just get both and not worry about it....
-
Hey How have you been Chainsaw? Good I hope !!! ;D
Looks like starting tomorrow we'll start melting the Tug hill snowpack and have it pretty much completed by next Tuesday, if we can make it through the period without any rain we are setting up for a great last 2-3 weeks of April fishing bonanza after a short high water period early next week...

Same reason why I'm buying a second rod Erney , TREES!!!!. I love my 13 footer, feels great when set the hook with that big stick, or give the fish a few pumps while fighting them to get them to jump. But the trees are keeping me from fishing the tight water, I grew up with a fly rod and mono set up for salmon , I can put a #2 split shot in some tight spots.... I think the shorter pole will let me flip that float into the tight spots like a bass guy casting under docks.
Hey Erney yesterday marked my one year anniversary of when I put my spool of 10lb. P-line flouroclear on my CP rig... Think I got my monies worth? :w00t: She's pretty tired , Think I'll re - spool.

Man that sounds cool Addam... Sticking a steelhead with a 8 6 fly rod!!!!!! With the 13 you don't get hook setting power in tight water, just thought the handle would be awkward with a CP........sounds like it's time to take this center pinning to the next level.. 8)

thers a few trade offs you'll make with a shorter rod... some negative. some positive. some negatives are less line controll when having to mend line when fishing across 2 or more current seams. youll have to compensate for the decreased line pick-up when setting the hook as well, with a little stronger hook set. with my 13 1/2 sage, a flick of the wrist is all i need. the shorter rod also compromises leverage and pressure that can be put on a fish in heavier water, unless you go with a stouter build.
the up side of fishing a shorter stick would be less fatigue on the wrist and sholders after a long day of fishing. my 11 foot st croix avid was custom made with a very short rear grip and longer front grip. it looks kind of like a short spey rod and is light as all heck. its a joy to fish with on the salmon river in 500 CFS or less. im looking forward to fishing the lower flows with it for drop backs this spring.
hope this helps,
-
If anybody knows about float rod/reel gear...you da man tim! ;D I ran my pin on my 11' 6" ft noodle rod. After i broke my main float rod. :'( It works...def less fatigue on the arms and back. And it keeps you out of the trees.
-
haha...one year, yeah I dont think that spool owes you anything. To be honest I've been running my pin on a 13' double handed spey rod all year and occasionally an 8wt single handed fly rod....it's an outrageous set up that I wouldnt of put up with for so long but if you dont have the cash you just dont have the cash. Also it makes for a quick change if I get the urge to swing some flies...but it's next to impossible to get any kind of forehand cast with it which really limits where I can get to.
Think I'm gonna go with the 11' for now....
-
:w00t: BINGO!!!!! :w00t:

hows the fishing in pulaski lately ? Anything happining around the long bridge , or town pool ? Going to come up and throw some egg sacks & jigs tomorrrow . Have a bunch of brown / coho eggs all tied up and ready to hook into some steel !!! Was doing okay in oswego on the browns untill the water went up once again. 19,000 A bit high for me .

I did the same thing on an 11ft talon I built up. She balanced out real nice with a short spey type rear handle. I havn't fished it much but its fun and comfortable. :thumbup_smilie:

Quick Wednesday report:
Hit the River again this evening for a couple hours... the evening warm sun turned on a nice flurry, I landed 2 for 5 ... I fished with a couple lodgers, as a group we hit 11 fish pretty quick, great evening... Once it stays warm, there should be a pretty consistant bite for a while.. ;D
-
I don't get the long fore grips on most fixed seat float rod's.. With center pin fishing your hand will never be up there while fishing.. Even with a spinning reel I usually have my hand wrapped around the reel and on the reel seat. Most of the European float rods have a very short foregrip similar to a standard spinning rod . Doesn't seem to serve a purpose to me...

sweat stick DC... 11 ft talon eh?hmm, i think i may have to do a little investigating on that model.
Essox... most of the old school canadians from Ontario and BC fished that style handle as a means of leverage when turning a fish. using their free hand to pull back on the very front part of the grip(called bridging) while pushing the rear towards the fish. i've seen guys shatter rods by bridging with their free hand on the bare part of a rod between the front grip and 1st guide. the cork that far ahead acts as a buffer, preventing too much pressure from being exerted on a small area. my sage has a short fore grip and a long rear grip where i use my fore arm as the leverage point. the longer rear grip on a 13 foot rod balences a lot better depending on the weight of your float reel. the only reason i used the old school type grip on my 11 footer was because i wanted to get as much length as possible out of the 11 foot blank. the handle configuration is pretty neat and serves its purpose. you'll see me with my free hand's pointing finger hooked around the top of the fore grip putting the boots to a fish with side pressure, pulling him back upstream. hopefully, you'll get to see it this spring 8)
-
I grab my blank when I'm horsing fish in , have my whole life, no broken poles yet.. You kind of get the feel of when to lay off over time.. Not telling you nothing you don't know Timdog, sure beats all that cork though for me..... Man I really can put some pressure on those Raven, Cortland and St. Croix blanks, they are beasts. ;D
-
ive seen some pretty neat float rod handles over the years snag. the guy that built my sage (john witzke) used to build rods for his clients with a short, hollowed out peice of wood that matched his custom butt caps and reel seats. he'd slide this peice onto the blank before wrapping the butt section of the rod and it would slide forward, in front of the fore grip, with the guys finger on it whent he wanted to turn a fish.
-
Sounds like cool stuff, I'd be afraid too use something that nice .... Drifter has some really nice lookin work, have you seen it?

I always keep my two fingers on the spool.. pivot my wrist and lock my thumb around the butt section and put the wood to them... I would never grab the rod blank unless it was a meat stick !!

I grab the blank to turn em on to a landing area, usually sideways under a tree... Theres no way to control them other wise, not if you want to get back to fishin... I don't do hero drifts and I don't do long battles, not my style.

sweat stick DC... 11 ft talon eh?hmm, i think i may have to do a little investigating on that model.
I got a sweet deal on the blank from chromedome. I believe the current blank that matches up to it is the tx4. This is a 7wt and it has @ss but is very slow. A good light line and smaller trout/trib rod. I wouldnt use it on the SR but I definatly havn't used it enough to pin it into a category. Probably use it on some walleyes soon... ;D
-
One blank i'd like to check out is the new ones from Mudhole, the MHX series just came out with 5 centerpin/float rod blanks from 10'6" to 14'.
I have used some of the other MHX blanks and am really impressed...
Hey Snag - they make a 11'3" in med-heavy. A guy could really put the wood to em with that... :flex: ;D

Got a 9' 6" I'm building now for bottom bouncing.
Looking forward to laying a beating on it this fall in Alaska.
I built a Rainshadow 9' 6" 4-8# last year but it is a little on the light side, thier 6-10# make a better rod for how I use it.
The problem with the MHX CP rods is they only make them in a 2 pce config. Toting around a 14' two piece rod is not my idea of fun.
I have been in contact with them and they are not going to be making any 3 or 4 pce float blanks. :'(

Took a ride up to the salmon river today ... The Morning started out REAL SLOW ! I walked about a 1/4 mile downstream throwing just about everything I had on a float trying to get a fish to take . Nothing until noon. Later I Hit the pool I started out fishing in the Am but made a change , I Took off the float and bottom bounced for once. Needless to say , I wasnt dissapointed 4 the rest of the afternoon ! I Landed 6 nice steelhead , one brown and About the same # spit the hook on me. Seems around 12 pm a ton of fish started coming down river , dropping back feeding on the huge assortment of insects I saw in & on the water. Here are the pics (https://www.myfishfinder.com/fishing_forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1234.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fff420%2Ffenwick2011%2F032-1.jpg&hash=06cfc29ca369d9a61394c6c55a8b6261)(https://www.myfishfinder.com/fishing_forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1234.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fff420%2Ffenwick2011%2F026-1.jpg&hash=15bc0a64e5a60ce9af8db692fe1cd1e7)(https://www.myfishfinder.com/fishing_forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1234.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fff420%2Ffenwick2011%2F022-1.jpg&hash=a2d13d73e8a798baacd7f6eece7fe88a)(https://www.myfishfinder.com/fishing_forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1234.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fff420%2Ffenwick2011%2F021-1.jpg&hash=db5513b9d24e0d485355fc3e1b5e7510)

Well did a nice 3 hours on the River this evening, another really good bite... I Landed 3 for 7 fishing floats , dumped a few right at shore due to trees, so all quality hook ups, fished with kowboy, his first time on the Salmon River.. Also ran into my man Deadeyes and another friend from the catskills at the pool, Northwoods stopped by for a bit too ...... as a group we hooked up with 23 fish total... Good evening.. ;D

Boston 0-6 with the yankees coming to town ;D ;D
-
How about those red sox 0-5 ;D ;D
Yeah baby like 0-6 now!!! That's a good start. They are slated to have the best record in the AL East. The speculators have been wrong many times before. Look at the O's now. No one called that!!
-
Got a 9' 6" I'm building now for bottom bouncing.
Looking forward to laying a beating on it this fall in Alaska.
I built a Rainshadow 9' 6" 4-8# last year but it is a little on the light side, thier 6-10# make a better rod for how I use it.
The problem with the MHX CP rods is they only make them in a 2 pce config. Toting around a 14' two piece rod is not my idea of fun.
I have been in contact with them and they are not going to be making any 3 or 4 pce float blanks. :'(
Tell me about it. I have the St. Croix 13'er and they don't make a case for it. Two piece is a PITA so for now I'm using the shipping tube to protect it until I can figure something better out. No matter what though you can't shorten it so for travelling it sucks!

thers a few trade offs you'll make with a shorter rod... some negative. some positive. some negatives are less line controll when having to mend line when fishing across 2 or more current seams. youll have to compensate for the decreased line pick-up when setting the hook as well, with a little stronger hook set. with my 13 1/2 sage, a flick of the wrist is all i need. the shorter rod also compromises leverage and pressure that can be put on a fish in heavier water, unless you go with a stouter build.
the up side of fishing a shorter stick would be less fatigue on the wrist and sholders after a long day of fishing. my 11 foot st croix avid was custom made with a very short rear grip and longer front grip. it looks kind of like a short spey rod and is light as all heck. its a joy to fish with on the salmon river in 500 CFS or less. im looking forward to fishing the lower flows with it for drop backs this spring.
hope this helps,
Everything you post helps alot Tim, seems the only time you ever chime in is to congratuate someone on a nice fish, or to provide quality info. to share. Lets get together soon for some river action, before the Waldo season opens back up, then we'll be running into each other quite a bit anyways.

Any suggestions how to set up my St. Croix Legend Ultra 8wt. 4 piece rod for steelie fishing? There is almost no butt on the stick and it has the screw type reel locks. If not a good idea, be honest. I've been thinking about purchasing a "pin" reel. Just don't wanna jump in before I get some good feedback from you's that have had your hands wet with them for some time now.

did u check the fly stop out yet i ordered 44 more RICK
I did....Just waiting for your arrival, so, I can use some of yours!!!! :w00t: I ordered some NY YANKEES flies yesterday....should be an interesting pattern... I should go 27 for 27 on the river that day!!! :bowdown:--KP ;D

how long is the st croix lance? if its under 11 ft, it may not be a practical tool for float fishing a big river like the salmon. thers a lot of good choices out there in factory rods that will serve you well. i say drop the coin now on a quality rod... youll be happy you did. the new st croix avid in the 13 ft is one that comes to mind. the two 12 ft raven matrix rods are a decent stick for the price as well.okuma's float rods are little soft for my taste and i like a more forgiving stick if that tells you anything.a far as a reel, stay away from any thing that has a bushing sytem for bearings. unil you break them in( can take a full season) the start up on them leaves a little to be desired. a good starter combo would be one of the raven reels or the bronze okuma paired with a matrix rod
-
10'-6" noodle rod works well for me with floats!! ;) Not big numbers today like the rest of the RATS have been putting out. But, Landed 1 for 2 today. Fished from 9-12:30, Spent most of my time just learning the float rig, breaking floats and losing rigs in trees!! Starting to look alot like the "slips" down at the river!!!! :w00t: Saw 2 other fish caught while I was there. Jr. and I will make another trip this weekend! Titelines!--KP 8)
-
I use my 9'6 for the time being and it works ... Its not the best and I loose SOME fish when they take their 1rst hard run due to not havving enough shock absorbtion as i would like. But its my 2nd season and my next invstmnt will be a cp. I find ways to make things work when money is tight.

Hey Timdog... It was nice to finally meet you !! I enjoyed BSing with you and look forward to hitting the water.

Congrats to you guys with the awesome pics!! 8) I suck...fished for 4 hr.s yesterday and ended up going 1-1 on a tiny brown. Started down low and went mid-river for the last couple. I heard Altmar was a zoo...wanted to stay out of the crowds. Fished eggs, beads, jigs and pw's. Played with my shots...lenghtened and shortened leaders/bobbers. Tailed a nice 10 lbs dropback steelhead for a guy in town. Took him 15 min.s to land it.

Took a drive a couple times today, WOW!! It might be the most Drift boats I've ever seen in 30+ years of fishing here.. Looked like "salmon season"...man was it jammed... quite a few bankies too, got bored of yard work and the weather was awesome so tried Pulaski for an hour, got one fallfish and called it a day, didn't see any hook ups while I was there... oh well.. not my first zero... Had guys out who said it was tough , most of my guys left yesterday or aren't coming in til tomorrow night, so not many reports to share... great weather day, Sunny and 64 degrees... river temp had to of jumped a good 6 degrees today....
Heres a couple of big ones...

Steve Always seems to put us on fish . My buddie went 8 for 9 . Hitting 2 Awsome browns in the same hole back to back . Was an Awsome day to be on the river a big difference then being here in January. Will post pic when I can figure out how.

Not yesterday, friday. Only 2 browns yesterday. Just kidding with Dave about his bead comment.
I'm not much for numbers anymore, just being on the river is a good day in my book.
-
Nightfisher I took Lambastems son and another guy and his son down to the spot I was at on friday for like 20 minutes to try to get the kids a fish I hooked 3 in about 15 minutes but they were strong they got in the rapids before I could get the rod to the kids. Was fun though. Thats all the time I put in on the river saturday was 15 or 20 minutes lol... I am not to into the huge crowds it looked like salmon season yesterday.
-
Cool that you were trying to get the kids on fish Dave, just bustin on ya, 3 in 15 mins, better then I did all day.

River is going to 1200 at 8:00pm today thru tomorrow. I am coming up in the morning. Any suggestions as to what part of the river in the higher water I should go to? Please feel free to PM me.
Ken
I kind of figured that it was going up a bit, went across the street at last light and man was that River off colored, looked like chauk, could only see maybe 2 feet down.. Looks like the Reservoir is full of murky runoff water.. Fished about 45 minutes tonight, got another zero... time to change from my clear water beads to the dirty water bead colors now....

NICE Dave !! If you think about the things you remember when your a kid... It's things like that..
Crome silver Drop backs for me...caught a brown with what looked like it's kype hanging off. Cartalige and flesh pulled it off and it's mouth looked normal. I've caught a brown the last 7 times up...
Frank tried to get the jump on me... :whistling: :whistling: by leaving me in the car with a hook connected to one of the rods stuck in my arm and no pliers. :cursing: :cursing: Good thing I had a pocket knife on me and popped it out with the tip.Or I'd still be in the car.. ;D ;D
Then he went 3 in his first 4 casts !!!

River going up to make room for this rain?? or ...whats the deal?

River going up to make room for this rain?? or ...whats the deal?
It probably will , just looked at the Trout Brook gauge ... it's still rising from snowmelt...Upper branches up top must be rolling along pretty good.. looking out my window.. River really looks off colored this morning.. Maybe the rain will miss us and they can get it back down soon.. it's still fishable , but I bet 1800 is in our future.
-
Nice fish...I hope the river drops for the weekend its at 1200 now would like to fish it at 750
-
Nice fish Ernye ! Looks like the fishing is going great up there. I will be up there tomorrow am in pulaski . I Hope Theres plenty of fish to keep me occupied .
-
Just took a drive to the Reservoirs.. the lower one is in the trees and the upper one only has 3-4 feet of room left, at 81 degrees right now, the snowmelt from the snow in the woods up there was running down the sides of road bigtime , we got bigger water coming.. I bet it goe's to 2500cfs+, more if we get rain.... The ice on the Res. was actually moving towards the dam, so there's current in there. We'll see what they do up there tonight..

Snagger u think the river is gonna be fishable this weekend or is it gonna take more time to dump all that water

Snagger u think the river is gonna be fishable this weekend or is it gonna take more time to dump all that water
If we don't get much rain from that storm wednesday it should be back down to reasonable level by the weekend , this actually was a perfect melt, had one in March and now the final one... 2 short high water events, is better than 3-4 full weeks at 1800+cfs like some years.
We'll see what they do up there, that's the big question ..... I understood how Niagara mohawk and some of the other power companies ran water, these guys are confusing, I'm still trying to figure them out .
82 degrees outside right now, it's warm.. :o :o
-
only 70 here in RS, will give u acall snagger to see what the rivers like tonight, nice pics guys.

Not much luck for me today. Went to pineville am and went downriver. Nothing. Stopped at the fridge, nothing. Went to Ellis cove and switched to a purple stone fly and 2nd cast was hooked up. Only to have the line break. Two more hook ups and the line broke both times. Will be respooling before I go out again.
Did not see alot of hook ups today. Never got higher than the second wire.
-
did you try your new rod today KC?

I didn't go out , but all the guys here all switched from floats back to bottom drifting, water got colder with this color, seems the float bite is temporarily off...
On a great note, we didn't get one drop of rain today so we may have averted a large water flow...so far there saying 1600cfs through tomorrow, we'll see how they decide to store this water. Broke a record today, Syracuse hit 85 degrees....That should just about do it for the Tug hill snowpack having any major influence on South Sandy or this watershed, what evers left will just gradually fade away...
-
No I didn't use the new rod. With the high water weren't many places I could get in the water and the trees were pretty close. I was afraid I just get hung up and break it. I had hard enough time staying out of the trees with the 8'6" ultra light rod I had. I bottom bounced most of the time. I tried floats in some areas.
Between Ellis and the second wire there were fish laying close to shore as I was leaving. Fishing pressure died off after 3:30. Had the place to my self till I left at 4:30. Forgot to put my sun glasses on until I was ready to leave. Then I saw all those fish laying there.
-
From what I heard it was a much tougher day, everyone here landed a steelhead and had a couple more hook ups drifting the larger pools, but that's it... no one fished the riff's... In my travels today running erron's I did find a spot that was fishing pretty good , we'll see how the guys make out there tomorrow in the bigger water..
Oh forgot to say.. had guys in the fly zones who did really well the last couple days...
-
I caught one today 30" or better that was like 8lbs tops !!
Nice man! Maybe mine was less than 12 lbs. Was bigger than the big one i caught with snag that he estimated at 9 or 10 lbs. Nonetheless i have had a total blast poundin on the steelhead and browns! Talk to u later esox

I was just saying that they are skinny this time of year... The fish I caught would have been a solid 10 or 12 pound er in the fall. The base of the tail was thick. I really have a hard time estimating weight this time of year. Your fish definitely could have been a 12 pounder.... Hope you didn't take it the wrong way.

Tell me about it !! It isn't even May yet... And I'd be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to September even tho that means winters coming and I HATE WINTER :cursing: :cursing:!! I had a blast last year... And now I have a ton of new friends and got the center pin thing down... Going to be fun

Water was high but still fishable today. Started to clear up as the day went on. Hooked 8 and landed 4 fish . Two were REALLY Scrawney and beat up . No fresh fish . Beads and sacks today . Best bite was around noon , and again around 3 . Alot of traffic with the drift boats . While landing the first steelhead of the day , A boat thought it would be a GREAT IDEA to leave the run on the other side of the river and pull right up and anchor right in the run I was fishing . I wasnt 15 ft away unhooking the fish before I looked up and saw them swoop in . What a joke .

I'll do some checking around today bass on , threw my back out yesterday raking gravel, haven't even checked my rain gauge, it doesn't look like the puddles are that bad here at my house, maybe most it missed us while I was sleeping...

What do u think snag, high water through the weekend?
Being that they didn't have any one day dumps of like 2500+cfs and inched there way up everyday from 750 to 1100 to 1600 and eventually 1800, I would say theres no 750 in our future, but I hope they can get it back below 1500 Friday or Saturday...we'll see.
Checked my rain gauge, we got a half inch.....

i pitched a nerve in my neck fishing sunday, havent been able to turn my head for 3 days
A real good friend of mine is a chiropractor and I was anti-chiro till seeing what they have to go through schooling wise. And having a issue like yours once and I let him work on it. It was much better instantly and 100% after 3 visits. He explained what was going on with the vertebre, muscles, and nerve - it made perfect sense...

Another driftboaters paradise today on the River.. 2500cfs plus runoff... Hopefully the Rain Saturday night won't be too bad so we can get this River back down to a more bank angler friendly River. I'd be happy with 1600cfs right now , actually it's no skin off my back , I can fish anytime I want , but I feel bad for the guys that work hard all year and can only fish the River a few times a year and get there trips ruined by high water......it bums me out......
All the gauges look good right now and so did the creeks when I went driving around today, so hopefully the power company will get her down tomorrow evening for the weekend boys...we'll see.... My backs been out the last few days, but I did hobble over to the River and floated a couple experimental beads in a back seem, caught a shorty and lost a nice one in about 20 minutes effort... they are there, just a matter of uncovering the pools and runs....

With the River going big, grabbed some guests from my house and visited my all time favorite creek I been fishing for 30 years, South Sandy Creek..but hadn't been over in a few years. My consular from detox told me to disassociate myself from things that remind me of drinking for a period of 3 years, I spent just about every waking hour over there for decades, so the nostalgia of the place would have made me want to drink, well that 3 years is up and you'll be seeing alot of me over there now ............ Heres a few pic's from South Sandy creek from yesterday

Wow ,the creek looks good. Raining like mad here. We had a great trout opener down here. Rain held off until the afternoon.

With the River going big, grabbed some guests from my house and visited my all time favorite creek I been fishing for 30 years, South Sandy Creek..but hadn't been over in a few years. My consular from detox told me to disassociate myself from things that remind me of drinking for a period of 3 years, I spent just about every waking hour over there for decades, so the nostalgia of the place would have made me want to drink, well that 3 years is up and you'll be seeing alot of me over there now ............ Heres a few pic's from South Sandy creek from yesterday
SNAG,
You have worked super hard...Congrats on the three years!!! :clapping: :clapping: :clapping: :bowdown: :bowdown:
I had/have good intentions of getting up there but...life interferes!

wow i thought it would be higher than that, love fishing there when you hit it just right
-
Cool trout Wirestone!!! :thumbup_smilie:
-
albino?
PA stocks what they call Palomino trout (albino) they don't stand much of a chance in the wild due to their color but they are still cool to catch...Imagine if the NYS DEC stocked Palomino salmon ? what a riot on top of the usual circus that would be.
-
Forecast says 4200cfs through 9pm Monday...100 bucks says it starts dropping today or tonight , it was only flowing about 3500cfs yesterday and we didn't get the monster rains that they are recieving just east of here, man it was a wild storm yesterday, winds..wow!! but we just got graced by the rains.. about 5/8's of an inch here so far........ If that had hit us direct with 2 plus inches, there would of probably been a big water event...real close call!!! Time to start planning around the Wednesday storm..
-
we got slammed down here in Oswego. Rained all day yesterday, into the night and just stopped a couple hours ago. Still pretty windy out there..probably gusting close to 25mph.
-
albino?
High breed golden trout. (palamino)

hope ur right snagger as i have off monday and would like to fish the sr.
-
Yes Shane hope the river comes down for later this week. I'm Coming up Wednesday night to move my camper from storage back onto my land. Then I will have 3 days to fish before heading back home Saturday night. I'll try and stop by and say hi. Going to be coming up with an old friend. He is an old guy. He is the guy that got me into the out sports way back when I was a kid. He has bad legs so if you know of any spots that maybe good to take him to PM me. See you later this week. Bob
-
Well it kept raining for a few more hours last night, ended up with 7/8's of an inch here, probably a touch more up top.. My thoughts last night might have been wishful thinking, we'll see.. Gauges are very high, leaving right now to look at the creeks...
Heres a short video I made last night.

LOL that video is awesome, we were the group just down stream from the Conn boys, (You can see us as we were the ones NOT catching fish once Snagger arrived) I remember watching Snagger use his foot to help land that one steelie and it made me laugh when it happened.
Nice video guys!!

Hey man, I was up there this past weekend.........not the best timing or conditions but we made the best of it. I had one stretch of the Altmar section just below the bridge late on Friday to drift by myself for about an hour.........200 ft. LOL No takers though the river was high and raging. We watched someone in the LFZ that had, we presume, a big brown on. He had the fish on for at least 30 min. and still hadn't landed it so we split out back to Trout brook or Orwell, I forget which one. At least those were fishable. I put away the CP for the rest of the weekend and used the fly rod while Mark used my noodle rod. He got his first steelie yesterday outta Trout brook before we left to come home. He was eager and excited and made a beeline to a hole that he caught some small ones in the day before.
Gillripper may come up in a couple weeks.....I might join him......we'll see. James got that fish in Jordan Creek, PA

I went last year and saw one of those goldens swimming around in the Broadhead but it was running from everyone. No one could catch it. This year I decided NOT to buy a PA license since I didn't catch much in PA anyway. But I hope to on the PA side of the Delaware again this Saturday!!!! Shad are running!! Maybe back up to the SR in a couple weeks but I have some items that must get done soon. If they don't I won't be going.

I Did really well up at the river today. Water was running somewere around 1800cfs and dropped a bit throught the day . Clarity want all that bad either . Dirfting beads & egg sacks along the bottom with minimal weight did the trick . Keeping the bait on a longer 4 lb leader seemed to entice more takes . They didnt wat the bait on the bottom drifting slowly , More like half way through the water coloum . I lost 1/2 a dozen nice fish , they had an amazing amount of energy today !!! Landed 4 fish . 2 on 10 mm beads and the other 2 on sacks . Ran out of eggs after ten am. Seen a couple more hooked on the river . Oh and Those irritating chubs kept tearing up my sacks !!!! Hope to see you out on thursday kowboy. Pst pics later when I rest a bit and dry off. Took a spill trying to run around a bunch of branches to land a fish >:(

Ths sandys are looking good water wise... I wonder if the fishing is any good there..Hummmm ;)

Fished with a bunch of guys staying here at the house, started out slow for me , so me and my buddy Brian from the catskills took off on a little walk and found an amazing 2 1/2 hour bonanza, it was absolutely silly... He landed 8 for 17 and I landed 9 for 20... lots of jumpers and blazing runs and had multiple fish break my 5lb. drennen, so going to 6lb. tomorrow if I fish. Had other guests that fished in other areas, everybody got fish today , they were active , just your still retricted to certain key areas due to big water.. Great afternoon, hope we don't get much rain tonight.

I Did really well up at the river today. Water was running somewere around 1800cfs and dropped a bit throught the day . Clarity want all that bad either . Dirfting beads & egg sacks along the bottom with minimal weight did the trick . Keeping the bait on a longer 4 lb leader seemed to entice more takes . They didnt wat the bait on the bottom drifting slowly , More like half way through the water coloum . I lost 1/2 a dozen nice fish , they had an amazing amount of energy today !!! Landed 4 fish . 2 on 10 mm beads and the other 2 on sacks . Ran out of eggs after ten am. Seen a couple more hooked on the river . Oh and Those irritating chubs kept tearing up my sacks !!!! Hope to see you out on thursday kowboy. Pst pics later when I rest a bit and dry off. Took a spill trying to run around a bunch of branches to land a fish >:(
Great job Fenwick, :thumbup_smilie: Our fish were rising 1-2 feet to hit the bead also , drifted them well off bottom.

Geez, Good luck staying dry Snagger. What's up with Brookfield? Still at 1800? 2+"s here in Mexico, another 1/2 coming today only one dry day friday, then another front Sat? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the ground hasn't been dry in well over a week here, so the hill I'm sure is worse. I have 2 jobs waiting on some at least semi-dry soil. 1 I'm gonna have to force tomm. Backfilling a foundation and regrading with a bobcat, when it's this wet it's often like trying to spread cold peanut butter with a fork on soft bread. When so many people make their living based on weather, precip, & soil conditions can figure out how to get the job done, you'd figure "scientists" should also be able to figure it out.

It figures high water and was coming up tomarrow after i got out of work. Snagger good thing u got some backup gear as it looks like now it will b saturday will b the next shot at comingup. Tell Chris ill give him acall today, but wont b up till maybe saturday if the water isnt high. First 16hr shift done 4hrs of sleep then backup for another 16 Kowboys off to get some shut eye. Congrats guys on the bonanza

Here are the piccs from yesterday ... Tomorrow I am going to go with a 6 lb leader vs a 5lb. Those fish were rocketing across , up and down river like bullets !!! Need to bulk up the gear a bit to land them horses ! Enjoy and I hope tomorrow will be under 2500 CFS . Im only fishing a few ft off of the shore so it doesnt matter how much water is roaring down the river as long as Im fishing the head of the pools .

All good just busy.... no word on the water yet , they will wait and try to ruin my weekend... I don't go down easy though... What's happening KP?... Creeks are flooding good in the area, but not out of the ordinary, so looks like the ground could handle it a little better than a couple weeks ago..
Nice Job Fenwick!!! :thumbup_smilie: I almost stopped there yesterday for an hour!!!

Sounds like they picked a number out of a hat with rain in the forecast because it was Friday and they don't work weekends. Stocking is getting close as well , maybe they were preparing for a big drop to 335 which is now interupted....who knows, they got me confused this year...

Well the reservoir is full..full... hope we don't get alot of rain this weekend being they are still running less water then is coming in... very wet up there, little evaporation with the cold temps... Looks like the weekend could be a bust, hope we get lucky.

365123 THE SALMON RIVER AT LIGHTHOUSE HILL
PUBLISHED ON APR 21, 2011 AT 17:47:14 - EXPIRES APR 22 9:00 PM
For the Salmon River at Brookfield Renewable Power's Lighthouse Hill Dam, Altmar, NY. The following predictions are for flows in the river just below the powerhouse unless otherwise noted.
Information about the timing of water level changes downstream of the powerhouse is included after the forecast.
Spill gates have been closed but stations are still at maximum output due to significant flows. Do not venture into the water until flows have receded further.
Flows have now receded to within station discharge capabilities and spill gates have been closed, but stations are still at maximum output due to significant flows. Be especially alert and use extreme caution near the river.
Until 9:00 PM today, 1,800 CFS
From 9:00 PM today until 9:00 PM tomorrow, Fri, 1,500 CFS
All published flows are approximate and forecasts are estimated based upon anticipated energy demand and costs in addition to weather conditions. Actual flows will vary and can change quickly at any time. Stay alert and wear an approved flotation device. Never go in or near the water until you know and accept the risks you are assuming by entering this area!

do these guys look at the weather at all, i agree with icegeek 100 percent, why do they always play with danger up there? run that sucker for a day or 2 and get some room to work with

2250? With the ground so saturated, all tribs, & low lying areas everywhere still above banks, 1 dry day friday, then 30-70% rain chances for a week & snagger's pics of the res to the top. 2250 even sounds questionable.

like snag said you cant figure out there reasoning, i thought a few weeks back when the res was down and they changed the flow up and down they learned there lesson , guess not, hopefully snag and other people around the river dont have to feel the blunt of there stupidity again

Would have been nice to have 2500 today and yesterday then maybe 1500 for the weekend after they have made a foot or so of room.., now guys will make plans and if it rains good Friday night , they will be blown out this weekend....Theres more to this ... somebody wants that water down, I understand holding the Res. maxed out after it's well into the Month of May, but they can't be trying to hold our September salmon water already, not with how wet it's been.....
Hopefully it won't rain now , that's all I can say...

yes.... cold night tonight will slow the tribs, but that's as maxed out as it gets except during a flood event.. If it don't rain big ... we are cool , but if it does .. then they run the risk of a high water event on a weekend when you have the most people in the area fishing...

by high water you mean 3000 right not 10000 plus right

Whats up boys. Snag, gonna b up tomorrow hopefully by 2 or so. Hopefully earlier. BINGO!!!
-

All I'm saying is the ground's saturated and theres still time to fill the Res. if it's down a foot or 2, but that room might save you from a freak cluster of 2am thunderstorms that no one in Albany sees til it's too late..

Good job Frank on reaching 60 for the season!!! :thumbup_smilie:... you had a better morning than I had an afternoon, a buddy called and said it was crazy, but when I showed up ... it died...zero at that spot for me , so packed up and fished across the street for an hour and went 2 for 3 on fresh looking skinny droppies, good fighters, they are recovering nicely...My buddy Brian did the same numbers...

For an hr or better i was catching great fish about every third cast. I didnt want to leave but easter dinner and my shoulders took abeating. Every fish was over 29 inches. There was people around me and drift boats anchored and i was the only one catching fish. My fish were jumping right by the drift boats it was hilarious. Finally everyone left or went down river and i was still catching them. Thanks snagger if it wasnt for u and some of the other guys i wouldnt b doing this. This fish i kept was 30 inches and solid, what agreat and long battle.

yes we had to work for our numbers but it was and is the funest time, when you find them. Now that the Oswego County is under a flood watch Oh Boy... :'( might have been my last weekend...
Snag, HT did a look back in his records. Last May 7th is when we're hit the droppies with you.. Looks like we'll walleye fishing if the River and the lake is open for boat traffic on the 7th this year..

I think my last day on the River last year was May 20th....but this bead thing was new to me then , and anything new to me I beat to death, I'm ready for walleyes this year, Got 2 rods being built right now for eyes... but I'll try to time a couple more bonanza's before they all drop back to the Lake.. Wonder if any Atlantic's will show up if we get bigger water?

Rob, do you fish the Lehigh or the Little Lehigh? I know it's no Salmon River, but need something to do in the off season.
-
I haven't fished the Lehigh in a few years, but when we were fishing it the numbers of trout we were catching were in good numbers and good quality. A few associations over the last ten+ years have ben stocking it well, the top end of the Lehigh is still the best water. If you call Snagger ask him for Paul's number from Pa, he has a drift boat and does trips on the Lehigh.

From 9:00 PM today until 9:00 PM tomorrow, Tue, 3,250 CFS

Yup should have raised it from 1800 last week instead of lowering it to 1500....I don't get their logic at all....
-
KP it was so crazy i didnt keep count, but if u figure every third cast for over an hr im going to say around 25 hookups. being new to this it was when i got the perfect drift i was getting the bite 90 percent of the time. i still had about 40 minutes left before i had to get to easter dinner and my shoulders and arms said no way so i left early. lol sorry i missed u would have liked to meet up with u. Bryan

A guy i met yesterday said that when they get ready to open the gates at the hatchery they flood the river so the fish have an easier way to the lake is this true?
those fish have no problem going anywhere in the river if its running over 900, and even at 500 there are only a few spots that what beat them up a little bit, ive never heard that, but the sr in april is above 900 anyway
-
A guy i met yesterday said that when they get ready to open the gates at the hatchery they flood the river so the fish have an easier way to the lake is this true?
Those fish leave the ladders over a course of many days, sometimes weeks, they don't move the River around for dropbacks... If the gates are opened at the holding tanks, they leave when they are ready, they aren't pushed out or anything.. I been catching alot of silver dropbacks in the upper River with marks on there heads( from rubbing the cement walls), I would say those gates are open right now. Ask Fran, I think they might fluctuate the waters before and after stocking, also around lampriciding...
-
Fished Pineville today for about 45 minutes..went 3 for 4...one big 13lber... then drove to the trestle..went 1 for 1 in about an hour, then drove back to Altmar and went 1 for 2 in about 45 minutes... stopped at the 2a and short bridge in Pulaski on the way to the bank, fishermen locked everywhere I stopped.... Fished with my buddy Brian between 4-7 pm...... Driftboats did alot of afternoon damage, but we still got fish,... Brian did about the same numbers,...... pretty much can get fish anywhere you go...
-
Not at 3250cfs???? Can you? LOL I know I didnt have much luck with it half that!!
Hope everyone is well!!

Well we got hit with just off and on showers last night....anything with meat to it stayed well south or east... we got 1/4 to 3/8's of an inch of rain.. nothing really compared to last week's storms , just fed the plants and trees.... still got Thunderstorms in the forecast for the next 3 days, we'll see what the scientists up top do with the water....well a week late, but atleast they made a little room up there in case the storms get rough around here this week.....

You need a 1) tripod 2) most times a circular polarizer and 3) a camera that can go to full manual mode. Bump up your F number real high (F18, 22) this knocks down the amount of light that reaches the camera's sensor. Then keep your shutter open for 1/4, 1/2, 1 or 2-3-4 seconds and you get those type of shots.
Here's a 1/2 second exposure:

A lot depends on how bright it is outside, how much the water is flowing, etc. Practice, you'll get used to it.

KP it was so crazy i didnt keep count, but if u figure every third cast for over an hr im going to say around 25 hookups. being new to this it was when i got the perfect drift i was getting the bite 90 percent of the time. i still had about 40 minutes left before i had to get to easter dinner and my shoulders and arms said no way so i left early. lol sorry i missed u would have liked to meet up with u. Bryan
Didn't take you long to figure the river and the steelhead out. Congrats on that Bryan! :bowdown: I'm glad you took the advice from me and asked to hookup with SNAGGER...You had a great teacher to show you the ropes. ;) I'm still learning, just need to get on the river more....and, I only live 15 minutes away!! :P Let us know when you come again, we'll try and hookup with you then!!! Titelines!!--KP 8)

Nice job CNR... I used to take pictures as a side Job for my uncle in the late 80's...he owned a shop called campus photo service at Cornell university. I used to shoot fraternity and sorority parties, then they would order larger photo's after we showed them the proof sheets. Forgot everything I used to know, cool seeing you show the guys the technicals. My uncle is in the hospital right now and probably isn't going to be around much longer.. Thanks for the memories bud!!! :D
Radar is lit up like a Christmas tree right now...well back to yard work!!

God Bless your Uncle Shane!! Great photos CnR!! I actually had my river gear in the truck......1/2 hour ago, been rumbling pretty good with this storm going thru, decided not the night to fish!!--KP

Another spectacular lightning show just ended, poured again....
I agree... bet it goes back to 1800 through Friday, that's just from todays rain considering they dumped 3300 last night ... We still got that stuff that destroyed the midwest today to come through tomorrow and Thursday....

Well I bet it stays at 15-1800cfs a bit longer now, they did dump about 12 hours of 3300cfs ahead of this storm to make room because a flood watch was issued Monday... Just looked at the gauge for Fish creek, didn't get as high as I thought it might, still raging though..
This River has been above 750cfs since March 3rd, half those days above 1500cfs and 3 times over 3,000.. probably the most consectutive days of high water since they started regulating water in 1990, I can't remember 93's charts, this might not be bigger water, but much longer I'm sure.... We ended up with 1.8 inches of rain yesterday total...

I can't wait for the River to go back to 500 to wrestle with some big Atlantic's, but that's still a little ways out yet... maybe by next Monday if these monsoons ever end!!

Yea.... Tell me about it !! The river comes up another foot and I'm sleeping with one eye open... you guys above the ditch got it worse than me... the camps on the west shore got to be close to being wet !! docks a foot from going under and than never happens.... All it takes is Cayuga or Seneca lake to get pounded....
On a brighter note.... Looks like the walleye spot around the corner from you is going to hold fish a long time this year !!
Thunder has started here.... :unsure: :unsure: :unsure: :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:

Hey Esox the Oswego River is at 25,600cfs and rising 1000cfs per day...another 8,000cfs to go to match the Big 1993 flood.. Oneida Lake and Cayuga Lake are headed for flooding... I was driving for UPS in 93, had to wear waders to do my route....

Yea... I was here in 93.. it's getting close... My house is up high so I've got a ways to go ... but Im out on a point that the current plows into..so I got to worry about trees and docks..Big stuff should start coming down soon. waters come up 3 " since I woke up 16" more its at my foundation.

Waters just starting to creep across the Altmar parking lot in the last 30 minutes, She's high , but not bad considering the massive flooding occurring every where else around us...

still want to know what would make an atlantic move up stream this time of year?
-
You guys got more the us down here. Rained hard here this afternoon. Checked the gauge on the creek . 3' in 2 hrs. That will move the fish around. ;D

-

Good question.!!
I grew up on Cayuga Lake and if we got big rains this time of year, they would run Fall Creek in good numbers. We would catch them on all sorts of things, eggs up stream and minnows downstream.. In the 80's we thought they were just feeding on smelt, but after the smelt populations crashed in the early 90's , they still ran the streams, only to leave after it got too warm. They would stay til June if it was a cold spring, we would get them under the falls fishing for smallmouth sometimes.
Last year there was a high water event on the Salmon River around the last week of June and litterally hundreds were present when the River went down in early July. I didn't fish for them , but heard it was insane for about a week... Maybe it's some sort of pre spawn staging thing, not all the fish run in summer, but a good chunk...They spawn in November, so coming in this early would be like Steelhead coming in in September only to spawn in February I guess..
The River is still at 4,000cfs...grounds saturated and creeks fell slower today then in the past, should be 1500 plus for a few days after they drop this tomorrow I would think.

thanks snagger. Thats very interesting. Wished i lived a little farther north now lol

Good question.!!
I grew up on Cayuga Lake and if we got big rains this time of year, they would run Fall Creek in good numbers. We would catch them on all sorts of things, eggs up stream and minnows downstream.. In the 80's we thought they were just feeding on smelt, but after the smelt populations crashed in the early 90's , they still ran the streams, only to leave after it got too warm. They would stay til June if it was a cold spring, we would get them under the falls fishing for smallmouth sometimes.
Last year there was a high water event on the Salmon River around the last week of June and litterally hundreds were present when the River went down in early July. I didn't fish for them , but heard it was insane for about a week... Maybe it's some sort of pre spawn staging thing, not all the fish run in summer, but a good chunk...They spawn in November, so coming in this early would be like Steelhead coming in in September only to spawn in February I guess..
The River is still at 4,000cfs...grounds saturated and creeks fell slower today then in the past, should be 1500 plus for a few days after they drop this tomorrow I would think.
Interesting - looks like they've always come up in early summer at some point:
""In October, 1836, two men took [on the Salmon River at Pulaski] two hundred and thirty Salmon between 8 p.m. and 12, with spears and fire-jacks, and after 12 til morning two other men in the same skiff took two hundred odd, the average weight of the entire lot weigh fourteen and three-quarters pounds. We have had fifteen hundred fresh Salmon in the fish-house at one time. When a freshet occurred [sic] in June few would always come up, and sometimes a few early in the spring. Any time from June till winter when there was a freshet they were sure to come. The principal time, however was in Fall, during September, October and November. Twelve skiff in one night have taken an average of three hundred Salmon each" (Goode, 1884:473)."
-
And - what I also always found interesting is the fact that Oneida Lake would get Atlantics in it too...the journals also talk about the parasites on the fish in the gills too (that affect the current population of Steelhead)
Supper that night was at Mrs. Jackson's Tavern at the eastern end of Oneida Lake near the mouth of Fish Creek.
"A number of canoes darting through the lake after fish in a dark night, with lighted flambeax of pine knots fixed on elevated iron frames, make a very picturesque and pleasant exhibition ... Here we met with an Indian canoe, filled with eels, salmon and a monstrous cat-fish ... On returning to the house, we found an excellent supper prepared; the principal dish was salmon, dressed in various ways" (p62).
Note that salmon composed three of the four main meals for these two days.
"The salmon come into this lake in May, and continue til winter. They are said to eat nothing. This is the season of their excellence. They formerly sold for one shilling a piece; now the current price is sixpence a pound. The salmon are annoyed by an insect called a tick, and run into the cold spring brooks for relief" (p 62-3).
The reference here may be to a copepod parasite, Salmonicola (?), but movement into cool water seems likely to have been to avoid high lake-water temperatures. In a later account, Clinton (1822:169) clarified the matter by stating that the parasites
" ... fix on the gills and fins, and eat the latter so that the fish can hardly swim."

Hey CNR, I see your very interested in Atlantic's.. Heres a picture from way back of my personal best from Cayuga Lake.. I believe it's still the biggest ever tagged by the DEC or Cornell in Cayuga Lake... I've never heard of one caught bigger than this one, weighed it on a certified wegman's scale.

hey snagger , had an awsome weekend on the lake had a double sat. and one today yesterday was a little tough had to find them and dial them in the whole shoreline from the river to stoney creek was mud ..... i found um and gave them a little bit of torture and ended up limiting out on both trips ... today we went back and they were right where we left um but in tight a lot less mud and great temp 50 flat the whole way ...... ut oh waldo's are going to snap soon!!!!
-
I'll be putting all the gear on the living room floor this week and getting it ready.. Last year I did steelies most of May, this year it looks like waldo's and smallmouth. I've had enough steelhead for a while, if it comes down I might go again, but without a driftboat I'd rather be getting something constructive done... Glad your still whooping on them out there!! Great year on the Lake!!!
Oh .... Nice Turkey mrs Kowboy!!! :thumbup_smilie:

Here we go again, they are dropping it during a big storm , already over a half inch here in 4 hours, much more coming, unless they made a pile of room she's probably going back to 1800 plus runoff ....
Hey Fenwick , I know where you like to fish, could be a short window this afternoon, just after the water drop and before the runoff from creeks reaches your pool bonanza, then after this evening she'll be murky and high for a couple days.

With all this talk about the seals lately i thought i would give my brother some credit for his service, he also loves to fish and was a Navy Seal for 22 years spent his first 3 years in regular navy then found out about buds and the seals and never looked back. He re signed twice after 20 years to stay in and help over in the middle east, ended up retiring at 25 years as a chief. The last 4 years he was in he jumped with the Navy Seal leap frogs, got a cool picture of him with David Letterman in Iraq, and three i took from the back door of a C-130 over Long Island, Jones Beach for the air show. He is the one on the right at the door and the second one out.

It was an hour of hookups and fish spitting the hook today around 1 or 2 pm. Hooked into 10 or so fish .... Snapped 3 nice fish off at the shore trying to get the camera ready and not paying attention to the drag . One of those days !!! Landded one fish out of ten today . bottom bouncing Beads . 2 fish hit egg sacks but they did not seem to want them today . One fish jumped atleast 7 or 8 times CLEAR out of the water , couldnt believe it ! It rained on and off , morning was clear . Good day anyways . Yep , I dont know what it is about that hole but i like the way when fish come through , they come in groups. Still need to get to know the rest of the river system but proably wont untill that hole stops producing. Fish on kowboy ! will be up thursday .

Looks like a pretty big system is moving through....hope it doesnt dump too much more, would hate to see the river go up to 2500. temps are staying cool for the next couple of days...maybe we can squeeze a couple more droppies out of her before the fork is officially stuck.
Just stopped raining here, for now. nice pictures lehigh
-
whats really funny about the pics is the us military gas cans , i love it, wish i could of done some fishing during the 42 months ive spent in those nice friendly lands of the middle east and south asia

With all this talk about the seals lately i thought i would give my brother some credit for his service, he also loves to fish and was a Navy Seal for 22 years spent his first 3 years in regular navy then found out about buds and the seals and never looked back. He re signed twice after 20 years to stay in and help over in the middle east, ended up retiring at 25 years as a chief. The last 4 years he was in he jumped with the Navy Seal leap frogs, got a cool picture of him with David Letterman in Iraq, and three i took from the back door of a C-130 over Long Island, Jones Beach for the air show. He is the one on the right at the door and the second one out.

GREAT PICS LH!!! Thanks for taking the time to share them, you must be very proud. I'm a navy vet myself and I am humbled by these great men that make the ultimate sacrifice. God bless our troops!!!!!

Enough already with the rain, will someone knockout the guy doing the rain dance. LOL Ive looked at the radar and its going to rain looks like all day. Well im going fishing today on the sr. I may get soaked but im going to enjoy my time off with some fishing, so if anyone is out good luck.
-
Just looked at the gauges, looks like the River is running around 2100cfs from the Trestle pool down, about 2300 from the Sportsman pool down and about 2400-2500 in Pulaski... If they have no water increase tonight, these tributaries will gradually fall today and tonight letting the River get back to a more normal level... We'll see...I'm not saying the River's unfishable by any means, I just don't enjoy traveling all over and hole hopping and fishing back seams above 1800cfs. If you enjoy long hikes and no people ... this is your River this year. tight lines...
-
Just checked my rain gauge, ended up with 2.1 inches.

Hope it does go down by tomorrow. Supposed to be a good day to get out so Im going to take advantage ! Hope your out slaying em kowboy ...

Some guy put a clinic on up to South Sandy with night crawlers the last time I was up there, the droppies are hungry!!
-
Great fish ! nice going today kowboy . I do both . I have been bottom bouncing but not really bouncing, more like swinging flies but with beads in the slack water. I dont like the feel of throwing on a half ounce or more lead . like keeping it to a minium. Was float fishing in the fall and got the hang of things up in the Oz but seem to not do it in the salmon river.

the ooz was awesome for float bite in nov
-
Might b the same guy because he was putting on ashow, every couple minutes he was yelling fish on, although he seemed to lose alot, hed have them on for afew seconds then theyd b gone, he was saying they were letting go of the bite.
-
didnt really ask him about the setup but it looked like the same thing i use except no bead just a big crawler on the hook, does that seem right
-

sounds right, everytime ive used crawlers in the spring i get tons of hook ups but lose alot of fish, need a bigger hook, fish hits the crawler then spits it after a few secs
-
Question why would the fish spit the worm unless he feels the hook, so u would think ud need smaller hook or with abigger hook would u get abetter setting of the hook
-

he feels the resistance but hasnt been hooked yet, bigger hook usually they will hook themselves when they hit, i usually run a size 6 when using pink worms and a 4 when using crawlers, im not a fan of those tiny hooks, even using beads ill use a 6 or 8, those size 12 hooks i have no confidence in, all personal prefrence

-
oh this time of yr yeah those droppies love everything, but live bait they really like, just they are a pain , plastic breaks and you have wrms in the pockets of your vest or jacket. well have to do some ice fishing next yr, saw your truck at apps alot. me and stormy always said we know whos that is, lol
-
yea that sounds good looking forward to fishing oneida for my 2nd yr, just not wanting the cold weather here to quick. LOL

Creel survey.
DEC creel surveys show Salmon River steelhead fishing is quite impressive lately
Published: Friday, April 22, 2011, 4:30 PM Updated: Friday, April 22, 2011, 4:46 PM
By David Figura/The Post-Standard The Post-Standard
The following is a press release from the Oswego tourism department, written by Outdoors Writer Spider Rybaak.
Lake Ontario ranks as the most productive salmonid fishery in the Lower 48 States. In fact, the world record coho salmon, a species native to the Pacific Ocean, was caught in the Salmon River near the village of Pulaski.
And right when the fishing seemed about as good as it gets in Oswego County, creel surveys conducted last fall by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation show a dramatic increase in steelhead numbers.
In its “2010 Salmon River Creel Survey” report, DEC provides graphs comparing creel survey results taken in 2005, 2006 and 2010. Last year, from Sept. 7 through the fourth week of November, anglers reported catching 32,146 steelies, compared to only 7,738 taken in the same period in 2005 and 9,509 in 2006.
If you do the math, you‘ll see more “chromers” were taken in the fall of 2010 than were taken from September through May, in 2005 and 2006 combined.
The rainbow trout’s anadromous form (living most of its life in the sea and returning to natal rivers to spawn), the steelhead is streamlined, colorful and extremely powerful. Famed for its incredible stamina and leaping abilities when hooked, it boasts top honors in the imaginations of the world’s salmonid anglers.
Each fall and winter it ascends streams ranging in size from brooks to major rivers like the Oswego and Salmon in search of its favorite food, salmon caviar. In the spring, it runs the same streams to spawn.
In the process, it offers anglers roughly eight months of opportunities for close and personal encounters with trophies the size of the ones swimming through their dreams.
The reason given for the huge increase in steelhead depends on who you talk to. Some think that current economic conditions lead to more people fishing, and the more anglers you have out there, the more fish are going to be caught.
Others attribute the greater numbers of steelhead to the explosion in the population of round gobies and other exotic forage. The way they see it, the more gobies and zooplankton there are for predators like cormorants, mink, catfish and game fish to prey on, the more alewives and other minnows there are for trout.
DEC aquatic biologist Scott Prindle, one of the survey authors, says “…indications were that there were LOTS [his emphasis] of steelhead around compared to the recent past.”
Prindle just finished working the steelhead egg take at the Salmon River Hatchery in Altmar, where there were “abundant fish stacked up in Beaverbrook Dam trying to get into the hatchery.”
Samples taken at the Salmon River Hatchery this spring indicate that the fish are somewhat smaller in size, but, Prindle added, “we will have to wait until the scale aging is completed to see if the steelhead are actually smaller, or if the population is weighted heavily towards younger fish.”
No matter how you cut it, one thing’s for certain -- greater numbers of steelhead, even small ones, indicate a promising future -- for the steelies, the anglers with trophies on the brain, and the communities along the Salmon and Oswego Rivers.
They left out more than doubling the steelhead stockings.

The following list reflects fish distribution for January 1 - December 31, 2009. The fish are stocked with help from County Federated Sportsmen.

I read that Snag....I also read Figura's write up last fall on the Waldo bite. He spent some time on the North shore, rubbing elbows with the locals that would feed him info. Next thing ya know there is people coming from the woodwork, trying to portray exactly what he posted in the paper. I fished next to a couple of them last fall...quite comical. I guess Dave has a job to do. :D
-
Dave Figura has got to be one of the worst 'outdoors' writers I have ever had the displeasure of reading. Everytime you open an article it's his first time doing something (first time fly fishing, first time hunting, first time fishing for walleye's, first time fishing on Skaneateles lake, etc). Kelly was so much better, because he actually had a history of doing outdoors stuff and then could write about it. I think Dave was writing in the classifieds section of the newspaper and then got thrown into this Outdoors section because they had nowhere else to put him. All he does is find some locals to spotburn and spoonfeed him and then writes an article that destroys whatever hole/area/stream you were fishing in.
-
So it wasn't just me.. I thought it felt kind of strange how it was written...Usually creel surveys or anything from the DEC is usually just facts, this sounded like a sales pitch or something.
I fished the River just about every day from April 3rd til May 20th and again Nov. 1st -Dec. 14th and I never was surveyed or have I ever been surveyed in 30+ years , so I would take any of those trib numbers with a grain of salt.
I'm very interested to see how the Seine netting goes this spring after all the repeated high waters since last October, gravel bars have been shifted almost weekly if not monthly...

Absoutely, like I lead onto, it seems as he has some agenda with his column, that would be better suited for a person with more passion and general knowledge of being an "outdoorsman". Instead of chasing the real ones around, and/or writing from research instead of doing it. Just my thought...whether right or wrong. Still, Dave is a nice enough guy to talk to. Met him last fall on the north shore.
-
Northwoods got blown off the big Lake in the late morning and invited me and Chris for a drift boat ride... My back was killing me from humping gravel for over a week, so we took him up on the offer.
Started out plugging, nailed 4 for 6 from the bridge to the school in the first 30 minutes, then switched to floats.. We had alot of action on floats , it was hard to keep track of how many, but we probably had atleast 20 good ones, landed a dozen and some 14-16 inch browns, a couple 12 inch Atlantic's and a bunch of weird size short steelies in the 7-16 inch range...
All in all a good afternoon,,.. fished 2-7pm...and seen alot of fish on nests still , so it ain't over yet... Water was still kind of big, floated over many areas that we should have fished..... it says 1200cfs on the usgs page, but it's 2000cfs, believe me. Thanks Markie, had fun.. now it's time for wallies....

Great to see you guys out with Mark. :thumbup_smilie: I have to get up for some eyes. ::) Fishing down here with Caddis. We are fly fishing now. ;D

Not a big fan of Figura but Kelly was bad ! If you didn't wine and dine him or take him on a productive trip, you'd never hear a peep out of him about anything. His weekly fishing reports were lame ! If it wasn't about fly fishing, you rarely heard anything good.
At least Figura has ventured out into ther shooting sports, hiking, mushroom hunting, kayaking and other outdoor activities. Figura also highlites the kids and kids in the outdoors ! No lose situation right there.
His big blunder to date is the the Horseshoe Island crappie fishing article a couple seasons ago.
He got led around by his short hairs on that one ! ;)

-
River dropped around 9am and Chris and Jerry hit them pretty good.... now they are taking a ride down with Markie...should be a great day, just enough of a breeze to keep the black flies in check, but still warm out... Chris and Jerry went 3 for 11 this am in 2 hours. Should be a little crowded this weekend with the LOTAC guys in town, so today's a good window to hit the "Drop"...

Snagger, empty your mailbox. :nono:

-
Caught lots of little rainbows and browns, had a nice steelie on for a while till it broke off. finally found a pocket and went 5 for 6 on 16-19 in silver steelies. The new rig took some time to get used to, but I'm comfortable with it now. Good times, may get one more trip in ::)
Gotta get back on the road, theres walleyes to be caught. 8)

Hey NF they are hitting the bead pretty good on the Broadhead. Was out this morning. Got a few nice ones.Was looking for the big Palamino I hooked yesterday.
-
Hey kowboy , you out today fishing the river ? You should have stayed at the spot. It was slow going all morning though. Around 12:30 things changed and I moved to the other side were you usally fish. Everyone else left at noon. I started fishing the mid river instedad of the shore seams. The river def. dropped . I started hooking fish right off of that rock in front of the house. I lost about 6 fish and one was a solid ten lb fish ! It came screaming right next to me and almost hit me in the face when it jumped out of the water ! Lost alot of fish in the tail out of the pool . Couldnt manage anything with a 6 lb leader so... Nothing on the night crawlers either after the one i lost in the morning. I stuck with the bead and they were slaming it . Bottom bouncing again. That one male was half dead wasnt it ! looked like a salmon ready to disinagrate...

River is nice now!! I hook a bunch today to fenwick.. Your right on with the 6lb test!! could hold them!! Landed two nice fish and a bunch of those odd sized fish.. Bright Bright 12-15 inch bows that Snag was talking about.. they look like Stockies you get in the streams around Syracuse.. Will post the picture later.
-
I usualy use 5 lb ultra green mono leader or a 6 lb flouro seguar but i was low on leader material the last 2 x's out. I was using 4lb triliene mono and it just wasnt cutting it ! in some areas I can hold onto fish with straight 4 but fishing at the tail end of a pool is challenging. I have also notices a BUNCH of short 8 - 16 inch fish this year. Kowboy was raking them in the other day ;D I haven't seen too many fish over ten lbs in the past month but some . Wasn't able to fish oswego for drop backs this year due to the water levels . Fall is coming ! We might a couple of weeks left of the spring but the weather is going to stay warm now Im thinking.
-
Just noticed the Rivers down to 900cfs , slept part of the day away from walleye fishin last night.. Sounds like the fishin is still decent..
No rain in the forecast!!!! ;D

Went to the river today and did great was 8 for 13. this hog was ablast to fight, had to pass some guys going down stream to get him landed. Snagger was good to see u. Got Colleen a rod from snagger she wants to get into it now. She used mine today when i took abreak and she did real well but its alittle long for her so snagger hooked her up with her own pole.

Mondays report ... Started fishing around 8 am . A few people around but not too bad. Bottom bounced beads with good results . Fish were holding more in the current than the seams seince the river dropped last week. Lost a few fish but landed 5 nice fish. Nothing huge but fun. Hopefully I will get a chance to tangle with an atlantic this year. Saw one caught on worms .Really nice looking fish, Hope to meet you there on friday Kowboy . Let me know what your plans are.

Nice fish fenwick and ct boys, was out today and was slow was 0 for 1, that one being ahog that broke me off after acouple jumps. 5 other guys were fishing across from me and didnt have any fish on. Water was pretty low havent fished it that low, but ill learn. Colleen got her new pole out and was doing pretty good. Black flies were out in force and the sun was hot, but i was out fishing so it was agood day. Think ill chase the thunder chickens tomarrow
-
Chasing thunder chickens 5am .....be on river till dark kaboom!!!!!!
-
Well i just saw that the river is going up to 900, may take arun up tomarrow, give colleen another shot at taking her first steelie. Fenwick howd u do after i talked to u?
-
hey , I did well . Landed 5 before noon with 3 being nice fish but nothing over 6 lbs . In the afternoon I went to find deeper water with some current seince the river was barley moving . Found group of fish and hit a few every 20 mins or so . I lost alot of fish fishing the faster water but thats what it took to get a few hook ups in the sunny after noon.
-
Just getting back from the river. It was higher then it was the other day and afew black flies but now the mosquitos were out dive bombing us. lol Snagg thanks for the resupply. We caught 5 but they were all small 7 8 inches. Lot of people would stop for awhile then move on.
-
Weekly soccer report! Both Megan and Jr. had great games, but, both came up short today. Both teams lost. :-\ Megan kept 3 goals from going in on defense. Jr. had an assist and 1 goal. Another great day from both of them!! Titelines to all!--KP 8)
-
Wassss up! Fished the last hour and half b4 dark on wednesday. Had a heck of a time. Between snaggin bottom and catchin smallies it was def uneventful, should have stayed home and assulted some waldos!
-
KP thanks for the weekly update on the games. Deadeyez have had the same luck the past 2 times up on the river. Being that its my first yr not sure if the fish werent biting or the time is done for the steelies. The water was at 900 on sat and me and colleen had agood day but nothing bigger then 8 inches, like i said to her its skill to catch something that small lol
-
the last bunch of fish are proably going to be running to the lake now with all the rain. Was really looking to catch an atlantic this year . Proably going to keep at it untill I do. Wonder if theres any domestics that stay in the river during the summer like in oswego ?

At some point those Atlantic's will show up.. Last year we didn't have all this high water, but there was a very big 4,000cfs event on June 30th and when it went down, there was 2 balls of Atlantic's..One at Ellis cove and another in the upper fly zone.. I Heard it was really good fishing for a couple weeks.. Alot of 4-14lb browns came in also, but most of those were hanging out in the lower fly zone, which is closed in the summer. This year the pools are larger since the big flood in October, so who knows where they'll set up, and with all this high water..when.. The days of hundreds of skamanian's coming in in June are pretty much over, most come in now in late August and September with the pacific salmon.
-
Thats what i kind of thought . I have never heard of anyone catching a steelhead in mid summer but Im sure a few come in with a good rain ... Hope the atlantics do make a comeback ! Might as well break out the jig heads and start tying up some marabou's for the fall ! Looking forward to it .

He went 1 for 1, i managed 2 for 2 on steelies with a few small trout mixed in.

Good job nightfisher!!!....strange seeing the green leaves...
I tried the other day across the street , but the bugs were just too much...heard the long bridge was good when it was down in the am , but steelhead ran there course with me a couple weeks ago... I'm ready for some Oneida Lake smallmouth action..
Hey Fenwick over the years I've seen very few hold over rainbows in this River, well nothing worth driving long distance for anyways , what fish that do come in during the summer months seek out pools with cool springs up river, they are easy to find if you wade without waders. I can remember timing a few big pods of July skams at the staircase in the 90's that was pretty exciting. If you fly fish, check the upper zone.....

Weekly soccer report! Megan and Jr. both had great games today! Meg contributed well for her team with 3 blocks to save the ball from going in the goal and had one shot at a goal!!! :clapping: Jr. had an assist and 1 goal, we got nervous in the 3rd quarter, when he was going for the ball for a shot at goal....when he collided with a player from the opposite team, he went down with out a fight though, He still tried to kick the ball, while lying on the ground about 15' from the goal box to score and then got kicked pretty good in the knee!! We took him to the sidelines for ice......30 seconds later wanted back in, coach put him back in, He scored the tying goal to end the game!!! :bowdown: :clapping: :thumbup_smilie: Both a scary moment and a proud day for Mom and Dad!!! LIFE IS GOOD!! Titelines to all!!--KP 8)
Kowboy, I hope you and Colleen had a great day on the SR!!!! :)

Hey guys, after a tough april trip to SR with water flows up and over 5,000 cfs during my trip I want to come back in the fall.
How is Sept 14-17th for the salmon run. Are the kings in the river heavy at that time of year. If not what is the best Weds-Sat to plan for them.
Thanks for the help

it all depends on weather and water flow, there will be kings in the river then. will you be there for the day 3000 kings run the river, who knows
-
too right adam , i would say that is my fav time of year to go after salmon there tho and if they arent flyin up the river during the day fish the deepest pools you know there and the fish will be there . the dsr is a good bet there , it can get alot of early mornin false runs from the estuary and you get 2 shots at the fish if they fall back :o .
-
last yr i was in the dsr labor day weekend, i bet 1500 fish hit the river that day, you just never know, but last week of sept your sure to find some fish mid river

how is the Skamania Steelhead fishing in the summer or better to just wait until the real steel enters in the fall

how is the Skamania Steelhead fishing in the summer or better to just wait until the real steel enters in the fall
Fran Verdoliva told me 2 summers ago that the hatchery no longer has the funding needed to put some sort of blankets or something to trick Skamania River Strain Steelhead into coming in during the summers months on the Salmon River. I can't quite remember what he exactly told me, something about tricking a premature egg take or something... but you get the idea...We were talking and I told him I don't see the big pod's of summer steelhead I used too during the 90's and especially almost no June or July steelhead the last 3 or 4 summers and that we were seeing alot them coming in with the Labor day water release early run of Kings instead.
Being that our steelhead population is getting so large now, they come in in one shape or form from Labor day right straight through December now, They used to show up about 2 thirds of the way through our salmon run in early october, now they are present all the time once the fish start running.. The last 2 weeks of October are still king though.. November aint shabby either.

Heres a general rule of Thumb salmon season
Late August..east winds flip the lake over and a few minor runs of kings and trout occur down low
Laborday weekend water release... sometimes not much, but the last 3 years have had great king runs, a few skams, browns, a few coho's The fish staged in the estuary days ahead of the water release from strong east winds.
Labor day through about September 20th or so, minor runs about 3-4 days apart, sometimes a major run.. plus all your coho runs occur usually during this time... these are the runs you remember, wet wading in shorts by yourself hooking a 100 fish and no one believes you...good times if you hit it right..
From about september 25th through columbus day all your kings and remaining coho's come in along with your first major runs of steelhead down river, but very crowded.

Very good read thanks snag

Never knew they put brookies in the Salmon River....anyone ever catch any with any size, or is this one of those "best kept secrets"??? I got a camp on the Tug off Jackson Rd, couple real nice brook trout steams run right thru our property and it's not uncommon to catch upwards of 100 a day after a good summer rain, but a 10" fish is considered a monster. I'd love to find a few bigger ones
-
I would think there talking about the upper Salmon River above the Res. near your camp on Rt. 2.

Nope, probably either the north or the south branch over by redfield osceola area.

I have fished those streams throughout Redfield and Osceola since I was a kid. My personal best was a 13" brookie. I have hooked and dumped some real beauties also. The " Best Kept Secret" I can tell you is.....HIKE!! Get away from the access spots and go deep!! The fish get hammered at the access sites. Oh, bring lots of bug spray...Monster skeeters in them woods!!! ;D
Always enjoy your knowledge and readings Shane...Good stuff!--KP ;)

i have caught brookies in the res. they come down from the north and south branches, especily if the water is high after stocking

Are the ones from the branches got anymore size to them than the stream runners? I have never fished the res. for them.--KP

Never fished the res. myself for brookies, but have fished the North Branch often. Usually all I get for brook trout is the typical 9-10" stockers and the smaller natives. Have caught some browns and if you hit it just right in September, I've gotten some real dandy rainbows... ;)

Somebody already posted this , but figured I would put it hear too.

(http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/73762.html)
Only law I can see that I have a problem with...is the 1 brown trout limit.. Now if the DEC has plans on reducing stocking to Lake Ontario or something in those lines due to budget cuts down the road then it might make sense, but if they don't.. I feel the one brown trout limit is not fair to the working man who has a familly/bills and limited time to fish and wants to keep his 3 when he gets a chance to fish.. Alot people probably feel too many guys are raping browns in the small tribs out west for there eggs for steelhead fishing later. Now people will just push the eggs out and injure the fish then release it. Ask the DEC, theres no big natural reproduction going on in those small creeks and if there is it would only take a handful to do the job.
Now reducing the Brown Trout limit on the Salmon River really won't change much, most people don't catch 3 anyway, but it could push this River closer to a brown trout River rather than the great Steelhead River it is now.. At $4 a gallon for gas and ever higher property taxes, it kind of seems unfair to the average angler or older fisherman on a fixed income who may want to keep 2 browns and one steelhead on his only trip to our region. my 2 cents
-
You beat me to it Snagger ... was just going to post that here.. ;D ;D Maybe the 1 fish limit on steelhead is causes people to keep 3 browns... I mean If im dropping big coin to come and play and I eat fish.. I think it like to bring home more than two fillets.
I ask myself What The next progression in these regulations...Stamps to keep a certain amount per year... catch and release only... One step closer to the edge... Soon as this passes the push will be on..It will not stop..
I don't think it's necessary... and I hope the term cookie cutter brown is not a thing of the future..
I really don't eat fish so it really wouldn't make much difference to me (other than the average size will drop) but I know alot of guys that do.
-
Snagger thanks for the info. It hard to fill the feaver of fishing the salmon river in new jersey haha. Getting the itch to head north. Do u know ne thing about the walleyes up that way we have been catching 5 to 8lbs hear in n ew jersey at night from shore I hurd something about walking the walls up in oswego do u know nething about that. Thanks for helping I am new to the whole form thing.

Oswego River has been at an incredible 18-28,000 cfs for litterally months.. it's pretty much unfishable for walleye ... I would imagine to everyone except maybe a few locals who might know of some sort of back water area or something... go catch some stripers.. ;D
-
Makes no cense to me . The population of browns in lake ontario and tribs. look to be very healthy! On average the males I caught last year and at the begining of this year were 8 - 12 lbs. Also had a few that went 15 poss. a bit more. I dont see why they would take a limit of three fish down to 1 ... I really dont know much about the steelhead fishing in the 80's and 90's before the 3 fish limit was brought down to 1 . Alot of people have said the average size has dropped but numbers are up . Would that have anything to do with the limit change or just the stocking of more fish .
-
Plus if they are saying that Cretain groups are requesting this due to seeing a abundance of taking Brown trout , Wouldn't this mean that the fishery is doing well enough to sustain the harvest of theese fish the way it is ??? I could be wrong though, I would hope they have a good reason to change things other than seeing people keeping fish .
-
"certain groups" scares me.. could it be the charter "group" ? 2 on the boat, 2 paying customers.= 4 browns.. Enough for the boat for a day but 1 fish not enough for the single fisherman...

I'm not going to be popular with this comment but here it goes... Fly fishing purists , people who haven't fished this area very long and don't remember the old days, elitists, catch and release finatics are the ones pushing for this.. They have been for a long time. These guys pushed through the 1 steelhead limit back when there was very little public in put, TU and other organisations were a big influence back then. They would be so happy if all our water ways were total C & R and or private and posted to the public, it's there long term goal, DSR keeps getting larger all the time, the fly zones were invented then expanded, atleast this time around the average guy might have a say in what happens to our tributaries...
Most guys who talk the most have only been fishing the River in the last 6 or 7 years and have been spoiled by the increased numbers of fish they hook and want to hook even more at any cost. Lots of these fish die anyway from repeatedly being hooked over and over or from extreme weather patterns anyway. If successful this fishery will turn into a cookie cutter factory like Lake Erie.
-
I'm all for solid conservation, so somebody show me why this is needed other than making the fly and bobber boys repeatedly hook more fish.
Hey Fenwick.. do you know why I stopped fishing this year early..couldn't take catching one more cookie cutter, atleast in the old days when you had to work for them or do your homework to time a run, you had variety.. I landed 13 steelhead over 20lbs in the 90's, I've landed 1 since and that was in 2001.
-
I am hoping it doesn't ...Thanks for the info , I havent been fishing the salmon all that long but have fished the oswego for a long time now. I would hate to see alot of the areas open to the public to get smaller in the SR , Its allready crowded enough on the river during mid winter ! We do have a great fishery and I enjoy fishing both rivers but I find myself going back to oswego most of the time . The one thing about that place is the Water flow is the only thing that changes. People stay away during high flows and I know the place real well. The fish dont get molested as much during the winter months besides a few drift boat guides . Its not the best scenery though.
-
Out of proably 35 steelhead this spring I proably landed three that went 8-9 lbs all the rest were 5 - 6 lbs. It gets boring after a while but I am a hardcore " Early " Steelhead fisherman so i keep coming back. In the fall , the lower river was good fishing but still a over abundence of Cookie cutter fish , But with alot of 10 -15 lb fish too. After fall , the size went down but numbers didn't. And the number of fishermen never diminished like I thought it would...

Sounds to me, they think, that it's all about them, with thier ways of thinking. I don't understand why when all is going well with our fisheries, somebody is always quick to brainstorm and come up with another regulation. I don't think 3 fish limits of browns is going to kill the brown trout population any. Heck, I don't think a 3 fish limit on Steelhead would hurt that population any either. If it ain't broke....don't mess with it!! Seems as though the locals need to voice their minds on this subject ...NOW!! God, only knows what will be left for the younger generation :-\--KP 8)

I'm all for great hook up numbers, but it has gotten boring..your right. How many days can you hook the same 7lb steelhead over and over..I would have voted for a 2 steelhead limit back then, now they triple the Steelhead stockings too boot...great for the economy, but is it great for the sport?
-

Numerous Lake Ontario tributary anglers and organized angling groups have repeatedly requested this regulation change, citing personal observations of "over harvest" of brown trout. A reduction in the brown trout creel limit would reduce harvest and subsequently increase angler catch rates/satisfaction
THIS MAKES NO SENCE.....personal obsevation of over harvest.... Since when do we change the rules because of peoples or special intrest groups personal veiws on what is over harvesting... SHOW ME THE DANG SCIENTIFIC DATA...
THIS "PROGRESSIVE" BULL CRAP NEEDS TO STOP !!

I would much rather fish the South Sandy of 1993 than the one now, your bobber might not have gone under every third cast like it does now, but man were there some true tanks back then..... People appreciated your advice back then, and truely worked hard to be called a steelheader. Now it's like fishing a fish bowl for sunfish at times it's so easy and half the stuck up snobs now don't even say good afternoon......

Would i love to be able to catch 40+ fish a day only 3 hours away insteada the 5+ to Erie, it'd be nice, but NO. I go up there for a shot at a 15-20#+ brown or steelie. I rarely go up after salmon season anymore due to the C&R, I own the river, ect attitudes by many. Atleast in Erie if I keep a few fish I'm not looked down upon by guys who probably couldn't catch a cold if they went to the west coast to fish for chrome. Hell, I've talked to plenty of pinners and fly guys out there who release all the fish just the same after I throw a legal fish on a rope as I did before I landed it ;D ;D Granted theres still a few who feel every fish needs to be released but its nowhere near as many as I run into on the LO tribs.
In the short term it might be good for the local economies but if they keep stocking as many with much fewer going out how long till the fishery crashes? Then what? Most of the crowds will die off when you have to work all day for 2-3 fish during the peak season and only the true diehards will be left and all those guys who fought to "preserve" the trout will be the first to complain about how theres no fish left and they should once again lower limits to preserve what remains of it ::) ::)

Yea I hear u got one 25lbs out of kingston and been getting hybrids in local lakes. thanks for all the info tho really cool!!!!

I started steelhead fishing in the late 80's with my uncle . I remeber the fishing was alot different then compared to now . We would run up to the river , he would supply me with the basics and let me go off on my own for half of the day. " He wasn't really the father figure / Teacher kind of guy with alcoholisim and other things but he was a good uncle. He wanted me to get out and learn on my own and go through the frusturations of fishing to learn. I Would hook a fish every few trips but I was by no means doing well ! lol . I would always look forward to dusk when I knew he would be coming from up river ... He would ALWAYS have Atleast One HUGE steelie and a brown. I mean every trip ... I guesss My point Is It was challenging , Even if I was as skilled as I am now .The fish were BIG and maybee there was smaller poulation but the fishing was still great. I would also like the idea of the 2 steel limit " Even though I rarley keep my 1 but it makes sence to me . The one brown in the tribs. Is just changing A reg. that works just fine . The Brown trout sizes and populations are Phenominal at the present time ! I have great days out on the salmon river don't get me wrong but hooking up 20 times a day and landing 15 steelies with most being the same size seems to be less of a challenge IMO But some might think it's great. I like a challenge. Fishing 4 a few hours and hooking into a monster steel and maybee 2 or 3 quality fish hookups for the rest of the day is a challenge and REWARDING ! Also snag. Has stated allready , the river is being chopped apart bit by bit and making public acess areas smaller every year. This will just make the fishing pressure go up in certain areas but I guess the conveyor belt of med sized fish is what the majority want to catch. Now that I am seriously into steelheading , Im going to have to re think my fishing tactics & areas to fish . I really hope SR doesnt turn into a 5 - 10 lb steelhead fishery. Maybee things will work out fine , i HOPE .
-
fly fishing for steel is a challenge as is, even with the increase in the number of fish. I dedicated the winter before this past to strictly swinging flies and sure I caught fish but there would be days and maybe even a week where I would go without even a grab.
I could have went to the LFZ put on a few split shot and ripped a leader through a bucket of fish but that's not fly fishing in my opinion. But to some I suppose it is...it's really a strange thing.
Decreasing the creel limit just keeps the bucket more full for a longer period of time, until the fish dies from being caught a half dozen times every day for a few days straight, and floats down river where I get to view the last few gasping gulps.
Keep your head up, all those dead fish are good food for the one's that make it ;)
-
I am with esoxv, where is the proof!! On both rivers I have never seen anybody keeping 4 or 5 Browns.. Even in the Creeks Nothing.. Most people go by the Rules From what I see. LOTAC and the other Groups out there want it there way and that's it.. Wait, Just wait... One fish limits one Trout.. HA... Last fall Snagger and I must have caught 15 11 inch Steelies and all the rest where 2-7lbs.. Nothing like back in the day of a 10 pounder being a small fish...lol.. Hell a 10 pounder is a slob now. We'll have a great run of trout in a few years before it crashes of Finger lake sized sublegal Trout runing the River.
In a perfect world a Two fish Steelie limit would be nice and keep the Browns at three (in Any Combo) and a five fish Salmon limit in the river.. The River won't stink so much!!!!
It's funny that it's only in the Tribs.. What about lake limits? Why don't the lake fishermen get slapped? You get 6 guys in one boat X 3 make 18 X 7 make 126 a week.... X that by 6 weeks for Browns makes 756 fish per Capt if they are on fish. But thats ok..... my 2 cents!

You said it all right there Erney. Spey has become so popular in the last 6 or 7 years .. yet it is so ineffective at getting steelhead 90% of the time. These guys want a chuck full River of cookie cutters to increase there odds, whether it's sound fisheries or not. These tribs are not the beaver kill or the Delaware and never will be. These guys look down on everybody around them , I've never met such rude and negative people..negativity spreads negativity....this river and other tribs used to be so much fun, now they are clicky and everyone is a fisheries biologist...

Your giving us way to much juice....I wish lotac had this much power in our time together ...but you can keep talking and assuming things go right ahead....I'll keep putting in my time blood and sweat to the river I love so much while you keep taking and taking...you no why I'm going here cause I don't see anyone else stepping up and doing the things were doing....

I never realized the river was in such Dire straights... :cookoo: :cookoo: :cookoo:

Taking and taking? Its boring now. Catching 15 steelies in a day and none over 8 lbs. Not fun. How long have u fished the river? Back in the early 90' s if u hooked one in feb u had a good day. As far as browns seriously. The lake is stupid full of them. Frank how browns have I given you this spring on like 5 trips. Did you see the vid of reelsilver? 8 rods all firing at once? Its put and take just like the kings now we pay for the stockings why can't we take them. There is no natural reproduction of browns in the salmon river and never has there been. To be honest I don't think there is for any fish this yr. Cause guess what when the water goes up the reeds and eggs go down river with everything else it the water path
-
fished the river a couple times the past year,
strung up my limit some days, let em go others, all legal,
saw my share of floaters come down too,
not sure if it was the pictures in the floaty boats,
or the repeated C&R elsewise,

No natural repo huh you better hit the surveys and reports a little...there's more natural repo now then ever before!!!!

and the ones I let go,
they swam away strong,

Yeah stick the surveys. That high water washed every reed in ellis cove down to the port buddy
-
Don't get me wrong I love the river, but when I can go for a couple hours and bang a few to a dozen trout, thats good. What do you expect everyday a 100 hookup day? If you're not catching fish it's because you SU%$, not because there's not enough.
-
And there is more now cause they stock a million steelhead so more fish enter the river. But natrual reproduction has nothing to do with the numbers being up

Besides how is a new limit gonna help? I'd hazard a guess "floaters" impact the numbers more than the rope. People that have no idea how to handle a fish, nor understand that if it's outa the water for 5 mins while their buddy gets the camera, then tossed back like a dink perch it aint gonna make it. BTW I kept ZERO fish from the rivers this yr & only a couple bright silver lake fish. I'd rather eat perch.

That's what I remember seeing,
-
Addam there is plenty of natural reproduction, but the one thing I've debated til I'm blue in the face in the past, is that it only takes a handful of adult spawners to replenish a tributary system, any Tributary system can only handle so much fry before it becomes overwhelmed and most will end up being food or just die. More Catch and release does not make a better fishery, it just gives more opportunities to the anglers in the area for a longer period of time. But if these fish survive all the repeated torture of being hooked over and over and the stress of spawning and return to the lakes to feed once again, now the DEC doesn't understand or know the predator / prey balance that is so important to avoid a bait collapse, like what occurred in Lake Michigan and Huron.. If I remember corectly they had a cookie cutter problem just before the lake crashed.
-
I know there is natural reproduction. But that isn't the reason why any fool can have a 10 hook up day on steelies now. Even I had some double digit days this yr. Lol.
-
What we don't need is like snag said. A lake Michigan situation here. A 20 lber is a big king there now. What a shame
-
Found some new stocking numbers for the Salmon River...Man they keeep stocking more and more and more steelhead each year...back in the 90's it was as low as 49,000 with a target of 100-120,000, now it's gone above 200,00 to 274,000 in 2009 and now a staggering 361,010 fish...can you say cookie cutters!!!
1 fish limits..catch and release , ect ..... ...what a bunch of smoke that is...

BTW I kept ZERO fish from the rivers this yr & only a couple bright silver lake fish.
I think the C&R thing is getting a bit out of hand....I choose not to keep and fish... but I have no problem with people stringing them up... I have to tell you... it makes me want to puke watching all the floaters coming down. Maybe we should start a proper catch and release school for knuckle wads !!

They stocked this many and you only hooked 10...you "Suck".. :w00t:
Hey hey easy now. We aren't talking about how bad I suck. Were talking about people from 4 hrs away saying what is good for the river
-
It's not his fault he's a Yankee's fan, that make's you hemorage brain cells.
Hey bcons I was just starting to like you. And your gonna beat on me. Where's trapper I need some back up

I thought I was being nice, I could have brought up the Oneida walleye stocking numbers.. :w00t:

The river you love? Maybe if you learned to fish it instead of love it you'd notice there's plenty of fish.
Learn how to fish that's a good one....I've been fishing that river my whole life...I never said there's not plenty of fish and I also am gonna say I would put on a clinic around you with my cp you would just keep hearing baaaaaboooom!!!!!!
-
All I'm saying....is you better be careful what you wish for C and R guys. With the Atlantic's all of a sudden becoming successful for some unknown reason, and god forbid those slimy long living lakers ever get back out of the cellar, there might be too much for this gin clear planton less lake to handle if we aren't careful.

I hear Mary Kay & Avon do Some nice clinics Home Parties too, do you make home visits?
-
The one thing I've noticed this time around, is that everyone who makes there living off these fish are against it... back when the steelhead limits were considered many of us wanted a 2 fish compromise, we were denied...god bless america...
-
Would that be from you're head exploding?
No my float going under while I'm hero drifting all day long right in front of you
-
Baaaaboooom? Hear alot of noises on the river. But baaaboom is something I never heard there. Maybe afghanistan but not the salmon river. Now ziiinnnggg would of been better
-
I just realized that the people talking and ranting about making theese changes in The Salmon river In " NEW YORK " Are Mostly from OTHER STATES !!! How and why would they listen to people that live in other states ??? And I was thinking the same thing .... The more steelhead stocked , and the cutting of the limit will kill off the forage base for these fish to produce decent sizes. Thats why the fish cant sustain a normal growth rate compared to the 80's and early 90's. More fish , the more they eat and so on . I would think the people of new york would have the first say in the limits and suggestions on what is good for the fishery .

I fished that river all winter for 3 months straight and I clearly see nothing wrong with the steel ... Yea there's a lot of smaller fish around now but that comes with a bigger pop...just like every other species..but this has to do with the browns they obviously see something wrong with the return in them...

One of the main reasons why we had such problems with Steelhead in the late 90's was we had a record biomass of adult Lake trout, right now due to hatchery problems out west and them having problems spawning due to zebbra and quagga muscles clogging up there spawning grounds, they are at record low levels. They did studies at Cornell university about the corilation between lake trout populations and the resulting affects on surrounding trout and salmon populations. When one was up, the others were down.. We would be in huge trouble if they ever got healthy again, now that the muscles have gobled up all the zooplancton.

just so you know bcons is about to put I clinic on you with words
Nah I'm tired need some sleep & sparring with this guy I'd feel like Adam Vinatieri in an az kicking contest with a 1 legged man. These "purists" really crack me up though......
-
GOBIES !!
that's still unknown, but could be true, that would account for there posible successful spawn 2 years, but not for the numbers...I think Canada is over stocking them personally.
-
well its okay to express an opinion especially if its about our fishery. but you can get wrapped up in words that dont do much... It would be more Entertaining if more elietists chime in though !
-
Yea... these can turn into a stupid fest real fast... Like lightning fast if bcons is involved... ;D ;D
:-*

And I lived in ny my whole life ...I just moved to pennsltucky ,but I also live in redfield ny 3months out of year to fish and feed my habit of catching steel! So yea I've been doing this along time
-
that's still unknown, but could be true, that would accout for there posible successful spawn 2 years, but not for the numbers...I think Canada is over stocking them personally.
Yea.. they are stocking the SNOT out of them and I think they tend.. not to find their way home.... You would half to believe... The browns and LL have to feed heavily on them in the spring and fall when they are close to shore.
-
It would be more Entertaining if more elietists chime in though !
OH... you wait Fenwick there will be a couple more..
-
..but this has to do with the browns they obviously see something wrong with the return in them...
Doesn't the DEC say under Rationale,
"tributary anglers and organized angling groups have repeatedly requested this regulation change, citing personal observations of "over harvest" of brown trout"
I don't hear science or return, just speculations,
,,,,kaboom

Monic I believe the State in an attempt to increase licence sales is behind this, not solid fisheries science, they are going to allow 3 rods per man also to increase angler success on the lake , maybe they want angler success to increase to raise more money on the tribs.. This is not about the fisheries. It's either special interests or money or both.

lots of nice atlantics caught this year trolling for browns, all over the south shore of the lake

You wanna call me a elists huh guess you never met me...I'm a local more than you think and I'll keep floatfishin while you bottom scratching...elists you gotta be kidding me I've been up there fishing more winters and in the shitiest weather while you were catching sunnies in your shanty

bring me one to try... i loved landlocks, used to fill the freezer when I lived on Cayuga Lake, i bet these ones don't taste as good though, probably be my first and last, worth a try though..

who are you talking too
-
My biggest problem with all this is the principle. The "purists" screaming about doing something. To me the idiocy is astounding. Anyone & everyone who fishes for Salmonids in the river or tribs is interferring with the spawning run. These are lake fish, not river fish. I grew up in NH a state that has closed seasons based on runs, other states do too. The only way to be a "real Purist" would be to oppose all fishing in tribs from labor day to eye opener. BY screaming & hollering about doing something because...........Because what? They close seasons for other fish, if you're a real purist, is that what you want for these? What's the difference? A double standard doesn't make something twice as right, it merely makes you a hypocrit. At least PETA is consistent with their idiocy, river activists are all over the board.
-

Very good point snag ...I personally think this should of been thought out much more before this decision..
-
The fact is, everyone argueing with each other rarely keeps a brown trout or steelhead in the tribs...ironic
Now I'm going to have to take 6 guys with me to get my brownie eggs for sacs.
tornado footage on TV..good bye..
-
guy on LOU made a good point , that if they want to do this fine, but for the guys that travel far maybe once a yr making a pass they could buy to keep say 10 fish, instead of 2 for a weekend, kinda makes sense. guys come from PA or Jersey and take a drift trip for 300 bucks and get to go home with 1 browns and 1 steelie, that kinda sucks

True , I dont eat any trout . only panfish . O well , things are going to change regardless of whats said . Allright , things have gotton off base here. C - you all later.

6 guys, 3 rods, 18 fish ?
ooops, did I write that outloud ?

You dont know me , and I dont fish for numbers ... But I do produce them ! I deleted my post because I went a bit overboard so im going to leave it at that. And If you really did see me there , I catch fish . I dont need to impress anyone . Bottom line is I love fishing the salmon river and osweego for both fish. I dont want to see things change from what they are . Thats all but Its not in my hands .

why are you voting for the lower limit then ?

Yea.. but the fact is... the cookie cutter fish that come with the limit change.. SUCK !! Might as well fish the fingerlakes and keep my money here.

Yeah I'll take the Browns from the lake Adam.. If you get an extra Atlantic after you get Snagg's I would like to try one.
It's all a bunch of crap in my book... 12/21/2012 THE END!

I've fished many a winters for SR steelhead going back to the 80's.
Call me greedy, call me a crusty old curmudgeon,
BUTT
personally I prefer the "good Ole Days" when you were lucky to encounter more than a handful of Steelhead Diehards on the river (all dressed like the Unibomber), and were lucky to get to play with a fish or two or three per day. Sure the numbers were not there, but you had a good chance of hooking into a Bruizer that approached that magical 20lb mark.
Flash forward to today - the upper river looks like a walmart parking lot, the same fish are caught over & over & over again, some of the best mid-river waters have become privatized, more stupid regs being written every year.
Used to be that I had to stand on the Rte 52 bridge and look upstream to witness a pack of sjoulder to shoulder jokers.
Now it seems you a get a 360deg view of the nonsense no matter where you go on the river.
I have no interest in driving 5.5 hrs to Erie to catch small fish and battle mind-numbing crowds and posted property signs everywhere, (made one trip and that was enough for me).
I am at the point where I have no great desire to make the 3 hr drive to catch Poolaski Practice-Dummy Steelhead.
Darn shame if you ask me - the SR is a beautiful stretch of water, the folks up there are cool, but the decisions being made are not good for the overall fishery.
Another perfect example of how special interests screw things up.
Sure, my money won't make a big difference - but I have a funny feeling that I am not the only long-distance fisherman that finally thinks enough is enough.
I agree with Esox and Snagger 100% - the DEC and ELISTISTS have screwed the pooch - AGAIN.
-
bring me one to try... i loved landlocks, used to fill the freezer when I lived on Cayuga Lake, i bet these ones don't taste as good though, probably be my first and last, worth a try though..
just smear some of that "1000 herb & spice" Mudshark glaze on the fillets,
it makes anything taste great... ;D

The 1 brown limit will help the lake fishery. With the kings not showing up in the East end of the lake until late the past couple years, charter captains have been forced to chase browns. Gotta have something for them to catch to keep the business going. On the other hand,the Oak, Sandy Creek (hamlin) and Bert get raped every fall and then the following spring / summer are horrible fishing in the lake. This past fall, the brown runs were late and they were left alone in the West tribs (thanks to the early cold and freeze). This spring, the West end of the lake has been awesome for Browns. Just like the 1 steelhead limit, everyone will complain at first but when they see how much better the fish numbers will be, they will be pleased with the outcome.
-
Charter boats need something to fish for? Spring browns are easier to find than Hemp clothing at a PETA rally. Look at the posts. For more than a month anyone can grab em off the jedi's with a spoon. I took my kids down a few yrs back for their 1st shore casting for browns, and they were using some no-name brand wally world cheapos, before I even set my stuff down one yells "Got one". Look at the vids on youtube of spring trolling, even on a bad day you can find a few fish. Everyday can't be good sorry. Without those tough days what defines a good day? Besides personally I thought fishing was fishing, & while tough bites can be frustrating, for some of us it only makes the sense of accomplishment that much better when you do overcome it. No matter how hard you try you can't legislate or regulate fishing success. What if you turn the place into a giant fish bowl, some people will still suck, they'll still complain they're not getting as many.
-
I already said I don't keep river fish, but I've met lots that do, to each his own. You all have seen the trucks from downstate, PA, & NJ with the coolers on the storage racks. Bad economy, expensive gas, $70 licenses, etc????? Now tell them they can keep 1 fish? How many local biz's depend on those guys with the coolers? How much does Oswego county depend on the tax revenue? Every yr it seems someone comes up with another way to tell these guys to Get Bent, while poking a stick in their eye. It's simple if ya wanna see 900000000 fish in the river, look at the river between Labor day & Oct 15. Then ask yourself why do you fish for trout anyway? Are they bigger? Hmmmmm, me it's because they ARE in fact harder to get. If everyday was as easy as Salmon would trout fishing be as much fun?
-
I'm not really sure where I stand on the proposed regs. changes, but I'm surprised not one person brings up the fact that it is still not recommended that you eat ANY brown trout over 20" harvested from Lake Ontario or the surrounding tribs - let alone, 3, 6, or 387 a year.

OMG !! SEE guys the lake needs more fish so Fisherman and Charter captains that SUCK.. can have an equal opportunity !! This crap is happening with everything... because we have a generation of babies and losers... That have to have everything handed to them.... I wanna puke

unfortunately, your words will fall on the deaf ears - including the big ones at the DEC.

don't do it in the riva - one of the "witnesses" that talked the DEC into proposing the 1 Brown Limit may see you and drop a dime on you for illegal chumming :laugh:

I think people are well aware of these guide lines, when I was younger a personel from Cornell told me that they grind the whole fish for these guide lines. People who visit my fish cleaning station say with 12 salmon at a pop are there once a year and once back home divi up the portions to friends and famillie members. I don't think anyone is really eating too many meals, shoot the surgeon general said the benifits of fish and fish oils outway trace elements of mercury/dioxin in tuna if eatin in small amounts. Our Food supply is getting poisioned from every end all over the world. I've got a guest who will be turning 90 this year he still takes back about 20 salmon per season, he tells me him and his 88 year wife eat about one portion every 3 weeks. He's been coming here since the mid 1970's.

Theres so many browns at are end it's "Stupid" has been for nearly a decade....if you are having poor returns, maybe cornell should do a study on why your end has suffered, the one fish limit may be needed where you live , but it makes no sense at our end except to keep already spoiled fishermen even more spoiled, if or when this lakes crashes i hope everyone remembers these debates.
I want to add something to this..I fished Maxwell creek near Sodus my whole life, do you really think harvesting say 300 browns really is more important than say what the boats do in the lake, those fish will still get harvested ... it will just take longer. People keep forgetting these fish are here for us. EVERYBODY.

One of the proposed changes is to cut out the use of sinking flies and fly lines (already cant use split shot from may to august) during the summer in the UFZ, their rationale which I completely agree with is that these fish will chase flies on or just under the surface when there is a suitable water temperature for them to be active. In other words if they arent biting you're just gonna have to wait until they decide to. Instead of putting on a sink tip...orrrr throwing on a few split shot and 'bouncing' the bottom.
I understand this train of thought but why is there such a disconnect from this regulation and the regulations during the winter months. I know during winter some type of sink tip is needed to get a properly swung fly into a fishes cone of vision, but swinging flies and bottom bouncing nymphs are two totally different animals. In my opinon if you're bottom bouncing nymphs you should just use a noodle rod with a spinning reel....or maybe to some using a spinning rod setup is a sin, and fishing anywhere but the designated fly zones is just a waste of time......
I say get rid of the use of split shot at all times in the fly zones, and limit the length and grain weight of sink tips. Lets see how many fish are landed when there is no more sliding of the slinky. Instead of decreasing creel limits and having fly zones catch and release, why not make it more challenging to catch a fish. It is fly fishing....

I say get rid of the FLY ZONES PERIOD.. this ain't Missoula Montana in 1912 , make anything above the Altmar bridge an artifials , barbless hook , catch and release area... now that would be a change for the better.. fish the way you want but without bait and you can't take pictures.
The Volvo guys wouldn't like the construction worker fishing next to him.

Internet forums don't make up the whole fishing population, half my guests still have never heard of MFF or SC.. I haven't been on the computer 3 years yet...So hopefully everyone who has a problem with any of the rules changes sends a letter to the DEC to state there opinion.
They say the DEC did surveys and the people wanted this change, well me and my carhart buddies never got questioned about it and we are on the River alot..strange.. profiling?...MMMMM... Funny theres not really many browns in our River compared to other fish, wonder if they also asked if the salmon angler would they care if they made a limit on fallfish. I'm sure they wouldn't care as it don't affect them, just like the browns... This is how you push things through, just ask the wrong people the right question.
-
Learn how to fish that's a good one....I've been fishing that river my whole life...I never said there's not plenty of fish and I also am gonna say I would put on a clinic around you with my cp you would just keep hearing baaaaaboooom!!!!!!

Right on the Head! I was in fact surveyed at the Ballpark in early Sept. Mid day, mid week & saw the same DEC woman back there again the following week. Lots of trout anglers out then right? ::) This is seemingly more a Barclay project, and the couple groups of self righteous fools, who do little, but complain. Afterall there's no way some guy in $1-150 froggs & 2-300 rod should be outfishing his loomis rig, while making him feel silly in his fly jacket that cost more than all the clothes on the other guy. ::)

Theres quite a few people out there that think we can stock more and C and R more fish because the salmonoids are now feeding on the gobies, thus taking pressure off the alewife populations. Well what if this new invasive were to suddenly have a massive die off like alwives sometimes do when the lake flips over too quickly, you'll thank your lucky stars the charters had been doing there job harvesting these fish.. It's a put and take fishery complimented will a little natural reproduction and atleast on this end of the lake there's nothing to fix, so leave it alone.

WOW :o Thoughts and prayers go out the people who have endured these terrible storms over that last couple months. And..... We complain of a little rain......Thanks for sharing Shane!--KP
That system DOESN'T look good man!! :-\

Im changing over to carp , forget steelhead and browns , 4 Now ! That can wait and take up my time in october when I dont have to think about all the BS. 8) Just perfected a new hair rig with a one inch piece fireline crystal then a bead to hold the boilie. Then tied to a # 8 black bird !!! Going to go out and give some carp hell over at longbranch. Just have to finish up my recipe here.

IT'S THE MAKING'S OF A PERFECT STORM!!!!!! THATS IT I'M HEADED FOR THE FLEMMISH CAP I ALWAY'S GET THE FISH!!!!
-
then a bead to hold the boilie
good idea!
-
A little early for these salmonoid debates isn't it? :D Don't worry guys...no matter what happens...we will all have plenty of salmon and trout to cach.
-
Yea , I was turning the wheels trying to figure out a way to keep it simple and small. Were the bait wouldnt fall off the hair so I threaded the boilie on with a needle , then cut the needle off , placed one of those tiny beads used for walleye spinner rigs on and melted the tag end of the line to the bead. It held great ! I just dont know if i need more than an inch to hang the boilie off to let them suck the bait in and spit it to get hooked , or just have the bait right against the bend of the hook tight.... Going to have to start a carp thread now . Let me know if you plan on getting out and trying it Ern. I will be there over the weekend around the first bridge from the mouth of the river.
-
Theres quite a few people out there that think we can stock more and C and R more fish because the salmonoids are now feeding on the gobies, thus taking pressure off the alewife populations. Well what if this new invasive were to suddenly have a massive die off like alwives sometimes do when the lake flips over too quickly, you'll thank your lucky stars the charters had been doing there job harvesting these fish.. It's a put and take fishery complimented will a little natural reproduction and atleast on this end of the lake there's nothing to fix, so leave it alone.
Not to change the subject... Do you think that salmonoids supplementing their alewife intake with gobies .. will upgrade the Natural reproduction rate ?
And Really whats wrong with NOT pushing the limit on what population the lake can withstand ?? It makes more sense to build in a little cushion... So we don't blow up !!

Thats all fine and dandy.. if your into catching DINKS !!

can you explain how you fish that carp rig?
are you using a fly rod ?
-
This is how you push things through, just ask the wrong people the right question.
I agree 100 % Or If You have a predetermined outcome... Make the figures match the end result rather than the other way around.. That's why none of this makes sense. :cookoo: :cookoo:
I personally feel that we are being lied to.... and that the end result will be catch and release only in the tributaries or a STAMP type fishery.. There is a clear progression here... The lake limits still remain high and If this goes through we will already be at the lowest possible daily limit for trout possible...
Tributary anglers are being hit from a double front you have the Charter captains and lake fisherman... Just look at how Gambel feels about tributary fisherman. ( I edited some full sentences you can go back and look at the post)
"The 1 brown limit will help the lake fishery."
"Gotta have something for them to catch to keep the business going. On the other hand,the Oak, Sandy Creek (hamlin) and Bert get raped every fall and then the following spring / summer are horrible fishing in the lake ".
Now he will probably say... I'm not saying that all tributary anglers "Rape" the tributaries.. Yet... Has no problem with a regulation change that will effect ALL the tributary anglers...
And the LOTAC type knuckle heads and we have already been through that here..
-
so what crowd do i fall in, i have a f150 and a few carhartts, used to work construction but use a center pin? lol
fly zone is kinda dumb in my opinion, at least the lower fly zone. me and ht went up and watched the circus after dropping some gut barrels off to snag one day. running line and a slinkie isnt fly fishing. but im a dirt bag cause i run mono on my fly reel and egg sack netting on my hook. also kinda wierd that no one ever hooked a fish until they went to pull there line out of the water to cast back up stream. maybe im wrong, maybe that king that just ran 13 miles up river and has been hooked 8 times and has 6 flies hanging off him really did hit your egg sucking leech, yeah and im 6'5
back to the browns, the charter capts are having no trouble getting them, east they are stacked from 4 fow out to 30, if you aint getting them change your speed

Adam:
I never fished the LFZ (yes - I am above that - the Jokers there are truly Jokers).
I'd rather sit in the Altmar Hotel and get bombed before I would ever lower myself to fish in that Kiddie Zone.
Running Line:
I venture up to the UFZ once or twice a year and still use Cortland straight taper running line ($20). The flies I tie will have either a bead head or a couple wire wraps (less than 1/8 oz). I can easily CAST this setup 40 feet - plenty enough to effectiovely work a seam in the SR.
The DEC ban of running line is another example of absurdity run wild. If they think I am going to use an expensive fly line - to let a fish run me through the rocks and river debri and destroy that expensive line - they are NUTS.
Like Snagger mentioned, open the Fly Zones up to any fishing method - artificial only...
Let the Volvo owners sit in their cars - with their Vulvas... ;D

Wow, like 7 pages to read since monics post last night. I knew when I read that last night things would get a bit tense. I think it took me about 45 min. to go through all the posts today. Fenwick said it.......it can be an entertaining read but I know that significant issues will arise out of the proposals. In the end, whatever the DEC adapts will likely have an effect on multiple fronts, .....like the local economy, .....the fishery and the nice people that call the area their home. I hope it's not a negative impact.
I'm not really educated on the issues other than what I read so I'll remain neutral since I happen to have grown up 4 hrs away and still live here. But not for much longer!!!! 2 yrs and counting........SC (not salmon crazy) here I come!!! Then I'll have to relearn another fishery!!! But I will try to continue coming up yonder annually as the SR is an awesome place even if problems remain.!!!! :flag: :whistling:

To Drake.... I was always looking into carp fishing and have had sucess with just corn at dams. Tossing out a handfull in the middle of a group of fish and putting 4 or 5 pieces of corn onto a hook with just a tiny slip egg sinker. Watch them cruise around untill one would pick up the bait then set the hook ! Now I am researching the methods that people use out at the carp turnaments on and around seneca river... The boilie recipe wich seems the best to me is a few eggs , a can of creamed corn , corn meal , some semonilla or whatever the stuff is to make pasta, then a touch of vinalla for sweetness. Roll into balls and boil for a few mins. untill tough but not hard . like homemade pasta. The recipes are all over the net but I am going to stick with the corn BASED mixes due to having great results on corn in New York. Now the hair rig is just starting with an egg sinker , sliding to a barrel swivel . Then a 2 foot leader tied to a # 6 or 8 raven or black bird hoook at the eye. Off of the round bend of the hook I tie a 6 inch piece of LIGHT Braid or fireline , Something light so when they suck in the boilie & hook they wont feel anything ... Thats why I want to use a light wire hook thats strong. Anyways , from that 6 " piece of braid tied to the bend of the hook I tie a smal sewing needle on . Thread the boilie or 5 or 6 pieces of corn onto the braid and slide it almost to the hook , about a 1/4 " to 1 " away . cut off the needle and thread a tiny bead up to the bait and melt the remaining tag of braid till it hits the bead and holds. That is what keeps the bait from flying off when casting . Also The reason 4 the whole rig is to have the carp suck up the bait & hook , most of the times spitting it right back out and doing that again & again but on the way out the hook will catch the rubbery mouth of the fish scareit to run ! Or they will just swim away with the bait so leave the bail open or on light drag setting.

wasnt a attack on you drake, just meant fly fishing only should mean real fly fishing like they do out west, not lifting the the pool next to the da la and thinking your above everyone else. personally i have no problem with fly guys. just hate when they wanna drift 40 ft down river when its shoudler to shoudler. also like snag and everyone else has said those dudes arent friendly. i love salmon season when you get 5-6 hookups in a hole and its pure chaos, i think its fun. some guys take it way to serious , freak out if they lose a fish

corn starch would thicken it up fr ya and make it pastie

Good idea ! thanks

I was a serious carp fisherman for a long long time, one day I got outfished by a young black boy at Mays point in montezuma, so I asked the 10 year old kid what his secret was, he told me instead of trying to figure out a formula with syrups and other different things .... just boil pepsi instead of water before you add your cornmeal when you make your doughball, been using it ever since...works great.

Its got carmel and its sweet so ... Sounds like a great idea also . Water is just water but that stuff is chocked full of sugars and carbs " some people say they need them " and they do eat seeds . Going to try the soda thing on saturday. Will make a carp thread and post what I catch !!!

NICE FISH !!! Thats what im after ... Using my fenwick 9 1/2 ' noodle rod and ten lb trilene. Only line I use anyways and If I can handle salmon on 8lb then 10 is max that i should need .
-
I never used anything fancy, usually a short rod, but if there was room, I'd run my noodle rod...Small split and a #4 hook, if current..an egg sinker slip style, if you can make something the consistency of say pasta, that would probably be pretty cool... I used to work at a large bakery where we made huge batches of dough, but the yeast screwed it up, if we made a batch for the local pizza places with little yeast... I'd freeze a bunch, never worked as good as the secret pepsi doughball though..... ;)

I used to use 6 with a 4 leader.... same as steel... But where I usually fished not much snags or rocks ect....

Have been working 16hr shifts and had one off the hook day yesterday , but had to catchup with my peeps and see whats been going on and what the topic is, and to my suprise and 50 minutes later i c i missed some hot debates. Being my first yr on the river and living 2hrs away im not going to chime in as i dont feel its my place, but if i was abetting man id place mine on snaggers detailed obsevations and experiance.

i didn't think your comment was against me using running line,
I made my comments about it to show the UTTER LUNACY of some of the regs (to once again satisfy special interests over the majority).
If I was a hack snagger with $20 running line, I sure as heck could be a hack snagger with super-duper sinking line for $89.99, or better yet that $100 sharkskin snake-oil line (sorry if any of you bought into that - but P.T Barnum was right ;D).
I'll ask the DEC - What's next?
Must I wade in $600 Simms waders and "Lay it Down" with a $700 Winston stick to be allowed in the Fly Zones?
IMO - some laws are so stupid they are beyond stupid, and I turn into a Scofflaw..
-
Fenwick - thanks for detailed description..
That quite a demented technique you devised to fool a feesh - I LIKE IT !!! ;D
I gotta get back to my roots and target Carp in the Susquehanna. Some of them river monsters have scales the size of roofing shingles and run like a Steelhead mounted with an outboard..

And the LOTAC type knuckle heads and we have already been through that here..
Esox V,
I fish the tribs AND the lake so this does affect me also. I would not be against regs on the lake either. I see the effects of lots of fish being roped in the streams. Low water years on the smaller Western tribs, the browns are ripped out of the tribs. Most of the brown spawing waters in Monroe and Orleans County are small streams with lots of public access. Easy pickings for the snaggers and easy to be over harvested. The Oak is famous for shoulder to shoulder fishermen / snaggers / lifters. 90% of the spawning grounds on the Oak are public. A brown does not stand a chance of running the gauntlet.
And yes not all trib fishermen rape the creek. There are plenty of Pinners, fly fishermen, and noodle rod fishermen that respect the fishery and do not rape the creeks. Where would the steelhead fishery be right now if the regs were not changed? The steelhead fishery was horrible the years prior to the creel limit drop on the tribs.
Snagger,
The East end is not having a problem with browns. The West end last spring / summer and the spring / summer before in the Rochester / Oak Orchard area were horrible.

OMG !! SEE guys the lake needs more fish so Fisherman and Charter captains that SUCK.. can have an equal opportunity !!
Really? How old are you?

That was the ultimate set up back in the day! There was nothing better then a Ugly Stick Fly Rod with a Martin 72..And how i long for those days back again.. I don't care what any one says but the Internet was the beginning of the downfall of the Salmon River! Bet there aren't to many guy's around any more that remember only being able to catch one Salmon and that had to be tagged by a Warden..Or fishing for three to four days and hooking one Steelhead and thinking what a great trip it was because you caught one!! Seems now that if everyone does not catch 15-20 fish per day it was a poor day!! But it was like Snagger said a lot better fishing back then.. I would much rather catch a 20 pound Steelie every few days then to catch dinks anyday!! It makes no difference what the Dec does or how they do it..Not everyone is going to like the out come.. But i honestly think like a lot of others they are over stocking just in order to sell more Liscense's..Gotta keep those who could not catch a fish out of a bucket happy!!

Put him in the bathroom!!!
That's where this whole thread should be ! I say build a dam at the mouth of the Salmon River that's impassable by fish and then flood the DSR turning it into a lake. From there, electro shock every inch of the waterway and dump all of those worthless slime laden trout and salmon back in the lake and replace them with bluegills, perch and walleyes ! Fish of quality !
Once that is done, put up a toll booth at the d**n and charge each person $5.00 to stand on the d**n (from September to November) to swing a giant rod with a grappling hook on the end of the line that's mounted on a turret with an electric winch for a reel. Charge $ 1.00 for each attempt to snatch a salmon just like those arcade games ! 3 chances for $2.00
Of course, they'll need someone to man the booth and patch the holes in the fish from the big grappling hook so they'll be more presentable for photos !
Trapper would be a perfect candidate for the toll booth operator as he could train each individual (after payment) on the finer art of impaling a salmon blindly and making the whole episode look like the cover of an Orvis catalog !
Not to mention he's already kind of a troll who spends the majority of his time under bridges and dams most of the season anyway :whistling: :rotflol:
For you guys who want to catch steelhead and browns.......go to Alaska, the west coast or the other Great Lakes. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: ;D ;D.................or head to the smaller rivers and creeks north and south of Port Ontario where the fish will be stacked like firewood and you'll be up close and personal with other fishermen. There, you can discuss the finer art of force feeding those fish the plastic beads that you stole from your wives jewelry collection or hijacked from your kids craft box !
I'm sure the conversation will be calm, cool and collective ::) ::)
When the day is done, be sure to record the number and specie of fish you lifted, lined roped, lassoed, bludgeoned, caught with your teeth (or tooth in some circumstances :whistling: :rotflol:) and then, list them proudly for the world to view because it'll make you "Happy" ::) ::) ::) ;D ;D

Where would the steelhead fishery be right now if the regs were not changed? The steelhead fishery was horrible the years prior to the creel limit drop on the tribs.
Snagger,
The East end is not having a problem with browns. The West end last spring / summer and the spring / summer before in the Rochester / Oak Orchard area were horrible.
Question 1 .......Where would the steelhead fishery be? It would have been fine.
I've fished here a long time (33 years) and Remember the bad cycles, that right cycles, we used to have cycles before they turned this fishery into a elk creek/ catt... lake Erie type cookie cutter fishery 94-97 were the best years i ever saw comparable to the 80's, then in 98 a bad cycle formed that lasted til 2000, in 2001 it started getting better by 2003 it was great again. In 2004 they implemented the one fish limit, in 2005 we saw the same runs..in 2006 we saw the same runs.. in 2007 we saw the same runs(only hook up numbers started exploding from the use of beads by internet people)....
in 2008 a really good cylce started again and has been going ever since, but this time with double the stocking and this past year triple the stockings.. So it's very hard for me to buy the one fish limit did anything but give the new and spoiled fishermen a chance to re hook the same fish for 4-6 months until it dies from stress. Sorry for lumping all you new guys together I know there's alot of good guys fishing this River, but to make a point I have too.
I would have voted for 2 and split the difference as I've fished Jefferson county for decades and they implemented the one fish limit years before the Salmon River and the only change I've seen since, is the runs last longer than they used too. Those creek systems are smaller and it helped sustain more angling opportunities there.
Theres no more fish there now (less I think) then there was before they changed things. You Know why? They didn't increase stockings there like they have on the Salmon River!!!
I think if you research stocking numbers you'll probably find out that your getting cheated on stockings out west .. People raping creeks doesn't cause poor runs.. it causes short runs..it's put and take, there should be another run coming with the next rain, if one doesn't come, you just don't have the fish, sounds more like a bad cycle or over fishing from the western boats in the lake, my bet is less stockings. Funny I C&R 98 % of my fish, but I'm after the science not the smoke screen some are leading people to believe.
Another thing to think about, if your fishing out west went south around 2001 or a little after, it could have been the huge ecologically shift that occurred after the muscles got established. Maybe the DEC or Cornell should research your area and leaves ours alone.

That I don't care what any one says but the Internet was the beginning of the downfall of the Salmon River! Bet there aren't to many guy's around any more that remember only being able to catch one Salmon and that had to be tagged by a Warden..Or fishing for three to four days and hooking one Steelhead and thinking what a great trip it was because you caught one!! Seems now that if everyone does not catch 15-20 fish per day it was a poor day!!
Well said and I have been out , many of days Hooking fish after fish . At the end of the day I was thinking " this is getting a bit repetative " Then I Thought " how could I say this ! " Well you hit it perfectly with the rewarding feeling of a BIG fish or two after fishing all day !!! Plus there wasnt ever anyone out in dec - feb really . It was a field day this year . The internet is a great thing but people depend on it for way too much . I do not use the internet for much in my life . It hurts my head !!! Ice fishing had became a zoo also with people because of the net IMO the fishery is still great but I remeber many more limit days back in the late 80's and early 90's than in the past ten years. just a thought.

Does FENWICK Still make any nice fly rods ???
-
Don't worry I remember when all the guides and lodges took there lodgers out west for 4 years during the Lake Erie over stocking "Boom"and left this River and the Sandies virtually empty, we had a blast.. No matter how many they stock, a bad cycle will come and we'll shed half these people, but when it rebounds we won't have a 2 year lead start on them like back then.. :w00t:
-
Do they make any nice FENWICK fly rods still ?????????????
Fenwick was the inventer of graphite fishing rods in the 70's , but they were the first to go to china , haven't used one in years...
-
back in early 2000's i remember must fish being around 10 lbs and up, last yr i got one just shy of 19, this yr i dont think i got one over 12
-
Hey Fenwick in November of 2001 me and my buddy Dave were the ONLY guys fishing South Sandy after a water drop. We had a contest to see who could hook the most Steelhead. We were using noodle rods with a styrafoam clip on bobber and fresh brown trout egg sac's tied in white. At the end of a long hard battle I edged him out 78 hook ups to 76....Is it that good now? That was when everyone went west...
-
I have landed some Big fish this fall in pulaski " I mean altmar " ;) that were over 12 lbs but not more than a hand full . Mostly this was in a three week period . Right when the salmon were at the tail end of their run . There was a late run of coho one day , I hooked up and lost ten fish or more . I was fishing a seam in the middle of the river that was sitting between to rapids of water . I landed a few domestics earlier in the week , so I fished it for a while. I know there is a fish laying there most of the time so I tied on a small pink brown egg sack on a # 10 blackbird and started " Scratchin Bottom " through the seam As some would say :laugh: . This fish took the egg sack like it wanted to kill it !!! I set the hook and the fish bolted to the middle of the rapids behind a boulder. It would not move an inch . I thought I hooked the tail end of a salmon or something because I felt it pulsing in the water but not moving . I pulled HARD enought not to break the 6 lb line to budge the fish , it took off and screamed under the bridge ! I worked it back and forth twice and it sat in the pool right under the bridge . Thought it would get wrapped around that metal down there but eventually I pulled it to shore and as soon as My buddie saw this fish , the only thing he said was " What lb test are you using ! & Holy *@^! When I saw the side of the fish flash , I was really happy ! It went 17 pounds when I got it home after gutting it when done fishing . so I give it 18lbs . I seen 3 fish that size all year , two were durinig the end of the salmon run .
-
Now thats a ton of fish ! Hooking 80 fish in a day with NOBODY AROUND !!!
I Also use white sacks ... the other 50 % of the time its Flouro pink . Now though , I have had more hook ups drifting a 1/8th to a 1/4 oz max split shot clipped to tag . My swivel then a four foot leader " like to use as long of a leader as possible when bottom bouncing " I dont know why but the eggsacks have lost their effectivness , except for the fall but beads drifted on bottom has out preformed any other style Ive tried !
-
My Arm would fall Off at the end of that day .... And Fenwick is made " over seas " but what isnt ...I didn't like the earlier models with the thin stainless guides. They would always bend & the SS ring would nick . The New Fenwick HMG and HMX rods Have Pac bay DPL guides and they are much better . If their is a loop or small tangle coming of the reel , 4 some reason the guides shed it . I get fewer knots wich always is a problem casting a 9 ' plus rod . I've NEVER had a Fenwick break either . Out of all the rods I've owned The only ones that have lasted 5 years or more are my ... Fenwick 7'6 HMX Wally rod. Its the " older style with the SS guides though. The New HMX 9 ' 6" For steelhead And my old stand by ' The Shmmano . St. Croix definatley makes a nice rod , Esp. Fly rods and steelhead Noodle rods . They have Great warranty's If you spend the $$$ On the upper models. But I ALWWAYS break the tips on them . Maybe they have Re- Design'd their rods in the past 10 years But I can't take spending 180' on a rod that I need to send back . My Fenwick has a " 5 year " Warranty , thats great for a rod just over $100. 00. Also Ive found that the graphite rod's I've owned that have a matte finish seem to always be alot stronger at a thinner diameter. Have no idea why that is ...

We also hit one day like that back in late 70's early 80's.. had been watching weather reports all Winter waiting for that Thaw in January...Finally it came and we headed up from Pa. and hooked up with our Old buddy Bruce Walden and one of his sons..We were fishing in DSR before it was a pay area and we hammered fish all day long..First time i had ever got sick of catching them.. There was only myself and my buddy..Bruce and his son and no one else..nor did we see any one all day long.. It was only that one day and it took us three more trips up before we caught another..Of course Bruce just kept catching fish!! I would have put him up against ANYBODY!!!! And to think he was a bottom Scratcher.. There was a man who would put any Center Pinner to shame...

You knew Bruce Walden? He was from my area and knew alot of the people I ran with.. Him and Sylvia were good people. He is hands down the best steelheader I ever met and ever will meet in my lifetime... Pure Talent...Spent some time in the old days fishing the Flats or the Silo hole with his crew. He was awesome to watch at South.... I used to park at his place and take my buddy Travis who was in a wheelchair down to clarks falls alot...good times!!! The Best!!! ;D

Snagger i was very privileged to have fished with Bruce and his boys for a few years.. He is the one who actually taught me how to fish for Steelies..If there was a Salmon..Steelhead Hall of Fame Bruce would have been one of the first one's inducted!! A better man has never fished the Salmon River..And i miss the little guy...LOL

Nice pictures Snagger, we had a few storms of our own last night in the valley so i set up out back with the camera and tried to get some lightning on film for the first time and actually did pretty good, couldn't believe my luck allot of cloud to cloud lightning happening in my back yard for about 20 minuets, long enough for me to get a good setting in the camera to take a good shot. Check um out ;D

I was taking all the shots last night, but after showing Snagger that it's possable to do it regularly if the lightning is frequent enough and in the rite place at the rite time, now he wants to get into it. Kind of like fishing, just need to figure out a pattern to hook in to one. Got a few more from last night, not as cool as the first but not bad for my second time.

Shane. Part of my job with the Atmospheric Sciences Research Center, (ASRC @ SUNY Albany), was taking pictures of lightning. Cloud to cloud and cloud to ground. Be very carefull out there. Some of those bolts are three and more MILES long and regardless of what any one, (Experts out there? I think not...), tells you is safe there are enough dead and severely injured who'll beg to differ.
I spent years doing this and at the High Voltage Labs in Pittsfield, MA. We were the first to draw a million volt spark through a laboratory tornado and the dendritic patterns from a lightning strike you DON"T see, but can be recorded on some films, are the ones that'll getcha.
A ground to cloud strike has the dart leader comeing UP from the ground as opposed to what most folks think. We used to initiate them with a special morter round fired into high potential cloud masses that trailed a Tungston wire 1.5 thousandths thick. We'd put a slice of diffraction grating over the camera lens so we could see what kinds of minerals were burning in the strike. As soon as you think you have all the safety rules on lightning down pat along comes the X factor to toast yer toes.
Great shots though. Better than some experts. Practice practice practice. If I knew what kind of camera you were using I might be able to offer some advice, or even some 'Stuff' we used to use. Take Care. See you soon.

Cool Job chainsaw, lightning don't scare me... about 6 years ago a bolt struck a tree in my yard and I was trying to take pictures of it while leaning up against my fish cleaning station which is made of metal and the charge went in my right shoulder through my body and out my right foot...deep pain for about 3 minutes in my stomach. I learned 2 things, don't watch storms bare foot anymore and don't lean up against metal. What you used to do, is what I always wanted too do, always meant to build some rockets to carry a coil of copper wire into the air during a storm to ignite a lightning bolt. Rob has a Nikon D-90 and I have a older nikon d-50 given to me by another MFF member after my D-80 was ruined by water. Glad to see you out there slayin the browns with the "Crew" Chainsaw...take care bud..nice talking too you.

what settings are you guys using to get your lightning shots? ive done it before on the bulb setting and did ok.

Most often I'd set the Nikon up on a tripod and use the BULB setting with a 'squeeze' release to work the shutter. I had a filter mount that allowed me to change attenuation using neutral density filters depending on the time of day of the storm. We'd also developed a directional field strength meter that aimed us toward likely discharge points. This all on film roll SLR camera's. I'm thinking of getting a new Nikon to replace the Fuji I'm shooting with now. Expen$ive though.
These days I shoot in video mode over ten to fifteen second intervals. Set to video, point in your most likely best direction and shoot. Any lightning flash will be captured. I watch the clock through the viewfinder and after a lightning discharge I hit the stop button then immediately hit it again to start the next sequence. The ten second or so intervals prevent my having to watch 50 seconds or more between each lightning shot. You read about Snagger getting zapped so be carefull.
-
Thats what were doing Chainsaw but with a remote release, i might get a corded one with a timer for time laps shots. Just couldn't believe my luck only 2 time out trying it and got some good results I'm hooked!! ;D

Great pics you guys. ;D

Great lightning shots guys! Hey Shane you still should watch that lightning. I seen you a couple days after that, and all of your dark hair at the time turned silver. It was like you aged twenty years over night.

After a week off from soccer due to Memorial day...Jr. and Megan had great soccer games this past Saturday. Meg's team tied in the closing minutes of her game and Jr. scored a goal to tie his game, then 30 seconds later the opposing team scored on thier final drive. Great games from both of them...final games are this coming Saturday for the spring season, 6 weeks in the fall will be posted later this year. Titelines!

I have irregular hours, but if you see someone kicking around..stop in.. How was the water? Haven't looked at the River in a while , I know it's getting dry around here, went from warm and wet too cold and dry..now hot and dry ..... grass is beginning to burn up... Hope they didn't blow too much water the last 3 weeks with all that 900cfs they ran... lamprey guys have been around town.
-
there was dead lampreys all over the place , it was gross dude . the water was awesome today crystal clear ;D saw a couple nice browns and some bruzer smallies by the old tresses . took out a grocery bag of mono and some fly line and scavanged a couple pounds of shot . also got some nice plugs and an x rap . went down as far as the bend and found a bunch of suckers in the shade kinda looked like eyes layin on the bottom . gonna go to the compactor next time always a lead field there . ill stop next time thru bro , be good man ;D

Nice one.. :-) what camera you using now? I just bought a new one on Monday Nikon D5100.
-
That is a great lightning pic Snagger - really sweet.
I hope you guys wear shoes when swimming in that river.
How many tons of lead do you think is on the bottom of the river - let's say from the Altmar Bridge down to the lake.
If I was a betting man, I'd venture to guess at least 20 tons - enough to fill a 10 wheeler dumptruck.

There's far less than one might think, unless you've swam in it. ;) I did it a couple yrs back, People collect all the lost gear & recycle it.

just be careful you don't get all wrapped up in braid, or else you will really be one with the river..
there are some NASTY snags in that river, usually with BIG NASTY RUSTED HOOKS to go with them

Hay Snagger, we just go hit by the best storm so far this season. Small hail, heavy rain and lots of cloud to ground lightning, so much in my back yard i was only able to get three good shots before heading inside, to close for comfort :evil: Check um out ;D

Well it was still day time so like i said, high F-stop and low ISO, i still kept the shutter on bulb but i didn't keep it open as long as we do at night. I also tried the polarize filter to knock down some of the light coming in and i think it worked OK.

Last soccer report for the spring/summer session. Jr. and Meg had to play against each other again yesterday....Meg's team scored early in the 1st quarter, while Jr. was on offense! :o meg's team held them until the 4th quarter, when Jr. decided enough was enough...scored the tying goal with a handful of minutes to go. :) Megan's team was the underdog team coming into the season, because of age and having to move up to the next level. Well..Myself and alot of others have watched them grow over the last 3-4 weeks, and the confidence level of that young team is high. We can't wait for the fall session to see how they handle the pressure! Jr. complimented a bunch of the other players for a great game and is going to have to tell his team to step it up for the fall!! Mrs. KP and myself are very proud of each team for thier efforts this season!! Have a great summer to all!!--KP 8)
Great lightning shots from you boys!! Great stuff! :)

I'm just taking a picture of them with my camera ... laying them on the ground at an angle with no shadows. It only works mid day with good ambient light...then just crop out the background and edges HT.

Wicked cool nostalgic pics Snag. If ya have a scanner, I wonder if it would pick up the images from them old pics? I have an older one here at the house, but never played too much with it, except for legal document's and making copy's of normal size papers. Hmmmm. The way your doing it comes out pretty friggin good though....impressive my friend. ;)

For anybody who pays attention to weather and fishing in our area. I was up by the Redfield Res. a little while ago and was shocked to see so much shoreline showing, they must have that drawn down 5-6 feet. Lowest I have ever seen it in June, usually they have it in the trees heading into summer...boy I hope we don't get cheated on rain this summer. This is how the drought of 2007 started.

i took the fam swimmin at the compactor saturday and the river seemed way high and muddy . hope they know what they are doing indeed >:(

After a near record wet spring like you said, the Res. should be full. Right? What if we have a hot normal summer with only isolated thunderstorms? With water releases given away 4 times and the Res. already 4 feet down , it could be kind of low heading into September.
They have a job to do Esox. You as a carpenter can't be 4 feet off on a house can you and get away with it? :-[

Funny, you mentioned that bud!! We drove up over the weekend and I noticed the same thing. You know it's low... when the water level is near the bottom of the boat ramp! I didn't walk in, just drove by. Not sure where the water level is on the ramp!--KP

Not at all Larry, kings will run at any water level, just alot won't make it past the gauntlet in town to the upper River. Which is great if your the DSR or a Pulaski business ...... I'm not predicting anything, just after all the flooding and high waters for the last 8 months, why do we have to have a lower than normal Res. right now, I thought we were a shoe in for a great salmon season.. It's not a guarantee now.

Yeah I was really liking the 500-900 we had last yr til the flood. 335 makes it tough past the staircase

I read a big write up about Summer Atlantic's in the new June issue of Salmon, Trout and Steelheader yesterday.. Only 2 cars at the upper fly when I drove by around 11am.

Hmmmm. Food for thought for a "Sunny day" SR angler, as I consider myself. I've never paid too much attention to the science of what goes on within that water system on a day by day, or even monthly basis. :-\ I guess when it's your lively hood, ya pay closer attention , and learn what feels right or wrong with the weather and water patterns eh? Always good info. from ya Snag!

Yep I was playing with the settings Rob ..actually not sure how I got where I ended up... actually counted in my head on how long to leave the shutter open.. You should have seen that monster orange moon as it came up over Oneida Lake , I thought I was watching an old episode of the honeymooners.

Got out on open water last week in my new (to me) mini boat.
Fishing was slow as the water was still pretty cold (water temps 36-41 degrees).
The new yacht!! ;D
Great for fly-ins and the smaller lakes around here.

Yeah it's pretty well built. It has a small water leak in the floor I have to fix and I need to get one of those Stingray hydrofoils for the motor to get the arse end to run higher (it won't plane out at this point). But other than that it's pretty good for fishing out of. The boat is made in Newzealand and new they are about $1,500.
I found this one at a garage sale last year for $10!!!! It's never been patched and only has that small water leak to fix. :thumbup_smilie:
bcons
That lake is less than 1/2 a mile from my front door. It's one of two that close to me. ;D

Used to be great after a big rain in late May through early June, it aint anywhere near as good as it used to, plus it's past the spawn now.. could be some kicking around though. Try the bigger pools down low on the bigger Sandies, not little sandy... good luck.. ;D

Thats one heck of a cool dingy Drifter! Yee haw.

you need a bigger motor on that float tube...
serious question - why did you strap a 40 on?
I would guess an electric motor would be plenty.

Its a 4.0, not a 40. Easy to overlook unless you're familial with Merc's labeling.

O.K.
I was thinking that if you cranked a 40 wide open you would probably get airborne. ;D

Two Bubbas Try Ice Fishin'
There were two bubbas from Alabama who love to fish, and they wanted to try some ice fishing.
They'd heard about it up in Canada, and they took off for up there. The lakes were frozen nicely. They stopped just before they got to a lake at a little bait shop and got all their tackle. One of them said, "We're going to need an ice pick."
So they got that, and they took off. In about two hours, one of them was back at the shop and said, "We're going to need another dozen ice picks."
Well, the fellow in the shop wanted to ask some questions, but he didn't. He sold him the picks, and the the guy left.
In about an hour, he was back. "We're going to need all the ice picks you've got."
The bait man couldn't stand it any longer. "By the way," he asked, "how are you fellows doing?"
"Not very well at all," he said. "We don't even have the boat in the water yet."

We got about a months worth in an hour... 1 inch last night and 1.4 inches today in 25 minutes... insane.. erased our 4 week rainfall deficet quick, now we need one more storm to fill the Res. Summers looking much better, plus it looks as though there only running 400cfs this weekend for the sheduled water release and without a day of ramping it.. must be they know they need to conserve water.
-
A Blockbuster thunderstorm smashed the area...dropping another 1.2 inches of rain in 20 minutes... Most cloud to ground lightnings I've seen this season.. Great storm.. The Res. should be getting back to near normal now.. we also picked up rain Saturday and Sunday as well..with a 6 day rain total of 4.3 inches ... Salmon season is looking better all the time now...
Heres a pick of the storm as it approached us..

Man that looks good Drifter..What is it?
Milled around my house today.. so took a walk up to the Altmar bridge for the first time since like early May... Now that all the pools are trenched out from the flood, they are really good holding areas for all kinds of things.. seen largemouth, smallmouth, bluegills, a bullhead and a bunch of very small trout.. some 5 inches to 8 inches or so, then seen a pair of really black landlocks swim by, the female was about 9-10lbs.. male was about 13lbs..Only thing I didn't see was a walleye, but I bet a few are swimming around in there after the high waters last fall and again this spring...
-
Nice pics you guys. My computer got fried again. So I am limited to the library. Tell Northwoods I take a XXXL shirt. lol Miss being up there with you guys. Tight lines.

ive seen wallys in the past while snorkelin , but what always amazes me is the smallmouths . both the amount and the size of them is really incredable . the lil trout are bows i think snag , there in there by the thousands and are really alot of fun on a 3 wt . try tossin an elk hair caddis any evening sometime you'll get multiple strikes on every cast and boy do they jump ;D
-
Small mouths there's no smallmouths in that river. Lol tell a bucket of crawfish that. Lol
-
me n my bud dave play a game when we snorkel there , gotta find youre own line , hook , and bait and then biggest bass wins !! you can hand feed theose fish there

that sounds awesome!!! A group of 10 of us do a tubing trip down the river every summer, from Altmar to Pineville. We always take LAX sticks, a football, masks & snorkels and sometimes a fishing rod (not always though, broke a few once during higher water, including a Loomis one year, that hurt!) Not to mention the inflatable boat with beers and snacks ;D This year I'm gonna try that DD, I know it's not too hard to find tackle, especially at the Trestle or at Elis. Pull a little line off the overhanging trees... Only question I have - can I use the weighted "spiders" this time of year?? ???
-
we do the float too , awesome time and a good way to findnew holes . i guess you can if you find it there ;D use helgramites if you got the balls to put em on a hook :o :o :o theose pincers are deadly ;D
-
mmmmmm do i detect a hint of sesame ?? lookin good drifter !
No sesame, sorry.
There is liquid smoke, hickory smoked salt, mesquite smoked salt, tex mex seasoning, spicy mesquite seasoning and smokey mesquite seasoning.
Man that looks good Drifter..What is it?
It's a nice little 3-4 pound laker I got on Sunday. ;D
I got out today and got some great photos.
I know a lot of you couldn't care less but for Canadians and transplanted Englismen like myself it's a pretty big deal.
Prince William and Princess Catherine are in town here in Yellowknife today and I got a chance to bail from work and go to the welcoming ceremonies this morning. ;D
I got there early and managed to find a good spot and got some great photos and as an added bonus got to shake Prince Williams hand. My buddy got to shake Kates hand.
As i said, probably not a big deal for you Yanks but a big deal for me.
Here are some pics of the day.

me n my bud dave play a game when we snorkel there , gotta find youre own line , hook , and bait and then biggest bass wins !! you can hand feed theose fish there
I used to snorkle for smallies all the time, it's a riot, they'll take the crayfish right out of your hands sometimes... Ever seen a chinook or a school of Skamanians under water, it will blow your mind.. There eyes bulg way out of there heads, they look like demon monsters swimming at you, I used to snorkel the church hole when it was filled to the gills with summer steel... really cool stuff...

Nice Pics, and story Drifter. I respect your showing of support and loyalty. I read an article regarding a group of haters giving them a very rude welcome, when they first landed in Canada a few days ago. Uncalled for in my opinion. A newly married couple, traveling around to see the world and give thanks to the people that adore them. Personally, I think all the publicity is not my cup of tea....but I also don't believe people need to be that rude towards a couple that hasn't harmed them in any way whatsoever also.....By the way, Us northern Americans grasp the "Yanks" slogan as a word of endearment nowdays. ;)
Enough said....just my 02, Sorry to lay it out on your thread Snag. ;)

It won't be too much longer now.... about 6 weeks til the First kings start running the Salmon River... Here's a little taste...
The Kings showed up at our end of the Lake about 6 days ago and it's been good steady action ever since. Persistant north west winds have brought a broad area of temp to this end of the lake... With more west winds rotating around that big high pressure / heat wave centered out west, it should stay good.. My buddy Northwoods sent me some pic's...
Bart with a nice one..

Good to see they are starting to show up. Prolly see ya in a week or two.

Found this reading through the some DEC reports....
The adult alewife abundance and biomass indices in 2010 were the lowest on record, 7% and 11% of
long term means, respectively. Condition of adult alewives remained high and was similar to condition
during 2004-2009. Abundance of age-1 alewife was 1.4 times greater than the long term mean and
represents the third largest year class in the last 15 years. The number of spawners fell to a new record
low, so even with above average spring-summer conditions, the predicted 2010 year class will be below
average. Because of moderate year classes in 2007-2008 and the relatively large year class in 2009, we
expect adult alewife abundance and biomass to increase in 2011 from the low 2010 levels as they did
following the previous record lows in 2006.
Expansion of the Sampling Frame
Lake Ontario
Status of Alewife
In April – May 2010, the abundance and biomass
indices for adult alewife (age-2 and older) in U.S.
waters of Lake Ontario declined markedly from
2008-2009 values to reach new low points for
both measures (Figure 2). The 2010 abundance
index was equal to 7% of the long-term mean, 3%
of the record high of 1989, and represents the new
low value for this time series. The 2010 biomass
index was equal to 11% of the long-term mean,
6% of the record high of 1981, and represents the
new low value for this time series. The decline in
abundance and biomass likely indicates low
survival of fish from the large 2005 year class,
and a low number of four year-old fish from the
small 2006 year class. However, at this time we
have only completed age estimates to establish
age-1 fish for 2008 - 2010 and do not have further
quantitative analyses of the age structure or agespecific
characteristics of the population.
We use the relative standard error (RSE; RSE =
100 * {standard error of the index / the index}) as
a measure of variability in abundance and weight
indices. In 2010, the RSE of the adult weight
index was 15%, which is below the long term
mean (22%, Figure 3). The RSE of the yearling
number index was 27%, which is similar to recent
years and the long term mean (26%).
The abundance and weight indices for Lake Ontario age-1 and older rainbow smelt Osmerus mordax
continued to increase in 2010 from the historic lows recorded in 2008. The abundance index in 2010 was
65% of the previous high abundance recorded in 2004 and the weight index was 18% greater than the
previous high, also recorded in 2004. Age 1 rainbow smelt constituted 41% of the population. Large
rainbow smelt remain rare in Lake Ontario as the percentage of fish greater than or equal to 150 mm
(0.7%) was the second lowest recorded in the 33- year time series. Based on data from 2010, the rainbow
smelt abundance has rebounded from the low abundance recorded in 2008; while the low proportion of
large smelt in the population suggests predation on the largest smelt remains high. New research
questions will focus on disentangling the influences of climate, lake-wide nutrient load, and predator
abundance on rainbow smelt abundance and will further our ecological understanding of this important
Lake Ontario prey fish.
Rainbow Smelt
In 2010, the abundance index and weight index
for age-1 and older rainbow smelt increased
relative to 2009 (Figure 1). The abundance index
was 65% of the most recent high recorded in 2004
and the weight index was 18% greater than the
most recent high, also recorded in 2004 (Figure
1). The percentage of large rainbow smelt (≥ 150-
mm or ≥ 5.9-in) in the 2010 population (0.7%.)
was the second lowest ever recorded in the 33
year data set. This percentage ranged from 6-28%
during the period from 1978-1985 however, since
1986 the percentage of rainbow smelt over 150
mm has been consistently low, averaging slightly
higher than 2% of the population. Overall, these
results suggest that large rainbow smelt
experience high mortality in Lake Ontario,
potentially as a result of salmonid predation.
The relative standard error (RSE =100*[standard
error of abundance index/ abundance index]) of
the rainbow smelt abundance index has increased
in value and variability over the past 20 years
(Figure 2). This increased variability of rainbow
smelt bottom trawl catches coincides with other
observed changes in fish distribution from the late
1990s and is likely a result of dreissenid mussel
colonization.

Abstract
Slimy sculpin Cottus cognatus are the most abundant native, benthic prey fish in Lake Ontario and are a
critically important component of juvenile lake trout Salvelinus namaycush diets. Sculpin assessment has
been conducted each fall since 1979, although the establishment of dreissenid mussels has required
changes to the bottom trawl gear. Slimy sculpin abundance has generally declined over the course of the
assessment. From 1979-1991, the trawls caught on average 100 slimy sculpins per minute. From 1992-
2003 that average dropped to 56 sculpins per minute and since the various trawl changes began in 2004,
the average catch dropped to 10 sculpin per minute (2004-2010). While the various changes to the trawl
gear have made it difficult to accurately estimate the magnitude of the sculpin decline, the trend in
abundance is clearly decreasing.
Deepwater sculpin (Myoxocephalus thompsonii) were abundant in Lake Ontario in the 1920’s and at
least common into the 1940’s. By the mid 1960’s, they were rare and thereafter, some considered the
population extirpated. These fish typically inhabit waters greater than 90m and since 2006 we have
observed an increase in the catches of deepwater sculpin during our fall bottom trawl assessments. In
2010, assessment catches indicated the abundance and distribution of deepwater sculpin continued to
increase. The continued presence of juvenile deepwater sculpins in trawl catches indicates favorable
conditions for survival of young deepwater sculpins, perhaps due to reduced abundance of pelagic prey
fish that can potentially consume the pelagic deepwater sculpin larvae.
Nonnative round gobies (Apollonia melanostoma) were first detected in southwestern Lake Ontario in
1998 near the entrance to the Welland Canal and were first collected in the standard USGS spring
trawling assessment in 2002. Since then, the round goby population has expanded and they are now
found along the entire south shore of Lake Ontario, with the highest population densities in U.S. waters
just east of the Niagara River mouth. Since 2002, round goby number and weight indices increased
dramatically through 2008. In 2009, both the abundance and weight index decreased substantially and in
2010 the number index was similar to 2009 while the biomass index decreased slightly. The decreased
biomass observed in 2010 for roughly the same number of individuals as observed in 2009 indicates the
population size structure has shifted to smaller individuals. Additionally, the warm summer in 2010 may
have extended spawning for round goby
.
Sculpins
Slimy Sculpin
Slimy sculpin are the most abundant native,
benthic prey fish in Lake Ontario and are a
critically important component of juvenile lake
trout diets (Elrod and O’Gorman 1991; Owens
and Bergstedt 1994). Since 1979, the sculpin
assessment has been conducted by the USGS
Lake Ontario Biological Station at six transects
along Lake Ontario’s south shore from mid
October through early November
Washington Steelhead
Growth
Steelhead are sampled in the spring and, unlike
Chinook and coho salmon, do not reflect growth
during the 2010 growing season. Weights
reported here reflect conditions prior to and
including 2009. The mean weights of age-3
males and females were 4.7 and 5.4 lbs
respectively, 0.5 and 0.7 lbs lighter than 2009,
and 1.2 and 0.8 lbs respectively below the longterm
averages. The mean weights of Age-4
males and females were 7.7 lbs and 8.1 lbs
respectively, 1.3 and 1.4 lbs lighter than longterm
averages. Age 3 females were not
significantly heavier than those sampled in any
of the previous 21 years but were significantly
lighter than those from 5 of the years. Age 3
males were not significantly heavier than any
year in the time series, but were lighter than 16
of those years. Age 4 fish of both sexes were in
the lightest Tukey grouping in the multiple range
test (Figure 6).
Age Structure
Similar to age structures observed in recent
years, age-3 and age-4 steelhead dominated the
run again in 2010 (Figure 7). The age structure
of the fish sampled was 57% age-3, 40% age-4,
and 4% age-5 with none older

Cool pictures Dave...........
Good info Snagg... I just had to put my glasses on and cover one eye... ;D ;D ;D
-
I had to take two breaks in order to finish that read Snag. :o Good read man.
-
So did I read the DEC report correctly? Food supply ok, but struggling, if not teetering on a struggle based on the yr. Followed by Steelies are all smaller/lighter on average, some yr classes significantly so. I mean 1.4 lbs lighter on 8lb fish is alot. That's almost a 20% drop.
Yet changing bag limit on another trout, to increase their numbers is a good thing? I must be missing something.
-
if I'm not mistaken this is exactly what Snag was predicting at the end of steelie season this year when the debate about lower creel limits was going on.
-
wow that was interesting huh???? that is why all those steelies were on the small side this past year!!!!!! see the state does do some great research and should be congradulated on that part but as we all know we don't like some of the things they do !!!!!!! good post snagg!!!!!
-
if I'm not mistaken this is exactly what Snag was predicting at the end of steelie season this year when the debate about lower creel limits was going on.
do you see the double edge sword here they want to reduce the creel limit on browns and they are saying that the baitfish are not abundant as they were but they want to let more fish live to eat mmore bait to be smaller yet !!!!! DO I MAKE SENSE OR DID I CONFUSE MYSELF?????
-
I must be missing something.
Yep... you missed the particular FEELING A certain small group of people with a rather large voice get... knowing they have limited the harvesting of fish !! Scientific data needs to be overlooked when it doesn't coincide with your personal feeling's about the harvesting fish.
-
I was wondering if you guys would pick up on that , there was some great graphs going back to 1981, but it wouldn't let me copy them.
Add in a couple suprize successful Atlantic years and natural chinooks and we could be at the point we were at around 1995-96 when we had too many adult lake trout and a super healthy salmon / trout population. Something had to give so the DEC made the tough decision to reduce chinook salmon stockings lakewide, we could be headed that way again if the DEC is going to be swayed by special interest groups and not the facts. ......Dr Howard Tanner in the late 60's put these fish here to control baitfish, afterwards a tourism based economy quickly formed around them and the DEC has always based there stockings on a certain amount of harvesting, if we are no longer allowed to harvest them because certain tributary anglers put them on a pedistal and must release them because there so pretty and shiny , stocking cuts will probably be needed eventually .... Cookie cutters is one thing , but there is a point where the fish could get diseases like kidney problems from a lack of forage and huge amounts of energy used to find it....The DEC runs a fine wire out there balancing this great fishery.. I hope they are listening....
I read on the DSR webpage that some Australian Winery donated a million dollars towards Lake Ontario's Landlocked Atlantic Salmon Program .. makes you wonder what's really at work here......

Great info, Snag! Thanks!
For the record, I'm not so sure 'everyone' who releases fish puts them on a pedestal...
Some people fish everyday, yet eat nothing but perch and sunnies (like me).
Is it fair to say that some fish are more valued alive then dead? There are some fish I'd like the chance to hook and fight again...
But that should, of course, be the choice of each person who buys a fishing license and helps fund the stocking.
Some of us just like having fun and fighting 'em!
For example, would you kill and eat this fish if you caught it in your frontyard? Would you want it to get bigger to catch it again?

We're all in this together, Brother :)
It just doesn't seem fair to judge some people on the waders they wear.
If you're really going to get down and dirty and chase fish all over the country in some really rugged places, you gotta' buck up and pay the piper for gear that will hold up. (this coming from a guy with no money and a truck with over 250,000mi on it)
I like the way you think, Snagger. Always have. But sometimes there is no need to feed the fire. Life is what you make it.
Make it fun!!!

Hey Jimmy speeking of movies...back in junior high school, I hooked this one landlock up at the tailout of fall creek falls so many times one fall that I nick named him "Walter", I finally did land him.. a big blackish purple one with a knarly kype, I let him go after all the torture I put him through that fall..

Don't tell the others, but... "On Golden Pond" is in my Top 5 easily....
"Oh, sure. Black bears, grizzlies. One of 'em came along here and ate an old lesbian just last month"
I'm down in Philly for work this week, and sort of in fishing withdrawl until Saturday night. Hope you're slaying Waldos this summer!

We went up yesterday for some catfish bait ( Fall Fish) we got about 20 of them and 2 small smallies. We seen Northwoods Drifting down the River, Nice seeing you NW. I am getting her ready for the fall with the centerpin. She watched the the float and she told my when to set the hook and I let her reel them in. Stopped at the hatchery and seen some tank Browns and Atlantic's about 30 where in the raceway. Snagg hope you feel better soon.

Heat Wave about ready to start... looks like a hot next 7-8 days....

Surface temps on Lake Ontario are already around 72 degrees, I wonder how thick that layer of warm water will be after this event.....Yesterday we got about an 1/8th inch of rain and that's all the rain we have recieved in the last 16 days, We got 4 inches in 3 days at the end of June which had just brought us back to normal after a 3 week dry spell.. looks like another one could be forming... The Big Res. was about 3 feet down before last weekend's water release, I'll be driving up there next week to see what it looks like.... Spring started late, but looks like another warm water year for Ontario, good for bait populations....
-
Hopefully it holds the cool water in close

Better pray for a southeast wind bro... Have you looked at the western end temps? mid 70's now..that thermocline will be digging deeper and farther offshore without an offshore wind to get some upwelling going..... slowly though...
-
Suppose to blow south this weekend. Don't want to be bringing them up from 175 ft down

For your sake I hope it all works out Adam , but it wouldn't break my heart if this "Salmon Blitz" is over for a while and they got scattered... My interests are tied to the River...They can't run the River in September , if there headed to Nj. in a cooler right now.... ;D

Heres a picture I just took, Mark's a big dude so it don't do justice, all the Kings had alewives in there stomaches. nothing else.. good healthy ones.. The kings over 20lbs stomach's were beginning to tighten up and eggs were taking up cavity room..

Took a walk down the river for the first time in a while. Back's been out, so just trying to stretch it...Wow ... I haven't seen this many smallmouths since the 90's, there everywhere...I mean I wouldn't make a special trip over it or anything, but theres lots of bass around in the 8-14 inch range... Seen one chase down a 8 inch brown, he had the tail sticking out his mouth when I left him... piles of fallfish too..
The River really looks healthy with all the new deeper pools since the flood.. Not many dead Larger fish where I walked either , just one big silver something in the middle of the schoolhouse.. Took a River temp in the current and in the shade..77 degrees at 3pm...good swimming water, might do that tomorrow.. VERY.. VERY dry out, all the weeds are either dead or wilting, that spring that dumps into the top of the schoolhouse is almost as low as the summer of 2007. I haven't checked the Big Res., but Brookfield might want to start considering to cancel the August water release to conserve water for the Labor day one , it's really dry out there...

Am I a jerk for thinking its pretty awesome that Smallies are hammering on juvie Browns in the summer?
Silly trout, that river is for BRONZEBACKS in the summer... How dare they think they can intrude before August :P
I've always been fascinated with the idea of the formerly-popular Smallie/Dropback Steelie era... Or was that just a rumor?
Seems like a heckuva way to spend a sunny late-spring day on the water with a 6wt?

Thats a hell of a brown there markie good job. Hey why dont you trim that go tee your starting to look like zz top

Hey Shane
Takes some pics of the river next time you're down there.
Every time I have been to the SR there has always been snow on the ground. ;D
Never seen it in the middle of summer when the trees are full and the water is low and clear.

Drove up to the Redfield Res. a little while ago..... it's down about 5 feet from the high water mark or about 3.3 feet from the boards... that's low for this time of year, but not extreme yet. With Lake Ontario temps skyrocketing in this heat, our region should start to see more thunderstorms that we haven't seen this summer thus far, especially at night .
Now that the lake has warmed greatly , hopefully it will be able to fuel nightime thunderstorms and will have less of an effect on shadowing our region from daytime thunderstorms that a cold lake can sometimes do.
We had a complex of thunderstorms hit the area early yesterday morning and got grazed by an evening storm... combined it dropped a little over a half inch of rain ending our 3 week dry snap again...

I was in the area so instead of lunch I fished the river in Snaggers neck of the woods mid day. The water didn't feel like it was above 70 I forgot most of my gear, so I couldn't take the temp. The river does look good. It was nice to be back on it. ;) Only another month.

Hey Bcons do you remember where you were in the 2002 blackout... wonder if this heat wave coming brings another one? Could hit 100 degrees Thursday here...

I would never question your readings, it just felt cool, I guess cause it was so hot out. The way you mention your journals & the things you track it's only to be admired :bowdown: The blackout of 02, I didn't live here, I was still just a fishing tourist. However with the report on News 9 this am talking about window unit AC's they said it's a little different now than a decade ago cause lots of Newer homes have central air, yet the window units are still flying of the shelves, for the older ones. Which lends itself too lots more buildings have A/c. Take mid 90's to 100 with lots more A/c it could get interesting. I'm glad I have a generator. :-\ A few kids were taking up a past time to beat the heat mid day today, you've mentioned in the past. I heard a giant splash, looked up and saw them about 120' south of a sign advertising worms for a $1.50.

Ooops sorry I'm trying to behave

I do agree with ya though, it seems bad. Here's hoping for a few inches of rain (spreadout a bit) and the right wind to help the upwelling 15 or so miles from here. Last yr we all were talking about the 1st few runs entering the port in 70+, which is tough at best on em.

Walked over to the River... Took a water temp in the current at 2pm.. an incredible 79 degrees,, must be in the 80's in Pulaski.
Looks like Syracuse officially hit 100 degrees... the all time record is 102 degrees...
Here in Altmar we hit 96 degrees at 2pm then a lake breeze formed like most hot days up here and temp has backed off to around 91 degrees now. Last night at 1am it was still 73 degrees, that's warm for us this far north.. Our dewpoint is an incredible 79 degrees, I only remember seeing it this high a few times in my life, definitely one for the record books today..

Man with the heat, it will be a great weekend to tube the River . Well that lake breeze died .... it's in the mid 90's again.. I see Elmira N.Y. offically hit 103 degrees today... This was one of the hottest days in New York State history. Did your soccer get cancelled KP?

Do they normally dump water for rafting the river or will we be rafting in what is there? The families first time rafting....I tubed it years ago! ;D We are going outta Brown's for the float! And, I think we launch from the bridge at the ninja hole. Soccer was cancelled by the Dr. who looked at Jr. last week. --KP

it's a pre scheduled water release...750cfs this weekend.. Browns campground? it's pretty slow going up here... hit the Pulaski rapids too, when we were drinking and didn't want to drive far we always rafted from the upper fly parking lot to the altmar bridge, surprisingly good whitewater up there... it's a good run..ballpark to black hole is the best run...have fun boys, great weather for it...

Might have to try that this weekend. ;D

I got a feeling Snag already has ya pointed in the right direction duff. I'm from Oswego county, and I still had a hard time finding the falls myself. First time for me and the family to make the excursion. Well worth it also. The hiking trail down to the bottom of the falls is tough, nothing I would recommend for young kids, or without proper footwear. We had to turn around about halfway down, because Trevor didn't feel comfortable, and we were also not in proper footwear.
This pic is close to halfway down the trail to the bottom, just before we turned around.

Had to tell Jr. to leave the noodle rod at home!! ;D ;) Life is good!!--KP 8)

Yesterday our area received some very beneficial rainfall from morning thunderstorms fueled by lake Ontario's now warm waters, it wasn't a droughtbuster, but it gave the trees and grasses a much needed drink. Picked up exactly one inch of rain in about 2 hours, then it remained cloudy and cool the rest of the day. The break this area needed from the heat we've seen lately.
Yesterday morning...almost looks like a lake effect snow band

Today a couple lines of storms formed over the lake, then turned just south of our area and went severe, no real rain here ...just a few light showers, but a descent lightning show....a friend of mine called from Clinton N.Y. and said they got alot of wind damage.
Earlier radar this morning...

Back before the harborfest days, that was the highlight of my summer, what a blast those races were, then the drunkfest afterwards at the field days. We used to blow up an inner tube around a cooler of beer and tie it off to one of us for the ride down.... Lots of scrapes and bruises going through town, it was always an adventure.. I bet Freddy remembers those races... ;D After somebody got killed ... the insurance was too much for ringgold to host them anymore.....

Hope this heat wave ends soon. Our creek down here gets heated too. Been working on dams in the creek down here. The trout love the oxygen it create. Took a snorkel and mask to check out the fish. Still some big fish . Saw one brown at least 22". That is big down here. Getting a new casting float rod next week. I can't wait until steelhead starts.Hope you guys get some rain soon.

Sad to see/hear all those fish have died Shane. Nice catch Kowboy!! :bowdown: :flex:--KP 8)

Nice tuna kowboy! Looks like a great trip.

hey snagger......whats a skam??? and also why dont those big browns go back to the lake????? r u telling me that there r fish that big in the system all summer????? I guess I just thought that the lake run fish went back where they came from??
-
the upper fly zone usually holds a fair number of skamania steelhead (summer run fish), lake run browns and atlantic salmon. Although if you really put some time in and covered a lot of water you might be able to find a stray fish or two lower in the system, but you'll spend most of your time catching smaller trout, fallfish and smallmouth. This summer has been hot and dry..and it is super easy to stress out any of the larger salmonids that you do happen to catch so it's really questionalbe if these fish should even be fished for during most of the summer. Although I have to admit catching a 5-10+ pound atlantic salmon on a skating dry fly is really too much for me to turn down sometimes and I do go up and chase them a couple times a summer. Just pick your days right (white water release..) keep the tackle light and leave the sinktips at home.

NF it was agreat trip we each came home with about 50pds of fish. We also caught a 7ft blue shark but didnt keep guess they pee thru there skin so no good to eat, but was cool to see it on the deck of the boat. I did get alot of video of us catching them all. The cod were down 325ft and it felt like u were reeling up atire and took along time to get up so our arms were alittle sore, but cant wait to do it again

What Erney said.
In Late April..May and during June high waters.. Some browns and Atlantic's and a few skams( it used to be more on the steelhead} come into the river, almost all of them summer over in the upper river with the biggest portion of them just below where the hatchery brook dumps in which is closed to fishing during the summer... some will run the hatchery brook and hide in the wier and some will head up into the upper fly zone close to the lower res. dam which is open to fishing during the summer..the farther upriver you go, usually the water will be cooler during the summer.
Being this is a wide river and full of rock, it gets warm and stays warm most summers..theres not enough cold water springs to really support a summer population of fish.. Summer's like this year with it so dry, no fish have come into the system since probably before early June.. Theres been no natural high waters except the releases, with the last 2 as the people rafting and tubing know, the rivers been way too warm for anything to be able to run the river..so the summer kill this year is lower than normal, should be a good mix of browns and summer steel with the first few push's of kings in early September. You should read about some monster browns being taken this September.
This summer with the upper Res. being so low, theres alot of rock showing that isn't normally there.. lower waters are warmed much more easilly and that rock holds heat at night.. This River has been widening ever since the regulated flows were established around 1990, these constant flows eat away at the banks and eventually the trees fall into the river.. The soil up here is sand..ask anyone who has put a septic in how easy it passes a perk test.. There's no clay or other conditioners to hold the soil together.. I see guys are planting trees to try to hold the banks together and provide shade to the river.. It's probably a loosing battle, with this river not allowed to flood and go through natural drought stages and kept at unnatural regulated flows, the banks will continue to erode year after year. I'm not being a dooms dayer, it's just what it is....
On a good note, all the small trout are doing great, haven't seen a dead one all summer, they sit right out in the sun and eat bugs all day long up here at the bridge..
Nice pic's Kowboy!!! :thumbup_smilie:

Now that's what I'm talking about!!!!! :flex: I'm supposed to be on an "open" charter for Tuna this week some time. I don't even have the date locked up yet as I'm waiting to hear from them. But that's what I want. I know they are catching some 70-100 lbers. You can check out their reports page by googling "Shore Catch". Some nice Tuna for sure. I can't wait.......40-65 miles offshore. I have never been 3 miles out :sick: :sick:...........hope the bonine works again!!

All I know is they were hot on Saturday. But then I also know JROCK knows where to find them and how to get them bitting. We had a great day. Everytime Fished with JROCK I learn something and get fish. Thanks again John.
p.s I think old AL is still sleeping from reeling in all those kings!

We were getting them in 280 to 325. I don't think we went 30 minutes without a bite. Those fish have been there for two weeks now. We set up in 180 and never took a shot till 280. Once we found them it was steady action till we boxed out.

Fished Oneida lake with Shane and Big Jim Saturday night, got a nice shot of the boat docks after we were dun fish-in, i also got a few nice one's from Ontario Saturday morning.

wow - you guys sure are dry...
There's more flow in a men's room urinal than what N Sandy & Trout Brook currently have..
It's raining again here in NEPA with nice cool Canadian air too..
I'll do a rain dance and try to send some H2O your way.

You get any of that rain yesterday SNAGGER! We got a really nice steady soaking! Do you think the drought we've had is going to hurt the run of salmon here in a few weeks or so??--KP

It rained 2 hours, but never broke the trees...couldn't even measure it... maybe a tenth of an inch....still too early to dooms day anything but if it don't start raining soon..it won't be the salmon season we were hoping for.....
The water release for this weekend is cancelled, so that's a good thing, in 2007 they ran 100cfs during the salmon run all the way til mid october, it wasn't good to the fishery and business, they might want to start thinking about a cut back now, not later......still too early to tell.. we'll see where we stand in another week....

Hey KP when I was younger I thought heat and drought and things like that kept salmon from running, but over the decades I noticed that once they are ready, they will run no matter what.. I used to think high water or rainfalls were the biggest factors in a run, they do help, but maturity is also key. Some years your fish mature earlier than others.. Why? I'm not so sure..... But in my diaries that I've kept since the mid 80's..I've noticed than anytime you have an early spring you tend to have a better chance of large early runs, but if your spring is cold like this years, the salmon tend to come in on time or late ...not early.. this therory hasn't been 100%, but it's been a good indicater for me to plan my fall.....
The last 3 years we've had a very minor run in late Aug....then a Major run over the Labor day weekewnd, then a 3 week hole til the next run, I bet this year we have more mid Sept. medium runs and no major run on Labor day...we'll see ...this is just my guess right now, I really enjoy trying to predict salmon runs, we all have bets on it every year here at my house... ;D

id like to get in on that bet haha
Make your prediction... ;D
Looking at my calenders from 2007 drought year...we had a cool spring and there was a good run of kings with coho's browns and steelhead mixed in on Sept. 7-9th and again from 17th-20th.. no real labor day run, just a few around..water was 163cfs for labor day weekend dropped to 100cfs after that....
Heres an interesting note for that year October 5th 89 degrees..river temp still 69 degrees til the 7th of October.. guys still fishing in shorts til the 10th of October.. Hatchery didn't get there eggs, had to go out west to get there quota. Salmon spawn at River temps below 55 degrees, according to my notes river didn't hit 54 degrees til October 30th....amazing year, this year is maybe simillar with a cool spring and dry summer, but I don't think we'll see a Sept.-October like that again...

i was gunna say sept 5-6 is when we will start to see the first salmon. but only thing that suxs is when i fish salmon river i never have anyone to fish with haha. even in oswego its the same way
-
well now since were playing the prediction game ;D
i'm thinking we will see a small push of fish with a labor day water release similar to last year. then the port will fill up with fish and slowly trickle up and get picked away at by the guys who look like there straight out of a cabelas showroom ::) ::) ::)
i think the 1st big push will be around 15th of september ???

Has there ever been years where the fish started to run upriver on a low cfs level? and , if they couldn't get very far upriver, it seems they would have to spawn where they end up. Or on a drought season, would the water release happen even though there has been a drought and quite possibly drain the res. They cancelled the release this weekend, would that continue into the salmon run and then release to allow the fish to do their thing?Thanks for the history reports! Good stuff!--KP 8)

KP i seen a run of salmon in little salmon river very low water augest 16 and they made it to lad road! now that was a few years ago ...osewgo river usually gets better early runs simple because theres more water and deeper holes

A small run of salmon come into the Oswego River in late August ? Who'd a thunk it ::) ::) ::)
I predict that the leaves will start changing colors in late September, It will be cold in January, Walleye season will close on March 15th, it will be dark tonight, it will be light tomorrow, Christmas will fall on December 25th and HT will catch a fish without live bait !
Well, OK.....6 out of 7 ain't bad ! ;D ;D

well you'd be wrong !!!! in our area the leaves start to change in late augest ...and snagger you are right salmon don't run because of cold or water flow those are factors which help them stay alive for there trip up stream , salmon runs are trigered by there biolodgal clocks same as deer in the rutt by the amount of day light! as the days shorten the clock starts

Great shots DC... love the steam picture... ;D
Most of the Salmon come in many weeks before they actually spawn Kp... this is a put and take fishery and during very low water years like 2007, most will be harvested or die from the stress of being hooked over and over again in relitively warm water...After all the salmon crowds leave or the crowds that are still here in November these days change to targeting steelies, I see salmon spawning anywhere in the river theres gravel, just most of your real gravel areas are up River.
They will run 185cfs til the thursday before Labor day weekend Kp, then if theres enough water by then it should go to 285-335cfs for the rest of the fall.. I'm just taking a guess , but theres probably only about 30cfs going into the res. so 185cfs continues to drain it, it's been very humid this summer, so atleast were not evaporating it too bad...if the res. is really low and i don't know ....I haven't been up there in a bit....they should think about cutting it now as to not run into trouble later like 2007 it's got to start raining soon, just from law of averages ... I'm sure we'll be all right.......

I'm just taking a guess , but theres probably only about 30cfs going into the res. so 185cfs continues to drain it, it's been very humid this summer, so atleast were not evaporating it too bad...if the res. is really low and i don't know ....I haven't been up there in a bit....they should think about cutting it now as to not run into trouble later like 2007 it's got to start raining soon, just from law of averages ... I'm sure we'll be all right.......
Lets just hope it doesnt rain like last October!!
Hope your back is feeling better Shane!!

Oh yeah, EFF the Yankee's!!

Thanks for the info Shane....we're always learning the river! ;) Hopefully, we'll get some rain with the patterns that are moving around! Titelines to all!--KP 8)

I remeber the 07 season very well. A strong push of cohos all Sept long and I mean Strong!! I stopped up on like the 12th or something like that at the old Nimo Bulding and there was only ONE guy there fishing and there was Cohos running all over the place!! lol That weekend MADHOUSE! The kings where there but no real Numbers until later. When the fall rains came the Creek fishing was of the hook! High water low water Always fun and good fishing.. I might strap on my river shoes soon and walk some river that I haven't seen with low water.
-
Drove up to the Redfield Res. a little while ago..... it's down about 5 feet from the high water mark or about 3.3 feet from the boards... that's low for this time of year, but not extreme yet. With Lake Ontario temps skyrocketing in this heat, our region should start to see more thunderstorms that we haven't seen this summer thus far, especially at night .
Now that the lake has warmed greatly , hopefully it will be able to fuel nightime thunderstorms and will have less of an effect on shadowing our region from daytime thunderstorms that a cold lake can sometimes do.
We had a complex of thunderstorms hit the area early yesterday morning and got grazed by an evening storm... combined it dropped a little over a half inch of rain ending our 3 week dry snap again...

What's happening Wire?
Not a drop here yet, just got down mowing the lawn .... only the second time since June..
With cooler temps ... comes drier air usually, evaporation will kick in..Maybe the lake is warm enough for lake bands of rain..I've seen it before in Late August...

Snagger , your in box is full. I didn't fish today. Had a buddy out there and when i last talked to him he had only caught 4 skippy salmon and was moving in for brown trout. East winds suck. Don't need a repeat of last season. This has been one of the best seasons I ever had and I'm looking forward to the bloodbath that should be coming in the next few weeks.

After a hot day....that water looks awesome Frank.. Hope it starts raining soon or that might be all we get on labor day weekend...... brief shower yesterday and none today with rain all over the state again , did here thunder and noticed an islolated but intense storm over Tug hill today.. according to the under radar it was hitting the upper reaches of the mad river and south branch near north osceola...take what we can get at this point....

I have a funny feeling that we are heading to a low water situation.. My spot in the eye is now gone!! all slate rock now and all the holding rocks are gone.

looks like you'll be 200 yds upstream with me and Ht. Those fish will still pause there a little I bet frank not like they used to but they will slow up and rest for a few by the bank after those rollers

Yes they did..not drained though, just kept it at a low level to re pour parts of it, that actually kept the River reasonably high, as everytime the water got close to the work scafolds, they dumped water... I think that was 2006...
-
06 could be the year i remember as my buddy still had the camp at cedar pines. i remember driving past it when it looked like that and couldnt believe it. would of been a great time to walk and learn the res, and find LOTS of gear.

A really good 5 hour soaking rain today, Tug hill missed out on the begining of this storm , but should have averaged out around what we got here in Altmar, they tend to ring out more rain because of there higher elevation... We picked up 1.5 inches today... Great start to getting that Res. back in shape...Radar showed monster rains all day down by the lake shore....

Snagger posted earlier 1.5, we got almost that much here 5 miles south. Though the levels are still questionable. I drove through Meixco Village tonite, the pond across from the dam at the high school was still 3/4 empty & as a result the water below the dam looked like it hadn't rained at all. I'd bet we need 2-3 more days of this. :-\

More of the Estuary next to where he already owns. He's got the Island & the hole, there's 2 houses for sale on the North bank, & the same parcel across the river on the South bank is still forsale as it's been for a couple yrs. However now we're in the "navigable in fact" waterways, but with him who knows.

the island closest to the bridge?
Not yet that I know of, but since he already has the good one, the next one down closet too the bridge, who owns it? The newer house on the N shore, with the nice landscaped yard with the "redwood" stained siding has been up for sale this yr. Coldwell Banker I think, it's a white & blue sign, it's the closest house to it. So who knows.
-
he said that he read an in - fisherman article about running salmon skein under a float for kings ??? this has been done for years but now it is an obsolete trick correct, well i bet it still can be done ??? ;D
Yeah........in Alaska ! ;)

Ummmm.............uhhhhhh..........no.......that would be a negative!!! p57 Aug./Sept edition 1st paragraph........"When leaves begin falling from the trees, king salmon are already thick in the rivers of the Great Lakes. As they 1st enter rivers, salmon go ballistic for aggressive techniques like pitching crankbaits or spinners. But that phase soon passes....................From the end of the 1st week to the moment spawning activity actually begins, float-fishing is the odds-on method. Most float fisherman...............use.........."skein". But some use soft plastics with great success."
"Folks of ill repute...........where snagging is brain dead easy. These pretenders...........say they don't believe salmon bite. Fact is kings do bite and floats prove it without ripping open any brown or rainbow trout by accident. "
I'm not trying to open a pandora's box here just quoting what I read. I will find out for myself what is true or not so no one needs to convince me whether or not Salmon bite.
I'll definitely have some fun too finding out. Does Forest and Zippy want to meet up when I travel yonder to the transition point??
-
shove a hot n tot in there face for 5 minutes fish on so easy a cave man can do it .... i'm betting the first fish will be in oswego river in 8 days!!! i'm going down and getting as many of the real fish out before they end up on a rope headed to jersy :rotflol: :rotflol: after 40 years of salmon fishing do i believe they hit ...... truth NO
ps the real fish are the small mouths and bluegills lol
-
Oh boy here we go, Please make sure your seatbacks & tray tables are in their locked & upright position it's gonna be a bumpy ride.
"Folks of ill repute, pretenders"?
Ok Salmon go ballistic for aggresive techniques? :rotflol: :rotflol: :rotflol: :wacko: :blink: I guess everyone that fishes the Estuary just haven't figured that out yet. ::)
All the guys that own or work at cleaning stations that constantly say out 25000 fish I've cleaned over 20+ yrs I've never seen one with any stomach contents.
Then of course there's mother natures wisdom. If salmon actively fed, what would 100's of thousands of 15-35lb fish at the top of the food chain do to the river ecosystem? The rivers couldn't support an active feed. Yes they support trout, but remember there aren't as many, & during the 1st 2 months the trout feed on the non-viable (since they broke free from the nest) salmon eggs, with some raiding nests. By the time winter sets in & temps get cold, the trout almost shutdown. The cold water slows their metabolic rate to almost nothing, the colder dense water has a much higher oxygen content allowing the trout to breath fine just sitting there. As anyone who's fished the river in the dead of winter will tell you, you must have the perfect drift right next to or in front of them to get one. They won't move much to take your offering not that I've ever done it ::) By the time the water begins to warm & the trout "wakeup" there's runoff & hatches adding food to the river system. It works. Mother Nature is smarter than us.

I always thought salmon in the river liked to collect fly's so they'd look purrrrdy during spawning. :D :D :D
-
packers? red sox? whats next are all you cny guys gonna start cheering on uconn and gtown?
As far as the salmon bite in the rivers. Here is my take "larger rivers yes i believe that that do bite like the niagara and oswego harbor, but once they hit the rt 3 bridge on the salmon i think they shut down. My theory being that in there minds they are almost to there spawning grounds where a big deep river they dont have it in there minds yet that they are close." Water temp probally plays a big role in this. But i have seen plenty of fishing shows of guys casting cranks to kings on lake michigan tribs
-
but there is the king at the long bridge last yr that smoked my pink worm under a float in mid nov
-
he said that he read an in - fisherman article about running salmon skein under a float for kings ??? this has been done for years but now it is an obsolete trick correct, well i bet it still can be done ??? ;D
You bet it can HT. I did it for many years when I lived in Ontario and my buddies are still doing it today.
As soon as the fish start sniffing around the river mouth is the time to start floating skein.
They are waaaaaaaay more fun to catch down there than up river. ;D
-
My theory being that in there minds they are almost to there spawning grounds where a big deep river they dont have it in there minds yet that they are close." Water temp probally plays a big role in this.
or the fact they've been gettin bombarded with lead and breathing concentrated levels of boat exhaust fumes

Your right Bob there is only one real way to find out so go for it. Maybe some pictures of Kings with the Skein burried down there throat might show something. I will see you at the launch 8) 8)
-
been trying to keep the anticipation of the up coming season in check but I was starting to get an itch so i was doing a little lurking over on SC...
apparently someone saw a couple pods of kings in the esturary this morning. Dont know if there is any truth to it or not but it got my blood pumping a little bit none the less. getting excited.

Pretty amazing you get so heated (entire post is CAPS!) when someone shows a picture of something you say doesn't happen.
Just sayin.

YOUR DRIFTING IT INTO THERE MOUTHS !!!!
That's what we did years ago. Just lifting them got booring, so we would shoot for their mouths to make it look like they "hit" the sponge (or piece of your shirt if you were out of sponge). ;D
-
HAHA YOUR DRIFTING IT INTO THERE MOUTHS !!!!
Your right, we drifted golf ball size gobs of roe under a float, into their mouths while they were trying to breath to survive.....
Our methods should be outlawed just to keep the numbers of gagged and choked salmon down!

i like to use big pike minnows in oswego and salmon river estruary. i put them on a slip bobber and adjust the depth as the day goes on. the kings lay on the bottom as the sun comes up so then ill take the float off and just use an egg sinker. its amazing early morning seeing a mud shark chase my pike minnow on the surface. ill even catch a zara spook early morning for kick a$$ top water action.
-
lmfao this debate whether they bite or get snagged is ridiculous. everyone has been a snagger at one time or another. and if you say youve never done it I call b.s on you.
-
Always a Hot Topic, for sure!
Some people get heated up about it, others simply don't care... Count me with the latter, please.

i have a system for salmon.. they die anyway and yea i do rope em accasionally when im bored but i mainly float fish for browns n steelys so personally idc if anyone snags salmon but i care about the trout.

I believe they will hit... but it is a very low percentage, real low. And for every 100 yards they get up river the percentage drops quite a bit. ;D
Just for grins and to prove a point to people, I have been known to drift a bare number 10 or 12 hook and mouth hook salmon. And not just in the corner of the mouth, but down in. There is definatly an art to mouth hooking them things. Anyone can learn the "whirrley chop" or the "chuck n duck" with a big hook and an ounce or two of lead... ::) ::) ;D
Sure I have pooned my fair share of fish and if thats your thing, great!
I'd rather run a clean drift with a little less weight and mouth hook more. Kinda like 50 hookups with 5 legal or 60 hookups with 20 legal. I'll take the later... :thumbup_smilie:

I guess everyone is eager to get out on the water to catch some "Mudsharks" (btw-mudsharks and trout are the same family of species so IMO one is not better than the other) and they must be really bored waiting, so they started this hot topic again.
Forest (adam2000) you didn't reply to the request to meet up at the transition point. Thanks HT.......I'll see you there!!!
Drake................why are you interested in my findings? Will my opinion on the topic change the way you view me as a FF poster? It's really not that important what I think on the matter.
My post was made merely to clarify for Gamma Fish that they were indeed talking about NY inclusively and not Alaska at all.
If I take Drifters words correctly and JJ7leaf's posts they seem to agree with the In-Fisherman. I do have my own opinion but I'm just a beginner and like I said before it really makes no difference to me what you believe on the topic.
I could take you to a stream in NJ right now with 40-60 trout stacked, some small, many 4-8 lbers and you could throw everything at them and they won't bite, mostly. What does that mean? Does it mean they don't eat? Does it mean that they recognize that a fisherman is fishing specifically for them? Are they in spawn mode? Why will some in the pod hit a fly while others seem to avoid it or move out of the way?
Some will argue things like the water is clear and they are spooked. Well why did I land a couple big boys then while in clear view of all of them just 10 ft. away? In fact, Gillripper1 said why are you standing in clear view of them? Some will say they are not interested in your presentation, i.e. the specific fly. Then why don't they hit when you throw everything you know they are eating? And then you throw them a curve.........specifically, a mudler minnow and one of the big ones comes out from under the bank and slams it while the others are moving out of it's way? We can argue our thoughts on this and many similar topics but we really have no scientific reasons to back up many of our thoughts.
A couple weekends ago I had a beauty of a Muskie (40+ incher) follow my lure in to the boat. I watched it about 80' away from the boat follow it all the way in and then when I did the figure 8 it swam off. Why? Why didn't that monster hit my lure? I wanted to kill that fish...........LMAO. Then the very next cast it did the same thing. It must have been spawning I guess. Or better yet, and I love this one...........the fish is educated. I'll bet those educated fish in the river are REAL tired from all their time in the classroom!! That's it......it has to be the reason.........they are so tired that they can't muster up any more strength to hit the next meal since they still have to swim another 5 miles upstream to spawn!
See you on the river............signed the novice!!!

bigger rivers like you have out by you they fish them that way quite a bit don't they gambell. Problem with the salmonriver is the first 3 miles are private. Once they get passed the dsr they are not feeding maybe agression but not feeding

-
well i have been fishing for these things for a long time now and always do the same tactic witch is force feeding them. catching trout is a whole other ball game with beads and a float and the CP. all i can say if i can try something different and see for myself that these fish will hit skein under a bobber in the estuary then man that has to be a rush. like i said the only real way to find out is to go do it. i got the invite to go with a good Friend and i am going to try it. no guarantee's that we will let you know what happens. we don't want to give our secret spot away ::) ::) ::) :-X

It's really not as tense as it may appear. I'm a novice from NJ, Snagger is really the man to give you answers but here's my opinion based on going up there since Oct. '09.
Fish the estuary in early September. Labor Day weekend. If you want Salmon then fish the river mostly mid September- mid October, then if you want Steelies, mid to late October right through the winter months. November might be a better bet and likely when you'll see more Browns. Oh yeah, Staircase and Altmar, Ballpark, Sportsmans & Tressle pools they're all good!!!! This map will help you:- http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/39992.html (http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/39992.html)
Also book a trip with Kevin on the Oswego..........google.........."Catch the Drift" and do a float trip with him. You won't regret it!!

A Monster Thunderstorm ripped through our area this afternoon, dropping another 3/4's of an inch of rain in about 15 minutes bringing our 2 day total too about 2.3 inches...great Drought buster...might not have filled the Res. much, but stopped that 1 1/2 feet a week it was loosing right in it's tracks....great news....
Well it must be August the salmon debate is in full swing... my 2 cents..you want to hook 80.....lift/line them, you want to maybe get 2 or 3 hook ups from real biters....fish for them... and yes I'm a great bobber liner at the genny, just because you got a float on doesn't mean you can't line salmon... Our river has no deep staging area like the Genny or even Oswego for that matter, so much less biters over here... too each there own..it's all about how many hook ups you want in my opinion...
I wouldn't doubt a few kings snuck in today, upwelling cold waters from east winds and the River has cooled decent this week, then the rains... perfect conditions, but I've never seen too much before the 20nd.....
Sunset tonight

The steam plant in Oswego used to be the same way, as they staged in the harbor they would also head towards the steamer discharge and we used to go to the break wall and fish skein on an egg sinker and cast glow baits out there all night.
Man i had almost forgotten about alot of those days.

It's shallow up there, 8 miles there is only 150+/-. Given all the time you spend out there figured ya would've know that. The deep "bowl" and finding 200+ you have to run back to the South western edge of Mex bay. Hence the reason most go out of OZ or the little Salmon. 8 miles outa oz & you find 600, 8 outa Mexico gets you into 300.

Man i had almost forgotten about alot of those days.
the steam plant was a great spot all fall, winter, and spring in the good old days. lots of long cold days there in my youth.
as far as salmon feeding/striking, i've been fishing the river since the hay days and was always in firm beliefe that they do not hit or feed at all once they start thier spawning run, as thats what most ALL beleived back then. now, having fished the river basically my whole life and catching thousands of fish i seen a different truth. i'm fairly good :whistling: lining/lifting fish. the majority of my fish are hooked on the mouth (be it the outside of the mouth), but i have witnessed on many of occasions, salmon turning and CHASING my prsentation (single anise egg or single egg/skien fly most of the time) and wacking it. now, i may only have that happen a few times a day and hook up ten time more lifting (which i dont do ::)), but it does happen., but for someone to say that they DONT hit at all is rediculous in my opinion. head up the the verick dam in a few weeks and drift some skein through there and your mind might be changed. just my 2 cents. and remember, if fish did what they were "supposed" to do, everyone would limit out every day within an hr. ;D

wrong sandy creek smart a$$. im talking about the sandy creek by gambell which is by rochester
-
8 miles is approx 500 - 600 FOW. The depth drops to 200' within 2 miles off of Sandy. Lots of structure in the inside waters too. Devils nose, Wautoma shoals, Light house point and Braddocks point are all close. Lots of good water for staging fish. There are some fish starting in 400 but not much inside that as of Monday morning. I have not heard if anyone has been out but things are more than likely back on the inside after this west blow.

okay my two sense is that salmon do hit but not to feed but out of aggression, if your throwing a rapala or a spoon at then eventually one will be upset and hit it, and as far as skein goes ive watched then in oswego pick up the skien in there mouths but i think they do it outta nature like.. dont leave any behind kinda thing to help preserve the species idk thats what i think
-
I know two things for certain. If you fish for salmon in a curl/resting water where they are holding/trying to hide...they have NO CHOICE weather or not to take the offering on their own. But on a slow drift, un pressured in deeper water (trailer hole is over 18 ft deep and the hole in front of pinegrove ramp is close to 20 aswell) don't you think a pedator that has done nothing in it's short life but eat to survive, just might take a swat at a bait? Their brain is more than programmed and now it's as subliminal to them to grab something with their mouth as it is to you or me to set the hook. I don't know about you but when I feel the tug I don't sit around and think about setting the hook..my brain took that reaction over a long time ago. I can't tell you how many coho I have caught or have witnessed others catch, on a pink eggsack under a float while steelhead fishing. I see it every year when the water gets colder in mid late October. I have caught kings on a pink estaz fly under a float in NO current frog water. You can believe what you want to believe..it's a free country but to me seeing is believing and I have seen this.

Not north of Rt 69 ! Up there, they steal your gun rack, Dodge Ram hood ornaments and the empty beer cans in your back seat :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: ;D ;D ;D

I'm simply interested in what you will report..
From reading your posts in the past, you seem like a straight-shooter that views things objectively, and does not imbellish with BS.
Ok that's fair enough thanks for the reply!

wrong sandy creek smart a$$. im talking about the sandy creek by gambell which is by rochester
Really I wasn't being a smartaz, you got me on one I didn't realize :bowdown: I forgot about & wasn't thinking bout the other one out there. I was only answering a question, not being smart... (that much) & ya got me. Congrats there Gomer, it doesn't happen much. I suppose though considering the occasion being jr's 1st b-day you were due. Again congrats on a better accomplishmet than anything else you could do, except for the fact he's pre-posioned with being a NY fan :-* :-*

Nope, strong winds though...
Heres another reason why our salmon don't hit well..gin clear low water, not nice and green like this picture..
me and my buddies up at the falls..

wrong orange left over egg sack netting works the best
KP and I remeber using that last year!!! ::)
-
what do you guys think is cheaper...buying sponges or tying egg patterns?
I know sponge is quick and easy just bite off a piece stick it on the hook and bam there you have it...but egg foam is real cheap and it wouldnt take more than a half hour to spin up enough for a day of salmon fishing....a season of salmon fishing might get a bit tedious.
I wonder if sponge sinks faster than an egg pattern though, or vice versa? any thoughts??
who's getting pumped up? For me I know September cant come fast enough. Looking foward to seeing the leaves change, feel a little bite in the air and watch salmon tear up some shallows and rest in the roller right in front of me. I know there are some folks out there that could care less about salmon but man....somedays it's just hard to beat it. I plan on taking out a few rookies to get them into there first freshie and I cannot wait to watch the looks on their faces, it will be epic.
good luck and and tight lines fellas, I can almost smell the kings in the Lake.
-
Just buy I thing of eggsack netting. Rip a little piece off. It stays on the hook and doesn't take up and of the hook gap. I think estaz flies are quicker to tie then glo bugs. But I don't waste my time with any of them til late october
-
I agree with Adam...pink egg sac netting, been using it since I was a little boy. It's what we had left over after running out of egg sac's while fishing finger lake's bows, the rainbows would still hit it even though there was no eggs in it anymore...So brought it north, great easy bait that stays on the hook...if theres any steelies around they'll bang it while your salmon hunting......
Satelite guestimates for this morning on Lake Ontario.... Took a River temp today. It's settled in at 71 degrees now in Altmar...
Below normal temps and above normal rainfall forcasted by many meteorologists for the next 2 weeks... interesting..

Remember Snagger in the late 80's 86-88 when they would raise and lower the river. late August was the ticket, two weeks before school started. Also Oswego would get a run of skamaina Steelies and kings. Not to many people here can remember those days. ;D
-

There calling for some sort of early season coastal storm Sunday...all the long ranges are pointing towards a pattern breakdown...this low that just went through finally buckled the jet stream... heat is forcast to be gone for a while... We could be setting ourselves up for a few minor runs in a week or so...We will see, I still say the bulk comes late, but bonus fish are fun this time of year..... ;D

1987 I missed the first 2 days of high school, my van was broke down in the ball park :w00t:...my mom was p i ssed...and yes the water was high on week days back then...man was that a fun major run....it was surprisingly crowded...
-
I used to fish behind Tony's! Now I am just dating myself lol.. :D
-
my mistake..I graduated in 87...it was 1986....
-
I do...I'm really looking forward to getting back into the Big Lake fishing...dusted off a bunch of dodger/flasher flies/squids, does anyone use cut bait anymore? Got the dipseys out, NK's, Locos and good old J-Plugs...hopefully they still catch fish...it has been a while for me...not even sure what the latest arsenol is...

The ballpark Huh? Hell we must been fishing next to each other, 26 years ago..lol I love the pocket water above the old bath tub that was in the River by that concrete thing.
-

Me and Rick were just talking about Tony's salmon Country the other day...remember the lines for fishing licences at tony's? wow!! and sometime in the 80's , that macdonalds sold more food during September than any other in the state .... I remember seeing it in the papers..... I wonder what ever happened to "Heavy Eddie"..?
-
I fix all the grills and the Ice cream machine in the Mcdonlds in Pulaski. They still do there best in the salmon season. That's cool for me, because in the fall I bring my gear up and go fishing before I go in there to work..

I don't do the lake, but the guys here still use cut bait, not sure.. but I think it's a little later towards september... same with the j-plugs.. I just here this stuff at the kitchen table while doing other things, I could find out what's what though...
-
Heavy Eddie..? wow now that's a name that I almost forgot about...lol..

I was a minor leaguer...I grew up on the little salmon...not nothing like it was back in the 80's and early 90's...

Hunt,
I have been running cut bait all season. It has been good. Erie Deeri freeze dried has been the best for me. Brine it in salt, sugar and water over night. Sushi flies have been good too.

Does Adam know the kings briefly moved inside of 100' 2 days ago? I was told the browns were 40 down over 70 one day....

The Little Salmon?
Man I used to fish the hell out of that place in the 80's.. up by the dam..at the Nuns"..flatrock falls ... at the turn above the bridge in texas,,.. what a riot... I got some video footage from 1990.. I used to drive up from Ithaca every wednesday with my uncle Johnny..my day off.. then work third shift and drive straight back up Saturday morning with no sleep, crash hard sat. night at the "Fish On Lodge"..fish all day Sunday and straight back to work again..
-
That was my home, I grew up right next to Donahues...Texicana...I would get off the Bus and my waders were waiting on the porch...after about 1992 I have probably fished the river 5 or 6 times...back in the day it was everyday from first run till first ice I was down there...Used to sell eggs to flatrock and sell the salmon to the drunk fishermen at the bar...to pay for my habit...great times great childhood

Texicana...Wow!!! I used to get really hammered in there, then at closing go over to the bridge and fish all night for the ones swimming around in circles by the docks I forgot about that bar...crazy nights there........man those fish fought hard down there, straight out of the lake.... ;D
I never sold any fish when I was young..... :blink: :blink:
-
LOL...that was my side yard as a kid...it used to be hopping...I got to see and hear a lot of stuff out there at night through my window...and then when I was older it made my commute back home pretty easy... ;D Yeah the fishing in river used to be great...very dissapointing now with the tiny run...Cheeks lives right on the river now and we go down there for fun every once in a while...he watches the fish from his window and calls me when they are splashin!

You fishin tomorrow Adam?, I don't think you have to look too far away now...once we get the next east wind event, then back to west ..we should be set right up for the season...
-
Hunt yes we still use cut bait. Jons has herring strips cut to rys davis specs. Sushi flies are re tricket though. He has them as well. But try are basically a tournament tie with brass wire smelled on the single hook. Then you can run whatever fly you want. Personally I like atommik. But the big weenie flashabou fly in the color lake o glow is slowly becoming my favorite. Early morning run white paddles with glow. As the sun comes out switch to chrome. Pm me and ill tell you my whole program. Im no expert like gambell or Broadhorizons but I have a decent idea of what im doing

Great info thanks guys...I'll be out there giving it a shot...not going to buy a bunch of stuff at this point but I am going to land some...the boat I'm using is a little challenging but once I'm out there its great...we will also be out there in my Buddy's BIG boat...probably won't be ready to fish with it till mid to late next week...

what do you have for equipment? i run 2 riggers, usually one with a twinke rig behind a spin doc or a familiar bite whole bait behind a big 13 inch salmon slasher, on my other rigger ill run a spoon with a fixed cheater early in the morning , then 2 wire divers with flasher /fly combo, then 2 coppers one with a flaher /fly and the other with a spoon or a meat rig. go dow and talk to jon at the little salmon or go to allseasons they both will set you i the right direction. im a fan of spindoctors some guys like the echips.
-
I run two riggers...the names of the different dodgers and slashers are greek to me these days but I have a bunch of different ones...I will probably run Green glow with green fly off one tomorrow and then I will run a silver or brass with purple/pink fly...and probably at least one cheater off port the rigger...also will probably run one dipsy...I haven't fished like this since the early 90's so all the new terminology is greek...I'll look to get some cut bait I have the old rigs for that as well...caught a nice Brown the other day on a frog loco spoon it was choppy out there so I stayed about 65-45 FOW...

im not a fan of the old dodgers by LJ, i think they are to speed sensative. flies are a must if you are using those old rubber squids ditch them, the flies from tom have so much more action to them. as far as your diver best thing you do is put wire on it. wire divers are the biggest producing rig out there. sometimes it gets out fished but at the end of the end its the top for sure. make a account on lakeontariounited.com there is tons of info on there and most guys are very helpful. as far as the big lake is concerned its alot more helpful then this site. also check out fishdoctors website. tons of info on there and he has videos of all the snell fly rigs and stuff

No...when I was a kid and worked on Charter Boats, he was out of Salmon Country then...he was the only Charter Captain on the river that wouldn't talk to me...I worked for a bunch of them...he just seemed to be better than everyone else back then so I guess it has just carried on in my mind...

well he's pretty freaking good,lol, i dont know him personally and never meet him. just learned alot reading his website and watching his videos
-
Oh he is one of the pioneers...I believe he was instrumental in many of the stocking programs, there isn't much that he isn't an expert at...I just remember as a kid talking to all the captains and trying to learn and he just never had time to even say hi to me...I worked a couple boats down from him for 8 years...

yeah stuff like tha can leave a bad taste in your mouth as a kid, i remember in 88 mark mcguire was my fav baseball player. my cousin got me tickets behind the a's dugout at yankee stadium . we went there early for batting practice, as he walked off the field i was on the dugout and asked for was auotgraph he said " get out of my face kid" i went home and through away all his baseball cards.
headed to bed good luck out there tommorrow

lol, ernie can be funny like that. we use to have lunch with him once in a while at bonnies after trips. i think the only reason i got to plug his mind was because of who i worked for. i learned a ton of info listening to him and gerry bresadola talk brown trout. who did you work for hunt?
funny what a small world it is, i use to fish the same area snag and you are talking about. i would run my (gerrys) little 12' up to the rapids just past the 104b bridge at sit and wait,, use to get some good runs back then. if i didnt see anything in the little after the trips, i would head back home to the salmon and take the adk guide boat down to the trailer or willow hole for the estuary fish. ahh the good old days!

I'm going down later to Salmon Country wanted to get out but the SE wind is more W/SW right now...waiting to see what the storms and waves are going to do...talked to some guys that went out today...wasn't good...I'm off all week PM me when you will be down there and I'll try to stop by...headed to the mall for a couple hours to get school clothes for the kids...thanks...

Just got off the phone with one of my buddys thats out there right now and they have rods moving. 4 majors a few skips and 2 steel landed. Weekends work the best for me. I could probably get down this evening, even if its just a couple hours. We can probably soak a couple lures. I will pm you my phone number and we can set something up.
-
Nice...if it goes SE and lays down and thunder storms are clear...we are headed out this afternoon...If you can PM me with direction and depth...my peeps all over 70-180 but they went more west...I'm guesing strait north today...?

I noticed everyone got quiet going into the weekend on the other computer areas I look at...alot of chatter at the shop yesterday too...wait til we get 2 east wind days then goes back west...that should kick her in gear...why aren't you out there Jrock?......
-
I have a benefit to go to today for a friend at work and tomorrow i have my work party. This weekend is looking to be to busy to be able to get out. If i can get a break i'm going to try to get out.

i'm firmiliar with all of them, but never fished with them except for gerry. i filled in on lou rennas southern comfort charters one day when i was 11 and ended up working the boats all summer and every weekend in spring and fall for 5 years. i really only fished a few boats, dixie dandy, miss conduct, hookjaw, and filled in on few other when needed. i'm sure we probably crossed pathes or fished next to each other many of times.

Done doing 75-90 hours a week ...bring on them ho's !!!!!!!!!!

Those ones down in 400' must have been to hot and looking for the Air Conditioned water.. For us at 100' we were right at 50.2 Degrees..Lot of fish... just didn't seem to want what we had..We got one Coho about 16 pounds.. rest were all Steelhead...

I'm itching to get up. I am close enough that a day trip on short notice is possible as long as I am off. Last year I was up just after the labor day weekend for a day trip and did ok, another day in the 3rd week, the week of the flood and the week after. I am coming up the 7th-14th of Oct and have a buddy thats up the week before and I will be doing a couple days with him. I would like to hook up and meet some of you guys. Snagger....when you going to come let me take you on a couple WNY Erie tribs..... If anyone wants to try something different and come to fish the WNY Erie tribs for steel just let me know.

I like this new pool...much better than the old pool.. Green steel bridge was rustic looking, but I think I like this better....still say they should have built a fishing parking lot under the bridge on the other side...

Higher than the town bridge on the salmon shop side.. 9 foot fly rods would be cake...you could run a 10 6 great on the north side, you'd half to get in the water to run a 13 6 float rod...or just get used to side ripping when the float goes under.... we will find out soon enough...

Nice and dry here..if the Res. didn't need water , I wouldn't care if it rained again til mid September.. less mowing and can get lot's of things done outdoors.. I think downsloping winds from the Adirondacks with these east winds are sheltering us from the rain right now..see what happens later...

oh yeaaaa might have to get things ready quicker then i thought
-
King at the trestle huh. I wanna believe it but kings don't run the river fast like cohos. At 185 with the warm water is it even possible for that fish to live more then 48 hrs. Some fish might go upriver quicker some slower. But I usually figure a day to make it past dsr another day to get to the trooper. Then sportsman. That's my rule of thumb for timing the runs. Im sure its not 100 percent but ever big run that came in I was at the hole about a hr before they showed up. I've heard some kings taking up to 3 weeks to get to the hatchery. Were cohos are up there in 3-4 days sometimes faster
-
Ive never even fished the salmon run before, thats changing in a few weeks Adam as I will be fishing with Frank, but I even found that hard to believe with all I have been reading and listening about how this all works...its not like stripers here in NH that can holdover for the winter...I know the Samon cant do that so maybe 1 motivated fish?? lol He just got lucky and caught the only one to make it that far up this fast?
Looking forward to my first trip for salmon the week of Sept 11th!

After reading all those posts about the Pineville bridge i have to let you all know that i fished that a LOT this past Spring.. and have to report that NO fish hold there At all!! I repeat no fish hold there..I had to fish there about a dozen and a half times before i figured that out and just wanted to save you guys some time by letting you know now...
-
I stopped in the Port this morning on my way through. Stood on the bridge drinking my coffee for bout 1/2 an hour from 6:45-7:15. Not one single swirl, wake, or jump. Dead calm, & nothing even remotely resembling salmon activity.

When the fish get closer, the charter boats get closer...
When the fish enter the estuary, the estuary turns into a parking lot full of bumper boats.
(i'd rather sit in a bar than fish the estuary - it is 100% Maroonville).

Hopefully you'll time one of the mid Sept. coho runs..they are silly...
my rule of thumb adam is 2-3 miles a day for kings, unless the water is cold like in october or very high like last year ... 185cfs and 72 degree water it would take some time to get up river.. I haven't read the SC nonsense yet..what is there salmon at my house? ;D

There was an ungodly amount of people driving around yesterday, must of seen 50 cars park near the bridge and get out and look around...A little too early for salmon fever..I'll wait til a good run comes in in a week or so Drake...
Just checked the stream gauges like trout brook and fish creek on tug hill, they didn't move much... I think Altmar received more rain than Tug hill.....that sucks.. now I got to fight my lawn and the Res. got cheated. I can't win...

Yeah I figure they jump to every big hole. Estuary to rope swing hole then to the black then town pool trooper sportsman and so on. But can believe it possible for a fish to make it to the trestle in 185 cfs andwater temp of 70. I dont

Well yes if it was Sept. 5th, but now is a stretch, but one could have made it... I just read the SC thread. one dead salmon and an old dead skam aint a run...on August 22nd 1998 the run of the century came in with 70 plus degree water..it took 3 days for the leader fish to get to the trestle...

I'd say you're 100% correct. The guy that posted on SC is NUTZ, prob pic from last yr. Even DSR delayed opening another week saying the water is too low & too warm.

what picture? I didn't see any pic's....Salmon are trapped if they make the move during a thermocline breakdown from east winds..If theres upwelling and they move from say 100 feet to the port, then the west winds return and all the cold water retreats, they have to do something...either move up or move out...water is the same temp no matter what way they go...but it's too early for anything with any meaning to happen...after the 20th..all bets are off...
-
Sorry you're right there was no pic, I was mistaken. That site just gets me. I know some early birds can show up, some in & outs to the mouth etc. Just anything I read from there normally irrates me to no end. The only other report they have is "Several pods in the port" on 8/10. The author also wrote the lake had flipped on the 10th and the cold water was in at 15fow. ??? ??? GUess all the boats just missed that.

It is pure Comedy Gold when someone dares post a pic of a creeled Steelhead and mob-rule accuses him of violating the Federal Endangered Steelhead Act.. ;D

Sorry you're right there was no pic, I was mistaken. That site just gets me. I know some early birds can show up, some in & outs to the mouth etc. Just anything I read from there normally irrates me to no end. The only other report they have is "Several pods in the port" on 8/10. The author also wrote the lake had flipped on the 10th and the cold water was in at 15fow. ??? ??? GUess all the boats just missed that.
the lake flipped huh, thats funny saturday we were in 270fow and the water temp was 67 degrees down 75 ft. im guessing he is just going off reports from coldsteel saying he was getting browns in 15fow last tuesday. bottom line when people i know say there fish in the river than there is fish in the river. i know this , last year i caught my biggest king ever in the last week of august, fish was 44 inches. hooked in the lower black and put up a mind ripping 10 sec run then let the current do the rest . i landed that fish in under 5 minutes and the river was much higher and colder.point being that fish would of taken me way into dsr terrority if it was mid sept .no way could a king run all the way to the trestle in a day at 185 and 72 degree water temp

Hey guys im new here. I've been looking for a while and have decided to chime in...
hey snagger if you saw a little boy just below the Altmar bridge that was my little guy and yes there were a ton of cars around looking. I saw a few kings in the hatchery myself yesterday along with some trout and or atlantics....I managed to slam a few smalliiez below the trestle in the late morning.
What really enticed me to chime in was the mention of august 98... ifollowed them from midle dsr to ball park that year when they came that weekend. They took their time from black mole to ball park to say the least. But by far it was the biggest run I ever saw; especially the first day they came in hard while fishing the joss hole area...
Sorry for the Lng post from a newbie; but snagger; I ran in to you back in 99 in mid august over at the Altmar hotel... you were there with a friend and we player liars poker with tammy til she closed on us. You let me stay over at the place that night and it was much appreciated. I slapped a chrome fresh king on your picnic table the next morning... do you remeber???
We'll again sorry for the novel...tight lines guys

Good story, they did move slow in 98, we tracked them from lower black to the papermill, after 3 days of a hook up on almost every cast we got bored... hmmmm..August of 99? If I closed the Hotel...what kind of shape was I in? I bet if you stopped by I might remember....

Well yes if it was Sept. 5th, but now is a stretch, but one could have made it... I just read the SC thread. one dead salmon and an old dead skam aint a run...on August 22nd 1998 the run of the century came in with 70 plus degree water..it took 3 days for the leader fish to get to the trestle...
i remember that run well! i had just had my shoulder rebuilt (was still in pt) and the fish were winning after the second day of 50-60+ fish!
i can also remember other years with some later runs in cold high water were the fish scooted up the river in a day or so. i remember reading an acticle before about the spawning runs in some of the rivers in alaska and they were saying that on some runs, kings will average over 30 miles a day if conditions are right. just a thought.

The King run 2 years ago on Labor day weekend, they made it from the lower black too the papermill in one day and were at the Trestle pool Monday morning.. River was 750cfs though so about 10 miles in 2 days..now Coho's can do the River in one day. they are rockets if the mood is right.. Just checked the hatchery, bad light, seen about 15 big browns, 1 fish could have been a king, but not sure...

Yup shane, I hit Dem in dsr the first day ; next day they were gone; went to tail of black with many runniing still. Later that afternoon ballfoeld was thick. Third day ball field was still thick right until until we left. Hooking up every cast is an understatement...
Is anyone in good shape at closing time???? Lmao.....we actually butted heads a bit at first when talking fishingbut soon after came to terms... I remeber seeing your 80s steelhead album...
I'll have to stop by sometime. Thanks

Butted heads? Not at the Hotel!!! ;D Everybody is king of the river when there drunk at the hotel!! The very last race way there was a big fish..not sure what is was..all the rest were way up top, and they were definely browns..

I wouldn't be surprised if we got a good run before labor day. ;) Seems to have been a cooler than usual summer. And i got a feeling we will get lots of wet weather the rest of the month.

I darn well hope we get a good run before Memorial Day!! If we don't a lot of people will be upset.. Guys were fishing today though.. Black Hole had 6 cars parked there and there were 7-8 guys fishing Long bridge .. So must be someone knows more then we do.. By the way Bazooka was only busting stones on the Memorial Day thing..I knew you meant Labor Day....

When it comes to august salmon in the river; you never know until you try. Even the sharpest eye can get tricked by what's lying in a fast deep run ;)
Plenty of smallies were around yesterday; even a few big red eyed uglies ... go get um

Well headin down there...

At first I thought I was going to half to put Griz on the list... no cars at the ballpark..no cars at the town pool..no cars at the long bridge..finally 4 cars at the black, but when I got down to the big black hole I found 6 guys drinking beer and watching there rods leaned up on there tackle boxs which were tightlining on bottom for whatever might bite. no one anywhere in pulaski fishing the rapids or looking for salmon.. Went to grocery store and came home.. Pretty much what I thought...nadda....
Even my buddy Mark got caught up in that nonsense horse terd talkin on SC..he was looking around too...

Really Sunny for a cloudy day? :P

heard there was A king at the trestle today....that fish must have flew up the river to make it to the trestle without going belly up. Looks like we have a warmer weather pattern moving in for the next couple of days, supposed to get muggy then rain towards the weekend.
This is the year that I start a fishing journal...been meaning to for the last couple years just havent kept up on it. Would love to have some notes on last year that I could refer to, like how many times I fished in August before I actually saw some action. Seems like I do this to myself every year....let the anticipation get the best of me and make a few more trips than I really should with the water being like it is.
Maybe i'll keep it in check and go after smallies in the morning again, been killing them on top water foam poppers/gurglers in the Oswego. Swinging them on a tight line and poping the rod as it swings through the current...unbelievable stuff. Fish will come back and hit these things a half dozen times or more. They'be been chasing the shad hard lately and these those poppers just trigger strikes.
-
Snagger.. didn't mean to cause you to run down there but just got it on a VERY good report that a SMALL pod of Kings did indeed come in today and there has been a FEW jumping and such in the estuary..Key words being SMALL and few.. Nothing major in anyway shape or form.. I Have fished with this guy for 35 years and he would not lead me on one bit.. if he says they were there then indeed they were there!! I still think it will be a couple more weeks till any amount come in...
-
By the way from what he told me everything he saw was down by Rt. 3 bridge..NOT further upstream...

When the sun peeked out yesterday I saw a few kings in the ladders. A few other guys and a lady saw them as well... the water was very dark though and visibility was tough... nothing to write home about though. And this is not a steel cage attempt; im just sayig what I saw....
-
No biggie man.. I am just saying what we seen. It was a down pour and dark out,, Did see a gull feeding on a four pound Brownie in altmar.

Me and the Mad Iceman were at the hatchery yesterday morning, didnt see anything in the ladders but the light was bad.
-
N ;)o biggie man.. I am just saying what we seen. It was a down pour and dark out,, Did see a gull feeding on a four pound Brownie in altmar.
Said well crappie ;)
While fishing for smallies yesterday my son got a little ways down stream from me and I noticed he was occupied very deeply with his 17 dollar push button zebco. Next thing I know he's yelling "dad I've got a salmon"... I look down to see him pulling on a monster brownie carcass that was picked away a little by the gulls. Even better; he managed to hook it in the mouth... I quickly ran down and snapped off my high dollar gamagatsu off set shank 2/0 along with my yamamoto creature I had on his hook. It was pretty priceless to say the least... btw; he is only four and a half...

We looked hard for fish in Oswego and the SR from 2pm till dark and came up with a big 0 .... spent a lot of time wading through the water and man.... it feels warmer than 70 .

are you sure they weren't browns you were looking at? there were some big browns there the other day

I thought this was kind of silly/funny so wanted to share:
Ask A Salmon
Dear Salmon,
After several catastrophic relationships, I've finally found the right man. But old habits die hard. After all those cheating jerks, it requires great will for me to trust this prince of a man. I find myself reading his mail, listening to his messages, even following him around. How do I handle this situation? I don’t want to ruin a wonderful thing!
—Worried In Walla Walla
Dear Worried,
Spawn! Must... spawn! Body turning scarlet! Must find stream where born! Must swim up rapids! Swim! No stop! Must leap up rapids! Upstream! Females upstream! Upstream where females are! Females will see red body! Will spawn with females! Must swim! Must spawn! Upstream! Must throw self up and over waterfalls! No stop! No stop to eat! No rest! Must spawn!
Dear Salmon,
I am a happily married woman with a loving husband who is also my best friend. We've been together for 17 years, and I couldn't be happier. But suddenly he wants separate beds! We’re barely into our 40s, and to me, sleeping apart is for seniors—or singles. Am I making too much of this? Help!
—Bugging Out In Bakersfield
Dear Bugging Out,
Spawning time! Ignore succulent caddisfly! Ignore mayfly! No time! Must spawn! No eat! No time! Ignore smelt! Ignore minnows! Swim! Upstream to spawn! Spawn spawn spawn spawn spawn! Leap over rapids! Leap rocks! Leap logs! Leap leap leap! River swollen with salmon! Tiny, pink, internal testicles swollen for spawn! Swollen! Swollen with sperm-rich spawning fluid! Fluid to drop on eggs in silt! Silky eggs! Beautiful eggs! Will spawn with eggs! Unnh! Must... spawn!
Dear Salmon,
My husband, who I love very much, was recently laid off. Ever since, he's been riding the couch, watching TV while I work to support us both. I know unemployment hurts a person's confidence, but I’m not his mother! How can I get him up and looking for work?

Positively... there were monster browns as well... it took time to get adjusted but after time I saw them. As said though; no competition here and all that post here are respected by me. Im just saying what I saw. The browns were footballs; far from looking like kings... the kings seemed to have been moving as well as I didn't see them hold in one spot for long... the browns stayed put. I saw 2 other fish paired up that were not as fat and quite slender with a greenish back... thought they were maybe steelies; but again it was low visibility...lastly I don't think any of the browns were 20+... ;)
-
there are a couple browns there at the hatchery that is and a couple atlantics there is one big one hangin around the hatchery is saying 25 plus pounds!!!!!! was there and spoke to a couple people that work there known them for years ex. use to work there..... hope i'm trusted for good info!!! lol

well i think if you cant find em with rod n reel...... use dynamite ::) ::) ::) BOOM shockalaka :o :o

But noone wants to follow a carp a mile downstream. Ill follow my first few salmon of the year. Then if they turn down and blow the run I set them free.

I'd say you're 100% correct. The guy that posted on SC is NUTZ, prob pic from last yr. Even DSR delayed opening another week saying the water is too low & too warm.
SC just wanted some page hits. That site is soooo 2008! hahaha. I got sick of it and tried to delete my account last year...it was impossible, so I asked them to ban me permanently and they did. Their help sections are decent, and there are a few good guys on there(the ones that haven't been banned yet), but overall it's not a very "open" environment, and the moderators are pure nazis. They're probably happy for salmon fever, now there might be more than two posts a day.

you wanna go out on the lake with us? Your more than welcome only 1 rule. You have to be entered in the LOC derby and have can't do a Monty degree turn in my boat when im trying to set lines. For some reason the copper doesn't like it. Lol
-
Wow enough pages since yesterday? I see everyone is getting the fever.
Adam said it best, he'll believe there's fish there when someone he knows tells him there is. I check the estuary almost every morning (didn't this am however), it's become a tradition, D&D coffee stand on the bridge and watch the sun come up. These reports personally I believe for the most part are people getting too anxious and seeing what they want to see. There's lots of resident fish & animals there that create ripples & disturb the water. However once they're in is there ever any mistaking Salmon? I was told yesterday afternoon 3 different times there were fish in ::). I was there yesterday morning, perfect conditions to see evidence, dead calm, still dim out. I was told they were all the way up at the Hatchery........ Most of the guys here I trust, ya I'm an az, and bust chops too much, but have the utmost respect for, then another 1/2 dozen, that aren't on the site, other than that :P :P :P This time of yr though I feel like a kid at Christmas! The river in the morning, eyes at night, then hunting mixed with trout & eyes, then walkin on water!

God I thought I shut the thread down... All joking aside I did walk up to the bridge today, with the run off going into the river, it was chauky, if someone seen fish, they must have eagle vision...

You just might be hitting a nice coho blitz if your lucky.. first time salmon fishing the River, you really should have to work for them, that way everything afterwards is so much more rewarding, but one thing..there won't be the crowds yet and just strap your korkers on an old pair of creek shoes..fishin in shorts is the best.. I don't put waders on til october....mid September River salmon is the best, maybe not the numbers, but the experience and weather can't be beat... I been predicting a slightly later run this year since April.. I think mid September will be better than late August and Labor day weekend this year.. We've had 3 consecutive MONSTER runs on Labor day weekend, with a cold spring..we are due for a slightly later beginning monster run this year..only time will tell..
-
Last sept was amazing. Labor day was just plain silly. Scott I thought you were coming up on the 11th

A monster run was on going on Sept 11th 10 years ago at the lower black, well we can't fish that beautiful area no more unless you want to shell out 45 bucks a day, we used to have a riot there during early runs..what a shame.... I missed it..I was glued to the TV that day in history.....

So was I....im in Abu Dhabi in the Middle East right now because of that day...will be home in 2 weeks.... but because of that single event life changed for all of us. I was working, doing Department of Defense work, in Atlanta when it all happened. I was in my office which overlooked the Atlanta airport runway....most amazing thing I had ever seen watching the entire sky have planes all coming in for landings and none taking off. As far as the eye could see in the sky airplane after airplane the whole airport looked like a parking lot for planes once they were all grounded.
Shane isnt DSR all catch and release now too? Even for the Salmon?

I just have alot of youthful memories down there before it was the DSR, and alot more memories from the lower black area...we keep getting pushed up river, which in turn makes it more crowded and more tention, plus the fishin isn't as good as the old days because of it...it's legal, so nothing you can do about it..but it was a fun place for regular folks at one time....
-

I'll make sure to be fully decked out in the 2011 World Series Champion gear as we fish....Whats Jeter batting like .240?? I'll tie up some Jacoby's!!!

good thing you didn't hook a king. You would of had a treble in the hand for sure. What were you using? Use glow and white spin docs in low light the switch to something with chrome like a gator. I like hammer flies and b fly

general rule of thumb is 12lb. when water gets low we sometimes go to 8-10lb and as high as 15lb during high water.. We use maxima ultra green or trilene big game.. clear..not green, fish can see it in calmer waters..

That was the problem last year with my hardside, we had a TON of slush almost all winter long...finally hardened up about the 2nd week of Feb...so pulling the hardside anywhere was next to impossible. Im gonna build some better ski's for it this year, but like I said I think im still going to sell it, its a lot of work to maintain and dragging it to the lake on and off a trailer is not easy. I live about an hour and a half from the lake I put it on so it doesnt get used as much as I would like. The portable is great and with a Mr Buddy heater its very comfortable. Tow it out in my otter sled and set it up anywhere we go...

Great to read all your guy's posts finally today. Meanwhile CrappieKiller and I hit the little lake and had a bunch of fun! Just saying! ;D

Yep..it sort of New York thing...not as common as it used to be.. I was showed by old timers of the day back on the finger lakes.. Opening day on Cayuga inlet or Catherines in the 80's was almost completly all fly rods spooled with mono..easier to flip your line in tight rapids quickly and accurately, line sinks fast, not like fly line.. you'll double your hook up numbers for salmon if you like fishing faster runs...
-
I just have alot of youthful memories down there before it was the DSR, and alot more memories from the lower black area...we keep getting pushed up river, which in turn makes it more crowded and more tention, plus the fishin isn't as good as the old days because of it...it's legal, so nothing you can do about it..but it was a fun place for regular folks at one time....
lower black was one of the spots i was introduced to 50 fish days, and the dangers of the river! it was 89-90 and i was 12-13, and the captians i worked with finally let me go with them down the the lower black (before that, i wasnt allowed to leave to black area) when thier was a huge push coming through. it was rediculous fishing, everyone hooking up with fish going everywhere. i lost a corker at some point and while crossing back upstream just above the lb at the first step, i lost my footing and went down!! the rubber waders started filling and i thought i was done for while floating through the hole. a guy a the dsr side grabbed me right above the next set of rapids. i was shook to say the least, but that day made me appriciate the river that much more and made me a much more aware when wading. ahh those old days were fun though, even when i/we did dumb things!!!
-
Can you us Flouro on Fly reels as well, or is straight mono the way to go.

I was just talking to friend I haven't talk too in almost 25 years on FB..We were reminising about parking just down from barkleys manion in a field... it was a mud pit with a large hill..what fun we had. the next year they came in with a ditch digger and dug it out by the road, so we went to the other side and paid farmer josh 3 bucks to access the River.. Farmer josh used to have this like 600lb pig running around....I was in 7th grade, which would have been around 1980..it was really flat down there..hence the name..."the flats"..in 84 there was a flood like last year that dug a few holes out in the flats..we called them the silo hole, schoolbus hole, coho hole, upper clay banks..lower bank hole...easy place to fish...if you can't hook em there..you got problems....
Flouro carbon..don't need it during the Salmon run, unless you plan on fishing the larger pools with spinning tackle..but ever since that rediculus 4 foot leader law came into affect, we don't fish the pools as much anymore.. Fish in fast water aren't as line shy, abrasion resistant line is important. with all the rocks..once they start spawning up river in the gravel, flouro would become important again. plus steelies waiting just down from the redds eating eggs...

Hey brookie; your first outing is almost identical to mine. First trip up was eptember of 1990.... I was only 10... we fished ball park all weekend but the afternoon of the last day we went down to tail of the black. They were coming through pretty good and back then it wad quite a circus. I lost my corker and didn't tell my father; he crossed me to the island side and set me up above him. Shortly after I slipped and went bobbing down. Luckily I had a hoodie on and he grabbed me by that... those are the last haystacks I would want to go bobbing through to say the least... although many guys have experience from 70s and 80s; it was still pretty crazy back in 90 ;)

too funny. that flood in 84 did ALLOT of damage. it literally ripped our docks up! i can remember the water at the rt3 bridge only about 8-10' open between the river (might have some pics)! the small shack on the corner of rt 3 was halfway under water (my fathers was the next property). i never fished the start of the fast water until 87-88 maybe, with my river mentor (mike flannigan). we use to go up to the clay and the schoolbus (maybe the coho hole also) and have lots of fun (crikets anyone? ;D) without any harrassment from the dsr goons. a few years after that, i was up there in my adk guide boat rowing up stream (nothing in cantact with the bottom) and the goons said i was tresspassing nd were going to have me arrested. i told them who my father was and they must of decided it was easier just to let me go than to deal with the old man! i think i remember farmer with the pig. my old man talked about it a few times.
and dime, i feel ya. the captians i fished with back then and myself all agreed that it was best that my old man didnt hear about my inccendent! he may of never let back down there!

90-94 was the peak.
-
We used to fish the DSR back in the 70's and early 80's also.. parked along side the road back then .. across from where the parking lot is now..Used to spend a lot of time down talking with Cliff and Jinny Creech..Cliff told us many times about running liquor across from Canada during foggy nights during prohibition..It was there i got to know Fred Kyper.. he was first river keeper at DSR.. also knew Cliff's boy and Les Wedge.. they were Fish Biologists out of Cortland as there wasn't a Hatchery then..Like Snagger said they were the good days.. i got sick of catching fish almost everytime i fished down there.. loved the Clay Hole and pulled a lot of guys out of that lower end.. I remember one day water came up and 3 of us pulled 5 Chinese guys out of river that came bobbing down..Still to this day do not have a clue as to what they said but think it had something to do with thank you...
-
90-94 was the peak.
great years!!!!!!!! 97 and 98 were pretty good too if i remeber.
-
Snagger... Do you remember a guy who used to work at Tony's they used to call Frenchy?? Just wondering what ever happened to him...
-
I used to spend alot of time at the silo hole after it turned to steelhead and what they now call the glide ...I sure we were fishing next to each other often..ole bruce was always down there.. Us Ithaca guys called the cliff hole at the bottom of the stairs Barkly built the Silo pool..
-

Tony's salmon Country..or tony at Big A's.? I think Frenchy is at fat nancy's.. Rob Clark I think..not sure...My buddy mark would know.
-
Yes .. that is where we fished all the time also.. Myself and a friend where usually on the rock that was just above the water in lower part of hole.. Bruce and his boys usually fished right above that hole in the faster water..I will bet we ran into each other quite often and never knew it it.. i started going up labor Day and was then up every weekend well in January..back then 1 steelhead every 3-4 days was a good time..
-
The one who worked at Tony's was a older guy who always talked a leg and both arms off.. had kinda salt and pepper hair..He was working there from time Tony's opened up for a couple years...

yep ... except Bruce always got more than one.. ;D I was always happy to get 3 anything more was just a banner day...but the quality was so much bigger 16-22lb. fish always around somewhere if you looked hard enough.....back then the winter(chambers) strain came in very late..like end of November, the strain hadn't been manipulated by the hatchery yet...
-
snag, just looked at a map of the river and it was the lower clay and the meadow run that we use to fish. we couldnt get the boats any farther up stream most of he time. and yes, we fished the coho hole often when we fished staircase. the old timer i use to fish with loved useing minnows for steelies! anytime george at port ontario tackle or woodies had the rosie reds, he would get dozens and kill steelhead with them!

our coho hole was the first tight run that bended to the north above the last rapids at the DSR.. not even sure if it's still there...
I still fish minnows in the winter, they are great..

got ya. i know exactly where your talking about (not sure if it's there either, been so long). took a beautiful 12 lb atlantic there one aug while fishing for smallies. what a surprise and fight that was!
tonys had some great mounts.

90-94 was the peak.
Those were my early years snagger; my father always warned my brother and I that the fishing will not always be like this... steelhead in 91 and 92 were phenomenol... I definitley got spoiled after that as steelhead dwindled in to the mid 90's.... had many trips up until 97ish where there were more lakers than steel in the river...

kind of funny the relationship to bad steelhead numbers and big laker numbers..now it's in reverse... maybe with fed budget cuts they'll reduce laker stockings...
-
Lakers are way down due to the hatchery problems a couple years back. I would not be suprised if the feds do make cuts in laker stocking.

seems like there is a ton of lakers this year
-

Wouldn't it be great if lakers were the bonus fish and steelhead were the norm...everybody has always wanted it, but nothing was ever done about it...i loved it when that hatchery had a power outage,another hatchery had a problem too the year before..i think whirling disease.. they netted Cayuga lake for future stocks, i think they are more hardy, but natural reproduction is way down on lakers because of muscle beds where they spawn...so everything is working out great if you like salmon browns and steelhead.
-
In the 90s when many were in the river we often referred to them as fakers.....still lmao over that onr ;Dsometimes felt like a boot in the current. Some of them were pretty effin big though...

Think about how much bait they can eat..they live to be 10-12 years old ..most salmon only live 3-4 years..steelhead 5 or 6 if your lucky...
-
They are pigs. When I was working o my buddies charter, we had a 22lber that has 28 alewives in it's stomach. Thats a lot of bait every day.

exxactly if you look at the charts ..... as the laker population crashed..the brown trout steelhead population exploded..people can say C&R and special regs did it..but that lake is much more dynamic than me or you...they are pigs GAMBEL...
-
I just wonder how old a 20lb plus laker is and how many alewives it consumes in it's lifetime.

Yeah, I have been fishing that way for years. I was just trying to stir the pot a little.... I use 10 or 12 lb Maxima Chameleon and would use nothing else. I started fishing the river in 1986 being station at Griffiss and although I relocated back to WNY in 1994, I haven't missed a year yet. I had a buddy stationed at Griffiss with me that was born and raised in Pulaski and he taught me everything I know.

ohh i cant waittt til this season
-
Sorry bout that Snagger.. They decided to work on the internet here and never tell anyone.. just shut you down... Yes i remember Big Eddie.. That was a really nice mount.. I don't know how many time we used to park behind Tony's and stay the weekend..Used to fall out the door and roll down the hill and we were right at one of the best holes on the river.. Just happened to think i used to own one of those Custom Vans back in the day when they were popular.. Mine was light Blue with a Dark blue Starsky and Hutch stripe on it..We either spent the weekend behind Tony's.. down at the Black Hole or up at George Pollack's gravel pit on the upper end of Trout brook...

Man I must have fished next to you a bunch.. I used to have a 1976 ford leisure van with tinted window's, bucket seats ..sink ..bed..refrigerator.. and also fished behind tony's.. used to fish big leaders at the tailout above the bears... That's what we called those guys that would sit on that big rapids in chairs til someone yelled out "Comin Up"... ;D
-
Nice fish Gill...hey what kind of bootfoot neoprenes are those? They look rugged... i'm always lookin for a decent pair, but I think after 33 years I'm going to break down and buy a pair of Simms...Theres just no reasonably priced waders anymore that last even one year..sad.. maybe i'll boil some walnuts and stain them so i don't look like a yuppie... ;D

thx snag, and i cant remember ive had them since i was 15 and im 19 haha i remember seein a pair like them at gander mountain for 130 and there really nice i use them for fishin and duck hunting there insulated and just awsome, oh and i sent you a request on facebook

SIMMS! Goodness, man! What will all your friends say?!?!
Half of the guys on this thread might disown you. Actually, with the respect you garner, those guys will buy G3's or something.
No shame in buying the best gear you can afford, Brother. Its not like you fish twice a year or something. Buy something that will last!
Not sure why some of these guys get so fired up about judging other anglers... Nice to see that open-mind of yours, Shane.
Before you know it, you're gonna' have longhair and crank Jerry tunes in the Starcraft! Okay, okay... That's a bit nuts.

snag I've always had goof luc with cabelas waders. My ne0prenes were like 120 and I've put them through some abuse duck hunting. My fishing one are cabelas too im on my 4 th season with them. My guide pros before that got like 10 yrs on them
-
Simms are real nice but man 500 bucks. Ll bean makes good ones too. I heard orvis is all hype but they do replace them only problem is your without waders every other week. All my stuff is cabelas sand I have no complaints and I mean everything all my hunting stuff except deer that's scentlok and all my waders.
-
If you get simms though then all re spey rodders will talk to you :o :o :o

Dont buy the freestones...they're garbage!! I was thinking the same thing last season...why not just spend a little coin and get a pair that will last...not.
One of the first times I took the freestones out I bumped up, and i mean bumped, on a rock with my thigh and it put a hole it them. Sure you can send them back and have the fixed/replaced for a nominal fee but as soon as you get them back and slip and take a spill in those forget about it...there's going to be another hole. I thought spending 200 bucks on a pair of waders would leave me set for a while but man was I mistaken...I guess if you want a quality product from simms you have to buy the top of the line gear. g3's....$550....come on...these are waders we're talking about.
On the other hand my father bought a pair of dry plus breathable cabelas and they are WAY more durable than my freestones...and I'm talking head a shoulders above the simms freestones. I'm going back to the 5mm neoprenes...durable, warm...and if you take care of the seems they last quite a long time and you dont have to worry about running into a stick going through the friggin woods in them.

Now that was just plain funny!! For some reason i think he has all ready went thru the long hair phase and as for Jerry well that is a whole other matter.. Snagger when i get up that way again i will drop by and say hello.. I was cruising around that way the other day on the Harley but it was more for something to do then anything.. That was the day i saw the guys at Long Bridge and Black Hole.... You might be to young for this but do you remember the guy from Syracuse who had the Black Lab with him all the time.. He fished below the Black Hole and his dog caught more Salmon then he did.. That was back in the day when if they caught you in the water before time to fish they nailed you with a 100 dollar fine!! We know as we visited your Court House on a couple occasion's!!!

Man I must have fished next to you a bunch.. I used to have a 1976 ford leisure van with tinted window's, bucket seats ..sink ..bed..refrigerator.. and also fished behind tony's.. used to fish big leaders at the tailout above the bears... That's what we called those guys that would sit on that big rapids in chairs til someone yelled out "Comin Up"... ;D
We moved from Down at what is now the DSR to up behind Tony's when they started charging to get in the DSR.. Think it was only Five bucks a guy at first but we were so ticked that somebody could shut down a great fishing area so easy and charge people to fish there.. I lived in Pa. at the time and there was no internet.. we were all smiles and giggles till we got up there and where we had parked for years now had signs along the road "No Parking"..I had forgot all about the guys in Lawn Chairs sitting in the River..LOL We fished many a day in the Fall down to Fall Creek for the run of Browns in the Fall also.. Also fished behind the Cemetary just going out of Ithaca many times..Hardly ever missed a opening day at Catherine Creek and the breakfast at Millport Fire hall...You could always find us at the Power Plant hole at Montour Falls....

Well I refuse to spend 500 for waders.. I've never spent more than 125 in my life..i was thinking you could get a good pair for 300 guess not..huh Erney...Well if everything is outsourced including Simms..it's a crap shoot no matter what you buy... Your right Addam up until 3 years ago Cabelas made a decent pair and so did stearns.. the stearns were rugged, but as with everything..since they didn't leak after walking through barbed wire ..they were bought out by toggs and they are crap now , like everything else.... what a world we live in...can't even pay up for quality anymore..

Did you ever see the guys at Ellis cove during snagging season on big step ladders..really ... there was always a few guys doing it...it was great entertainment while I would be handing out cards at the parking lot. Cemetary area on the inlet used to be awesome in November and I grew up on Fall creek.. I wonder how many times we actually fished the same pool Griz. ;D
-
Cabelas guidewear pro welded are the waders I have. I paid 279 for them 3 yrs ago just checked tree website they are on sale for 99

Anyone have suggestions on which product works best for repairing neoprene waders? I got a small hole in mine in April on the SR....
-
Cabelas or Hodgeman waders have served me well..
But I opt for breathables over neoprene..
Bootfoot for the really cold winter days.

Hot glue usually works ok...if ure gonna use an epoxy read the labels cuz some of them will melt the neopreme into a bigger hole

Aquaseal. I have even used shoegoo
-
Thanks guys! Will give it a whirl, Ive got ShoeGoo at home so that will be my first attempt.
-
I like the Aquaseal also.. it works real good .. I also bought a pair of Cabelas waders but i got the hip boots as i can not swim a lick and i tend to do really stupid things when i have chest waders.. The Hip Boots keep me out of trouble..What i am looking for is something that i can use that will take the place of korkers.. I had Open Heart a year ago and am now not in the kind of shape i used to be and the Korkers are heavy to tramp around in.. If any body has a idea i would listen...
Snagger.. Now you have me wondering if i ever ticked you off or hollered at you..LOL.. Back years ago it was a real Goat Rodeo up there at times...Never saw the guys on step ladders..for some reason i never fished the upper end much..

My bro is interested in the Redingtons with welded seams. I think these are the ones (see below). They are not cheap though. He did alot of research this year on the subject. I can't remember which boot he is interested in though. I hope they aren't a let down for that price. I bought a pair of breathable LL Beans for $95. The thing I like about them is anything happens they replace them free. I bought the Korker Chrome wading boot too. I've got a pair of repaired Red Ball boot foot as a backup as well.
Gillripper1 just got a sweet deal on a nice pair of Simms wading boots and he hopes they last longer than his last pair of boots.

I believe it's an ultra sonic process for the welding. http://www.branson-plasticsjoin.com/pdf/PW-07TexFilmChar.pdf (http://www.branson-plasticsjoin.com/pdf/PW-07TexFilmChar.pdf)
I'll probably get a tune up with the float set up this weekend on the Pequest seeing the water level is probably up enough to be effective. I haven't touched it since late spring. I was getting pretty good with the casting but in the Pequest it'll be more like point the tip and drop it since it is a narrow river comparitively speaking. I do know where a whole slew of trout have been hanging though and will stay upstream and out of view for the drift. Even though I caught a bunch a couple weeks ago while in plain view of them all.
-
this year i bought my first pair of breathables thier the cabelas breathables for like 120$ and cabelas ultralight boots felt bottoms with studs...they seem to be alright for the streams around here and now im lookin forward to salmon fishing without sweating my b***s off like in neopremes.
-
I had Open Heart a year ago and am now not in the kind of shape i used to be and the Korkers are heavy to tramp around in.. If any body has a idea i would listen...
I would keep the Korkers and just move around at a slower pace.
Nothing provides better traction than Korkers - in or out of the water.

coming out the 18th for the week, first trip out.... getting pumped

Hey bass; by far you get the best traction with felt and studs... I had an old pair of gary borgers with felt and studs and ireferred to them as my salmon stompers... I never wore them in winter months though due to the snow freezing to them when walking the banks...

I'm with you.. I'm a korkers guy, not the new gay ones that weigh 5lbs a foot, the older ones with just laces.. make sure they fit right and walk more careful....
-
I had looked all over for the old style and can't find a place that has them any more.. My old ones finally gave it up after 12 years and i had to have another pair..Am looking at a pair of Korkers PolarTrax Ultra Ice Traction ones right now from Cabelas.. wonder if they would last the season..
-
The only ones they had that would fit last year at Fat Nancy's were those ones called Studds.. they are a nice pair and you can change out the studs as they are threaded.. But dang they are heavy.. for me any way..To heavy and i have really thought about going without..But i know how bad that place can be without them..I will figure something out that will work i guess..But would give some one a heck of a deal on these....

They have all kinds of options on their website....

This spring somebody stole my brand new old style Korkers right off my waders..didn't take the waders(which were brand new) just the korkers...I was so mad.... if I locate a batch of the old style..I'll let you know..

SIMMS! Goodness, man! What will all your friends say?!?!
Half of the guys on this thread might disown you. Actually, with the respect you garner, those guys will buy G3's or something.
No shame in buying the best gear you can afford, Brother. Its not like you fish twice a year or something. Buy something that will last!
Not sure why some of these guys get so fired up about judging other anglers... Nice to see that open-mind of yours, Shane.
Before you know it, you're gonna' have longhair and crank Jerry tunes in the Starcraft! Okay, okay... That's a bit nuts.

I went to that page and was going to order a pair and they want 22 bucks just for freaking shipping!! I didn't mind the 69 bucks for the sandals but 22 more just to ship them.. DANG!!
Yep saw where Shane is reporting a boatload of fish of the river mouth...

You sound a lot like myself.. My knees are shot but they won't replace them till my Heart is completely healed.. which they told me takes any where fro 18 to 24 months.. By the sounds of it i will bet you used to work Construction also... I was a Union Carpenter for almost 40 years...

It gets worse guys.. but then you know it.. takes me close to 10 minutes just to get out of bed in the morning.. all the Itis brothers are after me... Wish i had only known that all that Drywall and Concrete forms were going to make me feel this bad...
-
Kinda funny.... I had a guy come work for me awhile ago and asked....." How many tons of lumber have you lifted in your days 'Ol Man?? " I looked at the 21 year old and said...."ALL OF THEM!!!!" Been a long road, loved every minute of it! ;) Father time will chime one day...I'm CERTAIN!!
I wonder how many concrete blocks and buckets of mortar 'Ol SNAGGER has lifted and carried?? :whistling:--KP 8)

I agree with you Kingperch.. I loved working Construction.. and still would but the Dr's told me no more and won't release me to go back.. So i retired and started collecting my Pension.. But i wasn't ready to give it up yet.. still make a few trips every week to see the guys and take their crap..It always made me feel good to know that when i was dog tired i gave them about all i had..sure would give most anything to be able to do it again... Proudest moment was helping clean up the Trade Towers but it was also the saddest..They only let Union Guys work there...

Jons is out til monday. Allseasons is also having a big sale. I saw okuma 30's loaded with malin wire for 80 bucks. That wire is 42 alone

Construction from age 16 until 25. Roofing and framing mostly but I've laid a block or two. Then airborne infantry for the next 7 yrs. My back is shot and so are my shoulders left the vs the other day and my good shoulder is now worse then my bad
-
Simplecarppieguy used yaxtrax for a while til I got sick of seeing them slip off his boot and gave him a old pair of korkers. I have those chota boots with the screw in hex heads. They work ok but the screws wore out fast I went through 4 sets last year. Nothing grips like korkers but its nice to not have to ducktape stuff on my feet

I have to tell you and I know you guys are going to say Bla Bla..... I wonder how much if any fudging of the numbers has gone on in that time period... It seems like they start the hype for some weather a few days before... and it happens... The 101 degree day we just had.... the radio station I listen to gives the temp every 15 minutes or so... the temp was 99 degrees for hours ....then the temp jumped up to 101and them back to 98 or 97 in 15 minutes... Second hottest day on record.....
I don't think a hurricane has made landfall in the USA since like 2008...Remember how bad it was suppose to be after Katrina.... then theres the story of the key man made global warming scientist fudging the numbers .... :whistling: :whistling:

I don't think our meteorologists are in on your conspiracy theory Esox...these are just some local facts..if you read a little further .. it was slightly warmer from 41-70.. Theres no disbute as to whether the earth is warming..the debate is..is it man made or just a natural cycle.?
and yes that day of 101 and an incredible dewpoint of 79, was the 2nd hottest day I can remember.. lake breeze ruined are chances at an all time high that day..
That's a much more reasonable price Fishgalore...

Both guns are like 8 years old or better... Just had one rebuilt !! Can't believe they both went the same day!! I never caught the roof was 3/4 by 6" tonge and groove.... I wanted so bad just to roof over it and not nail it off.... but thats not me.... So I did the right thing... Figured what the heck it's an 80 dollar box of nails and a couple hr's time ....then the 260 bucks on the gun blew it out of the park !!

Paslode framer I had didn't make it til lunch. Don't try anduse them outside in the winter. It shot the piston that drives the nail out with it. Took it back got a new and a hr later same thing. Took it back and never used it under 50 degrees again. Never had any problems with stanley bostich. Its nice not having to drag a cord around though. I have a paslode trim gun still no probelms with that but I don't make a living using it anymore so that's not saying much

I bought the cordless paslode framer when I was doing a ton of vinyl only time i ever had trouble in the winter was when they were freshly lubed up ...got it mostly to nail off the sheathing that the framers missed and build box returns up in the air... I have a cordless siding stapler and 2 trim guns... all have worked great .... they are slow..

wow do nail guns really work on salmon :w00t: i guess i will have to have one of those in my tackle box right next to the sponge ;)

I got a couple old Hilti nailers kicking around here somewhere..there like 20 years old..
And they probably work a lot better then the New ones being made today.. Everything is made to be disposable now days..When it breaks just toss it and get another...

Cordless nailguns? :rotflol: :rotflol: :sick: They're for women & maintenance men, not real carpenters!! :-* I guess a real crew might have them, stored right next to the skyhook, left handed wrecking bar, & the board stretcher ::) ::).
I have a paslode somewhere, haven't seen it in 2 yrs. Also have a Bostich 20V cordless roof gun, That's a good one. Tried it once for about 5 mins, then decided to test it's areodynamic features. Flies pretty well from 2 stories, landing? Not so much. It's been sitting broken in it's case for 3-4yrs.
Hitachi NR83 Round head Best, lightest, & fastest guns I've ever owned.

myself to my worker "i'm gonna need you to go to the truck and get some 3/1 oil, soft nails, and the board strecher". my worker, "i think i found the oil and nails, but i cant find the board strecher", me "JUST GO GET IT DAMMIT!, it's the little big silver thing on the truck, cmon man". as the rest of us were laughing uncontrolably, he went back to the truck looking for the board strecher, and he still to this day thinks he found the "soft" nails. too funny.
oh ya, i wanna play with the injuries. 15 year carpenter/mason, 5 year competitve football player, and 28 year hockey player (6years competitive). plus was in a wreck that twisted me up good. 6 knee surgerys, 1 shoulder rebuild (still pinned together), broken every finger on both hands, both ankles, both wrists, and have a buch of glass floating around from the car wreck (and a bunch of smaller stuff also, including concusions). my doc always jokes with me about having the body of a 60 yo guy in my 30's! i loved my days as an athelete, but i pay every day for those years. then going into the construction field made everything worse. hopeing for a new knee in the next year or so.

Funny you should say glass, i was still picking it out my skull from a bad car wreck up to a few years ago.. i wasn't driving..but it was a bad one..
I got a few pic's..maybe I'll post em later..

Don't forget the "Level Bubbles" Sent a Apprentice looking for them one day and he came back 5 hours later and said he had looked every where and couldn't find them..He had asked every person on the job site if they knew where they were..
-
Had one guy a few yrs ago go dumpster diving. Told him we needed the rest of the OSB brought up. He asked "What's OSB?" (keep in mind it was his 1st week but he told me he was an experienced laborer) I told him OSB was just short for "Other Sh!77y boards". He spent the next hour collect crap wood from in & around the dumpster.

Griz - hard to tell from the pics - but make sure they got ample lip around the edges to secure your feet (avoid twisting out of them).
Unlike Snagger - I like the ghey models with the straps ;D
My first pair had the laces, and I lost one mid river - must have caught the lace on a snag...
The strap models are fugly, but I have found them to be bulletproof.
One thing I notice in your link is that you can see the tops of the studs on the sole almost looks like the are pop-riveted or something like that.
I have the K5000's and the studs are not visible from top view - probably because the sole is thicker (and heavier).
I have a brand new pair in the box that I bought years ago (was afraid they would discontinue them).
I still waiting for my 12 year old pair to wear out - they may outlast me.
Good luck on the river.

wow do nail guns really work on salmon
if you hold the guard back, they work on birdnests from a rooftop vantage point.... ;D
-
That poor guy about a week later he finially caught on. However he caught on too much. It cost him a 12 pack of beer for each guy. The guys were plumb & lining the 2nd story walls I was about to begin cutting the roof. When I do Hip & valley jacks I use both a right & left handed circ saw. It's quicker & don't have to flip the rafter or move to the otherside of the cut station. I told him to get me the left handed saw. He got TICKED off thought we were screwing with him again. Started hollering, then said "BS! There aint no left handed saw, I calmly told him yes there was & go get it." He said "I'll bet every single one of you a 12pk you can't get a left handed saw outa there" Needless to say those Budlights were tasty!!! Poor guy we did give him a beer though......
-

Ya don't even have to hold it back, take a 2 3/8 .113 sheeting nail, hold the guard back & wedge the tip of the nail in it. No more safety.
Not that I've ever done that :whistling: :whistling:

Board stretcher that brings back some luaghs. Bcons yeah I didn't think a cordless roof gun what ever be able to keep up. Had a new guy once told him to move 2x6 studs. 2 hrs later he still hadn't moved the pile from in front of the house to back. Watched for a minute he was carrying 1 at a time. He didn't last very long. Never showed up the next day after I told him 6 minimum

I just got back from the marina at Oak Orchard and was talking with a couple guys who just came in.. Told me they are moving back out and deeper.. they were fishing 400' of water and 135-140 down..But like Snagger said last night was insane and today they are getting a lot of fish also...

Yes.. they are the ones i want..i have used that kind for well over 30 years and haven't had any trouble with them.. Never lost one but do know those who have.. first pair i had cost me 14.99..Honest to God!! They lasted over 15 years.. and last pair i had lasted 12.. The studs are what they call push thru's.. that is why they look like they are rivets..When you first get them it is not uncommon to loose some of the studs.. so you take Duct tape and put over them till they wear down a bit.. once they do very seldom will you loose another one..

What size and brand of hook is the best for salmon?
-
I was out last night off of Sandy Creek (Hamiln) Fish are still offshore here too. 200 - 550. Another week or 2 and the fish will find thier way back towards shore. Last year the staging started the last week of August.
-
What size and brand of hook is the best for salmon?
I don't know what every one else uses but for myself i like a Mustad 7970 in either a 4 or 6.. They are 5x strong and have never had a Salmon straighten or break one.. for Steelhead i use mostly flies and a then use them in size 6 and 8 along with the Mustad 36890's.. but those are my preferences...

They must be doing something out there again today.. must be 20-25 boats parked in parking lot at State launch for Sandy...I stopped by there for a bit but no one was coming in while i was there..
-
My buddy is out. They are doing good offshore. NOthing huge but some decent low to mid 20's kings and steelhead.

i been running mustad 92625 #2's my whole life.. if it's a hot run ... #4's, that way you can pull em out if you don't want too loose your spot, they'll bend usually .... not break.. just bend em back with my teeth..

Just got done looking at some lake reports... it was a slamfest out there today in front of the River..everybody was on them hard..the Salmon are here in good numbers.....
Got this E-mail today from a friend...
Went to South Sandy today. While i was there I noticed huge piles of gravel above the falls (Monitor Falls ) I walked all the way up to see what it was, there had been a big piece of equipment digging up there recently because of the big crater in the center of the gravel. I knew there was something wrong & sure enough when I looked in the holes above & below the bridge they were filled up with gravel & silt. I found gravel & silt all the way down to the big pools. The ledges below the flat rock pool were half cover with gravel . The place is really a mess, who ever did it they should be locked up. I was talking to a local junker who was swimming with his grandson & he said it was one of the farmers who did it. I reported everything I new & saw to the Jefferson County D.E.C. , Steven Bartoszewski 315- 489- 6984
-
jesus...just what that spot needs.
-
Guys,
Explain it to the newbie...so what does that mean? I thought that gravel beds were good for the salmon? So reading this does that mean, this guy dug up a bed and ruined the spot?

bcons, just caught up from yesterday and was cracking up about your laborer. too funny.
snag, the glass sucks when you hit it just right. the small pieces in the back of my hand are the worst. got a pretty big piece in my neck that doesnt bother me at all though. go figure.
taking my new boat out this afternoon and all day tomorrow to try for a loc fish. might go deep tomorrow, but going to stay a little shallower today. i'll let you guys know how we do.
-
Well the upper part is going to suck for Salmon...We've all seen how out of control that place can get after a big rain...hopefully we get a good gully washer soon to wash all that crap out of there for steelhead...thanks for the heads up Mayor...
-
Well Today is August 20th time to pay attention to every east wind
as it could result in a pod of fish breaking free from the main group and heading into the port....
This map shows upwelling but i don't buy, east winds just started and there not that strong yet..

How long till you think the first one comes in out there?
im thinking out here in Burt Country, its going to be atleast my birthday of Sep. 23 till we get our first run. Lake Temps are still in the mid 70's and all the kings out in lake are bright as a dime. But did get some nice brownies in 80 feet of water on thursday (https://www.myfishfinder.com/fishing_forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fa4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net%2Fhphotos-ak-ash4%2F298356_10150346884611424_748346423_9804781_1501907_n.jpg&hash=86c04a61ae36f40a40ec60aee5084f0b)

Our fish always come earlier than yours..usually a small run in late August..sometimes a great run during the release on Labor day weekend sometimes not ,, then we nickle and dime our way through Sept depending on weather and how many we wasted on labor day.....main run usually starts around 23-25th with what ever weather event we have at the time..

Thanks Snagger! ::)
sure was fun.
but ya we usually get a very small run around the 15th of September. then the main run comes right around the 1st of October. i might come up for a day around Labor day. atleast i am thinking about it. im itching to get some kings and have some fun in a creek, and it feels like it is going to be forever over here. but hoping to get some pier action on Monday night, that cold front looks promising to push some fish in. lets hope for North winds to push some cooler water in tight

Missed the chance to go out with some friends this AM. They were sure to call me & rub it in. Off the water by 10:15am, 3 guys 8 for 11; 7 of them were kings. They said it started getting a bit choppy around 9:30. Mentioned thermo was weird, with this wind that's gotta break it up a bit. Fished SW corner of Mex bay.

Fishgalore is Correct. What I would have to ask is, what are you planing to catch on the Skein? Well if you are planing on Salmon with Skein, Well... I have my views on that, I can tell you this much Skein on a floating rig off the piers and estuary's deadly for kings.. Not one right after another but you'll get fish (kings). Now if you are planing to use the Skein for trout in the Rivers here's what I would do. Fish during the week wednesday-thrusday (less people) bottom bounce or float it around. If there is trout around they'll hit it and I would say, the size of your thumb nail would be a good start. I would Start fishing Skein in the RIVERS Ohh, Late Sept-Oct for trout but earlier on the shoreline of the lake. IMO, Skein is very hard to cast, it won't stay on you hooks very well, One bite and is gone and Fresh is the best and I mean right out of the fish and onto the hook. (no cure) Again this is just my opinion. Have fun out there.

You know what though Frank..5 years ago I had some health issues and when I was in the hospital, the doctor recomended me eating 1 meal a week of cold water oily fish like trout or salmon.. He said your white meat fish like walleye and perch don't have the oils that help your heart like trout and salmon do... He said the health benefits to your heart out way the risks of mercury poisioning , if eatin in moderation...true story.
-
Might be closer then you think Bro lol. That king that HT landed yesterday, the stomach was tight and hard. also the kiep was starting to form. I'll be poking around on labor day with HT, Adam and esoxv just don't know where on the river yet.

I have so much fish to I'll keep them and give them away also. I heard the same thing, Fish oil very good for you. Salmon and trout is the best also. Good thing we have such a great put and take fishery here. Out of the lake or fresh in the River its all good for you.

Picked up a quick 5/8's of an inch of rain earlier....was just outside working..it aint done yet..it's really humid and the sun is poking through..I bet some real good storms get popping soon... cold rain this morning 64 degrees after the storm ended.....

Yeah we always have fun, for the record. The busch cans in the cooler were not mine and we usually don't keep skippys but frank wanted to try to smoke them whole. The 400 copper was the best setup in the morning firing 5 times. The king Ht took came on a wire diver out 200 over 98 fow. I haven't been able to do anything on my Riggers. Every fish came on spinnys with mtn dew and hammer fly. That was a very thick heathly fish Ht took. I thought he was gonna have to tap out after about 15 mins
-
That would be a yes! Creeks or River I'm sure. Gillripper1 was using them last year in the river.
oh i was talking about the skein i caught out of browns out in the lake, i wasnt sure if they would be as good as they are usually when you catch the fish out of the creeks and rivers. the strips are about half the normal size i would say. but eggs look like they were coming very close to make this fish want to run and spawn soon.
-
I still haven't done much off my downriggers either. I think i was running my spinnie/flies too far back (15-20 ft). I'm going to try running them tighter to the ball (8-10 ft). I was going to say something about the busch cans too! :sick: Nice fish guys!! I'm jealous as it's been t-storming my last 3 days off. :-\ As far as skein goes...a buddy of mine did really well cutting it up and tying it into sacs last year. He said he's going to do the same this year. He was surprised at how well it worked.

I've tried it all joe short leads, long leads, the 100 ft method. Using cutbait, whole bait, 3 fly rigs, paddles spi. Docs, clean spoons. Cheaters, even tried a j plug yesterday. Just cant get them to go. All wire divers or copper. Yesterday that big king came in water that was 63 degrees. All other fish were in 49-53 range. Where you been going out of joe?

Last time out was last Sunday. Got a 25 lbs er. Launched at Port bay and headed towards the twin stacks in Oz. Started washing lures when i hit 80-90 ft. Turned around past Fair Haven in 300+.

I think the dipseys and copper are more stealth. The fish aren't near the boat. IDK...think i'm going to run extra wire dipseys for my "3rd rod".

After i had my Open Heart Operation my Cardiologist told me to take 4 2 thousand milligram Fish oil tablets in the morning and another 4 at night..I also eat 3- 4 meals of fish every week.. And have cut out all red meat..i have a small glass of red Wine every night before bed and last time i went to Dr's my numbers were perfect.. He was happy with where i was and if he was happy then i am also... I promised myself i would NEVER go thru that ordeal again..It's really funny how much you change when you are looking at your own Mortality....

C'mon 40 how and Idk is that good

Hey Bcons be careful looking at that saltelite image...when i first started looking at it 2 years ago, i thought those black areas was upwelling..but it's cloud cover that the satellite can't see through. Sometimes it's upwelling, but most times its just clouds..
Well today is the 13th anniversary of the biggest August Salmon run I've ever seen, August 22nd 1998..there was also a great run on this day in 1994 ...Today would be the Day I'd start looking for them after yesterday's rough weather....We recieved no east wind days priar to these thunderstorms , so I wouldn't expect the run of the century, but I bet a few came in and some more might come in today and tonight for tomorrow and Wednesday..We got 4 separate storms yesterday with temps in the 60's for 3 of them 1.4 inches of rain total...good luck if you go looking......
Yesterday 8 am rounds 1 .... beginning of a long rainy day

Some of the temps certainly seem low, however it's blowing 15-25 out there and according to NOAA's monitoring the blow has stacked the water on this end of the lake pretty good, some serious upwelling going on apparently.
However some of it I'd have to guess is a bit off due to alot of their data is derived from satelite sensors
-
Oops snag beat me to it. Yeah I know the Sat's can throw it off. It just got me wondering though, because NOAA's site & their info which is based of the bouys, & stations has a bit there too. Their stuff is much more vague and generalized, however this morning they have a bubble off the South Shore from about Sodus to fair haven thats upper 60's. Just got me thinking.

tough couple of day fishing the new boat. 0 for 2 on sat afternoon, and only 1 release with no one home yesterday after the storm. slowest 2 days i've i think i've ever had out there, but got to figure the boat out a little and get her organized. we did find some really good temp breaks from 90-150 right n front of the river (oswego). lots of bait just above with some fish in the break, just couldnt entice them. i also saw a guy fighting a fish right at the lighthouse/breakwall (oswego) sat night on the way in, so there are fish testing the waters, just not sure how many. we didnt see any porposing in the harbor at all. talked with a couple capt that did real well out deep, and a couple that were just east of the plant. no exact number though, kinda tight lipped.

Dam made it to the hatchery ?

Not wishing any ill will to the people of the southeast but we need to look at Hurricane Irene as a possible source of heavy moisture by early next week if it stays on this projected path. I can remember a few years where tropical leftovers have dumped big rain on the river system.I dont keep a calender but i think there was a big one on the first or second 9-11 anniversary,river was rippin,i was flippin from the stairs at the ballpark loaded with fish but you were not going anywhere with them.2005 the Katrina year i think there was a couple a big tropical rains that made there way up.

I keep records..heres from my calender for 2005:
Katrina slams area with 4.4 inches of rain..estimates to 7 inches on Tug hill...brookfield raises River to an incredible 6000cfs on August 31st(at the time I thought that was pretty high for non snowmelt}
Brookfield ramps water down to 2500 on Sept 1st, then again to 1250 on the 2nd...Got a phone call from Markie at the LB to get down there...arrived at the LB at 2pm timing the water drop to 750... Me , Mark, Dave and Johnny all hooked well over 100 fish per person....no FB , twitter or mobile internet back then..we were all alone as usual..those days are gone foreever..
-
Any record on the 9-11 one,not sure on that year just remember ceremonies on drive up.

I miss the LB, apart of me died when that went away,id cross that river at 4am with extra spools,hooks,lead,sandwiches, and at least a 30 pack and stay till dark.
-
Your not alone..We've had so much taken away from us on this river....
-
Toughest thing to deal with low water years is guys that normally wont venture to far out in the river do and get right on top of the runs,when the Black was open at least it spread guts out more.

Does the DSR have anymore power to expand? I hope not. At least they'll never take Altmar alive...we hope.

They have owned to the high bridge on the south side forever..only a matter of time til they own up to the bottom of the Town pool on the north side... Altmar, there is alot of DEC easements at this end of the River, but they could buy the school.... :-\
-
they'll have to escort me away from the high bridge in cuffs.
-
Seems like no one really fishes the LB that pays down there are they allowed to pay then drive to the LB lot or do they have to walk up

Once they have a pass, they go where ever they want for access, The first 2-3 weeks guys get passes leave go to Pine Grove launch just to boat back up to the Island.
Which of course that does raise a question. Since that part of the estuary is in fact navigable how do they get to check passes?
-
Anyone know if the ballpark changed much?havent been up since right before the flood but the bank across from the launch on the island was starting to cut in pretty deep behind the downed trees.

any one catching any

i hope that hurricane comes this way! out here in burt country...
Lake Temps out of Olcott are mid 60's going to the pier tomorrow night to test my luck for a big fresh silvery king!

Altmar, there is alot of DEC easements at this end of the River, but they could buy the school.... :-\
There is an existing permanent easement on both banks where the school is, but I would not be surprised if a political trick was pulled out of the hat by scumbag Barclay.

Lets just hope it never happens :-\ Thats one of my favorite areas on the river

the sad and scary thing is the river i grew up fishing that was public fishing from the d**n to lake ontario has been slowly gobbled up by greedy people , making a fourtune on salmon that honest fisherman paid to stock ... and they were able to do this by introduceing a fake elitest vision on a put and take fishery were the very fish were picked that would not hit and were dieing after the spawn !
it is amazing to not only see the pure greed but how gullable honest fisherman are .....
-
Me and Dave did a big walk from the lower black to the high bridge...nada!!! no fish..!!! maybe tomorrow..River did change alot in that area, so it was worth the effort...
-
BINGO! ;)
-
So no double BINGO!!
-
It's Coming!! BINGO BINGO!! lol
-
LOL
-
We effectively fished every pocket slowly...if there was even one, he'd be dead right now... Man the River has really changed, mostly for the better too, we spent alot of time memorizing where the divets, and shelfs were for later after the water gets higher...
Sunset thunderstorm tonight in my back yard looking towards Tug Hill....

I read an article on a court case involving the owners of the DSR and some local guides. I guess the policy used to allow boats to pass through legally as long as they didn't leave the boat or anchor down. The case mentioned shut down that debate. I wonder if those ballsy guides involved against the DSR are still kicking around?
In Vermont we just walk up the river past the private property and fish it, just never touch the banks. Some people have called the warden but he has never done anything but set them straight. Is river and property laws different in NY? or is the DSR just an exception to the rule.
Wonder what they'd do if we ran every boat in the river through the DSR and out at the estuary. ;D
-
cant do that , barclay owns the river bottom too >:( it is one of the biggest travesty's of our so called justice system i can think of :cursing:
-
Is that NY law? or DSR law? I hope it isn't state law, because that would suck for NY anglers.
Someone told me a while back they put up fences accross the river at night to keep fish from going up. :rotflol:
-
as far as i know its dsr only . he's a squid :P
-
i was on the 9th tee yesterday when round 2 hit :o :o :o :o still managed to scratch out a bogey on a 187 yd par 3 with a 30 mph wind in my face and driveing rain ;)
Coach, Roadkill and I were fishing out of Charlies on the Northshore when the 7:00 round came through. We toughed it out though. Ruined the fishing though.

I'm just waiting here in WNY for the word. Have Wed and Thur off after Labor day and am planning a run up on that Thur if the fish cooperate. Got into them last year same time frame after Labor Day.

Cold one out there this morning!!!

It's the whole state of NY.
The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division and reinstated the order of the supreme court, holding that the public may be excluded from fishing in the privately-owned portion of a riverbed.
I looked in to this a long time time ago. I was in search of steel on some new tribs and got the boot out of a great spot that didn't even have posted signs hung anywhere. I argued my point but was very respectful. After some research I found the land owner was right.

And like the most of you guys when Barkley closed off the fishing in the DSR i almost called it in.. Was sick about loosing where i had fished since i first started coming up there.. I know quite a few guys who did call it quits..I am sure if he gets much more of the river there will be a revolution that he won't long forget.. but all he will do is call in the National Guard or his henchemen to take care of his business.. I for one refuse to give the bastard any money for fish my tax dollars helped pay for!!
-
im with you , im surprized so many people do pay to fish there . he will never see a red cent of my money >:(

Change happens slowly and people get used to it, plus you have new generations up here now who never knew the River back then...90% of the people on the River now have less than 10 years experience... I still run into people from the 80's on the River, but it's less and less every year... Alot of new people on the River just in the last 5 years...Think about it though, if your only up here 2 or 3 times a year..45 bucks is still cheaper than say 18 holes of golf. Me and Dave seen 2 new houses being built right on the cliff at the Staircase yesterday and said oh boy, it won't be long now....
49 degrees this morning here and lake effect rain showers again like last night...

When you have the Influence and power the Barkleys do then you can most anything.. Money will buy you anything you want.. I have said it for years that if the Government wants to get rid of you all they need do is trump up some charge and you are gone.. I will never forget the day we pulled up to fish down in the Meadows and where we had parked for years now had No Parking signs put up..Back then there was no Internet.. It was a sad day for us.. And like i stated earlier a day that brought the end to a lot of friends fishing up there.. Over the years i am sure that is why a lot of guys have given up both Hunting and Fishing.. I have given up Hunting after moving in to New York State as i have not got a clue as to where to hunt and have not been here long enough to make friends that will allow me to hunt someplace.. Nor does it look like any time soon i will have that privilege either.. In years past being a Union Carpenter and made the move someplace i used to be able to make friends and be able to hunt.. But soon after we moved up here my Heart Problems started and not being allowed to work any more i don't get out much at all.. I cleaned up the Flintlock a couple years ago now and it has sat in the Closet every since..When i was younger one could hunt and fish almost any place you desired.. But not any more..Places to do so are getting to far and few between..I used to say that i would hunt and fish till my last breathe but even that was a Fallacy.. With just a couple people being jerks land and streams are being lost every day.. Those of you that have places to hunt and such feel glad about it as it could be taken away tomorrow.. I never used to think that but have found out by experience just how true it is..
Sounds like ole Barkley is on a mission to make the Salmon River the Barkley River.. Many will laugh at this and say it can never happen but take it from one who know's..It Can Happen and then we all suffer for it...

NJ must be different since my brother told me a story about him and a buddy that drifted by on the water where private land was marked with signs........no tress...fishing, hunting, etc... A conservation officer was on the shore and asked them to come to shore and Mike said they just laughed at him and said why so when we touch land you can write us a ticket??!!
They just keep on fishing and apparently were legal so long as they didn't touch ground!! :flex: :whistling: :clapping: :bowdown:

I agree with many of 'Wills' Republican views and legislative practices.... but I do not feel that a person, especially an Official should have that much control over a waterway, which is worldwide known and so well attracted to. That family is simply using their power to capitalize on a goldmine. They use their staffing to work the "conservation" bogus theory. It's all about the Benjamins for them.....who's kidding who. ;)

And here's where many of you will be praising Barclay in the future ! With many of the property owners along the river getting old and retiring or passing on, their land very well may end up in the hands of developers who'll tie up every inch of the river if they get the opportunity ! Some of their kids who are left the property may sell it off to other individuals who may possibly be anti fishing or just doesn't want to look out their windows to see people in the river all day. Posted signs go up and you lose more access.
It's then when you'll wish Barclay would have bought up even more of the river as it'll be the only game in town other than a few small state owned areas.
I don't like what Barclay has done up there but one thing you can count on is that it will be forever wild and open to the public to fish ! Every time you see a house being built on the river or a for sale sign go up, DSR looks better and better ! ;)

That my friend i would not count on one bit.. 25 years ago i would have never in my wildest dreams have thought that you would have to pay to fish part of a State stoked stream! The world is changing every day and not for the better..It's all about greed now and how much one can put into their bank account..If what you say is true and after watching what has happened the last 20 years i have no reason to doubt you.. But i think what will eventually happen is fishing will become more and more for the Privileged..It will become like England or Scotland and even Ireland where you will pay thru the nose to be able to fish a small stretch of water and the better places bringing the higher prices..it is getting that way now and will continue to be more so that way in the future.. The common person can not fish in England on the Great waters any more..Am sorry but no one can ever convince me otherwise now..Barkley will do as he seems fit and he will not even think about the common person when making his decision!!
-
what a horry story to think of. I hope it never gets like that.
If it ever does I wonder if there would be a privately funded stocking program. Or would there even be any? I would still buy a fishing liscense but man...would I be upset if a cent of money went to a river where I had to pay to fish....wait a minute...... I do already!! If i'm going to help fund stock a river (and I know my $29 doesnt go far) then I should be able to fish it...period.

I guess it's official. Well almost. The DSR great debate has made it's yearly presence. Next comes the beatings on how fake their fish reports are. I say stop yer cryin and BRING ON THE FISHES!!! AND SOME PICTURES!!!!

Hey Gamma I don't want to get into a debate , but there will never be a day when I'm thankful about what you said.. Back in 87 if they had just made a small short private club on there own land, I wouldn't have cared, what people do with there own property is there own business. But to lobby surrounding landowners and pay them to manage there River access and River easements is about power and making money ....period.....I'm not against someone trying to make a living...I'm sure now that property values are way down, they are buying and building as we speak..people with wealth think a long ways into the future, they are crafty and have all the tools available too them...A recession is when the wealthy make the most deals and acquisitions for the future..... I don't hate them at all, but it is not the direction I personally think this River should be going in. It won't ever be any good for the average lower middle class guy, just the privileged...

Mark my words ! You'll be praising the Barclays in the future ! It's the money and goverment pull that they have that will keep the state stocking the river and lake when the rest of the river property gets bought up and put off limits to fishermen.
New York State doesn't have the money (so they say) to buy up parcels on the river as it becomes available. This would be the ultimate scenario for all fishermen if they could make those purchases.
As fishermen, many of us have sat back and and taken for granted that out license money is all we have to come up with to guarantee the future of our fisheries !
Many complain about special interest groups who're out trying to keep the fishery that they love, a well kept and forever wild place with public access. Others have never been to or even heard of their counties Federation of Sportsman who fight for the rights of sportsman across the board. If more people would get involved with their county Federations and other organizations that work to maintain or obtain more rights for sportsmen, your voices would be heard by the people who need to hear it in Albany !
Everyone sits back and complains until it's too late to get anything done and then it always the other guys fault !
I doubt very much that if anyone of you owned a section of the river like Barclay does and could make quarter million a year charging fishermen to access the river that you would say...."Oh no...I'm keeping it open free to anyone who wants to fish it" ! ::) ::) Keeping it open may be your first thought but when the tax bills and upkeep expenses hit you, you'd change your tune !
Just my opinion :whistling: :whistling:

Well, all I can say is that if you happened to own a piece of the property adjacent to Barclay's and they made you a deal that would pay your taxes and put a nice yearly paycheck in your pocket, I find it hard to believe that you or anyone else would refuse it ! Especially back in the late 80's !
I see things differently because I have no vested interest in the river . The few trips I make there each year are nothing ! I'm not a big water trout and salmon guy. I try to look at things from both sides of the fence. Some people don't like or want to hear what is on the other side.
Others refuse to see it and some will roll over and play dead ! :-\
You admitted yourself that the $45.00 per day to fish the DSR is reasonable compared to what it costs to golf 18 holes or participate in other sports.
It's like choosing a hotel ! You can stay at the Town & Country in Central Square and leave with cockroaches in your clothes or stay at a Ramada in and be treated like a king for a few bucks more f

"New York State doesn't have the money (so they say) to buy up parcels on the river as it becomes available. This would be the ultimate scenario for all fishermen if they could make those purchases."
Ummm, they would have if they weren't paying 30 million dollars to buy lands off of the Nature Conservancy, and miss appropriating funds that are supposed to go into the wildlife fund but are going to be directed to the general fund.
Local groups are not allowed to help the state out around here any longer. We used to follow the trucks and help stock, organize groups to do clean ups, but have been told for insurance reasons we can't help any longer....and we need to apply for some dang permit to remove trash from the waters of creeks and rivers...
Come on, do you really feel that the money paid to use the stream will be directly used to better the whole water system? Or just to maintain an area for paid users.

Things have changed... it once was the state that was securing the stream easements for everybody ... Now it appears they are selling it off to the highest bidder...or influence...
-
One thing I can say is that that used to be a real dump down there before he closed it off. 45 a day is just out of the question. This I do know if I owned both sides of the river and law says I own the river bottom. Noone would be going on it. Sucks cause I really like fishing down there. But it is better than having them build a 1000 houses on the river and having all the silt clog up the mouth
-
I heard that the kids want nothing to do with it. Maybe when the old man passes away they will give it to the state
-

And this is where the problem lies ! With the state being broke (so they say ::)) they're selling off parcels of these formerly public fishing areas because they're easy to sell and the BIG money is waiting !
That's why being part of a Sportsmans Federation or the NYS Conservation Council will be a benefit. Strength in numbers ! They are the voice of the NY Sportsmen/women in Albany !!

This I do know if I owned both sides of the river and law says I own the river bottom. Noone would be going on it. Sucks cause I really like fishing down there. But it is better than having them build a 1000 houses on the river and having all the silt clog up the mouth
Thank You ! ;)

The main problem is NYS law & the ruling in the case. Most states ANY navigable waterway & the property owners own to the high water mark, not the middle.
So if you walked in the river or floated it fine, just no access to or from their property.
The ruling in this case sets a dangerous precident. Since they defined navigable in fact vs. navigable in law as being based on tidal flow, what about all the other rivers? 3 rivers isn't tidal, it could be argued by deffinition of the Barclay ruling that this makes them navigable in fact, not law. Therefore do all the people in Esox V's neck of the woods own to the middle? If not why not? Those rivers are conected to the Hudson tidal yes, hower the Salmon River is also connected to tidal flow by Ontario & the St law. What's the difference?
I could see if this debate was over Orwell or Trout, since could you force a yak through? Maybe, maybe not.

I'm done with this rediculous debate....
For anyone who's paying attention...south southeast winds are howling right now...upwelling cold water ahead a posible rain event tonight and tomorrow morning... could be fish down low Friday.. We had no upwelling with the last storm....that's what was missing.........have good day boys... ;D

"New York State doesn't have the money (so they say) to buy up parcels on the river as it becomes available. This would be the ultimate scenario for all fishermen if they could make those purchases."
Ummm, they would have if they weren't paying 30 million dollars to buy lands off of the Nature Conservancy, and miss appropriating funds that are supposed to go into the wildlife fund but are going to be directed to the general fund.
Local groups are not allowed to help the state out around here any longer. We used to follow the trucks and help stock, organize groups to do clean ups, but have been told for insurance reasons we can't help any longer....and we need to apply for some dang permit to remove trash from the waters of creeks and rivers...
Come on, do you really feel that the money paid to use the stream will be directly used to better the whole water system? Or just to maintain an area for paid users.
New York State has plenty of money... They are just giving it away to every nonproductive low life in the state .

I don't own squat of the river... I believe the state has a right away along the entire canal system.

I agree, I know you don't own squat of it, they do have a right of way. Just how is one different from the other?

Im not saying I agree with it. But if I owned both sides of the river I wont let anyone on it if I didn't have too. With the c and r that goes on there and and everything else. Of course they will side with him. Money makes the world go around. End of story.

Change happens slowly and people get used to it, plus you have new generations up here now who never knew the River back then...90% of the people on the River now have less than 10 years experience... I still run into people from the 80's on the River, but it's less and less every year... Alot of new people on the River just in the last 5 years...Think about it though, if your only up here 2 or 3 times a year..45 bucks is still cheaper than say 18 holes of golf. Me and Dave seen 2 new houses being built right on the cliff at the Staircase yesterday and said oh boy, it won't be long now....
49 degrees this morning here and lake effect rain showers again like last night...
i dont belive so many people would pay 45$ to play on a public funded course , thats my beef and he seeks to expand constantly . hes a greedy turd and anyone who thinks hes doin us a favor is just plain handicapped >:(
-
Dots im not sticking up for the guy but atleast if he owns it it wont be developed. I was building houses when gulfstream off lakeshore rd went up. I built plenty of the orignals houses in there. Do you know the problems that caused on oneida. Dec was there every day making us shovel the mud out of the rd. Think about if that field off rt 3 was a development. It would destroy the river
-
I'm not sayin it doesn't have some pros Adam , I'm just sayin it all about money for him everything he does . you and i paid for those fish and we cant even fish em from a boat , that's wrong man . i totally get not lettin people poop all over you're land, but this squid hired the gestapo and invented laws to benefit him and we all lose out . we shouldn't have to form a special intrest group to benefit our own specific needs to keep a piece of watter public , a body of water witch the only draw is the public funded fish that get stocked in that water :cursing:

Well like snag said change happens slowly. It will only get worse

Well like snag said change happens slowly. It will only get worse
of that we can be sure my friend :'(

Well, all I can say is that if you happened to own a piece of the property adjacent to Barclay's and they made you a deal that would pay your taxes and put a nice yearly paycheck in your pocket, I find it hard to believe that you or anyone else would refuse it ! Especially back in the late 80's !
I see things differently because I have no vested interest in the river . The few trips I make there each year are nothing ! I'm not a big water trout and salmon guy. I try to look at things from both sides of the fence. Some people don't like or want to hear what is on the other side.
Others refuse to see it and some will roll over and play dead ! :-\
You admitted yourself that the $45.00 per day to fish the DSR is reasonable compared to what it costs to golf 18 holes or participate in other sports.
It's like choosing a hotel ! You can stay at the Town & Country in Central Square and leave with cockroaches in your clothes or stay at a Ramada in and be treated like a king for a few bucks more f
I own 156 acres in Prime Gas Drilling area in Pa. and try as they might i have not signed on with any Company nor i plan to.. I am not rich by any means and bought the land and Cabin years ago for what most would call a steal now..I was a Union Carpenter for over 35 years and am now retired and although that money would be nice Honestly exactly what it do for me? Make me pay way higher taxes..buy a new car.. or a nice trip.. but the land would in turn be destroyed..And what good would that do for my grandkids whom i plan on leaving it to..My point is not everyone is greedy.. Barkley probably pays a lot less in taxes and such then you think..I would be willing to bet on that..After all he is a politician isn't he?? As for Sportsmen groups..i have belonged to them for way more years then i care to think about.. I saw this coming a Long time ago..Not just in New York but Pa. also..You are so right.. to many times people just sit back and figure some one else will take of the problem and when they find out no body will then it is too late..I hope i never see this in my life time but i would be willing to bet i will....

Your probably the smartest person out there in Western pa not signing with anyone, you will be the only one soon that has a good water supply. I live in eastern pa, no gas drilling going on hear and it really doesent affect me at all but it really burns me up knowing that DEP and the DEC are not doing anything about the contamination that's going on out there. I work for a repair facility that works on gas and oil delivery equipment if they spill a few drops on the ground someone is allways on the phone complaning about it and DEP comes rite out and check into it usually resulting in a fine or written warning and they allways have to clean up the mess, but these bastards are getting away with murder out there and no one is doing anything about it!!

Saw a tv show on that. These guys were lighten the water coming out of there faucets on fire. Scary stuff

Actually the Cabin and property is in Sullivan County.. Just across the Bradford County line..And that is exactly why i WON"T sign.. I have already saw a native brown trout stream that was polluted from Fracking..Used to be able to catch nice Native Brown Trout in the 12-14 inch range.. no longer..New York is smart and are taking it slow but the Gas Companies will be here soon also.. Money buys anything.. I have friends in Pa. who built 250.000-300,000 dollar homes whose wells are now bad and the homes are almost worthless.. The big joke in Bradford County now is that the Water Buffalo is the new State animal...It's not funny.. they are killing what used to be good fishing creeks and DEP does nothing but give them a small fine..They are all called Gasholes down there.. I had one company tell me that i should sign because they will take the Gas anyway.. They can bore down and then Horizontal... But we have surprise for them they aren't going to like .. has already worked in a couple other places...
-
i shouldnt have opened this can of worms...sorry
-
I think you guys need to go to the pa board and read the thread on natural gas and fracking, if you want i'll personally take you on a tour in Bradford Co. and you can see for your selves the pros and cons of natural gas development. Remember keep an open mind and don't look at it from one side or the other, i live here 365 days a year and yes i have wells drilled on me so i'm not going to try blowing smoke up your azzez when i say the media will twist every event that happens in gas country. Who knows, if you take me up on the "tour" you might be able to fish the "bubbling" Susquehanna and i'll show you how polluted the river is from fracking and gas development.

well guys...if you ask you shall recieve.

No thanks.. Lived in Bradford County for over 45 years and know it well.. I have watched enough just going to the Cabin and back and visiting with friends..We will see what kind of care all the gas money will buy in Cancer care in a few years...The people in Dish Texas and Colorado are finally finding out...Sorry guys this is a extremely touchie subject for me.. i am done and will not comment on it again!!
-
A closed mind will never be opened, 52 years still on scene and experience it everyday. One question, if you lived here for 45 years you must be familiar with Dupont, masonite etc. and what they and other companies put in the Bell Landfill that still causes problems to water supplies and is a superfund site, ok enough, this is a Salmon River thread, the gas stuff is on the pa board. Sorry Shane if it got to something different.

what a beautiful hen ernye!
im so stoaked.
Guys i need a pin rod i had a crappy sheffleld last year that blew up in my face on a brown non the less.
im thinking im going to buy the St. Croix wild river ML 11'6.
any suggestions?
-
That st croix is a good rod. How'd your break the sheffield? I have a aventa the cheaper one and I have horsed in kings with it no problem. I think the aventa can't be beat for 80 bucks. Frank has a browning and a cortland that are both nice. Esox compared has low end raven to the aventa and there is no diffrence guides are even spaced the same. If I get another it will be the st croix
-
i was fishing at burt. and i set the hook into a brown. it was over 15 it looked like a salmon, but i knew it wasnt by the way it looked when it rolled. and you can just tell. you know what i mean. and as i was in the middle of my hook set it blew apart in the middle of the rod.

I bought the St. Croix Avid 13' earlier this year. Can't really say how much I like it since I haven't hooked anything big with it yet. Just a couple of small brookies and rainbows.....missed a couple too! It is a long rod and will take some getting used to . Shane said to long for fishing the whole day. It's 5.9 lbs. It can be a pain in the arse when fishing in tight spots with limbs hanging over the river. I don't think you can go wrong with a St. Croix of any kind though. My brother loves his eyecon for walleye and Hybrid bass. Best value for the price.

I blew mine up horsing a brown into the net in some heavy current in the OZ river. The blank broke near the cork. I got a new section under warranty:

-
After i got it back i sold it and got a Raven Matrix. They're a little stiff/fast action but not a bad stick for $139. Pick up a St Croix before you purchase. They seemed really whippy/slow action. Just depends on what you like. I personally don't like a rod that bends to the cork.
-
ya i picked it up today at gander mountain.
im debating between the Raven IM6 11'6 Light
or the croix. but the croix did seem a bit flimsy.
but even all my bass rods are a parabolic action so i dont know what to do..
i just do not want a rod where i get a clean hook into a nice hen mud shark and fight her for 20 mins i hate having to do that...
so maybe the Raven is a better choice?
-
Esox compared has low end raven to the aventa and there is no diffrence guides are even spaced the same.
I wouldn't say it's low end....It's a Raven IM 9.. all season has it on sale for 319.99...
-
My buddy claims to have whupped many a salmon and steelie on the Raven IM6 11' 6". I've never fished one. The only thing about Ravens (and all factory rods) is the top guides are small and ice-up quick in the winter. I agree with you about not wanting to be under-gunned on a big fish. I had a St Croix UL noodle rod that would bend to the cork on a 5 lbs rainbow. I hated it! But when i sold it, the guy that bought it had 3 of them and loved them. But he swore on running 4 lbs test for steelies. To each his own.

My buddy claims to have whupped many a salmon and steelie on the Raven IM6 11' 6". I've never fished one. The only thing about Ravens (and all factory rods) is the top guides are small and ice-up quick in the winter. I agree with you about not wanting to be under-gunned on a big fish. I had a St Croix UL noodle rod that would bend to the cork on a 5 lbs rainbow. I hated it! But when i sold it, the guy that bought it had 3 of them and loved them. But he swore on running 4 lbs test for steelies. To each his own.
Well, you won't be under gunned with a St. Croix Tidemaster if you use it for Salmon or Steelie. As for bending to the cork my St. Croix Premier 5'6" light action did a great job with a 7+lb female rainbow on.......it bent to the cork but I was able to keep her contained pretty well. It was the net man that did a bad job :cookoo: :cursing: :wacko: but Gillripper1 landed her later in the day. She was spent but wouldn't easily fit in the net....when she rolled over tired the hook let loose and she had just enough strength to swim away. Here's a pic of her on the Nj forum just scroll down to view.

Same thing for lpv89..........I might bring my St. Croix Tidemaster up with a spool of 50lb braid on the reel just so I can land as many Salmon as possible QUICKLY!! They won't have a fighting chance with that set up. It's my Muskie/Striper set up. 2/3mins at best with that set up!!
From lpv89:-
ya i picked it up today at gander mountain.
im debating between the Raven IM6 11'6 Light
or the croix. but the croix did seem a bit flimsy.
but even all my bass rods are a parabolic action so i dont know what to do..
i just do not want a rod where i get a clean hook into a nice hen mud shark and fight her for 20 mins i hate having to do that...
so maybe the Raven is a better choice? ..........No Tidemaster will do the trick :rotflol: :rotflol: :flex: :flex:

anyone ever use adventure river rods??

wicked shots Snag. must of been some storm to snap so many photos of lighting...especially with multiple bolts.

i was fishing at burt. and i set the hook into a brown. it was over 15 it looked like a salmon, but i knew it wasnt by the way it looked when it rolled. and you can just tell. you know what i mean. and as i was in the middle of my hook set it blew apart in the middle of the rod.

Does that make it catch more fish as compared to a $69.00 rod ? ::) ::) ;D

Heres some shots from round 2......
believe it not we hadn't even gotten a quarter inch when I went to bed at 5am.
The storms were all falling apart after coming onshore from Lake Ontario.

I would be curious about the pfluger..they made the best fly rod as far as strength for years til they stopped making them last year..i got like 5 of them i been running for salmon since the 90's.. I've had very good luck with my Im6 Raven 13 6.........
I'll be picking up some cortland fly reels tomorrow for salmon..the guy there says they will take the abuse..we will see...
-
My next cp rod will be a tangent.

I think the Cortland stuff holds up just fine (generally), Snag...
They are infused with the blood of Red Dragons... So that always helps a bit.
Im anxious to hear your reviews after you put them through your paces this Fall. FISH ON!

Jimmy I asked the guy if there was a $70-80 reel i could beat on salmon with, he claimed they had one..being most things are made over seas..it's a crap shoot.. i personally own some high end stuff, was just trying to find a reasonably priced reel for guys just getting into the sport. I really like Cortland products alot. best noodle rod going...
what's a tangent Adam? The only advice I got for anyone new or older..buy your rod at a store so you can feel it..balance is everything with float rods......i'm a pretty strong guy, but if it's not balanced it will cripple your carple nerves in your wrist.really

I like your storm pics.
Last week, I sat on my deck at dusk and watched a thunder-boomer rolling across the sky about 10 miles south of me.
Pretty cool - large white puffy pillow clouds with lightning flashing inside them.
Looked like big light bulbs flickering.

The Tangent Custom float Rod 354 is designed in Canada, and its a new release for 2010. Upon assembly, this rod offers a lightweight feel, and seems to be well crafted using quality components with adequate guide spacing for its length. Its mid range and bottom-end power seems intact & complemented by its soft yet crisp-controllable tip, which should be beneficial for accurate casts and light leaders. The makers are indicating the tangent's design and specifications are inspired by the Sage 13'6" float rod, and at 1/3rd lower in cost, it rings in at a bargain price and a sure winner riverside.

Check Ernies link ....next rod after the G loomis... They use a high frame guide for the tip top.. similar to the Tim Damon custom Rod i'm using... it's nice because the line doesn't angle going from the high frame guide to a standard tip... The ring size high frame tips are tiny... so it also allows you to have a larger ring size on the tip. It has a metal reel seat which could bea problem in January

Adam - I always get a kick out of the modern marketing literature associated with fishing equipment.
Reminds me of the J Peterman catalogue on the Seinfeld show. ;D

No matter what you decide to purchase, make sure it is properly balanced with your reel.
Snagger's comment about sore wrists was spot-on.

Hey Snag - If those reels dont make a passing grade, check out a Pflueger Trion. They can be found for under $100. We have three that have survived 5-6 salmon seasons. I "had" one reel costing 3xs as much that didnt last 3 hours one big hook-up # morning...
As for the hand on the blank - I have seen you do it, and Tank will but it is a carefull opperation. Most rod breaks that I have seen up there are from that or the blank getting dinged by splitshot then blowing up later...

I grab the blank on every fish .... even walleye and bass, but you can't own these new light weight chauky blanks (I don't have to tell you}...they just don't cut it.. I only own rods you can throw in the back of your truck hundreds of times..
The new Hurricane data is really ominous... glad the res. is 8 feet low... atleast is was.. i'll have to run up there.. foot of rain in eastern new york is posible..

What do you guys think about the fenwick rods? They make a 9'6" noodle rod I like but I found out that they are made in China so now I'm looking at a 13' st croix avid float rod. American made. I'm 6'3" and have big hands so the larger cork is not a big deal, I'm just wondering if it is too whimpy. Does anyone run a 15 footer? I borrowed my buds Okuma Sheffield combo last fall. First time out with it I was casting it fine, but I just wasn't getting a good hookset into the fish and dropped a few. Thanks for any help!

I got a guest who went all in and bought a 15 foot avid, I used it and it's alot of rod brother....too much for me... .. I own an avid for walleye fishin ...I love it, so it's a good blank.. I personally own the St Croix 13 wild river and think it's a great rod for running floats... great backbone too for whoopin on them...my 2 cents..

Hey fetzer; with the longer/softer rods; as your getting a bite: lower your rod tip while reeling in the slack and then whack that rod back so hard that you cross his eyes ;) try it...and don't be affraid to over exagerate it...
-
FEtz - for what it's worth - I own 2 float rods - both St Croix - a 10'6" and a 13'er.
IMHO - the longer rod is a PIA for me to use. The tip is whippy, (sometimes the line gets tangled around the tip), more guides to freeze, much harder to land a fish in close quarters, much easier to break the darn thing if you decide to walk a trail without breaking it down, and I really don't need to hero drift the extra few yards downriver.
It has not seen the light of day in many moons.
I would venture to guess that the 15'er is a bigger PIA.
I would suggest the shorter version.
that's my 2 cents worth.

I agree...unless I have a river entirely to myself (and theres little overhang of trees on the shoreline) i won't break out a 13', never mind a 15' rod. I've fished them both as well as many 9'6 and 10'6 and I'll take the shorter noodles every day of the week
The only exception is when I'm on the surf and casting past the 2nd breaker 100 yards out means the difference between getting bit and sitting there all day, then the longer rods come out but if I bring my bunker chucking rods that I use for surf fishing for sharks up to salmon countrym I'm sure it won't go over well with all the eletists who now own the tribs :whistling: :whistling:

10 6 is my all time favorite spinning rod length for steelhead...9 for rippin salmon with a fly rod..
I also picked up a 11 6 cortland float rod to try in areas there's alot of trees, but haven't used it yet...

Why go with the Tangent at $319.99 with a 5 yr warranty and not an Avid with a lifetime warranty? Just curious. Also there is an Avid 11' AVS110LM2 with the same handle as the float rods for $240 and lifetime warranty. Perhaps that would have been a better buy for me too as the 13' is rather long but I think manageable when you learn a good way to approach setting the hook. Dimebrite's suggestion is one I will try for sure.
One other consideration with the longer rods is protecting the line. Bigger fish (25lbs +) with 8 or 10 lb line may still be more manageable with greater landing percentage. You likely won't get the fish in in 2-3 mins. though in either case. You'll need the Tidemaster for that!!
Here's the Tangent warranty:-
TANGENT FLOAT ROD WARRANTY:
Limited warranty applies only to the original purchaser that its products will be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of one (5) year from the date of purchase. This warranty does not cover normal expected wear, missing parts, damage, loss or malfunctions due to abuse, misuse, or accidents and malfunctions caused by inadequate repair or alterations not performed by the manufacturer or an authorized service center. Service charge apply to replace sections; $30.00 tip section, $40 mid section, $50 butt section. Broken pieces must be returned. Service fees are double for non warranty replacement.

Hey fishgalore it works well for me; especially when using sacks... I sometimes let them swim away with the bobber a little bit (while dropping the rod tip) before whacking 'em... a premature set or even tension in the line before the set will make them spit quick... a bead usually requires a quicker set though... can't waste too much time but I still whack 'em hard...
I'll leave my two-handed fly rod tactics for another time ;)
Btw; thanks for the acknowledgement...

I don't plan on a fish over 10 lbs with the cp. Let alone 25. I just like the fact its based on a sage. Will I spent 300 on a rod now no. I have a boat. Lake salmon fishing is really putting a hurting on my pocket. I got into the cp thing last year fairly heavy cause it was new to me. As soon as oneida froze I didn't use it again. That will be the same thing this yr. Ice fishing and bow hunting trump everything to me. My new addiction is lake fishing. Its not new to me but now its my boat and me finding the fish instead of just reeling them in. Nothing like hearing that wire rod screaming. Zinnnnnng

So snag you think this storm will make for a short lake and river season? Meaning the motherload comes in all at once

Great pic Snagger..
I thought I had a window of opportuniy to cut the grass - it dried out after this mornings heavy thunderstorms.
Went out to the shed and it started downpouring without warning..
Really damp,muggy, foggy & soggy here in NEPA.

no ....there being stubborn so far.. i figured as much after a cold spring, but if that storm hit's hard, there should be a good push..which then leads to a big hole in the run til the next batch is ready some years...That's when the lake guys pound them..back in 98 there was a major run once a week, now that hurt the later season and the lake guys.. no one really targets salmon much after columbus anymore any way with this great steelhead cycle we are going through, so the late season isn't as important as it once was..you'll be able to down rigg into late september if you still want to......I've always based my season on about 4 main runs.. one early ... one middle and 2 october runs...

Thats a good point Adam but James did land a 36" 15+lb Steelie in '09. Add to that a flow rate of 750 cfs or more and you may have some trouble. That would be a bear on the CP. Also if you did try the float in the estuary (I know most don't think that will work in the SR) for big Kings you'd be faced with a long fight to land those big ones. Moreover, the CP in Nj after Memorial weekend also is not a good option with lower water levels making it harder to get a good drift. At least in North Jersey. The rivers here are comparitively smaller than even the Salmon.
BTW I'm in a similar boat as you since I fish the boat mostly after Memorial Day right through November. Although if we have a warmer winter with little ice the option to stream fish all winter would be one we would glady do but likely with the flyrod mostly.
Time is short and I'll be up soon. 1st choice in the estuary will be the Tidemaster. Then, if, and only if, I have lots of hook ups and fish landed I may try the CP. I'm not wasting my time trying to land 'em this early. They are as good as dead if I say "fish on" this year!! No question... No Flyfishing either. I'll save the pin, flyrod and noodle for November this year. Maybe just maybe I can attain one of the 3 goals set earlier this year. 25 lb Salmon, Muskie & Striper. All 3 are still possible by year end. We'll see now.
I likely won't make the October trip since I have a bud in Afghanistan who is slated to return for leave in October. I am flying down to Florida to spend a few days hanging with him.
-
The rumor is out here in the west. we have a lot of Atlantics getting ready to run.. but i heard it threw a few people. i got one last year.
I hope we get a good run this year, and all those d**n salmon snaggers let them be and release every one caught
-
Thanks everyone for the great replys. Snag- the wild river looks like a great rod for the $$$. I cant see paying the extra money for a higher end rod when you are staring at a float and dont need to feel the hit like when your bottom bouncing. I'm glad you pointed out that it has some a$$ to put some pork on the fish. I like getting em in quick and turned loose. Thanks so much you made my decision easy. Now to pick out a reel and line.
-
i picked up the wild river yesterday, and i really like it. i just dont know if i want the 13' or the 11'6. but its only rated for 2-6 on the 13'

i believe it! i may just end up buying both. so when i fish the Catt. i can have a long rod for hero drifts in less crowded areas

Gotta Love a Guy with a Solid Game Plan.... ;D

used a 11'6 cortland last spring with all the high water...it's a great rod. looking to pick up a 13' something...not so much for longer drifts but so I can reach the opposite side of the river straight out in front and keep the line off the water.

you made me look..it is rated 2-6lb.. i'm not saying it's a board or anything, but i have very good control with that rod..i had to sand the cork down a bit to make it fit my hand...like I said in another post..i go back in forth between that and my im6 raven with a fixed reel seat..now that's a noodle, just for fun...

2-6 huh?
Do you think it could control a little trout like this one my buddies friend got last week?
I know it's no steelhead but it is a nice resident bow. (https://www.myfishfinder.com/fishing_forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2F1003%2FDRIFTER_016%2FEmoticons%2Fwhistling-1.gif&hash=a75a33490eb81bc4278548b2814cb3f4)

I've caught 15# steelies on a 5wt drifter. Little light, but it's all in how you horse em. Nice bow. And have fun in alaska man.
-
I've seen a vid frank made with snag using that rod. It can handle it. Snag is grabbing 3 ft up the blank
-
Snagger fishes with his noodle. And I don't mean rod. It's fun to sit on the bank and watch him put on a clinic. You ready for fall adam ?
-
Always ready

That bow looks like the one my son c&r in N.Y. 2 years ago. Man, they swim far. lol ;D Nice fish drifter :thumbup_smilie:

Welcome! Thanks for your thoughts.

Thats a slob too! Wired.........maybe by mid September the river will be clearer and better conditions for a fish together!
I'll be in touch.

Hey Fishgalore, sometimes those fish in the port can be very "hot", full of lake energy if water temps are right..it's nothing for them to do 200 yd runs and have to chase them down with a boat, they make bluefish seem like bluegills..I'd stick with spinning gear if you want to land them, just use the cp for fun... Here's a trick I do to create a good salmon rod.. I take my noodle rods and cut the blank one eye down from the tip.. unravel the thread wraps and put a new tip on.. It seems to strengthen the blank and make it less whippy. I used to cut the blank 2 eyes down to make striper/bluefish rods when I'd go to Conn fishing chunk bunker as I couldn't find a 9 foot rod i liked..... We also do it to our fly rods for salmon.
That is one hell of a rainbow Drifter.. :thumbup_smilie:

Snagger, I have an 8' Heavy power fast action St. Croix Tidemaster that I double for Striper/Muskie. Got it on sale last September or so. It is a real nice rod. I don't think I need to do anything to it but I should change my 50# (12 lb dia.) braid on the one spool and make sure there is enough new line on. I thought about a steel leader too since they do have some teeth.
I'll bring the CP and noodle for when I get tired of catching them with the Tidemaster and reach one of my goals this year. My quest for a big fish is still incomplete..........biggest anything has been about 15 lbs..... probably a Bluefish in May. I struke out on the Tuna charter, some Blues and Mahi. One nice BF though caught by Rodney. d**n 40+" Muskie followed my lure in back to back casts about 5 weeeks ago but wouldn't hit. So my quest for something 25 lbs or larger remains. Hopefully the trifecta this fall into winter......Salmon, Muskie & Striper.
Thanks for the reply. PM sent.

Ill get you one out on the lake bob

I'd leave the ocean rod at home. You def don't need a steel leader either. Run your noodle rod with 15 lbs test mainline and 10 lbs floro leader.

I'm not trying to burst your bubble Fishgalore, but if you plan on fishing the estuary, chances are you will be in for a disappointment if you aren't into a wild circus atmosphere that at times requires a hardhat with full face mask.
Stick to the river, or hop a ride on a lake boat since you were graciously offered a ride by Adam.
just my 2cents...
Tight Lines to ya...

I'm not a big fan of braid for the river... and I can say I have never run more than 10 pound.... But what the h*ll do i know....... and I think Braid doesn't break down as fast as mono left in the water..... I had some knucklewad next to me with braid so heavy he couldn't break it off..... So he cut the line as far out as he could reach leaving 75 feet of so trailing down from the snag for everyone to catch... He had to leave before he was killed ;D ;D

Agreed regarding braid; and 10 is the heaviest I go unlessthere are high water salmon conditions...
Nothing worse than a tail of line flapping in the current to ruin your drift...

I just found out it was a hair over 40" and using the formula they came up with a weight between 35 and 40 pounds!!!! :w00t:

Agree, talked with my brother he said no steel leader either. I may try the new suffix 823 line. The In-Fisherman had a nice piece on it earlier this year. I'd go with a fluoro leader. But I don't think I'm going with 15 lb test Bigger for me until I land the big one with no questions about it.

Heard a bunch of noise today about River fishin, so took a ride down river around 4pm.. picked away at some rapids, didn't see anything.. Came apon a deep pool I've fished most of my life... First cast bumped oned..second cast bumped one..made an adjustment..then had 4 salmon on in 9 casts.. Ended up landing 2 for 9 in 40 minutes ..... then it died out, checked the rapids on the way out but nothing moving..great little bonanza for a while.. I had a riot , arms were actually a little sore from some nice long battles... ;D
First one of the year........27.2 lbs

I was fishing with deadeyes, it's getting dark and he aint back yet..
I left around 530...he must have found another batch.. I thought he was right behind me..
I hope he's slammin them... ;D

Figured you went down fishing when I didn't hear Back from you earlier
-
Hey Drifter, what rig did they use? Not 6 lb test was it? That's a beast!!! :flex: :flex:
Don't know for sure but the usual rig is 9' 7wt fly rod with a 9'-12' 0X leader and 8 or 10 pound test tippet fishing beads under a big corkie for an indicator.
Me, I use a centerpin with 12# Raven main line, 15 gram floats and 2 feet of 8 pound flouro and bead. ;D

YEAAAAHHH BUDDDYY!!!! T-minus a week and I'll be there. Hope there's a bunk still reserved for us.

Deadeyes just walked in he had 4 on after I left.. He said one was a great long battle but couldn't seal the deal..none landed this trip...
I was givin em a chance today ... 15lb trilene big game...actually just still on the rod from last year..suprized i hooked em so good in a 6-7 foot deep pool...

that's why I mentioned the possible need for hard hats..LOL
not sure if I ever shared this story here, but it's the funniest thing I've ever seen during Pulaski Slammin Season:
one day I took a mid day break and drove down to the Rte 3 bridge that was in the pic, to have lunch and watch the antics.
One of the bridgesters had a tuna rod & big arse baitcaster reel, and he was all decked out in 5mm neos on a hot Indian Summer day.
He went into a backcast and somehow got his weights entangled around the base of a passing by pickup's radio antenna base. Driver seemed oblivious to the whole thing and the bridgester must have got spooked by the backward tug of his rig, let go, and must have locked the drag.
Truck drove on for about 50 yards with the tuna rig draggin and bouncin along, and the poor schmuck screamin & chasing after his pole with arms flailing. At that point the tuna rig bounced into the other lane and was crushed by an oncoming vehicle....
I felt bad for the guy, but my ribs hurt from laughing so hard.
Pickup broke off and headed for the Lake...LOL

Way to go Snagger!! The ice is broken for you and can only get better from here on.....Talking about funny stories from the bridge..We were down there one day and a gut was standing on next to top of guard rail.. somehow he lost his balance and went ass over teakettles in the river..I think it hurt his pride more then anything with everyone laughing their tails off!!
-
Stopped in and said hey to Mike at the Fish on Lodge and talked about his posible world record coho...heres a pic of it...

It's about time you got down there.... ;D ;D I sent Ray Charles 1 and 2 there the day before.... Must be they were there... left..... and then came back the next day... ;D ;D

I'm not a big fan of braid for the river... and I can say I have never run more than 10 pound.... But what the h*ll do i know....... and I think Braid doesn't break down as fast as mono left in the water..... I had some knucklewad next to me with braid so heavy he couldn't break it off..... So he cut the line as far out as he could reach leaving 75 feet of so trailing down from the snag for everyone to catch... He had to leave before he was killed ;D ;D
Well esox v that's a negative characteristic of the braid but as far as actually fishing and not getting snagged its got some really good ones. e.g. Land a fish in about 2-3 mins. flat. The more landing, the more catching, the more catching, the more fishing is fun, at least it seems that way to me. I don't want to be tying up rigs all day when I have about 2 days to fish then travel 4 hrs back home. Know what I mean? ;) ;)

Good story.......to each his own. I don't judge a man by the set ups or equipment he choses to fish with, that is up to him/her. The main goal is to enjoy yourself, be courteous to others while doing so and bang some fish!!!! IMHO. If that ain't good enough and rocking the town is the only option then we go. :cursing: :cookoo: That's it. :evil: :evil: Bang, bang!
-
well if you run braid atleast make it look good buy using a flouro tip or green mono.... so it actually looks like your snagging....
theres a tip for the mud shark hunters!
-
I'm glad I'm only 3 ;) ;) 3 hours from salmon country and 3 hours from the shore so no matter which I hear is hot I can still do a day trip ;D
More power to you, 3 hr day trip is like going to Wildwood and back the same day. That's crazy dude. I must be getting old!!!

Stopped in and said hey to Mike at the Fish on Lodge and talked about his posible world record coho...heres a pic of it...

I heard they were calling this fish another hybrid

I heard they were calling this fish another hybrid
big scales.. fat tail handle, no spots on the tail and a round top knob, but the intestines or something show king genes....i was hoping mike would make the record books...sure looks like a coho...oh well ...great fish.....
Was Esox bustin on you.... ;D
-
so then what is the explanation for all these hybirds showing up?
i feel like its kinda weird, and i also feel like it wouldnt happen at the hatchery

Giggity Giggity!!!!

Holding the blank is great for steering fish at the end of the battle, but it takes time to understand when to release pressure... ;D
Amen to that comment! :clapping: :bowdown: :blink: I'll be the first one to admit that I have lost more fish at my side due to lack of control.

hi guys any fish in the river yet some say yes some say no i figure after sundays rain an early bunch should be in ??? im down around oneonta hard to run up unless there in

well i suggest you do some home work on here and go back a few pages on this thread and READ the posts. i am sure you will find the answer to your question ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

Good story.......to each his own. I don't judge a man by the set ups or equipment he choses to fish with, that is up to him/her.
I really don't give a squat what type of rod or reel a guy uses, but the fact that someone can wear 5mm neos on a HOT SUNNY day makes me break into sweat just thinking about it...
That braid is nasty stuff in the river, hope you never get your legs tangled up it when wading - it's a beotch....
-
every line has its place in different fishing conditions. but braid does not belong in the salmon or oswego rivers. that stuff is bad news out there. i will stick with mono for mud sharks. JMO

not a bad start ;D thanks for the phone call ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D
You didn't know there were fish in the river? ::) ::)

Well I being Ray charles and adam2000 Being Stevie Wonder coming from from esoxv. we couldn't see any fish. I wasn't looking to hard and I was just checking out the river mostly. I did bump somethings but what is the sence of posting if they didn't scream your line off? Hey bcons good info!
-
If our scale on the boat is close to the loc derby. We now have the leader for steelie. 16.5

Yuo.. Agree with you 100 percent..I, myself, never go over 10 pound test.. My rod is only rated to 10 pound and i break enough rods so why go any more and take chances.. I land my share at 10 pond test..

Latest weather watches for the area...... http://www.erh.noaa.gov/bgm/ (http://www.erh.noaa.gov/bgm/)
Looks like were going to get some rain tonight starting around 4am through Sunday.... Been looking at the wind forecast .... if this storm stays more east of us and the strong winds are more north east than say north or north west and we receive more than 2 inches of rain ...we are probably going to see a very good push of fish enter the port Sunday and Sunday night, running Dsr Monday and arriving in Pulaski late Monday and Tuesday... We'll see how this shakes out....lots of potential here folks....
"Dead Calm out there right now...nice job on the steelhead Adam...must be a zoo out there ......

Nice fish Snagger and mikes coho is a pig ! :thumbup_smilie: To answer your ? fishgalore. When you hook a fish you raise your rod and walk to the side of the bridge. If you have a Buddy under the bridge with a net and can keep the fish out of 100 lines in the water ,you can land them. Dave does it all the time.It is a blast and a circus not to be missed ! :cookoo: :flex: ;D

Fishing the fair haven challenge on andys boat. We went outta port bay. Not many boats over here
-
Hey Fishgalore, sometimes those fish in the port can be very "hot", full of lake energy if water temps are right..it's nothing for them to do 200 yd runs and have to chase them down with a boat, they make bluefish seem like bluegills..I'd stick with spinning gear if you want to land them, just use the cp for fun... Here's a trick I do to create a good salmon rod.. I take my noodle rods and cut the blank one eye down from the tip.. unravel the thread wraps and put a new tip on.. It seems to strengthen the blank and make it less whippy. I used to cut the blank 2 eyes down to make striper/bluefish rods when I'd go to Conn fishing chunk bunker as I couldn't find a 9 foot rod i liked..... We also do it to our fly rods for salmon.
That is one hell of a rainbow Drifter.. :thumbup_smilie:
The original conversation that led to my comments about braid were in reference to using it in the estuary and NOT the river. Don't get your knickers all up in a twist as I never meant to nor did I say I would use braid in the river. At the mouth of the river and in the lake, yes. Braid, is useful there for obvious reasons.
The conversation must have taken a nasty turn when I responded to esox v and HIS reference to using it in the river. My bad on that one since I should have set him straight but I just picked up on the reference to the "river" this morning even though the original conversation was about the estuary.

Now that's funny! :laugh: :D Probably not my cup of tea though.

Honestly enough i have never gone over 8 pound. and i almost always run a 6 pound flouro lead. pisses a lot of people off when i fight the fish. but i find it so much more fun to try and land monster salmon on light line.
-
I agree. You will hook more fish with light line. Landing them is a different story. I don't care if I land them, I just like the fight. ;D

If you can land something half the size of this with 8 your a better man than I.

If I hook one anything close to this in the estuary I WIll land it but not guaranteed with 15 lb test.
Remember, I'm on a quest to LAND the biggest fish I've ever caught in my life. Most of you have already done so hundreds of times!

now your going to make me look for one that i got. lol i know its not that big. but ive gotten some dandies......

i got this one last year off the pier... but i was using 8 pound braid, and 8 pound flouro leader with a J-13 the water was muddy inside the piers
-
Fishgalore..between other anglers..weeds, and there strength in our port, you aint landing much under 10lb. I was running 15lb yesterday and could only land 2 out of 9.. Ipv89..where your fishing you have lots of room..not a gauntlet of boats and or current..big difference out here...12lb. is my favorite salmon line, but will pull out 10lb if i feel comfortable about people or boats....braid is dangerous...don't use it on this river..
-
oh i know its a whole different game out here. im just saying... i am the most comfortable with 8.
i even use it in the mighty Lower Niagara.. nothing more and nothing less.

thanks fishgalore!
we dont get many huge fish out here in the west a lot around the 30 mark though. this one was great i was on the pier by myself and thought if i got hooked up i was screwed with no net.
5 mins into the fight 2 guys walk out with a net.
as a nice guy they asked for the fish and i gave it to them

Yes sir, I'm learning!! Hence, the estuary is my 1st & best choice to land a monster (unless I fish the Oz with Kevin on Catch the Drift). I had hoped to do a summer charter on Lake O but I couldn't find any interested cohorts. Again, my quest for bigger fish........Salmon, Steelie or Brown, don't matter much which one it is.
The river will be fun after I land the big boy and don't care if I break a few big boys off. Catch my (the) drift? I just want a picture like the one with Kevin and his clients monster Salmon!!
-
well getting out and putting time is the best way to do it! im 20 years old. i fish about 5 times a week.
im a hopeless as my dad would say.
i fish all season's. and the best way to learn is to just go out and do it. and eventually you will get enough knowledge to be able to seek and catch that monster
-
I strictly use 10 lb or 12 lb (depending on availability) test Maxima Chameleon. I have used Ande too but the Maxima is my favorite. I have a 9 ft 8 wt St Croix Premier rod and I currently use an Okuma SLV 7/8 reel. Been my set-up now for about 5 years and i love it. I mostly drift a single blue Jensen egg. Many a fish has been banked on this set-up.

Maxima is the only line i have used for last 35 years.. it does everything i have wanted it to do and more.. it may not be the smallest in Diameter or the toughest line but after using it for so long it would seem funny not to use it...
-
all i use and own now is Drennan Flouro. for my tippet. i own 2, 4, 6, and 8.
it is by far the strongest for diameter flouro i have ever used

More power to you, 3 hr day trip is like going to Wildwood and back the same day. That's crazy dude. I must be getting old!!!
Every year it's starting to catch up to me more and more but big fish make me do crazy things ;)

River report for 8/27/2011
There are some fish in the lower end of the River today. Not as many as Yesterday I heard from a local fishing next to me. I hooked 4 and landed 0. Hit the port and seen one Small pod of 12-15 Salmon siwming around and one Single crusing by. Also was 7 Trucks at the DSR today. By no means I don't think you should pack up your truck and get here tomorrow. It's any day it could take off.

Fishgalore:
I would take a trip with Catch the drift! You will get into some salmon. I've seen Kevin fishing skein under floats down by the dam on the OZ and he gets into the fish! The SR estuary can be good in the early morning if you have a boat. But you do have to get past the circus fishing from the bridge. Their really isn't any great spots to fish from shore in the estuary. The DSR is a really good spot to fish the river for freshies. As far as using really heavy line....the lighter the set-up the more bites you will get. The salmon once they enter the river can get really line shy. That's why you will see guys running as light as 6 or 8 lbs test floro leaders. If you do run a super-heavy line (you probably won't get bites) and you will straighten hooks or break rods. When you hook a freshie they usually take-off like a freight train. ;) Noodle rods are good because they have lots of flex and protect your lighter line and leader. Good luck!! I hope you get to play with a few!! 8)

saw quite a few fish moving today...not huge numbers but there is a slow trickle of fish

FG- are you planning on fishing the estuary by boat or off the bridge? Both of them have their cons, and some of those cons are worse than others. If you need a few pointers I will gladly share any advice with you. Their are a few ways to get the job done right and make it much more enjoyable. Fishing is supposed to be enjoyable. Otherwise you are going to limit yourself to standing shoulder to shoulder with guys and gals flipping and ripping at fish they can see. If you bottom fish with a floating bait ( wich is the only chance of trying to hook one legit due to lack of current )- boats cruising around and looking for fish, someone hooking a fish, and the crazies flinging their rattletraps and stickbaits at moving fish will drive you nuts. Plus - unless you have one hooked near the head and can turn / control your fish, chasing them is not an option. The mud, sticks, and drop offs will eat you up. If you try by boat I reccomend doing it after lunch. By then the mayhem settles down alittle. You will be able to see and navigate up the channels easier in the daylight the first time aswell. Being able to land your fish fast with braided line is a good intention but being able to point your rod at your fish and snap it off when you need to is VERY valuable. Take a look at Gamma co polymer. I use the 4# all season long for steelies. It is 4 pound diameter line but breaks at 8.3 pounds. The 12 pound dia. line breaks at 17. A long rod and line that has some stretch will help in landing big fish. If you are set on getting it done down there and need a few pointers shoot me a PM. Otherwise Goodluck and be safe.

A few pic's from today... Dave..Chris and Schmitty all brought home 1 each, Dave landed 2 for 10.. I showed up late and only hooked 2 today..still a fun hour on the river...They have made it to the 2a now I was told..small groups throughout the lower end..
.seen a wad of them in the town pool on my way back.

Thanks for the info. Joe. I have a call into Kevin as I write this but for a trip in November for Steelie and Browns on the OZ.
I do have a boat and plan on bringing her up for the 5th & 6th. There is a good chance for an extended stay but that remains to be seen. Everything you said is what I have been told already but some things don't make sense to me. For example, if the fish don't bite and you basically drift the line (sponge) across their mouths then why is a lighter leader line necessary? Or if Flouro is supposedly invisible or much lower visibility why would a lighter line be necessary since apparently they can't see it anyway? Either way I will probably start heavier then if need be an adjustment will be made. I will have a mono spool of 12lb too for the same reel. 12lb scares me though since last year in September down low with an estaz egg ...... the staircase.......one hook up was zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz snap. Not a chance in the world to land, turn, control that fish.
I am bringing my Tidemaster for the estuary but I will have my fly, CP float and noodle rods too.

Yeah man kudos on the catch......I especially like the waders and wading shoes.........nothing better than fishing in shorts (if the water is warm enough otherwise I'm a wimp) and light shoes. July on the Pequest was great!

Theres always gonna be those fish you won't turn...I hooked up below the falls on the Genny a few years back with 1 of my striper plugging rods with 20# ande....I never even slowed her down before I tightened the drag too much and she snapped me off :-\ :-\
Again............. :cookoo: :cookoo: :cookoo: :cookoo: They have evacuated most shore towns and don't want anyone venturing in there. Is this the Flip Wilson dance of the FISH made me do it?
1 of the boats I'm working on is docked in Leonardo...so I went down to check on her (more like check if the owners of the boats next to her bothered to attempt to hurricane proof them)...ended up chucking a black dani swimmer off the Leonardo breakwall for 10 minutes before I admitted defeat...now I'm sitting at a hurricane Beer-B-Que ;)

Hey, my buddy and I are coming next weekend through Monday. Would love to take you up on an offer like that. We could supply some Vermont micro-brews and gas for the tank.

A few pic's from today... Dave..Chris and Schmitty all brought home 1 each, Dave landed 2 for 10.. I showed up late and only hooked 2 today..still a fun hour on the river...They have made it to the 2a now I was told..small groups throughout the lower end..
.seen a wad of them in the town pool on my way back.
The Sheriff and his deputy.
Congrats guys, great looking fish!!
Are those Kings or Coho's? Sorry I dont know the difference.

Thanks for the info. Joe. I have a call into Kevin as I write this but for a trip in November for Steelie and Browns on the OZ.
I do have a boat and plan on bringing her up for the 5th & 6th. There is a good chance for an extended stay but that remains to be seen. Everything you said is what I have been told already but some things don't make sense to me. For example, if the fish don't bite and you basically drift the line (sponge) across their mouths then why is a lighter leader line necessary? Or if Flouro is supposedly invisible or much lower visibility why would a lighter line be necessary since apparently they can't see it anyway? Either way I will probably start heavier then if need be an adjustment will be made. I will have a mono spool of 12lb too for the same reel. 12lb scares me though since last year in September down low with an estaz egg ...... the staircase.......one hook up was zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz snap. Not a chance in the world to land, turn, control that fish.
I am bringing my Tidemaster for the estuary but I will have my fly, CP float and noodle rods too.
alot involved in turning a fish , rod , reel , line , operator ..... dont waste youre time with a cp in the estuary , go with a 10.5 at least and get used to the fact that you arent gonna land even close to every one you hook , it just dosent happen . i like to land 1 of every 4 at least , and i use 8 lb p line . if you do end up with other people on the boat with you go over what is gonna happen when 1 of you hooks a fish before hand , and by that i mean who is gonna pull the anchor , who is gonna drive the boat , and try to fight the fish away from the hole you are fishin in . the other guys fishin the hole will treat you a whole lot better . if you can get the boat freed up and get over the fish youre chances of landing it go way up . oh and bring an extra spool of line lots of hooks n sinkers cuz one will walk you in the port , i dont care who you are its the freshest fish in the river every day and they can take 100 in a hurry . ;D
-
Theres always gonna be those fish you won't turn...I hooked up below the falls on the Genny a few years back with 1 of my striper plugging rods with 20# ande....I never even slowed her down before I tightened the drag too much and she snapped me off :-\ :-\
1 of the boats I'm working on is docked in Leonardo...so I went down to check on her (more like check if the owners of the boats next to her bothered to attempt to hurricane proof them)...ended up chucking a black dani swimmer off the Leonardo breakwall for 10 minutes before I admitted defeat...now I'm sitting at a hurricane Beer-B-Que ;)

Thanks good advise. I'm not planning on using the CP in the estuary!
Addendum:- Maybe I will try the 13' float rod with the spinning reel and 12lb test later on if I can land a nice one. The 13' rod will protect the line but the boat is in for a ride I think!

Hey Fishgalore ..... Do you make getting nookie this complicated ? ;)
-
Yes sir, I'm learning!! Hence, the estuary is my 1st & best choice to land a monster (unless I fish the Oz with Kevin on Catch the Drift). I had hoped to do a summer charter on Lake O but I couldn't find any interested cohorts. Again, my quest for bigger fish........Salmon, Steelie or Brown, don't matter much which one it is.
The river will be fun after I land the big boy and don't care if I break a few big boys off. Catch my (the) drift? I just want a picture like the one with Kevin and his clients monster Salmon!!
Kevin is a man among men on the Oswego, or the entire lake for that matter. There isnt any better.
-
everyone stop picking on fishglore. he is new to this and willing to learn. just looking for a edge, bob no braid. its dangerous, it will cut through waders and down to the bone. trust me if there was a better way someone on here would know it. between me , ht , frank and snag thats over a 100 yrs on that river. we will show you the way young jedi. as far as the lake. you know when im off, if you wanna go just give me a heads up. remember early sept on the east end can get nasty so we do get blown off. will talk when your up here on labor day. its hard to make plans 2 weeks out, the lake was flat as a board today, gonna be up to 10 fters tommorrow, she is a beast
-
if you wanna spend money , spend it on a lake trip, not a river you know too many good river guys on here that will get you into fish, and like i said ill take you on the lake but anything over 4ft my 21 ft sportcraft isnt going out in
-
bob.....leave the boat,steel leaders and the CP at home for the mud sharks. just bring the normal and one of us will put you on the fish big guy ;) 8)
-
Fishgalore is just excited about fishing up here guys! I fished with him and gillripper last year and his brother. It's about having the time to fish up here and we take it for granted. It's like me in Canada for walleyes. I wait all year for the best week of fishing. We'll get him on Kings hands down.

I got a couple old Hilti nailers kicking around here somewhere..there like 20 years old..
Those old relics are older than that Shane!! I'd like them for my antique tool collection in my office!! ;D;)--KP
-
myself to my worker "i'm gonna need you to go to the truck and get some 3/1 oil, soft nails, and the board strecher". my worker, "i think i found the oil and nails, but i cant find the board strecher", me "JUST GO GET IT DAMMIT!, it's the little big silver thing on the truck, cmon man". as the rest of us were laughing uncontrolably, he went back to the truck looking for the board strecher, and he still to this day thinks he found the "soft" nails. too funny.
oh ya, i wanna play with the injuries. 15 year carpenter/mason, 5 year competitve football player, and 28 year hockey player (6years competitive). plus was in a wreck that twisted me up good. 6 knee surgerys, 1 shoulder rebuild (still pinned together), broken every finger on both hands, both ankles, both wrists, and have a buch of glass floating around from the car wreck (and a bunch of smaller stuff also, including concusions). my doc always jokes with me about having the body of a 60 yo guy in my 30's! i loved my days as an athelete, but i pay every day for those years. then going into the construction field made everything worse. hopeing for a new knee in the next year or so.
Next time...send him to the trailer for a 'DICKFOR"!! :w00t: :rotflol: :rotflol:--KP Freddie I have just the nailer for those salmon bro!! ;)
-
well im weathering the "hurricane" and goin to the river today ill let you know how i do

Freddie has a sweet deal on a wheelchair!! ;D Still....I wouldn't challenge SNAGGER with fishing!! ;) Just got back from a great week vacation with the family. Jr. and I tried our hand at saltwater fishing and came up short. I have to say though....I am unbeatable at MUNG catching though! ;) ROPE 'EM BOYS!!--KP 8)

Look at the hole over our area...haven't even gotten a quarter inch yet..we got cheated as far as rain goes so far HT...
With that said it's 59 degrees in the daytime with howling northeast winds...HT and bcons are right .... fish will be on the move, even in low river waters...last I knew the Res. is still very low for this time of year.

I fished the lower part of the river from 4-7:30 tonight. Not much action for me. I spotted a couple fish and that was it.
There were a couple of local kids working a pool thoroughly with 13' noodle rods. I saw them hook up about 4 or 5 times. They knew what they were doing for sure. It was fun watching them.

almost that time of year again. I see the ybuilt two platforms and stuck them in the river.....
one is up on that point above the islands and another is just below the last island...they're going to be a pain i can tell already. the end of the last island was one of the only places you could fish last year with all the high water....now there is a big friggin platform right in the middle of the darn run.

HOWS THE WEATHER IN ROCKAWAY FISHGALORE? IM AN HOUR WEST OF YOU ON THE DELAWARE RIVER, WERE GOING TO HAVE A PROBLEM HERE.
Power went out late Saturday night and back on sometime last night. I have shots of the Rockaway River which is about a mile from my house. It reminds me of Pulaski last October. The water was hitting the bridge on East Main and the lower falls (usually 3-4' high) looked like there was no falls. There is a RR tressle just below the falls (usually 8-10')between the tressle and the river but not yesterday only about 1-2'. Overall the damage was minimal where I ventured to take pics here in Rockaway. Many houses were flooded though and Firemans field (where the annual fireworks and picnic is held) was completely underwater. But the center of Denville (next town) is under water as well from the Rockaway River and Beaver Brook. Winds were still bad into last night. I'll try and post some pics later in the day.
Here's a slide show.

Man, Irene did blow much but she dumped almost 10 inches of rain here. Most of my local creeks and rivers have all washed into the Conn. River, probably taking most of the trout with it. Lots of damage all around the state. We weren't expecting it really.

A big bag of rice has worked well on my camera and phone.
Put it in for a day or 2 and it should come back to life if it didn't soak too long.

If you must have a phone while fishing then it should be in a ziplock sandwich bag. At least it reduces the chances of getting wet. Especially if you leave it alone. But beware.....it can fall out of your hands easily while removing it from the bag. Try and do so only when on shore. Call back or text later when you are safely on dry ground.

Gotta admit....Both teams are neck to neck, but, I have a bad feeling for the Yankees down the stretch! I'll never jump on the SOX bandwagon.....just saying Boston has some fuel left in the tank! After a dismal start to the season Boston has been playing some good ball! GO YANKEES and 335 CFS ON THE RIVER!!--KP 8)

I Seen my action weather hero Jim Cantory last evening on the weather channel with tears in his eyes talking about his home state of Vermont and the damage Irene has done there.
It's Jim Cantore I believe. Funny you mention him, we were out eating at his families new restaurant last night (Cantores) and he was there eating as well. Catching up with that guy is near impossible as much as he travels. He's sort of a local hero around here, graduated with my father at the same high school I went to. I'm sure hes back in town covering the damage. Our rivers got smoked, literally...flood washed a propane facility into three watersheds. Our Conn. River is a normal 10,000 CFS, it jumped to 100,000 CFS on Sunday night. If you guys think last years Pulaski flood changed the rivers...oh boy. All our fish are probaly in MA & CT by now if they're not dead.

while watching and enjoying the Little League WS last week, it dawned on me that the kids can play two full innings of baseball in the same amount of time it takes a ML pitcher to scratch himself twice and the announcer to recant some 58 yr old nonsensical triva... ;D

Sept. 1st fishing report:
This morning's decent run is now spreading out throughout Pulaski....the guys here are still hittin em, but it's at a slower pace then earlier...howling south east winds have got me wondering if some fish will move into the Port tonight...normally you don't get much more than 2-3 days out of a run , but this southeast wind could keep them trickling in into the weekend..we'll see..if not ..... that storm sunday will get them going Monday through Tuesday I bet.... heres one from an hour ago....

Did well into double digits hookups today at the ballpark but that tree has got to go.Fish scattered when that sun started beating down.Cant believe how much that stretch has changed,from the launch to the stairs is deep and slow,middle is nice but cant go up with fish on due to monster tree halfway across river.

Sorry to be a post hog but here's a couple of pix's of my first steelhead season last winter. Yeah my buddy Jason has made me a Salmon River addict and he got me hooked on the pin too.

Snagger you will be seeing a lot more of me this year!

Anyone know a guide on the DSR named Rocky?
-
Anybody can be a guide down there...not bashing ..... just true....
The guys this evening said it was slow..5 hook ups between 3 guys .....seen fish moving but much slower...they hit rt. 3 at the port at dark just too look.......said theres a really good ball of fish up at the island hole....east winds are doing there job.......
-
LMAO nice Shane!!!

LMFAO I hope its REALLY gonna be that easy for me!!! You fishing with me and Frank that Thursday I am up?
-
well Adam..we take it for granit..we grew up doing it... it takes time for guys not famillar with this game.
but don't go to the dsr on your first day...you'll get spoiled..it's really easy down there... put in your dues and learn your game in pulaski, then take it to there and put on a clinic... ;D

Sorry to be a post hog but here's a couple of pix's of my first steelhead season last winter. Yeah my buddy Jason has made me a Salmon River addict and he got me hooked on the pin too. I may be 41 but I'm like a kid in the candy store with this crap. Jay even has me thinking about climbing out of the trees a couple times this fall. Snagger you will be seeing a lot more of me this year!

I got you by about 11 yrs and fall '09 was my first venture up there. I feel the same way and don't mind the pics either. Keep 'em coming........that would be a good sign.

Looks like the Yankmees got this one in the bag. Go Yanks!! Out hit and out pitched Blowsox 2nite.

Mo was robbed on the pitch that went to 3-2 that was a backwards k!!!!!

Kind of a lopsided year for the Yanks :bowdown: :bowdown:: vs. Boston :cursing: :cursing:.............11-3. The hope now is a sweep of the last 3 at home then peak at the right time. Burnett wasn't bad tonight.........I thought for sure it was a guaranteed loss with him on the hill. :sick: :sick:
-
Mets.......Make Everyone To Scared took 4 of 5 from the fish. They'll be lucky to get to .500 for the year. But they have been better overall considering their circumstances with injuries, etc..... than many thought they would be. Their achilles heel is a lack of consistently good pitching.

I gathered that from your post the other day. He does not breed confidence for the team. I agree...it's like walking on egg shells when he's on the hill.

nice fish man; looks like pay to play??
Yep this one time (as you tell from the pix) and we had a blast. It took our minds off of Irene (and some other crap), seeing them shoot up the rapids for the first time and 20th time, staring at a pod of 30 fish bigger then i've ever seen before, the Osprey overhead, only one other person around, and fighting the kings was worth every penny. Where else are you going to experience all that for five bucks an hour,with that flow on that day?

392 cfs currently at Pineville............not to bad considering that in Oct. '09 it was a similar flow and the release was 335 cfs from Brookfield. Those conditions were excellent in my opinion, especially after the wacky flows beginning 11 mos. ago on Oct. 1, 2010. Strange year for sure. Of course, I'm only looking at a 2 year span. Microdata for sure.

that pic with just the weeds in the back... I hit cohoes there back in 07 at 100 cfs... fish were on both sides of all islands....all cohoes; quite a scene...also hit the kings in august 98 at that same spot.... the pool upstream from there on the north side has hosted some of my beststeelhead days ever....
Again; nice pics
-
Will there be fish going up the ladder at the hatchery sunday?
I want to take my wife and daughter to see them rockets.
-
Stopped by hatchery yesterday only a few kings but a handfull of fat browns, you need to take them at the right time of day with the sunlight and make sure you have a pair of glasses
-
It don't look like sunlight will be very strong all weekend :-\
If the sun is out I'll be on the beach shooting shoes.
What time of day do you recommend?
-
Yesterday was a good day fishing but the funniest part of the day happened at Ellis cove,stopped by to have a look and witnessed a group of Oriental men fishing on both sides at the corner below the island.On our way back through one of them stripped off his shoes and clothes and was crossing the river in his Bikini underwear and his clothes over his head.(funny S%$t)was laughing so hard forgot to take a pic,sure hoped they hooked a fish they were using kiddie poles with huge livebait slip bobbers
-
Mid morning till 100 oclock ,they have the water turned down in there,i try to take my kids up there when we go up together
-

Agreed. The dude is alright for a few innings, but then he gives up a dinger and the wheels fall off.
Im not so sure he is really a major league pitcher. At least not of the Yankees caliber.
C.C. on the other hand? Rockstar. Dude is a workhorse.

yup burnett is a goood pitcher, he was awesome before he came to the yanks, he is great when everything is gooing right, oonce he gives up a hit or two though they have to pull him. he cant get out of a hole. everytime, just watch next time he pitches, if he gives up a hit or two and then has to face the other teams best batter, is a hr 99% of the time. i think girardi is starting to realize that. he pulled him in the 2nd inning last week. hughes was goood last yr but not this yr. robertson had a real bad july blowing alot of saves but seems to have his stuff back. going to be a interested next few weeks. boston is playing really good ball, the infield plays against the yanks were impressive. well see
-
Anyone hear anything this morning?..only had one guy back he said it died out..
-
I hate to say it but Burnett is a choke artist...adam is totally right as soon as he gets a couple hits against him it's all over, he throws meat balls. He pitched alright last night, compared to his last couple starts, but he lets things get to his game too quick.
Mo is getting old...and that cut fast ball just aint cutting it anymore. He only needs 14 saves or something to be the all-time saves leader and he's gonna have to work for them. If he keeps using that straight 4-seamer on the outside part of the plate, then mixes in the cutter he'll be alright......for this season. Hate to even say it but after this season its time to pass the torch man....although I'm not sure that torch should be passed to Soriano. He hasnt proved that he can hack it in NY...
-

man...thought with that blow yesterday and the bump in the water it would be hot this morning.
The oswego is back down to a trickle...not sure if they're doing more work or if the water is really THAT low...under 1000cfs....seemed to pick an odd weekend to keep the water restricted but then again its oswego we're talking about.

I'm not trying to steal anyones thunder but the DSR is reporting anglers seeing some fish on the move from the estuary on up. No big numbers just a steady stream of fish. Kind of a vague report.

this is from dsr an hour ago....can you say sugar coating!!!!
Anglers have been reporting some movement throughout the run. However, overall it seems to be a pretty slow day. I did see fish rolling in the estuary , but it is hard to say when they will make the move into the river. I hope everyone is still doing their rain dance!

Well you could check other sites and get bs reports. Or check here and get a real report but have to deal with our baseball talk. I mean seriously there fish in the river now. So now its just how good you can time the run

If figured that out and if I did then so can others. :rotflol: :rotflol: They need bodies in there to make $$$$$$$$ mucho dinero. At least we know what the truth is when you report.

Thursday was fun. Not big #s but no crowds. Bring on the rain. How is the lake Adam? ::)

Hey Wire what did you do to those yellow jackets?, they chewed through the ceiling and had to plywood shut the coffee room. Then an exterminator woman came and removed the nest..what a $200 nightmare!!!! ;D
-
River is pretty much deadsville today .......my buddy Jeffrey has been able to hook 3 for his 7 year son..so that was nice, but just a few hook ups from the others...Very warm and humid...... mid to upper 80's ....... 70 last night at midnight.... good weekend to swim and party actually.......good luck to who ever goes today!!! ;D
-
fished today, town pool and black hole.
caught a lot of shad on skein. prob about 20.
hooked up twice. but nothing major. just a head shake and gone. assuming maybe trout.
coming back up in two weeks
-
whitakers themometer is reading 69 degree water....it's a warm one out there i doubt it's that low.
hit the river for a couple hours early this morning, definitely pretty slow and a pretty good crowd. Saw maybe 10 or so fish and most of them didnt stand a chance....man it's great watching a dozen fully grown men chase down a fish. Almost as fun as catching them. Don't get me wrong here I've been known to scoot up a set of rapids in a hurry after a fish myself but...to watch a bunch of people bull rush a fish blowing up through a set is just hilarious. horror show for the fish and comedy show for the fisherman, gotta love it.
c'mon rain.

I'd be disappointed if I didn't land a big one but happy I had lots of other action. Shad are better than nothing IMO. Sometimes when I'm fishing for trout and can't attract a bite I wish a few sunfish would hit my line. Anything is better than nothing.

This is my opinion and Wired I'm not directing this at you. What goes on down there this time of year is truely a shame. I could see if there was some current and guys actually were able to drift into the fish, that would be one thing. But casting plugs with trebles or a #2 hook and 1/4 pound of lead and blatant ripping, well to me that aint fishing. DEC could make a bloody fortune in there. I just can't figure out why the laws don't apply down there. The last 2 years the fish got balled right up and didn't push through until monday when the boats were gone. For all the years I've sat and watched the entire picture, I truely believe if the boats down there (and I am NOT generalizing ALL boats because I've seen alot of legit fishermen enjoying themselves) just backed off the holes alittle and didn't anchor 2/3 the way across the river right on the edges of the holes, the river would probably see better runs of fish on saturdays and sundays. I've been fishing along time and just have an extremely deep appreciation for fish and wildlife. Rather than stand in the middle of the runs and focus only on the big fish like I did 15+ years ago, I've learned to stand back and cast alittle further to the fish, but at the same time take in the bigger picture and see exactly whats going on.

Ohhh boy here we go. ::) ::) The boats are to blame for weird runs??? Forget low water, forget warm water, forget wrong direction on the wind blow, it must be the guys in the boats making the fish act weird. ::) ::) If no one fished the river at all, the fish would be much happier too! For that matter outlaw lead, copper, & riggers they'd feel even more comfortable. Geeeeeeeez when does this stop?

Didn't make any reference to "wierd runs." They go when they want to go, I'm not an idiot. Just speaking the way I see it. Apparently I struck a nerve.
-
And for the record I might fish the port once a yr just to say I did. I'm normally on the fast water before most, already been up river 5 times this yr. Just saying, if we all blame the other guy who fishes different than us, where does that leave us? All pointing the finger. Well you point, I'll go catch the fish that are there while you're pointing. ::) :-*

Struck a nerve? Again I DON'T FISH THE PORT, MY BOAT IS TOO BIG!!! I just believe these fish move when they want too, not based on who or what is standing in their way. If that were the case they'd all stop every busy weekend. ::) ::) I choose to fish my way, let others fish theirs. Blaming the other guy leaves you with 4 fingers pointing back at yourself. Me I catch fish based on my ability not others getting in the way.

I shared and observation. I've seen what goes down on this river from end to end, and love it all. Just what goes on down there baffels me.
just for the record I hate debates..I'm done with this one.

You didn't?
"didn't anchor 2/3 the way across the river right on the edges of the holes, the river would probably see better runs of fish on saturdays and sundays."
Uhhhhh????? sorry I must be confused........ My understanding of the English language leaves me with the impression you're implying the runs are altered by the boats, hence "weird" (do I need to define weird? Unusual, not normal.....etc.......) You said "I'm not an idiot" right after you said "They go when they want to go" If they go when they want to, how can both be true? They either go when they want, or they're disrupted by the boats. Which is it?

That's not Jeff's son in the picture ...He hit like 3 spots today all down low....

That's only because if you're not in a boat you have to be taller than 5'1" to wade off the island & catch fish. :-* :-* :-*

i am 5'5 and even older then you DAD so watch it ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) and you and frank are way behind in the numbers just so you know in the salmon challenge, oh ya and when the ice fest starts and you smell venison on the grill out there be prepared to be treated like a sea gull :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :P

uhhh you modified that post, the first version you wrote you were 5'3", now 5 5? Which is it? Nahhhhh doesn't matter don't worry about it, the height handicap plus the numbers still don't add up. I got a few in the past outings & none this weekend, didn't bother, I had a little bird reporting on another part of the river. ::) ::) I'd hazard a guess as far as a salmon challenge, I'm in the running. As far as "smelling the venison" Would that be deer or dear? The odor from your shanty would lead me to believe the later, you, FH, & transfromer worry me, & I don't want any part of THAT dear. :-* :-*

Now the report, DSR website said decent amount of fish rolling in the port? :rotflol: :rotflol: :rotflol: :rotflol: The port had less fish in it than I've seen in nearly 2 weeks. The boats were all leaving by 9am. There's NO fish in the port. Even the 2 boats fishing the DSR Island hole pulled out. Their report is CRAP!
-
I did go up high saw a few went 0-2. Not much going on hope this 2-3" of rain actually comes this time. On a side note stopped at the bridge at Altmar on my way home. Parked in the "fly" lot walked with spinning gear to the other side, no waders just bathing suit. 5 mins later I walked back to my truck. 4 guys get out of a volvo SUV with vinyl letters on the back window for a dealer in the Hudson Valley, & dealer plates. One guy stops me and says "You can't fish here, fly only" ::) ::) ::) Geee ya think? I guess I shoulda put my waders on, & grabbed the other rod, maybe he wouldn't of said anything.

Shane, Its rainin good here Bud!!!!!!! Lets hope it keeps up for a couple days make them salmon run!!!!-- Jr.

Only got a couple 2 minute down pours here... not much rain... Very slow day today, guys here went out early down low and literally had no hook ups but a couple random ones....no one fished mid day in the heat, just hung out and drank. ....... had a few guys out this evening that brought back one...said they seen about a dozen moving at dark and hit 4....... my buddy stopped at Oswego and hit 4 in a half hour up at the dam on his way back to Ithaca.... wish I had better news but that's it for today........still in between runs.....

Thunderstorms rolled through the area last night between 11pm and 2am dropping 1.1 inches here in Altmar, 2 of the bigger storms missed just to the northeast slamming the Salmon river drainage basin on Tug hill..bet they picked up close to 2 inches in spots... Fishin was slow over the weekend as predicted, there was no upwelling going into this storm, so it's questionable how many fish will file into the port tonight , with westerly winds the last 2 days...temp probably got deeper.......DSR is reporting some fish moving today and had guys that hit some in the port this morning, so we'll see how it shakes out the next 2 days.......
Last night's storms.....

To bad you guys split so early..... Jay and I made that move to before you guys left and it turned out to be a good one.... that fish came up with a few cohos.... I hooked a sweet Male Coho with a wicked hook jaw... it jumped a few times and my leader got wrapped around a rock... I started to move down a bit to try and unwrap it and saw that fish come right up and crack Jays fly... I lost another small one about 23" that spazzed out ..... Murry had a nice brown on ..... So with the kings we saw a bit of everything today.... Not on fire today but we picked away at them all day....

was at the local Gander mountain and picked up a Redington Red Fly Copper on sale for $29 dollars, regularly $88. Seemed like a good reel and I really liked the drag on it. Going to put it on a Cabelas Chuck and Duck Series specific rod i won a couple years ago and have never fished. Probably use it as a back up but if I like it, I may put it on the St Croix. Anyone ever fish one of these?
-
I can't wait to watch the show.... ;D
On a sad note .... I lost my outdoor mentor .... My old hunting and fishing partner ..Him and his brothers are the ones that turned me onto that silly river ...he was also my father in law ..... Going to miss Art

was up this morning...had a couple of guys walk through and then proceed to stand right in a seam in front of me that was holding about 20 fish before it was light enough to fish. oh well, tis the season. Slow trickle after that...went 2 for 2 on a couple 20-25lbers and missed some shots at some big dogs that were 30+. had a buddy of mine hook into a monster that took him 150yds into backing in about 10 seconds....needless to say that one got away...
good amount of people where we were fishing but still not a ton of hookups. guess I'm still waiting for my double digit day. soon enough :laugh:

ya must be tough .... nevermind lurk on man , lurk on :wacko:
Dont egg him on... His post was just removed and he was red flagged....
yes sir , my apology's :-*

I just wanna know who in their right mind will pay 45 bucks to fish the dsr
I pay the 45 when its worth it early in the season . Had my best days in the doulglaston . I don't mind paying for fish that actually hit and are aggressive. It keeps me away from most of the city slickers , and yahoo's. The fishing is worth it. You can't get any fresher fish. Not all beat up and half dead . Crowds are limited . And I don't reall keep the trout so I don't mind leting 15 pound browns go .
-
yep....if you don't fish the DSR you're a cityslicker or a yahoo..... I have been fishing the river since 1986 and have yet to pay to fish the DSR. Seem to do okay mixed in with the yahoo's, although I bet I fish some areas that get less of a crowd than the DSR ::)
-
I just got word the river going to 750CFS!!!!
DSR Twitter post.
-
Yep it is...there getting ready for the Storm..Oswego county must be now included in the flood watch....
Until 9:00 PM today, 335 CFS
From 9:00 PM today until 11:59 PM tomorrow, Wed, 750 CFS
All published flows are approximate and forecasts are estimates only. Actual flows will vary and can change quickly at any time. Always be alert and wear an approved flotation device. Never go in or near the water until you know and accept the risks you are assuming by being in this area
East winds and cool too boot for 2 days...can you say run of the century...inside joke..that's what we call early big runs....

Am I On for Thur then?

LOOKING FOR A 10' ML CASTING ROD . I NEED IT FOR A FLOAT ROD. I KNOW THIS IS NOT THE FOR SALE SECTION, BUT YOU ARE THE GUYS THAT MIGHT HAVE ONE YOU DON'T USE ANYMORE ;D
So are you thinking of running floats with a casting reel like on a pin set-up? I have a buddy that does it up the SR. He mostly pins but likes the caster in big water...
Im going to play around with one when im bobber fishing eyes this fall on our river here. I have a real nice quantum accurist with 7:1 retrieve that would be nice for taking up line. Plus it has the "flipping" feature, ie- you can freespool one handed. You dont have to turn the handle to engage the reel, just take your thumb off the bar.
95% of the fun of pinning is fighting the fish with no drag but the baitcaster would be fun too...
Plus it might be an excuse to build another rod... :whistling: :whistling: ;D
-
I'll be pulling out around 4:30am and hope to be in the area of the BP at 8:30am.... Thur it is.

run of the century ;D haha love it....can't wait to hear what the DSR says tomorrow.

Your thumb is very close to the spool with a thumb bar so it's easier to just put your thumb on the spool and set the hook.....and then your going to reel anyway and that will engage the reel..... Your going to be surprised at how well it works for float fishing...... you have a lot of control on the slowing down part of the drifting but not so much on the start up..... used them a bit in the tribs....
-
good luck to everyone this season, tight lines ;)
-
Fished down low today. Not much action. I saw some pass by during the day. Only had a couple of hook ups. I spent a lot of the time fly rod indicator fishing for whatever.
It's a new game after the rise tonight....
-
I can't wait to get back up there, maybe 2-3 weeks! should be A LOT more fish in the river by then... More than this past weekend.

Im thinking it will work for being lazy/keeping one hand warm and tucked in a pocket with a hand warmer while the rod-reel hand can be in a mitt... :whistling: :whistling: ;D ;D

Heading up in the am . Hopefully the high water brings in the fish.

Reports good .I went 1 for 6 and my buddie landed 3 . Nice day to get the rust out .
-
HERE COMES THE RAIN ! :thumbup_smilie:
-
Are most of you using fly setups or spinning gear? What is your favorite fishing line, # test and bait of choice? Curious as to what the majority of people are using this time of year. Will be out next week and cant wait, days sure are going by slow and I am certainly not doing alot of work. LOL
-
Last night when I stopped by the Estuary I read the River History sign again. It mentions Atlatic Salmon reintroduction and other facts. I am curious how many more Atlantics wil be caught in the River in the near future.
-
I think they are on the rise big time. They used to be an extreme rarity. Now you commonly hear a lot of reports from people catching them in the river and on the lake. A guy caught a 20 lbs Atlantic couple weeks ago out of the Oak. Posted the pic on LOU thinking it was a king and everybody corrected him on his trophy catch. ;D

Where can i find you salmon river pros in the morning ? Im headed up to take some pictures and video to kill some time. I dont fish for salmon or trout. Just want to see the sights.
I'll buy the coffee ;)
Jumping into the fire quite fast buddie? I like your enthusiasm! Lots of great people on here that will help you along if needed. Going up this weekend myself, if ya wanna hook up with a rook. :laugh:
-
leavin for the BP now, be in the water by 630

I haven't been to the river in many, many years. The last time I went was back around the time when they instituted the fish cleaning reg (no disposal of fish remains in the river). I'm sure that's still in effect but was wondering if its legal to clean fish on shore as long as I don't leave the remains there (plan on bringing a plastic bag or small cooer). I want to catch a female and get the eggs on ice as soon as possible. Thanks for any opinion on that.
-
any body have any report on the sandies how about the PHILLIES RICK hey k.p. whats up???
-
Was up at S. Sandy saturday, low and warm, nothing at the Rt. 3 bridge or up at the falls. If they got the rain
like we did down here it should get some going.
-
Not much Rick! Working! :' ( GO GETTUM BOYS!
Shane, called you this morning bro ;)--KP 8)

i do believe it is illegal to clean them stream side no matter what... i recomened to you to do as i did this past saturday; after landing the fish, take care to revivie it a bit before putting it on the stringer, once revived find a nice little oxygenated pocket to tie the fish behind so it can stay alive while you continue to fish; once done with fishing, take it right up to the knife and gut him; i always get a kick out of taking out it's heart and watching it still beat after the fish is already slit...lol...then i prefer to keep the fish intact on ice for a day or 2 to firm up the meet; then fillet... good luck...
for the eggs, there are many differing views on what to do with them... it all depends on your frequency of fishing... if you fish all the time, then a cold water cure is all you need... if youre a few times a year guy, i recommend a borax cure... hope this helps...
-

One thing I do if I keep a salmon is bleed it out asap. Just place the point of the blade at its throat(flip it over and find the area beween the gills. move an inch or so down where it just starts to get wider) and stick the knife in and twist alittle. Most of the blood will pump itself out. This makes for nice clean eggs and GREAT fillets!

-
:D Fished from 8:30 - 11:30 somewhere down low. Hooked up and landed one by 8:40. hooked but lost another 9-10. Water is up so lots of tin needed to find the sweet spot. All kings. It is still very early but it is officially on!!!!!!

made it up today. Started around 8:30. Wish I would have been there at sun-up. Hooked about a dozen and managed to land this beauty. It completely shut down around 1 with a few occasional hook-ups. All in all not a bad day....

i was about 200 yds down from you, all the guys in between us werent out far enough so i dont think they pushed the fish up, i mean i had well over 50 hookups and those guys around the corner from you didnt have 30 all together

How did the rocks at the angle they're at hurt ya on fighting or landing them there? Between the one tree down, & the rocks I had an 0-fer time last week.
-

a little further, nobody got out and fished that hole by the stump when i was there, i left the water at 1200, they were all fishing like 20 ft off the island

I've fished here since 1986. I had to relearn this whole run. I got some things figured out today...

so you noticed that nice bowl that opened up right by were you took that pic? that is gonna hold steel in the winter

;) that's where I hooked this fish. It took a while but once the water went down some, I noticed it right away.

its a little slow for my liking for salmon, but me and frank saw in in august and both of us were like theres a new hole to pin for steel

I was probably up a little in the head of it. It was a nice V in the current there..

Got to witness a run just above the DSR on Wednesday night. At that point I was 0-1 since Monday and the hook up I had was basically on and off, that fast. Caught a little smallmouth on a rapala (wasting time, bored with lack of hook ups) and a chub on Wednesday.
Nice meeting some of the MFF boys just below the Black with Shane and gang but I didn't have a lick of success there while everyone and their mother was hooking and landing. So much for being a fisherman.
Anyway, met up with Adam this morning at about 6:30 am and within 5 min had my first hook up. To bad since the line was wrapped around the reel and stuff so it was off in about 15 seconds, thought I lost the rig. But no, the rig was in tact. Couple casts later and a nice King was on and I fought it for about 10 minutes or so but it took me down to the rapids (tried to prevent it but to no avail) where I knew I was tatooed..........can't really follow it there. Held it for a bit just sitting but it went further downstream and broke me off. That was one of about 4 possible to land. I noticed after about 4 hook ups the line, just about every inch that spooled off was pretty stressed, frayed, etc., and I thought my chances to land a nice fish are slimmer as a result. Turns out I went 0-11 from 6:30 am - 8:30 and then had only 3 more hook ups. Lots of time spent trying to figure out which part of the frayed line to reconnect or cut off. I may have been better off respooling but I had to be gone by 11 am for the journey home.
A couple of those fish I had on had to be upwards of 18-20 lbers. Awesome stuff for a greenie. I had a blast and the whole trip hinged on todays success. Not that I would give up trying next year. Salmon are in the cards for next years run if I have any say in it! Tightlines boys!!
Next time up this year probably won't be til November.
BTW- If anyone found a Vivitar camera in a black case floating down towards the estuary..........it's mine. There some pics of me and some vids I took while up there on it. I went to grab it to video Adam landing a nice King and it was gone. Another Jersey boy had said 5 min earlier............"anyone lose a cell phone?" I said no..........it was da camera!!! Darn, I hate when that happens.
-
hey bob, sorry it didnt pan out. hopefully november we can get some fish and have good times and laughs man. but i bet it felt good atleast to hook up into one of those beast just to feel the force and the zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!! for a bit. Fish on bob talk to you soon.

Yeah man, didn't land any but it was fun and that's what it's all about for me. I knew the noodle rod with 12lb was gonna be a problem. Mike offered his casting reel set up with 20 lb mono...........maybe next year a heavier set up for me. But others were landing 'em like Adam with 12 lb on a mono flyrod set up. So there is some skill and know how involved. One co-worker I know uses 17 lb line as his standard. He's been doing it a while.

I went to grab it to video Adam landing a nice King and it was gone. Another Jersey boy had said 5 min earlier............"anyone lose a cell phone?" I said no..........it was da camera!!! Darn, I hate when that happens.
Check over on SC - Someone found a camera low on the river and was looking for the owner...

No not at all.................he did speak highly of you though but I set him straight.............just kidding. Thanks for your help and great to put a face to the MFF name. Glad you made it home safe too! I think the storm must have broke up since the 2-6" of rain today didn't seem to happen. That was a good thing.

You too Scott, good times chatting with some nice peeps up there at the SR. One of the topics of discussion (briefly though) was that Gamma and Trapper got banned from MFF. Can anyone confirm this? I wonder if they'll be back with a different user name?

Well Fishgalore my Camera got wet on Weds and is not doing well.. good thing I have two! lol looks like more Videos then pictures this year for me.

Got busy and was tired last night so didn't report, but I found nothing any different than any one else did... Hit the ball park around 6 pm and fished til 8pm...fish were moving steady..groups of 4 or 5 at a time ..... hooked 14 landed 3...all the rocks were different since last years flood , so had to wing it.. never did really find a new favorite run, but some ok spots ....had guys there today that said it's about half as good as yesterday...the guys I talked too said it was hot yesterday morning.. my guys tried to fish the papermill today, but the state troopers were there not letting anyone park and walk the tracks to the river...don't know what that's all about....so they went to the 2a instead.. That's it for me for a while, still saw no trout or coho's with my own eyes..just kings.... good luck if you go... ;D
-
whats up with the papermill thing ? thats bs man . i was gonna go to the ballpark and fish my way up to the papermill too ... oh well maybe ill hit the estuary or above 2a well see gotta find that pod adam was beatin up on yesterday . wish i didnt have theose last 3 manhattans last night ;D
-
I fished at the Papermill day before yesterday and had no problems..Wonder if someone drown and now they are going to rope that area off..next thing you know there will be places left to fish up there!!
-
Nice to bump into and kind of meet a few of you. Fish Galore, I think? Kielbasa looked good! Sorry Shane had to bail on the night on you but the floods called home. Fortunately not nearly as bad as last week no sewer backups so the basement stayed dry. Everything else still isn't really put back from last week so all turned out good. As for my fishing, I think Shane made a comment about one of his buddies that sums me up- couldn't catch a king if you threw a dozen in a bathtub! They're definitely in though, buddy of mine that stayed had some hookups in tressle yesterday.

I heard the train conductor called them saying people wouldn't get out of the way of the train... what's the big deal...if they don't get out of the way..runn um over..train can't stop.....
-
guys....don't mean to sound like the voice of reason but it has always been illegal in NYS to walk upon train tracks. It is just one of those laws thats not usually enforced until a complaint comes in. Not sure how far off the tracks they consider RR property though...

These threads make the oneida lake ones look tiny! Sorting through all the info trying to figure out this salmon thing is proving time consuming, Ive spent a week reading and I still dont know if I need a fly rod or a spinning rod! folks have a place in redfield and I heard theres lots of trout out there just not sure where to start. I finally start doin some damage on the lake and now Im already tryin somethin new haha. If anybody has any help or a place to point me in the right direction for some info let me know! Went to gander today but didnt see much, guess I need to head up to bass pro
-
I myself like a Fly Rod but am sure there are going to be those who like a Spinning rod just as much.. For Salmon i use a 9 footer and mine is a 10 wgt only because i got a good deal on it years ago..My Fly reel is loaded with 12 pound Mono and that is a Martin 72..It is a old reel also but works just like the day i bought it..So once again the choice of Equipment is up to what you enjoy the most.. If 10 guys answer you will get 10 different answers...
-
Speaking of the Martin 72 i am wondering if there is anyone in here who remembers how to change the retrieve from right hand to left hand.. i used to know but have not fished for Salmon in a few years and it somehow got switched around.. I have been all over the internet but can find nothing on there about it.. so am hoping that maybe some one will remember...

Griz is the Martin 72 the multiplier?

ill be heading down this afternoon fishing anywere from bp to sportsmans ill be wearing an atomic jacket dont be afraid to say hi
-

Yes it is.. probably 30 years old..
-
nice.. just what kids should be reading if they come here looking for information :(
Kinda sounds like an education SNAGGER is trying to relay to people! Maybe trying to warn the idiots that walk the tracks, to not walk the tracks! And if they see/hear a 1000 ton train coming, that they might want to clear the way. :cookoo: Sounds pretty logical to me. Even KP Jr. would've figured that one out!! ;) Fish on!!--KP Wasssuuup Shane?? :afro: How did Homie make out yesterday?
-
Yeah, the only thing left was some sauerkraut and a bit of peas. Glad you weren't hit as bad as last time. Shane musta been talking about me.....LOL.
Nope .......... Stormy.. :w00t: :clapping: just kiddin stormy.....

nice.. just what kids should be reading if they come here looking for information :(
it's just common sense I thought...if don't get out of the way of a train..your dead. Aren't you?..... my mommy taught me that when I was like 6 years old..
Hey Griz take the screws out of the clutch plate, then flip it and re screw it.
-
Nope .......... Stormy.. :w00t: :clapping: just kiddin stormy.....
Heard those peas were to be tied in a sac and thrown to the Kings on a #1 Owner! ;D :rotflol:

That's it!! I knew it was something really easy but had forgotten..Thanks..I must have lent it to someone and never changed it back.. They were hitting fish like crazy at the town pool this afternoon..

speaking of the martin 72 was wondering if anyone knows of someone willing to sell me one looking for older models not one of the newer one.
-
We go through the same thing striper fishing in Hudson fish the tracks get a ticket I budget it in.
I have seen, well I'd call it coleslaw because it has red in it first hand not fun 83 ziplock bags is not where I want to lay to rest.
let the dust settle and you'll be fine or go now and get one.

Gators - I think your best bet would be to go to the river and watch. See what it's all about. Some guys hook up a lot, those are the ones you want to pay attention too. As far as catching salmon, some bite in the river but a lot of them get force fed. ;D
-

Yup drags lasts about 10 kings. Look into a pfluger trion. Has a sealed gear drag. I got sick of buying 2 margins a yr and love it. Broke the handle off my good 72. Can't get parts for it anymore
-
I have a St Croix premier 9ft 8wt with a Okuma SLV. Line it with 10 lb test Maxima Chameleon mono. I have been using this reel for I think 5 seasons now and I have been waiting for this Okuma to chit the bed and it keeps right on going. It is a great reel for the money. I have a new Redington to try out when I come back up.

I was thinking this or to pay a guide for a day.....which feels like the wussy way out haha. The more I read the more interested I am in fishing for trout in all the streams and pools near redfield, but I def need some type of map or something!I think im going to go for a fly rod tomorrow at bass pro because it seems like then I can use it for trout steelhead and salmon. Just seems like everything I read is a different way to do it, there isnt exactly a flw tour on tv for salmon fishing the river I can get tips from either! I think id be more into the casting flies for them than the egg sacs which seem like the way to snag them... really confusing. I cant imagine landing a salmon the size of some of the ones im seeing in these pictures on a fly rod instead of a spinning rod though. Anybody ive asked about it just says how crazy it is with all the people but ill weekdays to go so it seems like it wont be as bad. Hopefully ill get some kind of gameplan for the salmon and trout soon, and some more eyes on the lake this week.Took august off so it should be interesting
-
The weekday thing doesn't always pan out like you'd think. If the fishings good folks will be there. And if getting them(salmon) to bite a fly is your thing...just don't let the guys having double digit days get you down, because the "salmon bite" is a slow one. However, hooking them is another story. If you know what you're doing it's not much different than getting them to bite. Most folks on here get it and would help you out over there im sure. My first trip up for salmon I spent two days running floats and eggs sacks scratching my head as to why everyone around me was hooked up all day and I wasn't....you live, you learn, you evolve.
-
Salmon don't bite?
-
They bite when there fresh out of the lake . Thats y I go to the dsr early in the year. The fresher they are the more aggressive they are ,But a lot of ppl snag them. you can tell when they only hook fish on at the end of there drift when they lift. But I have seen guys that are next to me fishing bare hooks, not legal , and hook ever fish right in the mouth .

you say that but I have had double digit numbers in the Douglaston , where I didn't count the ones that get snagged. If you go down low the always hitt . But u gotta pay the 45
-
to really be sure they aren't being lined at all ,no matter when you lift your rod or not lift, i suggest the only way to be sure is use a dry fly and see how many of those aggressive fish hit then ,and if you don't lift your rod are they hooked in the corner of mouth? and that is called grease lining i see a lot of that in the fly zone and I'm old enough that i fished this river before there was Pacific salmon but this is just some old guys oppion ,but i am getting a little senile ;D tite lines boys and girls

The other day I was fishing without waders and got a big estez fly hooked in my socks...couldn't get it out so fished with it in my sock all day..every time I started wading out into the runs I almost got my ankle chewed off by those hungry male kings...it was dangerous..I knew I shouldn't have walked down into the dsr. :w00t: :clapping:
Seriously lifes way to short to be worrying about what the next guy to you is doing..go enjoy yourself man...salmon fishin is fun, don't make it out to be more than what it is....

Ain't that the real truth right there. Have fun and stop looking at what the guy next to you is doing unless he's trying to cross the river at a dangerous point or flow. Then give him/her a heads up and or lend a hand if need be! I met more real nice people than aholes.......... but there are plenty of aholes out there too! If you ignore them you won't have to kick their arse.
-
I just can't believe that anyone....I mean anyone would line a fish in the DSR..... ::) I agree with Snagger. Lighten up and have fun.
-
Drove all the way out to bass pro to get some gear and bought nothing! Wanted a fly setup but didnt realize I was going to need one setup for salmon/steelhead and another for the brook trout around redfield. Figred Id be able to just grab a sep rod for the small fish but nope. Had no desire to by 2 setups. Considered getting a 9 foot ugly stick to put on a spinning reel but I still have no idea whats going on. bottom bouncing,floating.egg sacs,spinners,plugs, even read to use planer boards. Ive never had a soul to teach me jack about fishing/hunting since I was a kid so ive always relied on reading but im still lost. I love the walleye fishing this year and finally got good at it, honestly just wanted to catch some bigger fish and have a new outdoor hobby for late fall. Ah well back to the lake it is!

Fishing forums already are segregated- We are on one side of the tracks.
Listen for the sounds of the fish car. See you at the Kangaroo Court.
-
Na. Some people just see things differently. right and wrong. black and white. maybe that's the way you do things where you live. admitting your comment was just a bit off the mark ::) and misleading Im sure won't happen so you attack the guy who's for doing the RIGHT THING.
maybe they should segregate fishing forums into reality and fantasy sections then people can go where they like to get the info they need. Honest facts and info in reality and opinions, assumptions and dumb comments in fantasy land !
As johnny cash would sing...
I hear the train a comin. it's rolling round the bend. hey bubba looky here, it's gonna run down those fishermen Yee haw ::) :D
Uhhhhh where he lives is the Salmon River.........
They already have been, the "fantasy" crowd is having a BBQ right about now in town, while some woman is video taping "her hole" to try to catch people fishing it. ::) ::) ::) ::) JMHO but you might have a better time with that crowd. ::) ::)
Good luck to you! Most of us wish people well in whatever they chose to do, you & others like you apparently chose to degrade everyone who doesn't fit your mold. Are you all that insecure, or in need of self assurance? If so they offer counseling & Dr.s can perscribe meds to help with that. Or maybe just get a "bigger rod" to help compensate for feelings of inadequacy.
Have a nice day :-*

I'll even give you a hand in treatment, when seeking medical help ask if a Benzodiazepine type of med would help lesson the symptoms. Again good luck & hope ya get lots of Salmon.

early in the season i found that to be the case more often than not. Guys going out of their way to help another guy out if they asked for it, letting ya know what baits, flies, are hot, where in the run to try to cast if you're not hoking up, ect. A few weeks from now in the heart of the run I've found it just the opposite and thats why I try to avoid going up in early/ mid October when it seems like their is a much higher concentration of people on the river who only care about themselves and putting their 3 zombies on a rope and screw everyone else :-\

Your comment is about as useful, as ASSuming all who venture into a flyfishing area are pretentious wealthy idiots. It takes all types, but some decent guys fish the river during that time.

Fishing Report. It was Slow today in town where we were fishing. DD,Adam and esoxv seen a few cochos blow by HT and I didn't any low but they had to come by...lol.. So we moved on a hunch ;). Fished some new water that I haven't fished for salmon seen and 20+ busting up for the Morning. Not a blitz but fun to say the least. I hooked 3 landed 1.

you mean they aren't ::) ::) I never said everyone up there at that time are jerks, just seems like there is a higher concentration of jerks then there is early on in the run...I can't remember ever having guys try to snag the fish I was fighting in early Sept cuz "theres no way I could land it on light line" ::)

Hi all, new to the forum...I saw alot of action this morning going on in the Trestle pool. Along with shoulder to shoulder people as it got later.

Anyone else that has been fishing lately feel like they have left so good days out on the river? I have been up twice seen and hooked plenty of fish but my landing percentage is way of my career average,figure i would throw out a baseball analogy with all the yanks/red sox back and forth on here.
-
Were you there when D.E.C. was grabbing guys? I had a friend up who said they were up top in plain clothes watching for a while then started calling guys out for over lifting.
yeah I saw him pull in, when i walked by he had a couple people.
-
Never seen the DEC before. I was starting to think they were just boogey men.

I been doing well in the rollers and tailouts, but been in a funk fishing the belly of the pools this year...

with a ticket like that anyone can get a ticket its up to their discretion , remember the state is a little short on cash your cash ;)every year they have plain clothes and uniformed officers around you just didn't know they were there many are pulled from different areas of the state to help out the local fellas 13 miles of river plus all the tribs is a lot of ground to cover
-
Plain Clothes? Really. That's nuts. NY state has pretty much had most of my disposable income since I caught my first steelhead in 2008. :D

There behind every tree dude... They like to hide, pine mostly so stay away from the tressle pool..

Hahahha. I hear that's their "hot spot" best place to catch a lifter.
Honestly I've been coming up there for 4 or 5 years and have never had my license checked once.

Out of the 25 years of salmon and steelies on the SR I have been checked twice.
-
I get checked twice a year in Vermont at least. With the confusing October to October thing you would think theyd be out checking licenses more frequently.

I been doing well in the rollers and tailouts, but been in a funk fishing the belly of the pools this year.. Ive been doing this long enough were i feel like i could hook fish with a paper clip but every year at this time i try and bring every S@#t hook i have gathered over the years and i can clearly tell the difference.I know there pricey but i love using Gamakatsu #2s.I have about every hook out there in my box but if im having alot of on and off hookups and rolling alot of fish ill throw one of them on and change the whole day.Also like the mustad #7970's just wish the eye was flat or turned out. No excuses for me not landing fish but i have to place some blame on that tree across from the launch,there must be a sign underwater at the town pool telling kings that tree is ahead because the only fish i had go downstream was a ho.

Nice seeing you today DD and the rest of the guys..nice meeting your buddy..
I'll say it again..I was amazed how well the guys did today at our end of the River
I underestimated this run, usually at our end this early they spread pretty thin
and hook ups go way down compared to Pulaski, not the case today, everybody hit fish pretty good
had to open the fillet station early, it was a steady day of fish cleaning more like late september
great weather too for working outdoors... forgot to take pic's, but heres one LV took last weekend.

It looks like everyone on and around the river had a good time today. Nice reports from everyone.
Snagger- why do you suppose the fish continued to Altmar in tighter than average pods?

Am report. I tried to find the pod of Cohos that came in late last eveing. I fished all over today there are still fish in the treasle pool. 2A and below was a few fish but nothing moving all fish where pooled up and not moving. I couldn't hit a fish today. I didn't go back to where we fished yesterday. I walked from the treasle pool up to the bovines and didn't see a fish.

Alright.... Let me just say this.... I have heard about every day from someone in the DSR that coho's were moving up every day for the last week..... Well..... THEY ARE FULL OF CRAP.... I have yet to see a coho... Plenty of small kings though !!
-
We had a Marathon Day Yesterday !! The fish we found after the long walk were really moving fast ... some were not dark at all and almost looked blue in the water. Hate to say it but I need to get a new reel !! I cleaned my 72 out SPOT LESS after the episode before.... thing works great till you increase the drag tension then you can't reel at all !! Going to have to pick something up before my next adventure... I went 0 for 3....
-
Fished all day saturday... Started at LB and it was worse than slow hooked 3 fish seenone other hooked, not many people there. Moved to below ballpark and hooked a few coming up rapids, moved to above clamshed and did real well hooked 10 or more there, then walked from 81 bridge to papermill hooked 1 seen fish scattered around. took a break then the fun began Went to the tressle and before I made it down the hill it was fish on, get off mylline Im gonna #%$^$&% you and so on It was pretty fun too watch and there were a lot of fish. People were hooking up the whole time I hooked probably 15. i never landed a fish al lday! If you dont like combat fishing stay away from tressle, that place is insane.

Nothing like taking a nap half in the water at the North trestel pool with a wadded up jacket and a rock for a pillow... If I didn't slide down after I fell asleep and my back started getting wet I would have slept till dark.... then again.... I think it was you guys laughing at me that woke me up !! ;D ;D ;D
Always a good time on the SALMON RIVER !!

No problem bro..glad you guys crushed them...kind of fun mid week .... early in the season..isn't it? ;D
-
Plenty of the "living it up" going on at the SR. Sounds like some good times. I worked my butt off this weekend, yard work all day yesterday and carburetor work on the mobile welding unit today. Also cooked up a nice Pasta Fagiola for dinner. Now I can start listing some items on Craigslist for sale this week and plan my next SR trip in early November. At least more rain has missed us down here the past several days. Tightlines gents! ;D

Was at Bass pro today in Harrisburg. Found a 12' ML casting rod. I am ready for steelhead now. The susky got hit hard with rain. Floods all over down here. Hope we can dry out for a week. Hope to be up Friday, for some mud shark action.

I just got back from a 2-day trip with my son. We saw a few fish and hooked a few, but none landed. I saw the good and the bad. The good was going to the BallPark Saturday morning and having guys offer to have my son fight their fish, giving pointers, and even giving up their spot so the kid could hook a fish. Quality folks having fun. The bad part was watrching the circus at the Trestle Saturday afternoon; it was comical combat fishing. Sunday we hiked in to a few spots and played with some fish that were porpoising, but no takers. Nice weather and beautiful river.

I like hearing that other true sportsmen were willing to help out the young guy, will make him want to come out more and maybe someday pass on what he has learned.....good story from the river instaed of a lot of the negative ones you hear about.
-
great story man; i fished the ball park back in 1990 on my first trip; cant forget walking down that boat ramp and seeing a king explode out of the water... i turned around running to get my rod from the car out of the excitement... i was only 10 years old... i'm now 31... hooked for life to say the least ;)
be sure to pass the appreciation of the outdoors down to your son; it will last a life time.... my son is only 4; and he's already hooked...for life...
tight lines...
-
snagger, great photo.
glad everyone is having some fun with the early run.
hac, there's a lot of good people up there, dispite the stories and the trestle. super glad some are still nice enough to help a kid out, just getting those sharks on makes the day.
esox, if you need a reel i recomend the Okuma SLV. i'm out in SE Alaska right now rearing cohos and cost recovery fishing and picked up that reel shortly before coming out. it is a good one, have put some miles on it now and it is still solid. fishing a lot of saltwater here and holding up awesome, it has been doing cohos by the dozen like nothing. great deal, especially for the price.
for those interested, i'll have a thread up in probably a bit over a week with lots of pictures and some stories from my experience out here in AK. really looking forward to sharing it with everyone, this is truely an amazing place.
-
That reel has a cork drag. Have you dunked it in the water? Go with the pfluger trion sealed gear drag
-
Okuma Helios for salmon ...5years now on it I think and it hasn't missed A beat!!
-
I just picked up one of those SLV's, it will be my first time trying it out. Overall I like Okuma's gear, my striper reeals are Okuma's and catching 40"+ fish isn't a problem with them.

Cool pic man!! ;)

I think any reel will work if you palm it. The Rod is much more important . I have awsome fly rods with cheap reels and have not seen any problems.

Yup just gotta hit it right. They will be moving soon. Where the Cohos at??? ???

You and the crew at the BP were a total class act. Thanks for everything! When we got there we thought we would ease into the tail of the pool out of everyone's way and just observe. Cool for you guys to make room and offer pointers. My son was grateful for the offer to fight the fish, but he is of the age where he needs to hook the fish to give himself credit for the catch. He did hook a few on his own later in the day, but they made short work of him. He loved it so much we are going back in two weeks. The highlight of his trip was when we switched baits to try for trout and started catching fallfish. He was fighting a fallfish and a huge brown attacked it. Cool stuff.
Thanks again, you guys rock.

Any time Hocfish, that was a great day until i got to the trestle. i've been fishing that hole since I started fishing the SR, I have never seen it like that I though a fist fight was going to break out for sure.

Stormy is back in fish mode ...... ;D Fresh Back straps Snagger ;D

I think thats what I'm getting ... Snagger said he was getting a pile of them last week.... Stopped by Saturday....... GONE !! Met with Someone who works for an unnamed Manufacture last night.... so I may see what I can do there..
Jimmy at All Sports in Pulaski rigged me up with an Okuma early last season for my shark stick. I'm sold on the performance of that reel so far, but i've only fought a dozen or so Salmon since. I think it will run the test of time though.

Reports? Ok there's 20 fish in the river & 200 guys. ::) The run that came in during the trop storm, most of them made it to Trestle on Friday. Most of them stayed there & were picked apart by the circus over the weekend. A few moved up through and are stacked waiting right where ya can't fish yet. Saturday I walked miles, fished 3 different spots, most guys weren't walking they just fished the circus, except for a few of the others on here. IF ya walk you find the typical 1's & 2's here & there. Although the weather forecast starting right now looks GREAT!

Fishing Report:
Haven't made a report in a while..been taking advantage of the good weather to get stuff done... Guys here did great Saturday mid River, they had to do long walks , but it was worth it.. 30-40 hook up type stuff.. Sunday those fished moved above Pineville, so my guys went to Pulaski looking for new fish, it was slow, they picked away at a few fish... Yesterday sucked and today probably will too, unless a piece of those coho's in the port take off.. Got 2 fronts coming in..one tonight and another one tomorrow night, it's going to be tricky trying to figure out this next run..theres no east winds and probably little rain coming, so these coho's could come in in pieces, not one solid run... we'll see how the rain shakes out.....later......
On a side note:
Oh also pulled the scale out Saturday...cleaned 26 kings..... males were 14-17lbs on average and the females were 17-18lbs on average....unless this group was all three year old fish...They are averageing about 2-4lbs lighter this year...
-
Great reports bcons and snagger, I was a little worried the big run was going early.
-
I was on the river last week having a conversation with another guy....for some reason we started talking about brown trout and their "switch" from alewife to gobies....he was saying that salmon were starting to switch too?? Now as far as I know, the reason why salmon just arent here anymore in the BIG numbers they used to is because they just wont make the switch from alwife to the gobie
anyone have any info on this? I have a suspicion that the guy was full of it...

Theres nothing wrong with the salmon populations Erney, there the same as they have been since the late 90's...great numbers..your not old enough to remember the 70's and 80's when the lake still had massive alewife & chinook pops , but since it leveled and stockings were reduced in the mid 90's, theres been no problem with Salmon pops at our end of the lake..I was just making an observation to there size, these fish fluctuate from year to year. I blame the cold spring for there reduced size this year..i mean on average so far.

Great report Snagger!
I have one question that has been grinding me for years. I was taught along time ago by some old time heavy hitters that a west wind is the best wind for a fresh push of fish. But, my experiences and as you say an East wind pushes out the lake's warm suraface water as well as drops the level in the estuary and moves some of the warmer water out there too. What's your take on this? Thanks
-
With the lake temps as cold as they have been the past week or so, the pods have been nosing in but turning around because the river temps were much warmer. Almost like putting a door in their way. This west wind coming could/ should bring warm mater back in, if there is any close enough, since the whole lake flipped. If it does come in, it will sort of act as a key to open that door, making the river cooler than the lake again. Also the fish love to "surf" their way into the river. Not sure why but whenever we get medium - big waves out of the west/ north west we see good pods of fish enter. Not saying the mother load with enter the estuary on these fronts, but there will surely be a good push in the next couple days. Also, the chromer numbers is very large right now in the blue water off shore!!!!! Good luck.

I use southeast winds as a gauge for late August runs and til about September 15th runs..which we are approaching..before this time you need to break the thermocline to get fish close enough to enter the port, west winds stack warm water, so anytime before now a west wind sucks, usually it was the southeast wind that brought them close, then when the wind is ripping out of the west after the storm passes people see the fish thinking it was the west wind that did it... now your surface temps and river temps are approaching a level that is comfortable for fish to be in...River's riding around 65-66 and lake O around 69-70 ...east winds aren't that important going forward.
-
Fishingjasons down low..... he's been hitting a few silver fish in adams hole....
-
Snagger, do you smoke fish as well as clean them?
-
They are averageing about 2-4lbs lighter this year...
Should hopefully see some improvement in those sizes soon as this year you needed 31 lb's plus to even make the top 20 in the loc derby. 3 years ago, anything over 30 in the derby would have put you in the top 5 money.
I know we had some screamers out there that we couldn't handle this year. Pull some of my rigs down into line that hadn't seen the light of day in years, really tough to land. Pretty tough to land one of those monsters when they are still fresh on skinny water gear too.

So i got to stop at the trestle and wiiness my first sight of how that place is fished. There were about 10 guys that i could see. I stayed about an hr and watched guys. Saw 5 hookups and one fish landed, as snagger would say that is where the circus is. Not sure if ill get up to any fishing on the river before i leave but it looks like fun. Got to stop in and bull with snagger as i havent seen him in awhile always playing phone tag, it was good to see u my friend, good luck the rest of the season. Kowboy

Seaducktion and Snagger- thanks for taking time out your day for replying. GREAT answers and they are very appreciated. Looks like thursday is going to kick it up a notch with the Temp. drop and the wind. I'll be in hot persuit for some coho eggs!

I didnt really mean on our end of the lake...or really on Lake Ontario. But just take a look at whats happend to Lake Huron...

The rain storms today/tonight should bring in new fish....ill be up there Wed, Sun and Mon morning. I'm so glad I dont live to far away ;D

What happened to Lake Huron? kidney diseases like Michigan years ago from overstocking/lack of forage? or cookie cutter syndrome?
Well 2 wind shift lines have gone through today with no rain.....only one left to go ...I think we got cheated!!! I hope not..got a feeling the Res. could be slipping into no man's land again...every time it gets really low..a thunderstorm complex rolls in and saves us...we need another one..

rich nailed it, ive heard of lake temps in the low 40's 25 ft down over 50 fow, so the fish suddenly feels 70 degree water and says nope not today

I fished down low today. There were less anglers today on the lower stretch than in August this year. There were some Cohos moving through. Most of the activity fizzled out around Noon. Out of the couple Kings I landed, both were on the small size.-as Snagger had pointed out

Weather Update:
3 seperate thunderstorms rolled through our area since 5pm...hardly any rain here in Altmar..but just to our north from Pulaski...Richland..Orwell to Tug hill got hit descent multiple times...good winds with the first one and tons of lightning with the one that just went by...it will be interesting to see if there was enough rains to raise the creeks at all, it's hard to tell being it didn't rain here...300 yards away it was coming down in sheets....

-
Update:
Well I checked the gauges and none of the creeks rose..combine that with no east winds and I'd say the coho's are going to Bleed into the River over the next 3 days instead of one main run...actually not a bad thing for guys who only get time off on weekends, they won't miss another weekday run again like the last couple of weeks... Temperature drops weren't as drastic as predicted either....coho's move fast..so don't just go by the DSR report.. I would think pockets will be spread out in Pulaski by tomorrow...good luck if you go hunting!!! ;D

Oh I know all about the Trestle..I used to be a regular there when I could run a big leader and outfish everyone 30 to 1, but without a big leader in slow water=not many mouth hook ups ...........so I haven't fished there since 2004..it's a true snaggers hole now, used to be a fun place with the big leaders, i guess we were hooking too many in the mouth, so they shortened the leader law, now they can write away on the guys...

During Thursday morning and midday, the words "yuck" or "raw" might come to mind, especially when you compare it to Tuesday's 86° high. Rain Thursday morning may continue to about midday before ending. Clouds will try and depart fast enough to give way to some mid to late afternoon breaks of sunshine. Temperatures start around 54° around sunrise. Readings may drop to around 49-50° late morning before recovering to 55-60° late in the afternoon. Wind: NW 10-20 MPH.

50 degree rain is what we need..... ;)

so after weeks of trying to figure anything out I finally took the plunge and got myself a setup! I wanted something for steelhead that I could also try a few times for salmon,ended up with a 9ft 7 wt fly rod. They put mono on it for me for salmon and said to come back in a month or so and theyd help me out for the steelies. Guess ill be trying the bottom bouncing method as its the only thing I can figure out haha. Anybody have any idea where I should start, I have a nice map of all the pools but id rather see less people and less fish than be in one of these pools with 50 other guys. Going to head up tomorrow or friday, I have no problem doing some long walking to get away,especially since im a newbie and will probably look like an idiot! pretty excited to try this out and even more pumped for when the steelhead come,they look awesome!

Be careful with that 7 wt this time of the year......You'll really have to work those fresh fish.
-
I had every intention of getting an 8 wt but I wanted something mostly for steelhead and figured id sacrifice landing some salmon,guess just set the drag real light and hope for the best? more worried about finding my way around more than actually landing a fish at this point haha,spent alittle extra and got a rod with lifetime warranty atleast
-
My buddy owns to half way out in the sportsmans, but his land isn't posted.
Ok.. I am glad to hear that and didn't think it was so.. But after hearing it from a couple guys one begins to wonder..
I also agree with the 7wgt.. have watched a bunch of them snap on fresh crazy fish!!
-
well I kinda just put my purchase in the hands of the guide at a local shop up there. Told him id be doing mostly steelhead and salmon 2-3 times. He was really knowledgeable and a super nice guy never pushed me to spend more than I wanted at all. couldnt see him handing me the 7 if he thought id break it right away because Ill sure be marchin right back in there with it and the receipt if it breaks! :D I did go in to purchase an 8 but seeing as how I knew nothing at all didnt seem like a good idea to just randomly buy something on my own. I guess we will find out if I hook one of these big buggers. hands down the most lost ive ever been going into fishing, everyone I know is laughing at me because I only fish oneida on weekdays because of weekend crowds and the rivers always crowded? I have no problem hikin the shore just not sure where to start.Hey like I said....should be interesting!

Oh there very well could be posted land.. I was just pointing out that the DEC does not own the north side, just a right of way...

fat nancys. I went to bass pro,gander,and the local shops around cuse but nobody really seemed to know what they were talkin about.I always buy everything off the net but I was too lost to do that. I distinctly told him steelhead was what I was after as I still wasnt grasping this idea of catching a salmon that isnt feeding....as a lake guy this was kind of new to me. Thats why steelhead seemed more appealing to me. Probably my fault. If I need to I could always take it back and switch I havent used it yet....Id feel kinda weird though seeing as how I know nothing and thats what they recommended. Like I said only planned on doing the king thing a few times.......I havent been up to SR since my high school hockey days so had no idea what place to go to. Weird to feel like a newbie but should be exciting to say the least....started laughing at how simple the tackle for the salmon is after I have a whole box of stuff to catch 16 inch eyes on the lake haha
-
Heres some basics real quick.....
8-10 wt fly rods with large arbor fly reels spooled with 8-15lb mono for salmon in rapids like Pulaski. Line test changes accordingly..
10'6 spinning rods rated for 2-10lb line for bottom bouncing steelhead..medium spinning reel spooled with 4-8lb. line depending on conditions..
10 foot medium light spinning rods with line rated for 8-15 for salmon upriver in the larger wider pools
center pinns are great for floats, but a spinning rod will work fine.
My favorite steelhead fly rod is a 7 wt 11 footer, but thats custom and you'll pay reel money for it..
-
bought a 7 rod and 8 reel LL BEAN last year loved it for steelhead this year LAMSON KONIC 3.5-8wt. GREYS 9ft. 8wt. cant wait good luck fly fishing for steel is awesome your gonna be SOLD!!!!! RICK

hey shane you get my P.M.???

start fishng salmon on the lake and you wont be laughing, youll be crying as your bank account drains. so what kind of rod did you get?
-
Careful with those light rods I broke 2 10wts in 2 years now...I put the boots too these sharks too but the rods are not what I usually use but gave them a chance and I'm retiring it back to tfo..no more expensive rods for me on salmon..These fish are tackle busters

Have fun with fly fishing the river.
Parking and walking any distance over 1/3 mile from parking will get you away from many people. With that said, Salmon River is a Salmanoid Mecca of the Northeast. It's usually the busiest Salmon/Trout Tributary to fish in Upstate NY hands down. It always hits home when I get there at 5:30 am and there are guys pulling in next to me that have driven since 1 am to get there. -They deserve the title of a true Steelheader.
Anyways, you should do ok for steelhead no problem with a 7wt. For salmon consider using lighter leader material until you get the feel of the rod . Then you will break some line instead of the rod on an unruly king.
Have fun!

Hey; has anyone beard from draketrutta aka "drake"???? He's been mia lately....
-
Hey guys I am headed up on Friday and Saturday. ive been looking for lead to make my own sinkers but have been unable to find any. Anyone sell them in large quantities up there? I'm sure I will have to pay dearly for them. haha
-
can't buy lead shot in NY.....if you go to a shop be prepared to pay top dollar for that tin crap. I stock up in PA as I live 5 miles from the border and work in PA. That tin in the river sucks!
-
Thanks hunterdeneugene. I knew it would be pricey >:(
-
Got a chunk of lead,melting pot,and a mold. im good to go for a while. Comming up on Sat morn till Sun. pm Can't wait. Any info on the staircase, ballpark, or Altmar.?? hATE THIS BUT IM BRINGING A ROOKIE WITH ME WHICH IM NO BETTER WITH ONLY 3 YEARS UNDER MY BELT AND A TOTAL OF 8 OR 9 TRIPS all together. I did have fun catching the couple fish i managed to land. See you guys SAT.
-
EVERY DAY IS NEW. START LOW AND WORK YOUR WAY UP. THIS TIME OF YEAR YOU NEED TO HIKE TO FIND FISH. RUN AND GUN. ;D
-
Ill be up Friday night as well so im sure ill see some of you i drive a gmc 1500 with ct plates say hi if you see me that way i can put a face to a name on here...snagger did u end up getting my message i left for you?

stop by a tire shop and give em a few bucks for the old tire weights. I have gotten buckets of them this way for making all my own jigs and dropper weights for striper fishing. good luck fishing!

Pulaski was as dead as a door nail today from what I was told......last thursday's fish are up here in Altmar...it's going to be a snagg a roma tomorrow morning in the lower fly zone, that hole just above the bridge is jacked with fish...Hopefully something changes between now and this weekend.....time will tell.........
-
You just made me put my fly setup in the truck for the weekend i have yet to use it.
-
Big winds and cooler temps, a little cold rain. That just might be the spoon to stir the soup. I just tied up some sacks and will be on the search a few days this weekend. This weekend last year I caught more chrome than I did salmon. Hopefully the fish gods will be kind once again.
-
oh boy...lower fly zone is open tomorrow....gotta love watching what goes down in that section.
-
Is there a decent number of fish in the estuary or are the just stacking up out front?
-

do you know any plumbers??? i just sold about 100 pounds of lead a few months ago at the scrap yard... i'm still holding atleast 30-40 pounds right now... i always have intent to melt it down for sinkers, but have yet to get my hands on some molds :'(
hey, has anyone heard from draketrutta at all???

Broke the front end of my Shimano Convergence 10'6" rod yesterday. Just bought it from All Seasons last year. A fish didn't break it though, It was my stupidity for not tying down my rototiller in the bed of my truck. Dang it...... Hit the brakes, tiller flipped forward and crunched it.

This is why i don't predict good salmon runs without east winds Adam... it's never a guarantee... They been milling in front of the River since last Saturday, theres nothing to push them in ...how did those west winds work out the last 3 days? Not good...hopefully enough chunks will bleed up the River as a result of this much colder weather slowly cooling the River down to save the weekend for the guys....

im hearing alot of conflicting reports. Jay is at the elm tree and isn't seeing much
-
Nothing conflicting here ..I got guys at staircase...lower black and Dsr.. there saying the same thing...slow.
-
Just checked weather for altmar says there will be east winds on sunday and monday and then rain wednesday thursday friday with west wind so next weekend might be real good
-
I had the truck all packed up last night with full intention of coming over this morning but something kept telling me not to go..Glad i listened this time..I think Monday will be the day....
-
Im goin this weekend just to get away for couple days. ya never know
-
Jays below the black at the orange line.... 2 hook up 35 to 40 guys in a half hour... Reports that the little black hole has been on fire this Am .... If It is.... the fish aint moving up !!

went to SR for the first time today to try out my new stuff before it got crazy. Went to bullpark just lookin to test things out. Went with the 8wt rod with mono on the reel. Not sure if im casting it right but I got some nice drifts, didnt see much 2 fish caught in 3 hrs around me. Walked all over getting my footing in the river. Still not sure how catching a big fish on this fly pole is going to be! interesting for sure....Doing this chuck and duck thing on the fly rod until its steelhead season, any videos or tips on how to cast it? Most people I saw were smashing spinning reels with alot of weight, I just had 2 split shots on and kind of tossed it out there. Cant wait to figure this out and have the fish come!
-
After using a Martin 72 up there for the past 30+ years i figured that maybe i should buy a back up reel just in case..Not having a clue as to what to get i went on E-bay and got a brand new Pflueger Trion 1990..I had never been around one or even held one but was going pretty much by the Pfluger name as i have other reels by them that have held up great..I was a bit disappointed as i thought it would be a tad bit heavier and beefy then it is.. Just hope it is half as good as what the old Martin's were!

Your doing it right Gator.. Sometimes you gotta adjust the amount of weight as you just want to be ticking bottom every now and again..The main thing is to fish.. you will learn a lot by doing so.. watch the guys around you who are catching fish and you can learn a lot from them also..I sent you a PM the other day did you get it?? By the way you wearing Korkers or anything anti-slip on your boots?? if not sooner or later you will get a Salmon River Baptism..

The standard heavy duty drag flyreel for me is a scientific anglers system 2. Mine has been around forever and taken abuse from salmon, steelies, browns, carp, stripers and bluefish and still works great. My buddies that first brought me up there, their system2s are twice as old as mine and still working 100%.
In that same amount of time, I've fried 2 okuma fly reels and my friends have fried a billy pate, tibor, and a plueger, yet the SA system2s keep on workin...
-
yes I spent the money and got really nice boots and waders, thats kind of what I was testing today and it all worked awesome, weird having breatheable waders on as mine were always boot foots to take out the dock.... When im casting with mono do I just strip the line and leave it in the water next to me or try to hold it in my stripping hand in loops? I think my biggest thing was I was trying to get nice long smooth drifts and it seemed alot of people were doing short choppy ones. I just had a single egg on 3 ft fluro leeader and barrel swivel with 2-3 split shots. not sure if I should be trying flies or what, I have a map but couldnt really find where to park for staircase so I went to ballpark-seemed easier for my first time

I've got 100's of kings on my trion its a great reel
-
I like using flyline rather than mono. Its easier to cast and easier to handle in my opinion. Tie-off a 15 lb 8ft mono leader to a piece of floro to your fly/egg. Chuck and duck short drifts in the rollers. With a 8wt rod I'd oversize to a 10wt weight forward floating line. Honestly once salmon season gets going short drift will be it because of the number of people. The guys that get upset because they want to swing streamers throught the tails out should stay home. This is going to take you a bit until you get the hang of it. Don't be afraid to ask the people around you as most of the people on the river are pretty cool. When you run into the aholes walk away. When you hook into one hang on!
-

Right now it's still a back up for if anything happens to the Martin but makes me feel a bit better knowing it's a decent reel.. you are the first i came across who has one..

Few guys on here have them and like them
-
Fished the staircase this morning. I am still a rookie so I dont know much, but I only saw about 30 fish swim by in about 4 hours. I had 2 hookups. They were very short lived. Had a blast just watching these huge fish fly by!!! Looked like no one else was doing very well either. Cant wait to get back out there.
-
Nothing conflicting here ..I got guys at staircase...lower black and Dsr.. there saying the same thing...slow.
Just a quick report...just got home and after driving 6hrs. We hit them HARD on the DSR at the little black hole. We must of had 30 hookups between the 3 of us....for us that's HARD. 1 12lb brown. 2 big Kings, and 1 cocho hit the shore. Also 1 small steelie. Other guys fishing the same hole hit them hard as well. From 7am-noon must of been 50+ hookups between 7 or 8 guys and 10 fish landed.

Thanks Shane, we went with their guide named Rocky....was a GREAT guy...really enjoyed fishing with him. We had a little rough start due to miscommunication, but it turned out great. We had so many fishing jumping I was absolutely amazed!! Almost every hookup we had, the fish thought they were on the chinese gymnastics team! Awesome jumping by these fish.

i was gonna say the same thing shane :'(

Nice pictures!
My friend and I fished low for the most part today. We started out with a few hookups then it slowed to every now and then. We jumped around a bit trying to intercept the elusive Cohos and finding fish that moved in last night. All in all it was a nice day.The afternoon did produce more Coho hookups than Kings on average.
We went up to the Lower Fly Zone for a short period of time. There were a number of guys fly fishing with a bunch of weight just barely making the fly get through the current. The fish were pushed to the back of the pool in fear. This made for a short period of fun with medium sink tip line. I usually don't fish there during salmon season so I was surprised to see it was nothing but glow bugs split shot but running floating line.
Through out the river, the majority of the vehicles were out of state so like Snagger said, hopefully these guys get a good run for there vacation.

Glad you guys got into a few fish Scott! The more ya go the better/more experienced you get and the more addicting it becomes!!! ;D ;)
Are ya headed back at all this fall?
Thanks for posting Ernie's Salmon Shane.... Nice Fish!

Going to head back up tomorrow. I notice people are catching steelhead is there any chance of them hitting the single egg or should I have a fly on around them? I was going to head back to ballpark because it was so easy to park. Is this the time of year its worth it to pay for the dsr when the fish are really low? I got my feet wet yesterday so tomorrow ill be looking to hookup. Where do people park for the staircase?my map took me to a parking lot which consisted of 2 handicap parking spots....I saw people parking at the lot of some closed business right on jefferson but i have a nice new car that I really dont want to get towed. If anybody will be up there or has any advice lmk. ill be in the blue car or ill be the newbish guy walkin all over fumbling this 9 foot fly rod im still new to with a black backpack strapped on. After hearing straight horror stories everywhere I went about SR I encountered allextremely nice people while I was there! One nice guy even offered his spot to me when he saw me wandering around. Everyone who saw me asked me where the fish were which gave me a nice chuckle because It took me long enough to find ball park let alone a fish in it! im officially hooked I spent half as much on gas to get there as I do for gas for the boat on oneida haha! Cant wait to catch a fish and cant wait for steelhead so maybe I can feel like a fisherman-with like different lures to use and stuff haha
Any tips of where to take my new 5 wt trout reel to get setup with everything I need?I was going to take it to mickeys but I figured one of the places near SR would probably be better...

just get some backing and a floating 5 wt line. Just make sure you clean the line or it doesn't shoot as well

Well he has an incentive to fill his lot, that's his job..can't blame him for that...just take the reports as what they are..You or me have no incentive til stretch the truth, i'm not a guide .... your not..if it sucks I say it sucks, if were hooking 60, you better believe it, got no reason to lie.
-
There should be allot of fish coming up . Saw big pods all over port last night. They are line shy though. Most guys in port where using 12# and not hooking any. I had 6# and had hits every cast. That Salmon swalowed my hook . Wish I was there today.
-
Heres my scale for that fish yesterday..

Well I hope it's for real today..because they lied like hell yesterday.. I had guys there.. Where did yesterday's fish go?. My whole house hit the lower end today........ LB ....... staircase...... ball park ect''.. a few hook ups but nothing great..alot of walking and working today...even my veterans coudn't do double digits today...We'll see if that big run is in Pulaski this evening or tomorrow...
-
Call me shane

I know im a newbie but I walked from ball park all the way down to black hole, saw about 4 fish hooked up 2 landed. Figured if I kept walking down id run into a run of fish coming up....never happened. Got In the river at 8 and was walking back at 1230. The one landed near me was a really nice coho,the first big salmon ive seen to be honest so it was exciting. Was thinking about going to the dsr this morning but decided to wait and spend the money when I know that it will be full. Got acclimated around everything so wasnt all a loss, cant wait to the fish come I have almost every morning off to go up!

Well Shane, you know I wasnt lying and we saw 100's of fish, I dont know where they went after they went by us on the DSR...but we saw pods swimming by, fish jumping, tons of hookups, etc....so they were there....
I will say this about the DSR...im getting their Twitter and Facebook updates on my phone...all week long they kept saying, slow, no fish, nothing happening, etc....so from what I could tell they were being very honest. Yesterday they said that the fish were moving and pods coming through and we got into more fish than we saw all week. I dont know those guys from anyone else...but from what I could tell they were being honest.

Just got this through Twitter from the DSR:

Wasn't talking about you Scott...I had some other guys there that said yes there was some fish..not a major run by any means..really not even as good as late August... You guys did well in that pool because you had 60-80 fish swimming around there and not moving.. That's not a run, thats just some fish..that's all I meant, believe me it gets alot better than what you experienced..,. I'm just saying hopefully today is a REAL run, not just small groups... I have guys down low right now that say it's picking up compared to earlier... take care bro!!!
Esox your box has been full the last few days.

well I skipped coming up today, but tomorrow might still be in the cards....
-
Nice fish! Get that on skein?
styrafoam marshmallo on a #2 mustad hook. That swollowed my hook so deep ,I could not see it. {red}
-
I heard the fish above the Bridge in port , moved up. You guys should be getting into them by now. Ranger said they got a native coho in the trailer hole today. Fish and wildlife was at the boat launch checking fish. He told them there are allot of native fish this year.
-
Well I figure the coho run would be down low today so I bit the bullet and went to the DSR. Fished little black all day. Pods and pods of cohos came through all afternoon. Never seen so many cohos. Great day.

Shane, was great meeting you again with Scott, we had a great time. Thanks for your help with gear and introducing Chris and Mark.
Weds we thought was going to be great, started off at Trestle and hooked up/landed low 20# king, had 2 other hooks ups but no dice.
Thurs we started at Trestle again, i went 0 for 3 then it dies down. We then moved to that hole Mark showed up down low, nothing happening but Mark did land a nice king. We went back to trestle to finish the day, no hits for us but did see several hooked up however no one could land them. Three of us got the skunk Thurs.
Friday was by far the best fishing day, i went 2 for 16, landing 1 12lb brown and low 20 lb king, had another fight for over 16 minutes and she was beat up and sideways in current, line hit a rock and away she went, was a really fat king, guide said well over 30#'s, bummer. Also had several other long fights that certainly makes the arm hurt, great day for us NH boys. My buddy mike 2 for 8 landed a fat king and nice coho and Scott landed a steelie and lost a couple nice kings. Nothing like these big salmon doing flips and jumps, amazing shows they put on. So we got a grand slam as a group, not bad. The guide said clay hole and little black were on fire with everyone catching. Who knows but thats what he said. I will be back in 2 weeks for a day trip, i am hooked :D
If anyone needs advice on catching fall fish, Scott is the man. He went 4 for 4 on chubs...LOL (Sorry Scott, had to do it ;D)

I think its a real run today.... Saw tons of hook ups down were mark was.... saw as many as 8 to 10 on at a time... All cohos.... Saw a good mix (25 or 30) of kings and cohos just swirling around in the town pool also.. Jay said the Ball park was also on fire just before dark... cohos and kings...
Thanks bro... I called you back and left you a message a while back !!

I just wouldn't know the difference, I'm learning man....the more trips I make the more I will learn. To me is seemed like a huge run lol thanks again for all your help!

Nice fish to the NH guys! I'm glad to hear your trip was a success! Next time you come up there should be fish in the entire river for you guys to hit. Those Salmon really fight like crazy huh? If you could make it up around the end of October the crowds are less and the chance of multi species with ease is very high. Thanks for the weekend posts.
It made me have to drive up for 2.5 hours of fishing after work today.

I was up there yesterday Above the town pool and the fishing was not as hot but there was fish.. The town pool was full of kings and some cohos and they where not moving out of pool at 5pm. There where some bright kings. esoxv and me seen a few hundred just milling around in the pool. I was thinking of going down to where you guys where but I was feeling a cold coming on... >:( and I was right! not feeling so good right now..lol I did hit but didn't land any. Two steelies, two kings two cohos none to the shore.
-
Awsome day you guys had. Wish I could have stayed. Don't much time with my son, so I take what I can get. Great pics.

Wow, Looks like I missed out again. I wanted to come up this weekend but had to sink major $$$ into the wife's vehicle yesterday. I'm gonna have to stay home and fish the local water. >:(

Im so mad I didnt go to the dsr yesterday morning and instead milled around staircase/black hole because I had to leave at 1! I missed it by a few hours,might have hit the run in the dsr!hey ya live and learn. Might head to the dsr tomorrow
-
Great pictures................. :thumbup_smilie: :clapping:

I wonder if the seasonal draw down of Lake Ontario affects the run of fish? If the fish are staged and the lake begins to drop fast do the fish move up, back off or have no change?

I had guys everywhere today..Ballpark..papermill, below 2a ...staircase, lb...it was steady all over, the insane "blitz" from yesterday spread out into a nice wide good run, the guys who hit more than 30 hook ups were in the ball park from my house, you had to be in key spots and worked much harder today..but it was still great... like gremlin said, all depended on your skill level,..but they were there.. Yesterday when I fished, I seen nothing but coho's ..some steelhead and about 20 browns go by me...I still can't get over how great it was yesterday evening today everyone i talked too said kings were mixed in as well.... ....I also had a friend in his boat at the port today that destroyed the kings...it's loaded again...

I fished the Town pool this afternoon and it was loaded with Cohos. Guys said it was great in the morning. Around 5-6ish the cohos seemed to thin out and then there seemed to be more kings around. The first 2 or 3 hrs was nuts.
-
I am haunted by waters.
-
was going to go tomorrow morning. Are there fish waiting to come in tomorrow so I should go to dsr?or go up high to hit the last run?Just looking for my first fish I left 2 hours before it started on Saturday after being there all morning because I had to had to work haha. Worst timing ever! So now im desperate to get back up and try again!
-
I fished again this evening after work down low. Luckily enough, a couple guys left a spot so I went up to the head of the run. There were a stack of Cohos there. It went in flurries of 6 or 8 hookups then nothing for 10 minutes or so.
Nice fishing with you Northwoods!
-

Their Twitter feed is quiet today....I havent checked Facebook, but thats good news to hear. The whole river should have them throughout by now I would suspect. How is it out in front of your house Shane?

It's getting there...there starting to accumulate up here..it takes time...should be in good shape for next weekend. Well maybe it's not the run of the century at DSR, but the fact that another group filled the port and took off up the DSR back to back is kind of unusual this early...besides labor day weekend it's shaping up to be a spectacular early season...

same here...that rich politician scumbag will never get a cent of MY money

So will the fish stay in the river now heavy till end of salmon season (End meaning they all start to die and get weak) or will it go back to slows days waiting for another run once these get caught. As Scott said, we want to do a day trip in 2 weeks and want to make sure it's great fishing. Wondering if there will even be a bad day from now on out
-
I had guys everywhere today..Ballpark..papermill, below 2a ...staircase, lb...it was steady all over, the insane "blitz" from yesterday spread out into a nice wide good run, the guys who hit more than 30 hook ups were in the ball park from my house, you had to be in key spots and worked much harder today..but it was still great... like gremlin said, all depended on your skill level,..but they were there.. Yesterday when I fished, I seen nothing but coho's ..some steelhead and about 20 browns go by me...I still can't get over how great it was yesterday evening today everyone i talked too said kings were mixed in as well.... ....I also had a friend in his boat at the port today that destroyed the kings...it's loaded again...
Are they still enforcing the no walking on the RR tracks at the papermill?

There will be plenty of fish in the system from now till they start dying off. The problem will become them just sitting in holes instead of moving though and that'll make for tougher fishing.
-

No problems that I heard..must have been a one day thing. Salmon Stalker Like dmntd said ....... in September each one of these runs accumulates upriver and by around Oct. 1st the upper end is loaded and stays that way til it fades away into steelhead fishing later in the month...
-
Want to say thanks to my new friends who took me backup to the river for a taste of the fishing, it was alot of fun, unfortunatly only have the last week of sept till i half to leave for illinois. Back to the jungle for another week of 16hr shifts. Keep the posts going guys i love to read them before going in it starts the day off right. Put alittle gravel in ur travel and fish on. Kowboy

What's gonna bring the kings in lake temp or river temp? Do we need more rain?

A little of everything. Upwelling will bring fish to the river, rain will increase the flow and bring fish up the river.

Guys came in with a big batch of coho's to have cleaned this afternoon and said they got them in Altmar....so I went to Ellis Cove about 15 minutes ago...it was really cool to watch the coho's blasting the rapids with water shooting into the air.... one right after another.... not one fisherman around in any direction.....

headed up there at 8am, ive now visited majority of the tackle shops in pulaski so that was a small victory! wasnt very much info this morning on the net about where to start lookin for my first landed salmon so I headed to sportsmans. A couple jumping out of the water here and there, I walked the bank there werent any hookups and just seemed calm. so I said screw it shelled out 45 bucks and went to the dsr. It was gorgeous there all day, saw tons of cohos. Landed 2 successfully, the first fish I ever landed on a fly rod it was a blast! A guy near me landed a huge steelhead they were saying was around 20 lbs. For the entire time down low there were coho, somebody was always hooked up to one. Walked from down low up to the top around 3 didnt see much going on so I headed home after 6 hours. It was awesome to land my first salmon,didnt get pics as everything happened so fast and I was alone. Cant wait to head back up wed or thur!

I don't have a dog in this fight, but that is the furthest thing from the truth. As I reported last week...they were sending reports out DAILY saying, no fish, fishing is slow, a few trickled in, but nothing great, etc....then when the runs started they were all over it. As far as I can see they are being pretty darn honest in their assessments. Why would they risk saying they have lots of fish coming through only to get people to their facility and no fish being caught, it will piss off their customers and they wont go back. They have more to lose by lying. I don't agree 1 bit with the philosophy of Barclay and his river ownership rights, matter of fact I think it totally sucks, but it is what it is until someone starts a strong enough push to take this to court and try and fight it more. So I will merely report what they are sending out if people want to read it or believe it great, if not, maybe you will miss out on good information.

Once the runs start they will say that scott. Cause guys will always be hitting fish at first light down there. Doesn't always mean its another big run. They go by what the customers are telling them.
-
Well when DSR reports a run, yet also says most action is down low, that typically doesn't translate into action above. If it does it's normally 24-36hrs later. Good to hear about Ellis. I walked it Sun, not much there, no one fishing. Down low was good, as someone else stated it's all about location. I fished just above like 30 yards above a popular "hole" . There were 20 guys shoulder to shoulder in the hole. Me & 3 others were all above. We hooked more than the 20 combined.
Also had one of my favorites happen. The "newbie" walk right up & fish 4' away. Ya gotta love it when you see a guy that has no clue on timing the chuck & duck to avoid snagging others gear stand right next to ya. This guy was even holding his spinning rod upside down (the reel on top). Fourtunately he was nice enough though & After about 20 mins of snagging someone else almost every cast, he decided to back up & just watch.
-
Bcons u were at the ballpark right...lol i seen the same guy i was the fat guy with tan waders and a camo hat fishing the hole up top

Its a chuck and duck circus. you can literally watch people push other people over for spots to fish.

columbus weekend is crazy last year i walked from school house all the way to the 2nd wire before me and my buddy found a spot to jump in the river. But i still had a blast landed a nice steelie too.
-
cohos , cohos , and more cohos ;D the port was full of em . good to see ya stormy wish ya woulda come with us ....... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Hopefully we'll see those coho's Friday! Unless they blast up the river!
-
This picture somes it up...UNBELIEVABLE afternoon...COHOS COHO'S COHO'S The whole lodge fished the LB and lower staircase....you litterly could hook one almost every cast for the last 2 hours...it was Silly...doulbles..triples .... at one point we had 7 on at the same time...... I know I hit 60 in 3 hours..everyone smashed them ...it was totally insane......
Shane, thanks for another awesome weekend of fishing! Saturday afternoon at the Staircase was totally insane, something I will remember for a long time. It was great fishing with the whole gang from the lodge. Look forward to my next trip up for the Steelies...I may even put fly line back on my reel, NOT!
Capt. Mike, good fishing with you on Monday at the Ballpark, thanks for the tips! Send me your email and I will send you the pic of your monster King,
Tight Lines to all!

Been busy getting things done...yesterday the guys from here that fished in Pulaski said it was a slow morning, but as has been the case recently mid afternoon turned out really good...good hook up numbers again at the lb..,staircase and ball park, just groups of coho's, some kings and a few big trout...somebody said something about the coho's blasting upriver...yep fly zone and hatchery are loaded now....leaving parts of the upper river with empty holes in the coho run...
In Scotts defense...dsr has had a harder time sugar coating there reports with live mobile internet feeds this year telling you it sucks or it's great...i'm still trying to get a feel to what they say and what we see up river.........
Alot of moisture building in different parts of the country..wonder how much will be headed this way the next few days?.....

Thanks Shane, I love reading the reports it gets me itching to get right back up there!!!
When does the hatchery open up to start processing the fish? Are there certain dates that they do it?

I fished yesterday all. day. Sorry I missed you Stormy!
I basically moved a bunch but fished low for the most part. There were fish everywhere but numbers were sporadic. The deeper pools had pods of Cohos. Like Snagger said, the fish didn't move much until everyone packed it up around 6pm. I encountered a photo problem with my multimedia phone pictures. I'll post some when it's fixed. Got my first Lake run Brown for the season.
Good luck to all!
-
Fished Staircase this morning. Couple moved, but not many. Plenty to hookup with if you know where to look. Almost everyone near me hooked up more than once in the 2 hrs I was there. The guys "sight fishing" or waiting for the runs, did just that waited. It appeared about half of the fish that did move up, weren't running "up", but rather screaming outa the area after breaking someone off.
I went up for a bit, just to check it out. Not much above Trestle. From what a friend told me who was out this morning, midriver was the same, just holding in pools.
Good luck!
-
spent the day picking up and getting my stuff back in order. Also switched my 8wt fly rod from mono to running line. The mono was nice and cheap to get me started but it was horrible for mending the line and when I was doing long casts. It would work perfect for those short little chucks every does when you're arm to arm but I dont really have a desire to do that. The dsr was a blast on monday, heading back up tomorrow hoping the rain will bring more in. Probably will stick to ball park and staircase? Might think about spending the 45 again but was thinking about waiting until next week when itll be really full. It stinks because I cant seem to find a report about where fish are until 9am most days, so I suit up at one place,find no fish,then have to cover myself in garbage bags to not ruin my car then head lower haha. good times

I hear you on the no reports till 9am.
That's the whole gamble on the river. Where do we start. They were here yesterday and were on the move so they should be ????? this morning? I think Pulaski's vehicle traffic is busiest from 9am - 10am during salmon season due to lots of anglers trying to find the hot spot. That is a definate postive about the first light fishing on the DSR-They are usually there in the mornings.

this year has been that way so far, but remember, it's mostly coho runs so far. Always hard to try and nail them buggers down. More often than not I have sat in DSR and the fish just wouldn't come out of the estuary, or they moved in overnight and I was behind them. You can always catch fish there, but the odds of hit or miss on a major push is much higher. Once the fish do push into the river you can usually figure out where on the river they are. This is the first year we are getting live updates from the river. I was there saturday looking over my left shoulder at the manager of the DSR. He wasn't BS'ing about the lights out fishing one bit.

Boys smoked em again today down low..many browns today mixed in with the coho's...cleaned some kings from up top...... Can't believe the coho's are running for the 5th day in a row...amazing...starting to wonder if the DEC accidentally imprinted other people's fish again to our system after this.....

String and tin cans I bet.

I made so many ESPN casts yesterday ...my shoulder is killing me. I could barely pull the bow back today.

Make sure you guys wear your glasses. I took a no 2 splitshot to the eye today going about 90. Felt like tyson punched me. Fished about a hr and a half had 11 hookups. I would get 3 in a row then nothing for a about 15 mins. Lost a big steelhead. Saw cohos today already starting to get some color

I agree. it's crazy isn't it. I used to enjoy having a beeper. Sometimes you fund a payphone and sometimes you didn't. Sometimes you found a payphone and it was broken. Now, if only I can convince my wife that my cellphone doesn't have reception when I'm standing in the water:) Either that or I tell I was up in altmar, I don't get good reception up there.

And that's probably a good thing!!LOL I wish the whole river was! I've seen it soooo many times, when someone pokes into the hole you've been in since the sun rose, asks if he can join you, watches you catch a few fish, pulls his phone out to let his frinds know where he's at and to head right over! "guy's are killen over here. get niel, bob, duche, and bag together and get here quick!" ----I hate it. For an emergency it can save your life but besides that, stick em. OK, I Know this is for fish reports, sorry, I'm done.

10 years sounds good too! I was digging through some old picts this evening and found this one from oct 22, 2001.
Imagin fishing that spot all day, that time of the year with hundreds of fish around and only seeing one other dude below us plus a few up around the bend, and 1 boat come by. Those days are gone...

Not to many guys bsing much lately............I got a new topic that ought to spur some chit chat. The new edition of the In-Fisherman has a good article by Matt Straw about nymphing for Steelies under floats.
Here's some excerpts:-
Brad Eggold, fisheries supervisor for the Wisconsin DNR, said one of his departments tasks each year is to capture Skamania-strain steelhead and keep them in a holding pond for egg collection. "They won't eat anything all winter long." Eggold said. "We've tried everything-minnows, food pellets, invertebrates. Nothing seems to inspire them to feed."
Back in the 70's & 80's, Dick Pobst.................Orvis Shop in Ada, Michigan, pumped the stomachs of hundreds of steelhead...............Most of the time I find nothing at all, but the most common find in the stomachs of winter steelhead are aquatic insects.
Steelhead don't eat much once they enter a river, but they do eat. They take free drifting eggs below salmon redds in fall. It's an observable phenomenon, but eggs dissolve into fluid in their stomachs in short order. Invertebrates, like stonefly nymphs, take a little longer to digest. By all accounts, these are what steelhead forage on most when when other fish aren't spawning and releasing volumes of eggs into the flow. When a hot steelhead bite dies in February, March or April, stoneflies are a likely culprit.
His point is that nymphing is a primary food source and one that is best presented by drifting or floating a nymph, aquatic insect or invertebrates under a float. Paying attention to details like a hatch (even in winter) can be the key to success.
A couple of limited studies suggest that nymphs migrate in a river and could be the reason a hot bite with other lures or types of bait suddenly ceases. When that happens try a stonefly or some articulated plastic invertebrates but look first at what is actually in the river you are fishing first. Much of this is basic knowledge but I found some of the info. quite intriguing.
Lewis at Erie Outfitters notes when choosing nymph imitations on rivers all over the Great Lakes region, he generally prefers flies he ties himself, yet he knows how effective plastics can be. "I hate to say it but plastics look more realistic."
Conclusion.......plastics are better than flies and likely will outproduce them for steelhead.
Maybe some of the veteran guys have some other tidbits to add.
On page 13 there is a paragraph on the perils of soft baits (Conservation Concerns). They autopsied a 21" LM Bass that weighed less than 3 lbs. and found the stomach packed with softbaits at various degrees of digestion. The digestive system was blocked leading to starvation.
The proverbial rock and hard place I suppose.

Great post Bob .... I always thought nymphs would be great under a float. It produces a drag free drift ... Exactly what you are looking for working a nymphs.

funny you should mention it, I sat down at the vise tonight to tie these steely stones up.

No argument here..I've cleaned steelhead with stoneflies in them in winter, but the guy is right about empty bellies...90 % are empty after the egg gorge is over in early november.. 2nd most found thing in a steelheads belly after eggs...is plastic's .....things like crazy eggs from the salmon guys. an occational stocked trout in late winter/spring... mostly empty though...in october I empty out all of the contents of the steelheads belly on the ground and match my beads to the most common color found in the fish...
Almost time for the 9am report... :w00t:
-
nice read...
i have witnessed the mid-winter shutdown on the egg bite on fish that have been in the winter holding stale pattern for weeks. these are mostly fish that are in the bigger wintering pools that haven't moved for sometime.Or, have been pressured. only to pound the snot out of them on small buggy imitators. but ive also been in the midst of a late january pod of fresh chromers that were scarfing down my big blue egg sacks as fast as i could get my float sitting right in the drift.
my 2 cents...

SNAGG YOUR IN BOX IS FULL.......... ::)

10 years sounds good too! I was digging through some old picts this evening and found this one from oct 22, 2001.
Imagin fishing that spot all day, that time of the year with hundreds of fish around and only seeing one other dude below us plus a few up around the bend, and 1 boat come by. Those days are gone...

thank you for making me feel better. I fished the same times as you at BP,lower staircase, and sportsmen. Saw fishing jumping at sportsmen no takers anywhere,the fish were pretty colored. Stopped back at ballpark around 1 and it seemed like people were catching a few but I had to leave. This was from 7-1,did alot of walking.Did see a real nice steelhead at ballpark right before I left
-
No joke wear your glasses. I almost lost a eye yesterday. Glasses only thing that saved me and a still almost lost it

Football helmet and facemask with faceshield, tinted works for the mad iceman,lol.

I had 2 sets of guys at the ball park that said they did well..cleaned 8 fish for them...steelhead..coho's and kings... They weren't here for the big run a few days ago, so they said it was great..hooked 20 each or so...just telling you what I heard in my fillet station...
heres 2 of them. nice 15lb. steelhead.

Well after fishing for kings for a couple weeks with a normal setup, I've switched over to the float already (yeah, i know it's too early)
been running skien for the last few days and have some decent luck....a dozen salmon, 4 domestic rainbows, 3 steelhead and .......a couple bass. Now I know i'm gonna get a lot of crap for saying that I caught some legitimate kings on skien...but i'm telling you guys the fish that I'm getting to bite are HAMMERING the presentation. the first day I tried it I hooked 3...and was thinking to myself that it couldnt be possible, must of just had a good drift right into the mouth....thats all.
next day 3-4 more hooked, and I actually watched a salmon move about 5 feet to get a better look...he didnt take but he moved and that's what really suprised me.
went out tonight and hooked 6....I'm dumb-founded. Now I know i'll never hook 50 fish a day floating for kings....but, the ones that are taking really are taking hard. It wont be something i'll do all salmon season, it's messy and takes a lot of eggs, but i thought it would be fun to give it a shot.

There's plenty that say it works..........I never did it ................yet.........but I will. Maybe next season. I think they hit it......whether they are feeding or not is to difficult to say. To many variables like when did they enter the river, water temps, aggressive strikes, etc..... I don't believe that all of my 14 hook ups a couple of weeks ago were lifting and lining. I know some must have been but there were times I cast and instantly BAM!!! Mouth hooked for sure. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzing. Awesome stuff for me. I'll be ready and landing them next year. (Who knows, if I can sneak away maybe.......in a week or two but not likely til November).
Thanks for the report I like it! :clapping: :clapping:

Great report ernye!
I experimented with float fishing for King Salmon too. They definitively will make the float drop. Like you said though, it's not like fishing in rapids and hooking up every other...
I have had luck with skein and egg sacks in the slower pools in the middle of the river.
Here's one from a while ago that crushed my egg sack.

nice report erney as usual... ;)
hey; props to you for your efforts; if you are bothered by the mess with skein i suggest using some glo bug yarn wadded up and pinched through a snell knot... thick... may work better than the skein even... ;)
-
Here's a good knot for skein fishing..........the bumper. It'll take a while for him to get to it but the video is worth watching IMO.

Way too much drama and animosity lately here on the site...if people want to tell fish tales, let them, who is to say they arent having that many hookups? I suck at this type of fishing, but I had 10 last week BEFORE THE RUN!!! My Buddy Ryan, who had never done it before had 20...the numbers to me are realistic if you know what you are doing if schlubs like us can do that well.

gota love these "updates"
you know what I find WEIRD,that you fished here for 21 years and didn't hook fish for 13 hours and didn't move.at some point didn't you think maybe I should go somewhere else or at least move off the same rock.so instead of critisizing other reports try moving next time there is "NO FISH,I REPEAT NO FISH"
-
Well I better start looking the salmon over good in the fillet station if everyone is going to start pinning for salmon.those cadmium nickle hooks are hard too see in there sides, they get me every time. almost lost some work days over them 2 years ago... oh and i didn't post that pic to one up anybody yesterday...had 2 good reports come in about the ball park, so i posted it, thats all... ball parks a big place..from the needle to rt 81 is alot of water, no one can see all of it unless you get in your truck and physically move...great job with the skein Erney, but is watching a float more skilled than bottom bouncing , i personally think float fishing is simple, bottom bouncing takes talent...just my 2 cents .... not starting a war i hope...once again nice job erney..

Mr. Frogger....
First of all sorry I did make a mistake (typo), It was an hour before light to bout 1:00... 6:00 am-1:00pm so thats was 7 hours not 13 ...and the "report" was for the Ball Park to the Clam shed area... and Actually not criticizing anyone simply trying to post a HONEST report. And yes this was from "ONE" rock... and from that "one" rock Not ONE fish can go by without us ACTUALLY SEEING IT... Now maby when the fishing slows down you run around the river like all the other mental cases LOOKING for the honey hole that simply is'nt there...thats why theres the most traffic in Pulaski 8-10:00 every morning.
All I simlply was doing was trying to give a RARE and HONEST river report for that morning...It wont happen again..because I guess I must be missing all the 30-50 fish hook-ups on each side of me EVERY DAY.. maby this afternoon I'll go to town and get some glasses...
Have a good one my friends

No skin of my a$%. As another post pointed out, you stood in the river with no fish for that long when you live here? While tourists do it since they're not here all the time, most of the locals I know, either move, or go home to get other stuff done, & fish another day.

Uhhh did I say BP to Clam? no, I said BP, I try to keep it simple. I park there, then often walk either up or down. From now on I'll have to post how many footsteps up or down from the boat ramp would that help? ::) ::)
-
All I'll add to this numbers debate is...fishing posts aren't a competition if a guy post he hit 30, well maybe he did..over time you'll get a feel for the guys that really do hit 30 or 50. I have all kinds of friends at different skill levels that hit all kinds of numbers.........

Yep.. Have to agree with you Snagger.. But i grew up Bottom Bouncing so it's just a way of life for me..besides if i am going to to put a grand in a Set up for Center Pins or My Harley.. The Harley wins out every time...But that is me and to each their own..

Sorry, how right you are, I don't know what everyone does. I think next time I see NO fish, I'll keep standing there for 7 hours. ::) Why take a walk? Besides you attacked me. I never posted numbers, I never said hot. I just said a decent amount. Sorry I should specify more so a lurker who posts 4 times in the last yr, doesn't get upset. As far as pics I used to post alot of em & spend more time on this site. Lately, I've been more concerned with finding the fish that "Aren't" ::) there.

Lol....the argueing in here is funny....the real question is did u have fun on the river if u did then what does it matter how many u hooked up on.

then why do you continue to ice fish with snagger ::) ::) ::) well ya did get him once last year i think PUPPET RULES MAN ! as i recall ;D

and people wonder how fights get started on the river...

Mr. Frogger....
First of all sorry I did make a mistake (typo), It was an hour before light to bout 1:00... 6:00 am-1:00pm so thats was 7 hours not 13 ...and the "report" was for the Ball Park to the Clam shed area... and Actually not criticizing anyone simply trying to post a HONEST report. And yes this was from "ONE" rock... and from that "one" rock Not ONE fish can go by without us ACTUALLY SEEING IT... Now maby when the fishing slows down you run around the river like all the other mental cases LOOKING for the honey hole that simply is'nt there...thats why theres the most traffic in Pulaski 8-10:00 every morning.
All I simlply was doing was trying to give a RARE and HONEST river report for that morning...It wont happen again..because I guess I must be missing all the 30-50 fish hook-ups on each side of me EVERY DAY.. maby this afternoon I'll go to town and get some glasses...
Have a good one my friends
your missing something if your not seeing someone with a fish on at all times at the bp this week

puppet minnow, get rid of those stupid things
-
I will be at the river tomorrow I dont care if I hook one its better than working lol
-
Way too much drama and animosity lately here on the site...if people want to tell fish tales, let them, who is to say they arent having that many hookups? I suck at this type of fishing, but I had 10 last week BEFORE THE RUN!!! My Buddy Ryan, who had never done it before had 20...the numbers to me are realistic if you know what you are doing if schlubs like us can do that well.
kudos to you & your Bud - you saw good action - most likely with lots of free water around you b4 the news of the run got interwebbed around the world - sounds like the type of waters I would enjoy.
Like others stated, JUST HAVE FUN.
p.s. - 99.99% of fishy report banter is pure unadulterated BBng between BBers... I admit guilt for squirting lighter fluid on the pilot light..
(i'm only human - I think... ;D).
-
There's plenty that say it works..........I never did it ................yet.........but I will. Maybe next season. I think they hit it......whether they are feeding or not is to difficult to say. To many variables like when did they enter the river, water temps, aggressive strikes, etc..... I don't believe that all of my 14 hook ups a couple of weeks ago were lifting and lining. I know some must have been but there were times I cast and instantly BAM!!! Mouth hooked for sure. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzing. Awesome stuff for me. I'll be ready and landing them next year. (Who knows, if I can sneak away maybe.......in a week or two but not likely til November).
Thanks for the report I like it! :clapping: :clapping:
I was looking around to see how you did on your recent trip - I'm glad to hear you got to battle with more than a few..
Did you fish down in the estuary like you planned?
I recall laughing when you first exclaimed "What a scene Man!!!" - after another gent here posted up a pic of the crowded Rte 3 bridge b4 you headed up on your trip.
Just wondering if you got an up close & personal experience , and how it went for you..
Also curious if you landed any of them fish. No criticism intended whatsoever, just curious..
If not, what reasons do think were at fault?Break offs? Operator error - not ready for the Sudden Surge of the fish, drag problems,river debris, etc.
I think that if you came away with an unbroken fishing rig you did well, lotsa folks don't fare so well.

I've been trying to behave Mr. Roy. :angel: :angel:
2 friends just got off the river. Slowwwww. They moved around alot, found some in the normal places. The spot I ran into a bunch of you regulars early Sat. Morn. etc........... was ok. Supposedly there were some that hid in the white water 40-50 yards downstream from where you all were They would come out to play 1 by one once and a while. A couple other guys that were there had a couple decent ropes to leave with. As always for the doubters location matters. I'm told outside of 50 yards from there not much going on.
Drove by the port it's still loaded, if this rain will ever develop :cursing: :cursing:
Good luck to any who try this weekend.

Here comes the rain .... a whole lot of it ..... Raining in Norwich heading north . adkRoy .... We don't need no hand holding here ... Move along nothing to see here ....

Must be nice to have an "Understaffed" State Agency payed for by public fishing license dollars work as Private Rent-A-Cops so you can charge $ so peeps can catch fish stocked with public fishing license dollars...
-
The river keepers walk down to the island above the bridge and threaten any boats fishing there. I'm guessing the DEC comes and kicks them off. Last time we were there we just nodded, packed up, and waited for them to leave, and then went back to our spots.

Yup laying right in there. Guys are catching on. Alot more fishing the other side now. I think the guy with the visor has a tent there. He has been there the last 11 times
-
how can you kick ppl out of the estuary? and the dsr is a joke. i hate that guy

I don't think I have donated any Blackbird hooks to you in a couple years Snagger. I remember the incident you had. Ouchhh. I have 6 months of SR Steelhead fishing after the Salmon spawn. I'll keep the tiny ones in the box until the end of October.
That's nice white water.....Who is the guy with the visor I keep seeing?

You can't anchor up in the part that the dsr owns but I have never heard anything about anchoring in the estuary.... THEY ARE A JOKE!!

then why do you continue to ice fish with snagger ::) ::) ::) well ya did get him once last year i think PUPPET RULES MAN ! as i recall ;D
DD.........a little senior wisdom is about to come forth. Stormy is right it's always about numbers even when we won't admit it or hide it. All Stormy was sayin is you don't have to win to have a set, just compete!!! Someone always loses in the Octogon but they went in didn't they?

Dude, you and I have chatted before. No problems with yours or anyones inquiries. Sometimes the written words are hard to interpret since there is no body language with it. To much walking on egg shells because of a little misunderstanding in the above threads. Life is to short to sweat the small stuff but, having said that I too, am guilty of doing the same thing sometimes. After all we are human.
I did not fish the estuary nor did I bring my 8' Tidemaster rod (I think that was a mistake) but I did visit the estuary several times and if I thought there was a chance to catch anything I would have fished it. I didn't bring the boat either but solo would have been difficult to say the least.
Monday - Wednesday I caught one smallmouth (staircase) and one chubb (below sportsmans). I had one King (I believe) go for a swim shad I was articulating down at the staircase on Monday but it either missed it or was on/off as fast as it was on. It appeared to roll/twist as I tried to set the hook. I do believe the water went to 750 cfs late Tues. early Wed. and Shane and the boys expected a run at the Black by 3pm Wed. Well enough of one came through late in the day but I missed out on any good action. I was one of a few that didn't hook up while down there. I saw plenty of fish and hook ups though.
That night talk turned to Thursday as the day to be out. So Adam2000 met me at the BP about 6:30 am. By the time I got to him I saw him with multiple hook ups and my heart was pounding with excitement although I was concerned about my lack of production the night before. I thought I was doing something wrong. Adam showed me how much weight he was using since the water was pretty fast where we fished. I added some weight and like on the 3rd cast whammo, whack, bam-boom fish on!!! I had already got to watch Adam and had some pointers from some of the boys so I was ready. I knew if this fish went down stream I would be in trouble since there was really no way around the rapids below us (about 150-200' below). I thought I did a good job of controlling it for a while and was not anxious about it just patient. The plan was to tire it out. :cookoo: :cookoo: It started downstream and I kept some good side pressure to prevent but 12lb with the 10' noodle and that flow along with my lack of experience was a losing effort. It finally did go down to those lower rapids where I could not follow and I held it there a bit (about 100' away) until it decided to go further down. I fingered the drag to try and stop it but soon enough there was a SNAP!!! :blink: :blink: :pinch: :pinch: That was a good 8-10 min. fight and a lot of fun. I had about 4 good fights like that but a little shorter time. One big one I almost got into the shallower water but he muscled upstream fast.........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz rocks........dink,gone. Again a blast. I also noticed how frayed the line had gotten which reduced my chances of landing any. In fact, it was hard to decide where to retie and what to cut off. If I didn't have to leave by 11am I would have respooled and did a back up spool but time was short. I had a big smile when I left and Thursday made up for the lack of production the 3 previous days!!! I'll be back. Next time 17lb line, extra spool and the Tidemaster rod. The heck with the 12lb line and 10' noodle rod. And my 8 wt flyrod would have been in pieces if I hooked up with that.

See, you can't read my body language so it's hard to tell what I meant. I should have placed some smileys to help since I was busting too! I feel like I know you from reading all the posts you and the boys have penned. So I just took it for granted that you would get my "senior" moment!! :rotflol: :rotflol: :w00t: :w00t:

Hey Fishglore there is no fish at the bp

Nice job on calling the radio station Stormy. Last time I was their George from Trophy Angler was also kicking people off that spot like he owned the place or worked for the DSR. We he started jabbering at me I said "are you a guide or a river keeper?" he didn't respond, probably because he had clients.
Fishgalore- the last time I was there I fished the estuary and it was a blast! Lots of hookups, but not much landed. The days I went the river was devoid of fish anyways so it payed off. I'm coming next week as long as I find a sidekick to split the gas on the haul from Vermont.

Hard to believe you did 3 tours in the Sandbox and are whining about a little lead in the eye .... :-* :-* :-*

first thing I learned my first season on the river is a good set of polarized glasses helps see fish and helps keep splits out of your eyes. My buddy that I was stationed with at the Griff, his mom worked at the old hospital in Pulaski and told us all kinds of horror stories about fisherman and their wounds. Worst one was a Michigan cricket buried in a guys eye. Lots of concussions too, one thanks to me. I was fighting a fish between the town bridge and the lower BP. My buddy jumped up on a rock to watch and readied the net. To make a long story short, fish came unhooked, hook and lead come flying back and he took the sinkers right in the forehead. His eyes rolled back in his head and we had to catch him so he wouldn't go in the drink. After a trip to the base hospital he had suffered a concussion and was taken off of duty. Another lesson learned.....don't watch a buddy fighting a fish by looking over his shoulder.
-
My little brother lost his right eye bullhead fishing when he was 5. Lead sinker hit him square in the eye. Still the only time I have seen my dad cry. Wear your glasses guys you never know.
-
Just a reminder:
Even if you use heavy line and an ocean rod these fish will find a weakness to your rig and break you off. Usually your hook straightens or breaks. It's also dangerous to other fisherman if you fish with braid or heavy mono line. When you snag and break off your rig...another fisherman can get tangled in your snagged line while wading and trip/fall/twist an ankle or possibly drown. Thursday this almost happened to me. I ended up stuck in a birdsnest of at least 50 lbs mono intertwined in my spikes and wrapped around my foot/ankle. Tripped and almost fell face first. Luckily the 335 wasn't enough to knock me over all the way.
You just have to learn how to play a hot fish and accept the fact you are only going to land a small percentage.

Posted from DSR .... The hatchery stocked 70000 more atlantics yesterday. There is also a winery in Australia with connections to here called Banrock Station Winery that donated a million dollars to the lake Ontario Atlantic salmon program ....
-
Amen to the glasses! Sadly I saw it first hand when my 10-yr old nephew took a split shot to the eye from a jumping salmon. He ended up losing an eye. It could have been prevented. Please my friends, where your glasses and insist that anyone with you do the same.
-
wow donating a million dollars is being pretty generous, we thank you :tipup:

I also fished across from the guy with visor on for 3 days in a row lol..nice guy and boy did we hook a lot of fish !!!!!!now I'm back to work and dreaming of the eye of the needle ".......

From the new (October 2011) issue of New York Game & Fish:
"DEC officials recently unveiled a long list of proposed adjustments to New York's state fishing regulations. The changes wouldn't take effect until October 1, 2012, but right now is not to soon for sportsmen to share their opinions about them, said Region 7 fisheries managers Dave Lemon....
"- Snaggers have stubbornly persisted in catching salmon and other cold-water species by purposely hooking the fish in body parts other than mouths. The latest in a series of DEC clarifications about the definition of illegal snagging will add specific will add specific languages to prohibit attempts to take fish by snagging in the state of New York....
"- Several rules changes are envisioned for the Salmon River, which slices through the Oswego County villages of Altmar and Pulaski before emptying into Lake Ontario. Perhaps the most noteworthy revision is a proposal to bar the use of any supplementary weights on a fly line or leader in two "no-kill" zones of the popular river.
"A no-weight rule would be put into place in the Upper and Lower Fly Fishing-Only Zones.
"The changes under consideration would essentially bar all use of split shot, shooting heads and similar fly-sinking devices from May 1-15 in the lower flies-only zone and May1-Aug 31 for the upper zone. Such changes should go a long way to eliminate latent forms of snagging, etc., from the Salmon River."

Am I missing something here ? Who The Hell thinks of this crap ?
-
Don't 'cha know we always need more laws and regulations. <--sarchasm.
-
Last time i fished DSR, I wound up with 4 stitches in my knee and a big ole chinook to show for it. Hard to believe 20 years have gone by in the blink of an eye. Gonna take the boy to the Altmar hatchery for the open house in the morning. I think he'll get a kick out of the salmon.
-
Am I missing something here ? Who The Hell thinks of this crap ?
if you read it the way i do. nothing is gonna change until may 1 on either stretch, seems that the salmon and steelhead season will remain unchanged according to the dates
-
You're supposed to use a rod and reel ! :blink:
LOL Solar, I was 13 and weighed all of a hundred lbs at the time, I was using a 9ft eagle claw fly rod and i honestly i dont know what kind of reel anymore. lol 20 years is a long time. hooked that chinook, and worked him for 20 min or so. during that fight, managed to lose my footing and busted my knee open. But it was one of the best times in my young life! what an adrenaline rush that was. Havent fished the river since.
-
I took a one ounce bank sinker to chest from a guy next to me lifting . That's basically a shotgun slug. Could only imagine if that would of hit my eye. I always wear the glasses now.

Are you from "Arcade" or do you own one ? Got a friend out there that I haven't seen in several years.

You guys need to stop reporting there are any fish near town except in the pool. It makes some people cranky & call you a liar. There's no fish there. ::)

Walked Trout Brook this morning, very very few fish. Way more fisherman than fish. Hit the River for a few, went one for one. They were quite thin up there. Hopefully this week's rain will make them thick. ;)

Well I better start looking the salmon over good in the fillet station if everyone is going to start pinning for salmon.those cadmium nickle hooks are hard too see in there sides, they get me every time. almost lost some work days over them 2 years ago... oh and i didn't post that pic to one up anybody yesterday...had 2 good reports come in about the ball park, so i posted it, thats all... ball parks a big place..from the needle to rt 81 is alot of water, no one can see all of it unless you get in your truck and physically move...great job with the skein Erney, but is watching a float more skilled than bottom bouncing , i personally think float fishing is simple, bottom bouncing takes talent...just my 2 cents .... not starting a war i hope...once again nice job erney..
little late on this one sorry fellas,
heck no watching a float doesnt take more skill than bottom bouncing...but it's effective. and i dont mean effective as in your going to hook 50 fish, but you will be able to present your offering to that small percentage of fish that are willing to bite juuuust right....not to mention I've lost 2 hooks in 4 days of fishing...and lost only 1 fish while using 6lb leader. it's like steelheading....except the whole process is messier, and not as much action.
anyway, me and a friend banged another 8 yesterday on skein.
c'mon rain.
-
Am I missing something here ? Who The Hell thinks of this crap ?
so the fish get a two week break in may in the LFZ and I think you cant use split shot in the UFZ all summer...not sure when the date start...I dont think it's a terrible idea. Those fish get blasted on.....all day, every day, multiple times a day...I've seen more floaters from the fly zones than almost anywhere.

that's because its catch and release the fish fight to the death releasing them only feeds gulls

I finally had a good day yesterday! It was slow at best in town then tried the paper mill just in time for a nice run of cohos if anyone was there i was the guy at the back who had a fish on e
very other flip

AND...That's not a lie!! ;D GADAM WORK! :P Good to see you boys are keeping the BS to a mininum and keeping the reports rolling!! ::) I did see quite a few fish hooked up today and a nice little pod of steelies hiding out in one of Jr's honey holes!! ;) FISH ON...YOU GOONS!!--KP 8)

Saturday September 24th fishing report:
Estuary has been full of kings for quite some time now... theres no weather to trigger them right now, hopefully they'll just move for no reason...Every year theres a run this week coming up, usually triggered by rains...but until then the river is tricky right now.. most of the action is mid to upper river right now..ball park and lower is tough from what I was told, actually closed the station for a couple hours and went scouting around looking for some fish for the guys here, I mean besides the trestle pool... I don't send guys there...
Some of the veterans here hooked 20+ fish, but most were just happy hooking a half dozen today. Theres not enough kings in the river to support the crowds that showed up today..every lot from the LFZ to ellis was full..three rows in ellis and the shoulder of the road full...It is what it is till the next run arrives, good mix of browns..steel..and coho's I seen today on ropes in my adventures, I hooked 7 coho's in about 2 hours fishing this afternoon... Got to watch Pat Miura cast his spey at pineville..i'm not a flyfisherman, but man is he graceful..great stuff to watch......... good luck if you go boys.....

question... is it possible to fish the estuary from a canoe with trolling motor? just asking cause i tought it would be great to catch salmon in the canoe.

thanks for the info gonna have to try it out :laugh:

This mornings DSR Twitter:
@douglastonrun: Still slo. These kings just won't run.
-
Sounds like I need to break out the old jon boat...;) Last time they were loaded below DSR, 3 years ago I think, I got ruined for life on "regular" river fishin'. Fish On! Fish On! Fish On! It was like fishing in Beaver Dam Brook at the fish barrier.
-
hey snag was thinking about what you said about having to be careful about cleaning fish if people start floating for kings....hate to be the reason someone gets stuck by a hook so came up with a little skein rig.
(https://www.myfishfinder.com/fishing_forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1014.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Faf267%2FErnyeJS%2Fskeinrig.jpg&hash=c2f4bda050c858b14b934212ecd640c3)
should be able to float a chunk of skein above the hook just a like a bead....keep most of the hook sets from being too far back. we'll see how it works.

I love my Loomis Steelhead rod. It is a GL 3 9ft 6wt. I am also looking at a Loomis GL 3 Mega 10/11 Wt. An 8 wt could be used for steelhead, but the 10/11 would only be used for salmon and for 2 trips or so a year, I just don't know if it is worth the coin.....

Fished down low today with Ht. There was some fish but just holding in the tail. Not much moving down low this morning. We left at 11. I hooked 2 fish worth even saying I did rest were just rolled. I saw the same fish caught 3 times in 20 mins.

I'm headed up tomorrow afternoon to fish the evening and all day tues with my girlfriend. My goal is to get here on a few fish. I have only fished the river a couple times. I'm hoping for a good trip. It seems like we are timing it about right.

Fish cleaning was slow, so I strung my rod and ran floats and beads from the bridge to the second wires..actually after 1pm everybody left, I only ran into a dozen guys fishing schoolhouse...everything else was just me...but got a big skunk though , no biggie...I tried...cleaned some really nice fish from the Ellis/bovines area and above pineville...Lam bastem em said the town pool was silly with kings..nothing moving, but alot of hook ups...Dave also said the ports full, but not over full... I had guys that did well in a few places, but you had to walk for them and work hard..great weather though, shorts and sneakers for me...................

Quick question, anyone else notice it seems there is a smaller percentage of fish this yr. with Lamprey wounds? Or is it just me?
smaller? I thought more this yr. Evry spring brown had a lamprey on it
-

That's why I was asking, wanted some others opinions. Spring browns, I only got a couple, didn't get to get out much. So I'm basing my observation merely on the mudsharks & river fish now.

DSR Twitter 8am, no waiting until 9am today LOL
"Good movement of kings this morning"
that is all....
65 at night and 80+ in day time..seems fishy to me...i got some swamp land if you want it Scott :w00t:
Surface temps on lake ontario are now approaching 70 degrees again with all the west winds of late...east winds just formed today and should begin to get stronger tomorrow, then hopefully some thunderstorms and then more rain if were lucky... I wouldn't expect much REAL movement til Wedsnesday and with the weather predicted from then on out it could be a good push for many days to come after that...lots of fish in the bigger pools throughout the river...just no movement with this heat..happens every year..nothing to get worried about...just jump into the pools and deeper pockets and have some fun.

lots on the browns out in the lake. About 1 out of 5 kings in the lake had marks. But every brown did

dont shoot the messenger...haha just passing on what is being sent to me. I have no dog in the fight...I dont ever want to pay $45 again to them.....I just want to catch fish. Im a tourist in every sense of the word....until I buy this...http://www.salmonriverfishinglodge.com/ (http://www.salmonriverfishinglodge.com/) then I will become a resident.....If I could just convince the wife to let me or to get the boss to give me a raise!

well I would want a 10 ft but not a 4 piece.
In some cases 4 pieces is better than (2) 6 1/2 footers! My 8 wt flyrod is a 4 piece rod and I don't notice any difference between it and my 4 wt (2 piece) in terms of action as Lambast em noted. (https://www.myfishfinder.com/fishing_forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi6.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fy229%2Fbabamulon%2Fsmileys%2Ffishing.gif&hash=89c329ed463e1f02e49b44bcd17f4928) The 8 wt is an IM 8 and the 4 wt an IM 6. I kinda wish my 13' Float rod was a 4 piece; it's a pain to transport and the risk of breakage increases because of it IMO.

Don't have a truck anymore, I have a Civic and can put the seat down or a CRV and can put the seats down. The other option is in the boat but that makes no sense for river/stream fishing. LOL
-
O NO another hypnotizer ,nice unit really bright :thumbup_smilie:
Mike said he's going for the Vexilar this year. We'll see.

I am very tough on poles and i can not break a loomis,4 piece sucks there is no feel,feel is everything
You know me Dave I am an avid Loomis guy. I can feel bait fish bite my flie. No dought the best noodle rod I have ever owned. :thumbup_smilie:
-
Been thinking of a Marcum, my fl-20 might have to be sold and upgrade, i don't know how to use it anyway, beat you iceman,lol.
-
Nice pics
would have been more pics but didn't want to spend all day reviving fish . Think I spent more time reviving fish than fishing cause it was so hott. I aCtually got a bad sun burn .
-
Look at this New Beauty ...... Vexlar who ? ;D
Stormy - If your looking into a lx-7... I have ALOT of insider info. PM me...
A late report here... Shane summed it up to a T about yesterday. I hit the river solo and did a bit of wandering all morning. Then just hung out with Snag and some of his guests...
Hit mid river at first light. Walked a long way to where I thought less people would be and ended up walking into a solid crowd, oh well... Learned some more of the river. Hit 2 hoho's and a king first thing then that was it till I found a nice spot in the LFZ that some cohos were nosing up into. Played with a bunch of them then just relaxed.
Thanks for the hospitality Snag...
Met up with Gamma, chatted a bit then drove home. Had to stop 6-7 times, get out and walk around to wake up then continue on...
-
anyone fishing a Diamondback Backwater rod?
-
I had to pull over for a quick nap on my last ride home from the river, lol so I know how that goes.
-

You can on eBay Adam!

Quick question, anyone else notice it seems there is a smaller percentage of fish this yr. with Lamprey wounds? Or is it just me?
I've only made it to the river for about an hour this year. Caught 1 male King and it had a lamprey scar. It also had a nice Mag-NK in glo-blue hanging from its mouth. Fish was released, lure kept. ;D
-
Monday report:
A carbon copy of yesterday .... only the people left and like lakerdave said..... the fishin picked up for the guys here too..cleaned more fish than sunday also...great weather and good hook up numbers..really great day...
-
I'm headed up tomorrow afternoon to fish the evening and all day tues with my girlfriend. My goal is to get here on a few fish. I have only fished the river a couple times. I'm hoping for a good trip. It seems like we are timing it about right.
We got to the ballpark at quarter to 5 and headed up stream a bite. Not 10 minutes there and my girlfriend got a small steelhead (her first). Then about 40 min later she had a nice coho on. She battled it for a foot 15 min lol. I wish I got a pic of the look on her face when I got it on then net. It was about an 18lb coho. I'll post pics when I am not on my phone. Tomorrow should be a good day.

Where did ya find that... :whistling: :whistling: ;D
Those guys are downright giddy about that unit with some awesome ideas for the furture. And it has a USB port for upgrades... 8)
We will probably get scolded for going off-topic... ::)

Im with you wiredstone i beat the snot out of rods so about six years ago or more a Loomis rep. talked me into a 10ft GL2 6-10pound and told me i never would want another rod and if i didnt like it to bring it back.I cant put the thing down,it is an absolute animal! I run Maxima 12 ultragreen and i can feel fish like there ringing a doorbell,when Kings are runnin thick and theres tons of people ill even run 14pound T-Line and can pull a 25 pound fish around like its on a dog leash.

I've been reading up on the new Marcum LX7 and it's above and beyond anything out there right now. The battery will last longer by a mile the to the LCD system and the fact that there are no motor spinning. Lowrance has a new ice fishing unit coming out this year too. The Elite 5 . Looks good but like all Lowrance units, they're not user friendly.

well for whats its worth DSR is saying good run of kings came in. hopefully they will stay somewhat together this time so we can track them up to the hatchery better this time

We are getting hammered down here ... A real Gully washer .....

OK, I wanted a Loomis like my steelhead rod but after hours of watching auctions and searches I bought a lightly used St Croix Legend Ultra 9 foot 10 wt. It comes with St. Croix's limited lifetime warranty and the Goldstar program which for $50 you get it replaced or repaired....no questions asked. It is about a $480 dollar rod new, I got it for $127.50. I can't wait to fish it.
-
hell, my St Croix premier has a 1 year warranty, I've fished it about 5 years and it keeps hammering them. This should be a good rod. Plus a little more backbone than my 8 wt.
-
Why do you torture yourself at work !! ;D ;D
I don't know.. I just do...LOL
-
my 9wt pflueger trion fly rod has held up to salmon and steelhead now for 5 years, not bad for a $40 rod...much better than my redington and ross rods, and about 1/5th the price.

Copying Lowrance? LCD, thats it... They took a bunch of thier own technology and put it into one large flat screen unit - superfine-line, showdown, interference reduction, ect. Plus added a pile of new stuff. And a USB port for upgrades. And trust me, some of the stuff they are working on is sick! And battery draw is similar to most units out there.
But... I have been apart of a gazillion "flasher" threads over the years and they all stink. A unit does not catch more fish, the individual behind the trigger does... ;D You try that salsa yet? :blink:

my LMS 522 with a map chip port does all that stuff except that cone angle thing DC. it uses some serious power man..2 batteries a day....last year I got a custom battery for wheelchairs thats works a full day.

Hey Adam I had a friend at the DSR, said it was just OK, doesn't know what the big reports were all about...there was movement, but just average...considering the heat, it was amazing they were moving at all... best king run of the year..no, but atleast they were moving again..
No rain here Stormy...well a 2 minute shower that got the grass wet...that's it .... again we were missed...

It's just not apples to apples. My vex from 92 also does the same thing my lx-3 does. ::) ::) 8)
didnt realize the LMS was that harsh on batteries. I hate dragging around extra batteries, now I just drag around an extra flasher, lol...

They are quite nice. I cant stand the ducer system but they ran into copyright issues. But thats just me, I didnt like vex's float system either. I prefer an adjustable arm. I also dont like the ducer down the hole that far either... 8)

Hey Dc, the only reason I picked up a lowrance when I started ice fishin in 2004 was I couldn't stand the humming noise the other flashers made..but fell in love with the graph mode..split screen and other features it had...

Snag - thats one of the things I always liked about our LX-3 and 5's - they make some noise but hardly any compaired to the vex's. I could hear those things in my sleep after a day on the ice!
The lx-7 is quieter than a fart in a tornado...

I don't need the zoom .... I just need to know they are close and feel the bite... I'll teach ya Jr.... 8)
I have a lx3 and 5 and hardly use the zoom either. I dont like to get tunnel visioned into the bottom. Even with typically bottom oriented fish like perch and eyes - I catch alot of them way up high...
One cool feature of the new lx7 is the Dynamic Depth feature. Basically if your in flasher mode it adjusts itself to set the bottom so your useing the whole dial. IE - your in 11 ft of water in the 20ft scale, normally you would only utilize about half the dial. Now it gets stretched out to the whole dial - which will maximize resolution and target seperation. 8) Someone was thinking...

I was going to try and explain that ... you did much better ..... it seems my "Biter" fish are always the suspended ones. you don't have to jig them off to hit.....
The water table is so high here I have standing water by the garden again ... I am back to cutting the grass twice a week and it is as green as a golf course .... If this pattern keeps up we are going to be butt hole deep in snow this year....

Well if anyone is ionterested in the new Vexilar FL-22 flasher/camera combo this season, you're out of luck . They're already sold out for the 2011 / 2012 season :whistling: :whistling:
Shouldn't you be painting jigs ? ;) ;) :whistling: :whistling:
-
had a friend buy the fl-22 last season, he liked his Marcum better

I'm all set to pull the trigger on a flasher.
I fish shallow 99 % of the time 8 to 30 ft.
I just need a unit that can see fish and my jig.
I'm torn between the Vex FL8SE and the Marcum VX1 PRO
Leaning towards the VX1 because it has the soft pack to contain the unit.
But I may talk my self into the FL18 I like the idea of the split screen is it worth 100 more bones?

Same old same old Snagger it has not changed in 12 years. The run either comes sunday when I am packing up to leave or the weekend before a I am there and the weekend after I am there. Its silly everyone should plan their trips based on when I will be there. If they go the week after I get there or the week after I get there and they will have a great trip.
-
I was up fishing Monday evening and all day Tuesday. That was my first trip during the salmon runs. I am out of town now for work until the 20th of Oct. Will there be any salmon running still? How long do the runs last usually?

Nice job, Scott and the NH guys.

Was just wondering. Your fishing a spot for 3 or 4 hours getting hook ups and maybe have a couple of fish on the stringer. You noticed a guy standing on the bank waiting for a spot or someone to leave so he can fish. What would you do?? Would you be kind and offer your spot for a few or ignore it. Does anyone really ever share there spot to a beginner or rookie??? I know i have given a spot to someone once i had a few under my belt. Is there any kind of salmon river etiquette or is it all for one and one for all??? Looking for your opinion and thoughts
-
Dang, sounds like I missed the good run by two days.... :-\
-
I would skip breakfast lunch and dinner just so they couldn't get my spot

You noticed a guy standing on the bank waiting for a spot or someone to leave so he can fish. What would you do?? Would you be kind and offer your spot for a few or ignore it. Does anyone really ever share there spot to a beginner or rookie??? I know i have given a spot to someone once i had a few under my belt. Is there any kind of salmon river etiquette or is it all for one and one for all??? Looking for your opinion and thoughts
I have waited for an hour or more watching guys that have no idea how to fish a hole until they left. I usually pays off. On the other hand, I don't keep any fish so I rarely leave a good spot, even to chase a fish downstream. I usually fish with 4 or 5 other guys and we rotate amongst ourselves in a good hole. I have also let a newbie or two in to fish and helped them out. I guess it just depends....

thanks BRO , KP is da man arnt he . me just glad he dont listen to stupid noncence ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
-
i usually do. i have a soft spot for kids and women, especially. when the fishing is really hot, the exact spot really isn't that important anyway. i can usually slide a few yards up or down and stay on them. for a newbie, though, there are definitely places where they can hook up easier.-Paul

Dang, sounds like I missed the good run by two days.... :-\

Hey remember the Tuna rod you were talkin about and said to leave home? Well, I won't need to bring that up any longer. Got me a new Wildriver that'll do the job just as good....................I think. But the Avid Float & CP will get a good work out too. I might have to wait til next year though to land me a fresh King seeing I won't be up again til November.

Friends, Romans, Countrymen....Lend me your eggs. I am desperate to get some salmon skein but due to some family health issues I don't know if I will be able get up to fish. Snagger knows I'm looking for some and has graciously offered to hold me some. So, if you're going to his place to get your fish cleaned and don't want the eggs I would be very grateful. I'll make the bonzai run up to his place the next day to pick them up. Thanks.
John

Newbie here with a question. I recently bought a centrepin from a buddy. The reel spins forever but when I used it on the water it wouldn't start up and without me physically starting it spinning the float just comes to shore and no line feeds. My buddy says you always have to help the reel to get started but I don't have to with my Okuma. Should I need to have to "help" get the reel started? Any input is appreciated

People were yelling fish on, coming up , coming down every minute, guys ducking lines stepping over lines, just agreat day. For a newbie it was something to experiance. KC aguy was on ur rock and had afish on every minute. Thanks guys for everything, my yr is done and now its off to Illinois.

You can do a couple things, you should take it apart and clean it. Alot of guys clean alot of the grease that gets packed in new reels out and use sewing machine oils for lubricant
The other thing you can do is use some additional weight and larger floats, some reels have great start up (like the Aerials such as a Bob James) and can/ should be used in frog water with small floats and minimal weights. Others are bears especially in cold weather and need more pull to start up, this pull can be counteracted with additional weight when possible.
Out of curosity what reel is it?

I had the Milner kingfisher on my rod and another buddy had his okuma on his rod. Same set up, weight, float etc.... his peeled off freely and mine didn't at all.
Does that mean mine needs to be repaired? thanks again. This is a used reel by the way.

The trees look awful green in kowboy' pic. Is the change running late. I've seem to remember lots of falling leaves and acorns during the big runs of past years. The 5 lbs of leaves on your line when fighting a mudshark just adds to the challenge, also I like the big leaf fall when I hook those overhead limbs. (acorns hurt)

I posted this in the NH Thread, so excuse some of the explanatory things that you guys all know but those of us back here are unfamilair with...just copy and pasting.

Hey guys,
Salmon Stalker and I went up 2 weeks ago....we caught some fish and went home with some fillets but just missed out on the major Coho run of the season which happened the next 3 days after we left. I was hoping when I got back this week that we would catch some fish and have a better showing. Driving into NY, Banman1960 and our good friend Jay, we hit some rain and thunderstorms and all week long up there they had the proper conditions for the Kings to start running....We decided to fish on the Douglaston Salmon Run property to beat the crowds and to hit some spots that I knew should be productive. We were at the parking lot for the Black Hole at 5am and there was 1 other car in the lot. We walked in the dark through the river about 500 yards to the hole we wanted to hit and waited until it was legal fishing time and light enough for us to see...from about 6:30-8am nothing was happening, then Jay hooked into one and it was his first time ever hooking into one of these beasts and he landed it. From then on it was almost non stop!! We easily hooked over 60 fish and limited out before lunch. We then had to drag 60+pounds of fish all the way back to the lot....apparently word had gotten out that the fish were running cause by then there must of been 200 people in the same area as us just outside of the DSR property line. The pix attached show some of the crowded conditions. We went and had lunch and Jay and Tom had had enough for the day, I went back in the afternoon solo to the same spot which was surprisingly still open and I hooked into about 30 more and landed 5 more Kings and 1 Coho, all caught and released ;-).
We decided that Friday morning we would hit the DSR again, really just to beat the crowded conditions, and we hit them again. It was MUCH slower than Thursday but still great action. We took 4 more home for the day and called it a day around noon to head on back to NH. The biggest of the trip weighed in at 23lbs each and we had 2 of those. The rest were from 15lb-20lb.
Equipment used were 9ft and 10.5ft Steelhead and Salmon Noodle Rods, 15lb main line, 12lb fluro leaders. Used Flies and this sponge material that looks like Brillo Pads for your kitchen. Orange, yellow, and green worked the best, although they were so aggressive when they first came in on Thursday we could of thrown a cigarette butt at them and they would of hit it.
Thursday was the best day of fishing any of us had ever experienced in our lives!! GREAT TRIP!!!!!!
OK Pictures....not gonna post any explanations, just let them speak for themselves.....

I posted this in the NH Thread, so excuse some of the explanatory things that you guys all know but those of us back here are unfamilair with...just copy and pasting.

Hey guys,
Salmon Stalker and I went up 2 weeks ago....we caught some fish and went home with some fillets but just missed out on the major Coho run of the season which happened the next 3 days after we left. I was hoping when I got back this week that we would catch some fish and have a better showing. Driving into NY, Banman1960 and our good friend Jay, we hit some rain and thunderstorms and all week long up there they had the proper conditions for the Kings to start running....We decided to fish on the Douglaston Salmon Run property to beat the crowds and to hit some spots that I knew should be productive. We were at the parking lot for the Black Hole at 5am and there was 1 other car in the lot. We walked in the dark through the river about 500 yards to the hole we wanted to hit and waited until it was legal fishing time and light enough for us to see...from about 6:30-8am nothing was happening, then Jay hooked into one and it was his first time ever hooking into one of these beasts and he landed it. From then on it was almost non stop!! We easily hooked over 60 fish and limited out before lunch. We then had to drag 60+pounds of fish all the way back to the lot....apparently word had gotten out that the fish were running cause by then there must of been 200 people in the same area as us just outside of the DSR property line. The pix attached show some of the crowded conditions. We went and had lunch and Jay and Tom had had enough for the day, I went back in the afternoon solo to the same spot which was surprisingly still open and I hooked into about 30 more and landed 5 more Kings and 1 Coho, all caught and released ;-).
We decided that Friday morning we would hit the DSR again, really just to beat the crowded conditions, and we hit them again. It was MUCH slower than Thursday but still great action. We took 4 more home for the day and called it a day around noon to head on back to NH. The biggest of the trip weighed in at 23lbs each and we had 2 of those. The rest were from 15lb-20lb.
Equipment used were 9ft and 10.5ft Steelhead and Salmon Noodle Rods, 15lb main line, 12lb fluro leaders. Used Flies and this sponge material that looks like Brillo Pads for your kitchen. Orange, yellow, and green worked the best, although they were so aggressive when they first came in on Thursday we could of thrown a cigarette butt at them and they would of hit it.
Thursday was the best day of fishing any of us had ever experienced in our lives!! GREAT TRIP!!!!!!
OK Pictures....not gonna post any explanations, just let them speak for themselves.....

Fishing Report:
Well a big area of rain developed to our east last night, but besides an hours worth this morning, none of it hit our area... Cheated again....The creeks have dropped alot since yesterday...combine that with all the warm weather we had going into this storm and the kings are moving up the river about a day slower than I would have thought due to warm river water temps...... Altmar/Ellis area has been just average, most of Thursday's big push hasn't got up here yet... Heard the middle and lower end are still fishin really good......... As we speak a convergance line has developed over the area and a steady rain has developed in the last 2 hours...hopefully we'll get a good dose to get the River back up a bit..........Much colder today too........48 degrees out right now with steam coming off the much warmer River water... Heard the port's jacked again, so expect a good push tonight for tomorrow in the lower river, plus that older push making it up here tomorrow as well...Everything is looking good....good luck out there guys...

I'm far from an authority, SNAGGER knows more, but basically Barclay owns about a 2 1/2 mile stretch of the property adjacent to both sides of the river (and in court it was determined the river bed itself) from the Port/estuary upstream to just below the Lil Black and he leases the property from there to the Black Hole which is just below the Lower Staircase. The Staircase is also called the Long Bridge pool but is broken up (by locals with names like the lower or elm hole, etc......) to refer to specific areas of the Staircase or Long Bridge pool. The DSR is a reference to the Douglaston Salmon Run and that is the property that is owned by Barclay and he charges a fee to fish it. The fee is $45 per day. It's taken me about 2 years to grab a hold of this myself so don't feel bad. I'm a newbie like you but find much of the history fascinating, interesting and troubling at times. Since lots effect the locals more than I. I hope this helps and I'm sure someone will correct me where I'm wrong.

Am not totally sure the area you are making reference to but think the first area would be the Town Pool..That Skankee Fly and Tackle Shop has.. The woman that owns the place thinks she also owns the river and charges to fish the pool behind her place..What she owns is disputed but basically consists of behind her Shop to about the edge of water..butshe thinks she owns the whole hole and will chase anyone out that"trepasses" on her..Second place would be Douglaston..owned by a Senator and he charges to fish his place also..That would be from the Black Hole on down river almost to Estuary...The Staircase is below the Long Bridge down towards the Black hole..Hope that helps..
-
third place is Salmon Acres - purchased by Indians (not the motel types).
South Side of Clarks Falls area above the Papermill pool.
p.s. - I wouldn't fish the Town Pool if Dawn paid me... a truly despicable stretch of the Salmon River based on my personal preferences.
-
Isn't there like 4 threads going about douglaston....leave this one to salmon river fishing!!!! I'll say this real quick and that's it about this subject... If we had the 4 miles that they now own..the town pool..staircase ...trestle..and all the other waters people are always putting down would be less crowded and there for not so ugly during the height of the run...my 2 cents any way..
-
Good seeing you today Shane!.....Dave too. You just might see Jr. and I again tomorrow afternoon! Go Yankees!!--KP ;D
-
Headed up to the lower end, in the am, anybody fish the dsr today ?
-
hada good day got a king and a coho and the guys with me got 5. lost 5 one do to a guy stepping on my line and snapping it on purpose.... :cursing: :cursing: :cursing: but oh well headin back up in the am. oh and i cleaned 3 females and all the eggs were loose??? isnt it early for that idk
-
Sure ::) More like those 4 pristine miles would look like the rest of the rivers public access spots.
it gets old gamma.
-
Thanks for clearing up some of my questions guys, didnt realize there was aplace on sr that u had to pay to use.

There's a few places. But what can you do about it. If I lived in Pulaski I'd probably get a DSR season pass, I'm not gonna lie. It's a gorgeous section of river.
A lot of the guys who've been around a few years just get fed up with having to rehash the same topics over and over, especially here on MFF. It' always boils down to snagging, ethics, and private property. Every year we dig up those bones and say the same things. It's even worse on some of the other "crazy" sites.
By steelhead season you will find things have calmed down a bit, and the real sportsman come out of the woodwork, and not just people chasing the big fish once a year.

Being a "tourist" I will say I just want to enjoy the river, meet the good people I have met here on this site, and get the most out of my fishing trip as I possibly can. I had been to the River 5 times prior to this past week and had never fished the DSR. I will say for Salmon season, it was worth every penny, I didn't have to deal with the crowds or the drama. I noticed it was pretty busy in the areas just outside of the DSR. I know those of you who live there are used to that and it may not be that big of a deal, but with my limited experience it allowed me to not ****censored word**** off the locals with my newbie techniques, tangles, long runs, etc....For steel head I will not use the DSR, but in the future when i fish for Salmon I will pay the $45 again. I spend a lot more than that in the other local town businesses and I spent more than that just to get my fish cleaned. So living there and knowing what it used to be like and not having to pay I can see the reason for all the angst. I don't agree 1 bit with the politics of it all, but I am a person who will use it in the future. Like I said if I'm there I am going to spend a lot more money in other local businesses....
Good meeting Stormy and Dave, talking with Frank and Adam, and seeing Shane. One more thanks to Marky of Northwoods Outfitters for helping us out. REALLY nice guy and if any of you need a guide, you should try him out.

Looks like the DSR had more problems tonight. This was posted on their Facebook:
"we had another closing of people screaming and yelling at us about being locked in because they decided to leave the parking lot well after 7p.m. i won't even repeat the things that my wife was called tonight. i want to thank George,Chad and Dominick for sticking with us until we got closed up and safely home. Please remember that we close at the stated time for safety reasons because it is our re...sponsibility to be sure all anglers are safely off the river and out of the lot before we close. we do not close and lock the gate to be ignorant , but we have to have some accountability otherwise anglers ignore the closing time and we have to send employees out looking for them. thank you for your understanding in this matter and we look forward to another awesome day of fighting kings on the run tomorrow."

Isn't there a two year waiting list ? and how much is it 3,000 bucks..

I was told something like 450. I could be wrong.

They should through Barclay in jail. He stole the fishing rights to that area. I can't believe any sportsman would fish there.

That would be "garbage"...........the editor for the paper should be told he didn't catch the misspelled word
I have picked up some trash that others left down by the staircase in early September. I don't get the coffee cup issue. You carry it in full.......heavier.........and leave it there.........lighter to carry out. :cookoo: :cookoo: :cursing: :cursing:
I'm full of sheet so defecation is my middle name. :wacko: :wacko: When I'm home it's about 3-4 times/day. When I go camping............ maybe once in 4 days. Guess my body knows when to stop being a sheet head. Glad I've never fished the DSR which is an acronym for Defecate @ the Salmon River. :w00t:

HOW YOU GOING TO PUT ON A CLINIC IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE THE FISH ARE !! ;D

So this place is on the salmon river? and they have rights to the river and sell passes to get in, so its not that crazy fishing there?....How far away is this from buffalo...sounds like something I would like to do..i'm not usto the people when fishing...And I dont want to loose an eye..lol.
I live a bit outside of Rochester and it takes me about 2 hours to get over there.. But i go 104 the whole way and don't jump on the Thruway..That would probably knock a half hour off for me..

Mayor, Your in box is full.

Hey guys, I'm tying up salmon flies tonight for my trip up their this tuesday. What hook do you guys recommend? I'm just giving it a few wraps of estaz. Probaly will tie some big heavy ESL's too.
-
ANyone ever have much luck swing streamers in the SR? I was thinking of tying up a few tube flies tonight...

gotta find enough elbow room to swing em but I've lined a few .

give it a go; they will work better down low for sure this time of year; especially for steel once the crowds thin out and as long as the water temp is 40 or higher in the winter/spring... dont be affraid to swing smaller natural streamers in the upper river as they've been molested a whole lot more...

I use Mustad 94150 in a couple different sizes. These have a 2X shank and you won't straighten them out....

Yeah I was definitely thinking once the crowds taper off. I am out of town for work until the end of the month, hopefully it will thin out a bit by then.
-
Thanks hunterdeneugene. What sizes?
-
2 and 4 depending on how big you want to go. I like the 4's as they are a little smaller and they look good with estaz on them.

Started out below the staircase again Saturday morning and was greeted by waves of kings moving thorough the run, for the second day in a row we had double digit mornings. Finished up at the upper ball park Saturday night and did just as good, so good infact we started out there this morning. Slipped rite into a nice run and hit a few in the first couple minuets...good thing to it started pouring soon after and i didn't bring a rain coat...still soaked from Saturday so i bagged the fishing for the weekend and got the camera out, hid udder the trees for a while to stay dry and got a few good shots before leaving, also got a few from the AOL cleaning station over the weekend. ;D

Fished from 12:30-6:45pm hooked a lot of Salmon landed one puke green female. She was dropping eggs! So maybe we'll have a steelie bite soon... A lot of Bright kings and cohos also. I can only think it was one of the Labor day weekend fish and just got ripe down low.

I hit your fish from 2-6:45pm I was by 81 and it got really good at like 6pm, it was just one right after another. I lost a big Steelie on my float setup too. On a purple eaztaz fly! Have to make up some more. I had my Daugther until 11am I got ready and got up there.
-
Just home from the dsr,landed 9 kings , lost 2 cohos , and 2 steelhead both over ten pounds , and one small brown ,prolly had 50 hook ups, not many,people today and steady fish all day , it was awsome
-
Fished low today. Started out decent then really turned on in the afternoon. Lots of fish pouring in as the day wore on. Tons of kings, big beautiful cohos, and a few steelies. Couldn't ask for a better fishery than we have in Lake Ontario.
Here are a few pics from the cell phone from today. It is going to be hard to concentrate on work tomorrow.

Guys, I need some advice.
Heading to the fly zones this week. Have never fished the SR with float line. Whats the most effective setup for "hooking" up? Any help would be appreciated, feel free to PM me. Thanks in advance.
-
had 100 fish go by me this afternoon. everyone of them saw my line and swam around it. 12lb. maxima with a 8 lb. berkley fluorocarbon leader. any suggestions?

The fresh salmon will continue to come in for another couple weeks, then they linger into early November...Theres some browns kicking around...
-
Thanks snagger. i do remember fishing for salmon once with my stealhead buddy....but there were a few carcasses around so it mightve been late season...only remember because i was nearly struck by lightening crossing a railroad trestle.
-
Did you see any steelies or brown's being caught bazooka?
Nope, i ran skein under a float with my cp. Mostly fed the fallfish. I must have caught 30 of them today. Almost every cast. Moved from dsr to 2a then back up to blackhole.

That does not sound like something he should be doing on the river !! Even if he's good at it !!
-
yes, i was fishing rapids. about 2 ft deep. they saw the line coming every time. maybe they saw the sinkers?
Maxima Chameleon? no good in low water conditions..use Maxima ultra green instead...if your using tin...that sucks too.. too shiny...get some real ones somewhere....I put my split shots on my dash to fade them....

you want real lead....lots of private sellers on Ebay....I got a lot of 400 pieces, 5 different sizes for $12 plus like $6 for shipping....a bag of 75 of the crap Gremlin tin stuff at all seasons cost $23!!!

If they know they're not eating, then why even ask??? They know what's going on!

Entrapment !!!

I believe the right answer is that they hit out of aggression. ;D

soak your lead sinkers in vinegar for a few days to take the shine off.
while we're on the subject, i can't believe how much lead most people are using. it REALLY spooks the fish. my buddy and i found a nice pod of 50 or so Kings in a small run at the ball park on Sunday afternoon. they ATTACKED our wooley buggers. we could see 2 or 3 at a time come off the bottom to engulf them. we were having a blast! well, that lasted about 20 minutes. 2 goons spotted us and attacked them with like 4 to 5 of the very largest split shot you can buy and started ripping. every time the lead hit the water the fish scattered. within 5 minutes of this they were out of there. we were tapping bottom a couple of times per drift with 1 3/0 split shot and the fish were holding there nicely. we hooked over 60 fish between us that day. you just don't need all that weight to fish effectively at these flows. the other downside of using that much weight is the amount of time you spend hung on the bottom and the expense and time lost to re-rigging after a break off.-Paul

Its funny that people think that they dont hit, I landed 9 yesterday that all hit, one actually had the hook all the way down , had to cut the line, I also dont get y people need to snagg , theres soo many fish they swimm into your hook , if you have a line in the water its hard not to get one , I know they dont hit after they been in the river a few days , thats y u need to getem low, I have only been fishing the river a few years and know they hit , I just get a kick when guys that fish the river 25 years try to tell me the dont hit , if you use the right gear the definetly hitt. Yesterday u could watch them chase your bait down, but it was weird they didnt start hitting good till the afternoon , I was not snagging lifting , forcefeeding our what ever u call it, had around 50 hookups, not all legit hookups thou, due to them swimming into the line, I just dont get y people say they dont hitt,

But when you get lucky and land 1 of these you get kinda glad guys feel the need to use so much unnecessary gear...I'm pretty sure my buddy replaced all the tackle he lost this entire season just by sorting through this clump earlier today ;)

what amazes me is how many salmon i have cleaned in 40 years never to have found as mush as one egg in them ! not a single nymph! or a baitfish !!!! yet these guys can present a chunk of sponge so natural they hit it!!!! i know you caused a hit out of aggression!!!! wonder why they don't hit the gobies in oswego or the fall fish in salmon river when there eatting there eggs ????? you guys are my hero's 40 years of trying never had a real hit yet :rotflol: :rotflol: :rotflol: :rotflol: that makes me either the worse fisherman or the most honest one in mff !!!!! ;D

Who here snags anyways???? ::) You would have 200 hookups a day if the fish are running into your line and getting hooked in the mouth!! ALOT of fish in that river right now!! ;) GADAM SALMON SNAGGERS anyway..........--KP 8)
-
it is mostly because you suck you better stick to flinging you fluke off the wall ;D
Salmon hit flukes outta aggression???? ;D--KP 8)

they must really like bare hooks then
Every year when I get into fish thick, I try a bare hook and always end up hooking one deep on the tongue. These fish suck in large amounts of water on thier journey... And before anyone goes there, I know you have to have bait of some sort on. But sometimes it falls off and I sleep well at night... :unsure:

Out of the 2 Million Salmon that come back into the Rivers and streams. I would have to say I only caught one that hit my Bead out of the 150,000 that hit, when they make it back to the River.

a 2 week "Indian Summer" is about to begin, I was just talking about this yesterday with all the guys staying here. Been raining almost every day, creating muddy conditions, like felts dragging mud into my house, mow the lawn every 4 days ect, can't paint or caulk anything... but not enough rain to raise the creeks, what a bummer it's been this summer and fall, just can't win..oh well just roll with it, it's all you can do...
-
I'LL TRADE YA. WITH ALL THE RAIN WE HAVE BEEN GETTING DOWN HERE IN NEPA, PEOPLE WOULD BE CATCHIN FISH IN YOUR BACK YARD AGAIN. THE POOR PEOPLE DOWN HERE ALONG THE SUSQUEHANNA RIVER HAVE BEEN GETTING HAMMERED THIS YEAR.

Crowds are way down from last weekend, went to the bank yesterday and my 2 favorite rollers at the ball park had no body in them, I couldn't believe it, maybe 10 guys above the short bridge and 6 guys fishing the rapids above the high bridge...crowds are still way down today, but that will change soon......... stop by Trap.

hey were you fishing the ball park thursday or friday ???? hooking fish and handing your rod ???? i was at the clamshack pool looking at the tip of the island
-
leaving in the morning, fishing all day tomorrow, squatting on my buddy's cabin and fishing half a day Thur. Come home, pack the other car Thur night, work Fri in Erie and then after work hopping on 90 and headed to our cabin for the next week! Can't wait to fish but I am sure the long weekend will be crowded, but how about the week after Columbus day? Is there typically large crowds then?
-
never a crowd on salmon river during salmon season....
-
I just traditionally go the week before the Columbus day weekend. I never worried about it when I lived up there...

Tied me up some flies tonight in preparation for the next rendevouz. The gang will be at AOL soon but without me. Gillripper1 will do (2) 4 day trips, back to back weeks. Then back up with me in November. An early December trip is being discussed as well.
Tied me some estaz eggs, a blood sucking bunny leach & some blood dot eggs. I'll be working on some more too.

Looks like I missed out on a LOT OF BS last night.. Nice fish Jason! Some are bright too!

Great stretch of weather is just starting this morning...the crowds will begin to build today peaking Sunday, it should look like woodstock this weekend with the great weather...People who got used to slamming steelhead the last 4 or 5 years just after columbus day may have to wait or put more time in this season..335cfs and the Res. is still 10 feet down with no rain in the forecast. That can change quick though, in 2007 we went from 185 to 1800 in a matter of days in mid October...have fun guys, this will probably go down as the year of the coho's!!!

life is good

Tank and I spent most of the day on the river today. What a beutifull day it was! Nice and cool in the morning with some fog then clear, sunny, and not too hot. Plenty of fish around also... 8)
We started low for a few hours and it was slow, real slow. Hit a spot up a bit and there were some fish but nothing to be excited about. Checked out our creek spot and she was empty. Then checked out a spot up higher and found quite a few. We fished there for about 4 hours and one of us was hooked up every 5-10 min. Mostly kings, a couple of cohos, and I had on a dandy of a steelie. Spent a little time at Snags then headed south...

Kid? I guess at your age you can call most people kid... :o :o ;D
Ive had countless "lessons" from him... but honestly salmon jackin aint one of them, everything else was 8). I had about 10 years on the river till Tank decided to give it a whirl and got hooked.
I would sit on the bank all day and rig rods, tail fish, ect, and just watch and "coach" him. I love it when I "recomend" he do something and immediatly hooks up. ;D He does real good though, he didnt like getting outfished 3-4:1 those first few years....
Right back at ya Snag. Today was just a (nearly) perfect day. Wow there was a ton of fish not too far from your place!

Frost tomorrow morning

I stumbled up to the Salmon River for the first time today and was disgusted by the amount of trash and fishing debris. I am not sure if this is the case along the whole river but it was definitely not a good first impression. Litter and vandalism are the primary reason access to fishing and hunting sites are lost. I'm heading back up in the morning with my rod and a garbage bag. Please take the time to pick up some trash the next time you head out. To those who do this already, thank you.
I was also scouting out some hunting areas and couldn't believe all the trash that was being dumped in Wildlife Management Areas. It is absolutely shameful that a few people treat public land that way, and that most others aren't doing something about it.

this is sorta like the lockness monster .....lot of myth involved so you can get a tourist dollar ..... :rotflol:

The way I've always looked at it....it's sort of like the county fair came to town...for 3 weeks, thousands of guys come to the area and after they leave we clean up after them, i picked up a car load monday at ellis cove while i was there, Think any of them do it for spike, i mean on purpose...... it does seem worse in the last couple years. Got thinking about it, If I was an out of towner where would I throw my trash? I know it's no excuse, but when I was a kid there was trash cans everywhere, now none...I know my dumpster mysteriously fills up faster during the season.....up here in Altmar the county prisoners pick up the dec lots regularly......anyway.......First frost of the year out there, steam is heavy on the river and a great red sunrise....Looks like a great day. ;D

The way I've always looked at it....it's sort of like the county fair came to town...for 3 weeks, thousands of guys come to the area and after they leave we clean up after them, i picked up a car load monday at ellis cove while i was there, Think any of them do it for spike, i mean on purpose...... it does seem worse in the last couple years. Got thinking about it, If I was an out of towner where would I throw my trash? I know it's no excuse, but when I was a kid there was trash cans everywhere, now none...I know my dumpster mysteriously fills up faster during the season.....up here in Altmar the county prisoners pick up the dec lots regularly......anyway.......First frost of the year out there, steam is heavy on the river and a great red sunrise....Looks like a great day. ;D
This is 100% true....I couldnt find anywhere to throw my trash....we had a bag full of it and ended up asking one of the local tackle shops if we could use their dumpster. The DEC gets a lot of money in license fees....would be nice for them to throw some trash barrels or a dumpster at each of the parking lots....it would really help with the clean up efforts.
-
sucks when i put my waders on and realize there is a empty pack of smokes and beer cans in the footies. i throw everything in my waders then forget about it til i go to put them on again

The only problem with putting trash barrels out is, who is going to empty them? Simple carry in/ carry out! But thats just too hard for people to grasp. What gets me is the trash you find. I mean how much $**t do people need to carry. The last time I went out I had so much line that I had picked up it was dragging behind me. People prolly thought I was leaving it behind lol.

You have to be a communist to pick up after yourself??

we deal with these same gross,disrespectful, lazy people every day in life why would it be any different when they go fishing? Carry out what you bring is the right thing to do......doesnt mean it works.These people will always be lazy,just triple the fines,add dumpsters, do whatever you can instead of just wishing people who will never have common sense suddenly will

I remember when there were Trash Cans sitting in every Parking lot.. They were full of everything but trash.. have saw them stuffed with Salmon carcass's and all kinds of crap..Watched one guy empty all his Household trash into a can and still had bags to sit around it..Really sad how that area looks this year and yes it does seem to get worse every year!
-
It's not much but every time i go fishing i fill my bag with stuff people left behind. I noticed alot of it is line people pull off a snag. My garbage man does not mind the small amount of extra garbage and im sure if everyone on here did the same it would make a difference it only takes an extra 30 seconds on my way out

Leaving your garbage all over the ground because there is no garbage cans is the most ignorant thing i have heard in a while. You have a pocket or bag to bring it in with you. You have the same pocket or bag to bring it out. Let's not blame lack of garbage cans for your absolute laziness. Unbelievable

WOW A GUY CAN SEE THE FISHING HAS GOTA SUCK UP AND DOWN THE WHOLE RIVER ........ TWO WHOLE PAGES OF GARBAGE COMMENTS.... Hope it rains soon so we all can get back to fishing......
Oh Yeah........ ball park was dead except for a few tired dark piggies trying to sneak through........ running on about 3 cylinders

Not to mention I'm sure there would be guys that would try taking them home with em unless they were bolted down, they seem to have no problem taking anything else that doesn't belong to them :cursing: :cursing:
I picked up a ton of old line as I was leaving yesterday...threw it in a shopping bag and brought it home....went through it all and refilled my gear box with enough hooks, swivels, weights, flies, ect to replace most of what I've lost so far this season ;)

I love it when I catch fish with other peoples trash.
-
Theres really only one solution, when you see someone leave there crap, call em out on it and make em take it .... ..I've done it before..I don't care how you fish, but trash gets old.... great weather boys....get out and enjoy it ...been cleaning quite a few, but not like high water years...... lower end you half to work for them, but sportsman's up is fishin descent!!!!
-
I'll never understand the garbage issues! Maybe people just think "hey, I dont live here"? The staircase area was horrible yesterday. I picked up some but it would take a 4 man crew probably half a day...
I remember the garbage cans around also. But I also remember yahoos putting salmon carcasses in them! Used to see the people from the correctional facility there more often also. It would be nice to see a crew of them out everyday... but it would be even nicer if that wasnt needed...
Snag - I did notice that the ellis area was as clean as i'd ever seen it, thanks...
-

I love "christmas trees" too...1 of the fish I landed yesterday had 7 hooks in it and it was only a mid teens king :o

Good song...........you never hear that on the radio anymore......even the classic rock stations.
-
A Thousand transient people have that effect on a place... It's like an outdoor rock concert... Like i have said before.......... Taking out what you brought in is not enough.... you need to bring out more than you take in.......to keep it clean. END OF STORY...........
I've seen the same thing in the back country backpacking, supposed lovers of the outdoors, backpacking and camping. Lots of trash left out in the deep woods by a bunch of inconsiderate buffoons. I always carried out more than I carried in or burned up paper products by the campfire.
When I come back up I'm bringing a bag to attach to the chest pack to haul out some trash.
-
There pounding them from Ellis cove up ................

well we can all complain ,but it won't make any differance so carry a extra bag or two with you , i been lucky most places i beeb fishing been clean!

Took a 10 minute break from my 16 hour day today and walked up to the bridge... Looked upstream at the fly guys like I always do and what do I see....80% of the guys pegged balsa bobbers on to there tippet.. Being the Salmon are suspended they were trying to get higher in the water column.... It reminded me of the slinky days, now thats not fly fishing..I say be done with it already and just change that zone to catch and release...not a fly zone... Then I can go run my floats for steelies with my CP or noodle rod... They were not casting fluidly, looked awkward just like the chuck and duck days... Get rid of the fly zones already and let us C&R guys in there too.....

They could atleast use a indie

Second morning in a row with a heavy frost, but because it came early this year it aint knocking the leaves off the trees like it normally does. Brilliant sunshine and great temps today......enjoy!!! Good reports from up top yesterday and some steel in town....go get em!!
-
just one note on baseball . this was the best year for baseball since before the strikes years ago ....my hat goes of to the yankees and the red soxs ....this year they both played hard and it was close for a very long time but theres sometimeing most fans are missing here !
baseball in america has always taken the comman mans mind off the problems of the day in the late 20's and early 30's the depression ...in the forties ww2 in the 50's communism and korea ....60's and early 70's cival unrest vietnam and realizing government can also be dishonest ..... we havn't had that since the baseball strike ,maybe america felt betrayed by it's summer heros
this year was different ...when i watched a game or talked baseball or joked with a sox fan ...it made lifes problems go away for a little while .... i can honestly say ..... to the yankees and the red sox and all the teams ,thank you !
fish on!
early frost is correct by about a week ;D

well said trapper

Question about the weather for you pros. With this forecast it certainly doesn't appear water temps will get down anywhere near the lows 50's which triggers the Salmon to loosen up & spawn. I know a few will regardless of temp, the question is will the majority still spawn or wait? If they wait how much trouble are they gonna be in sitting that long in the warm river?

I'm not too sure but I know I did land a king hen on Wednesday that was dropping eggs already. Seemed odd as she was still fairly bright. Also saw a few males landed dropping milt, does seem a bit early to me as compared to years past ???

every salmon ive caught this year was milking and spitting eggs. i thought the same thing that it was a bit early

I remember many years like this where they just spawned in the Lake..You could walk along the beach and see the beds...Really weird weather pattern we are in right now...Although two years ago was real close to being like this..

but i fish everyday ;D

Every year we see the first spawners in late September on beds and it gradually gets to be more and more beds,... with it's peak usually in mid to late October.. Nothing unusual about this year... Some years it's 80 on columbus weekend and some years we get our first lake effect graupel storms... With lows near 30 the last couple nights, the River must be in the mid to upper 50's... I know the hatchery waits for 55 degree water for there egg take, sometimes around now, sometimes a bit later..

I get up there every chance I can. I work on an oil rig in the gulf of mexico, 3 weeks on 3 weeks off. When I'm home I can fish everyday ;D. While I am out here I just hang out on MFF and tie flies. The 20th can't get here soon enough!

U.S. National Weather Service
...Heavy Rain Threat Expected This Weekend Over the Southern Plains and Southeast...
Moderate to Heavy Rainfall will develop from a series of systems that move over the central and southern Plains over the weekend. Rainfall amounts of 1-3 inches per hour will be possible, with totals of 4-8 inches of rain and locally higher amounts over 10 inches possible by Monday morning. This should put a significant dent in the ongoing severe drought over portions of the area, but this amount of rain in a short period of time could also lead to possible flash flooding across northern Texas and Oklahoma. Severe weather will also be possible, with damaging winds and large hail as the main threats.
In the Southeast, moderate to heavy rainfall is expected this weekend from a persistent onshore flow and a developing low pressure system off the Florida coast. Rainfall amounts of 1-2 inches per hour will be possible, with totals of 4-8 inches and locally higher amounts near 10 inches possible by Monday morning. Dangerous surf and boating conditions off the Georgia and Florida coasts will be likely. Rainfall will likely spread further north and inland as this system travels up along the Southeast coast early next week.
The graphic below shows the 5-day precipitation forecast through Wednesday morning, October 12.

Cool job nytrout27. :flag:
Theres nothing unusual about this season, actually everything has worked out like clockwork really...going through a nice "indian summer" right now, then a rainfall will come and another big push will show up, probably with a good chunk of steel this thurs-friday.... that would be my guess, but if the kings stage too long .... you could get a chunk just take off for no reason say Monday...We'll see, been easy to predict them this year I think....
-
have to agree with ya snag according to my journals were right where we should be ..... get some rain and we'll have a big push but i like it just the way it is steady fishing with a few nice surprizes and all fishable water ;D

Anyone know if Brookfield is going to release water this weekend? As of 6pm nothing on the waterline.

It allows me to have a lot of time off, which is why I do it 8) I get to hang out and fish with a bunch of retarded, I mean retired guys during the week when all my buddies that are my age are working.
I wouldn't be sad if everything was running a little late this year. I have my 3 weeks off from Oct 20th to Nov 9th. Hoping for some steel & browns by then.

This is a late report for tues & wed. Fished the lower fly both days. First day got into a few but got there late and didnt get the best posisiton on the pods. The next day it was a bloodbath. Eventually I stopped taking pics unless the fish were soemthing special. Must have landed 20-30 for 100 hookups between us. I was surprised how many I hooked in the mouth! After this trip im convinced the fly rod is the best tool for hooking them. I brought a newbie and probably spoiled him forever. Snagger thanks again. I said I was coming and he told me where I wanted to be, and he was dead on. here's a few pics from the trip, I'll have a cool video for you guys by next week:

It's really crazy over there..Decided to take a ride and watch the Circus this morning and wasn't disappointed a bit..watched as 7 guys all had the same fish hooked and no one was giving ground on it.. Actually hung suspended in mid air for a bit..Oswego is NO better.. Guess i will wait till Mid Week to come fishing again now!!

I've seen worse for this time of year, but yes it's mobbed up like expected, a guy brought a 35.2lber in today, beats the old station 2011 season record of 32.8lbs.. A truelly incredible Chinook, not one hook in it from it's journey upstream, it must have weighed 38 or 39lbs in the lake....

Hey Shane thanks for the fish cleaning today. That 35#er was a real hog. You were right about the lower flyzone being loaded. But we went to the upper flyzone. Walked right in to the upper pool below the boundary line. One guy was fishing the parking lot side and a half dozen or so on the other side. Not at all crowded. Hooked a bunch of fish. Didn't land any though. With all the people around today we didn't have any problems finding uncrowded area's to fish.

Glad you had a good time Kc...This is one of the Best columbus day weekends I can remember as far as weather and good people... low water made the fishin tricky...just needed to walk a bit and look for a key opening, it looks really crowded until you sit back and read the water and see most guys aren't really in the key spots. Most guys here had a banner day of fishing......filet station was absolutely slammed all day....
good times man............ good times!!!! ;D
-
great pics and stories guys, makes it easier as im on my way to the land of giants, illinois, in Dayton Ohio now another 6hrs and im there. Reading the posts is awesome keep them coming as i may see the fishing thru all of your eyes. KC good fishing

QUIT LEAVING YOUR BOWL OF WHEATIES NEXT TO THE URINAL SILLY! THAT'S A DEODORANT CAKE IN THERE NOT A SUGAR CUBE.
From the 21 yr veteran of the river, who attacked me a couple weeks ago for reporting I had a decent day at Ball Park just because you didn't catch anything ::) Now you're blindly attacking everyone? Nah I'm sure you're right though all those guys are spending the weekend doing what you did "Standing there for 7 hours not catching anything". ::)
Snaggers pics must be photoshopped, all those roped fish I saw, I must of been seeing things, cause there's no fish?
If you're that unhappy talking about the river, here's a hint, just be quiet!

-
200 landed, now thats impressive :), im lucky to land 1 out of 10. do you run straight mono or do you use fly line also?
I'd be happy to land 1 outta 10...but due to a bad knee I don't chase them anymore :-\ :-\ Then again I don't eat em so I don't care if I don't land em either
-
DEC got my 70 bucks for a out of state fishing lic...well worth it if you ask me..could claim residensy and pay alot less, but I dont want to give up my Maine Vet plates..a little piece of home for me..lol...
Fished all day yesterday in a few places, not the S.R. but I saw fish everywhere I went,,How can you not have a good time with a pole in your hand...a Bad day fishing is better than a good day at work.

All you need is 30 days in State.. then you can go and get Resident Lic. Just have to a copy of your lease and a couple utilities Bills and you are Golden.. I know because i did it a couple years ago and still had Pa. Plates on my truck

maybe things have changed, but I highly doubt it.
Your LEGAL RESIDENCE is what matters.
For residency purposes - you can only have a legal residence in one state.
I know a PA resident that met the terms you mentioned, used NY Utility Bill to get NY resident license.
Subsequently he was nailed by DEC and Judge gave him a $500 fine.
Choose wisely when checking that little box on the license app.

If one had a copy of the lease and a few bills mailed to that address i would more then think that would be considered a Legal Address..
-
you would be wrong..
The example I provided is from real world,
not interweb legal theory.
believe what you will,
I have no dog in fight, except to prevent someone from acting on incorrect legal advice on a fishing website.
your mileage obviously varies.

I like the way you think!! Oh and the offer to deer to help him onto some fish was also great.
-
honest offer fishglore i'll help anyone , great sport and theres plenty of fish here .... and as far as traffic i had no problem getting threw town and going threw D&D's line to get a coffee within 5 minutes ....
and you can only be a resident of one state ...if that fishing lic doesn't match your driving lic your going to get tickets and now it's a felony
-
Trapper, If no one else is taking you up on your offer, I would love to. I have wanted to learn how to fish for salmon and steelhead for some time now. Let me know.
Bill

Resident License
To qualify for a resident license, one must be domiciled in New York State for more than 30 days immediately preceding date of application for a license. Property ownership in New York State is not a residency criterion.
Residency is that place where a person maintains a fixed, permanent and principal home and to which such person (regardless wherever temporarily located) always intends to return, evidence of which includes that such person votes or is registered to vote in that place in elections for any public office other than school board (if under 18, the residence of parents or legal guardian shall be deemed such person's residence).
Active members of the United States Armed Forces stationed in the State, and full-time college students (citizen) in residence in the State during the school year (proof required) also qualify for resident licenses.
I don't mean to shite in your Wheaties my friend but you are wrong!! This is straight from the DEC site..I have a lease stating where i live utility bills and you are telling me i have no right to obtain a Resident Fishing Lic.. Totally wrong..i have had Wardens check me and NOT once have i received a ticket...Oh by the way still have a Pa.

I have tired for close to a year now to get a NYS Driver's Lic. But i have to have a Copy with raised seal of Birth cert... I have the original from Hospital where i was born with raised seal but Great State of NY won't accept it..Had to send 30 bucks into Pa. for another and now Pa is taking forever to get it back to me..Every other State where i have lived has accepted my Original but not NYS.. Don't ask me why.. As for Voter Registration i also have that from Monroe County Board of Elections..But i applied for that first day i moved up here..Issuing agent has not given me any hassle when i go in to get new lic...

There's been lots of steelies down low for a while . I have only landed 3 but hooked at least ten , lost one around 15 pounds . Biggest I landed was 10 pounds .
-
DSR's twitter today said lots of chrome being caught down low.
-
I know I can claim residensey at any time..ive been in n.y. for over a 30 days and am employed here, have bill's sent to my address here...I just chose not to at the time...my choice.. I dont mind paying the 70 bucks for a lic..at least it's going to a rather good cause...and the amount of fish il eat in the next year will over cover that..I still consider myself an out-of-stater here and always will....just here for 5-6 years... then back to the woods of Maine..
-
Looks like the bumpers are coming in!! Beads or bags? Humm Humm? ;D ;D

Ive got 30 more days to wait until I can get there for Steelies! UGH!!! :cursing: :cursing: :cursing:

Yup when ya move here from another state NY makes it fun ::) If I remember correctly they ask for 6 points worth of ID when switching reg's, and the DL is just as fun. For the 6 points an outa state License is only worth 2, then you can only use 1 of each type. Bill in the mail, Credit card, blah, blah. Felt like I needed a backpack full of proof who I was for the DMV. It would seem since all states save your pic from your ID, they could just look it up, but nah.
-
hey shane just got home now goin to work thanks for the hospitilty buddy see u in 2 weeks for the steel to the FISHERMAN?????? who said there were 7 fish in the river maybe you should stop tippin the glass and do more fishin my gang hooked close to 150 for 5 of us learn to fish and give up handing out reports

They sure do.. I have lived all over the Country and have never had the hassle that i am having in NYS..In every other state you walk in and hand them you Driver's License and walk out with another..Wife had about same trouble but she got her's pretty quick..We have a standing joke now about what will be the problem when we go this time..It's like they really get a kick out of putting you thru the wringer!! I kinda wanted the Enhanced one but think if i get a regular one i will be doing good...
-
griz i feel i should tell you , were making it hard for you to become a res simple because your not a member yet! ok your on double secret probation list and as the senior mff membership for res. of new york chairman i would think you'd be offering fishing spots ,coffee, donuts .... were going to have to keep a eye on you for awhile ....
-
Cool job nytrout27. :flag:
Theres nothing unusual about this season, actually everything has worked out like clockwork really...going through a nice "indian summer" right now, then a rainfall will come and another big push will show up, probably with a good chunk of steel this thurs-friday.... that would be my guess, but if the kings stage too long .... you could get a chunk just take off for no reason say Monday...We'll see, been easy to predict them this year I think....
I had to grab this old quote, it was pretty cool, a great day today at the lower staircase - lower black area with fresh kings and steelhead, 30 hook ups a person from guys here for a half days effort... Haven't been talkin much lately, waters low and don't want to burn my guys spots, but now that the crazy big weekend is over..I can talk a little more , everyone here had a banner weekend on both older run fish and newer ones with some steel/browns mixed in , hopefully I'll be able to take pic's again as it slows down to some sort of normalcy, been a crazy last 6 days....

Heck had i known that i would have invited you over today to fish for Perch off the end of Charlotte Pier..One 5 gallon bucket filled while drinking Coffee..was actually a very good day..Will take the Perch over Moldy Salmon..While fishing there got a tip that the Crappie were going crazy in Fairhaven..Glow Bobbers and Minnows at night...

I just might venture over that way again myself..Rode the Harley over on Saturday just to see the Circus that was in town..Was at Tressle for a bit just to observe and while there some dude totally shoved guy next to him in..Guess he was crowding him..Thought for a bit it was going to be a Knock Down Drag out but just turned into a heated exchange..Gotta love Salmon Season..

-

Thanks again shane for the stay we had a blast man think i got my brother and my buddy hooked on salmon fishing now...take care man...see you in a few weeks for some fall steel.

Wack 'em and stack 'em huh...........sounds primitive. Is that why you're getting rid of the GLX, gonna club 'em instead? LOL
Have a great trip with the gang maybe I'll win some dough in the tourney this weekend.
SNAGGER:- awesome pics, leaves are just starting down here.........2-3 weeks for peak IMO.

I took breaks from fish cleaning a few times and walked around the bridge area, it was crowded bigtime, but saw no argueing to speak of when I was up there, just alot of generally happy people hooking fish...fun weekend!!!! ;D
Well, when I saw ya real quick on Sunday....you looked super busy painting the signage on your property. ;) Looking good by the way Shane. I wanted to stop and hang for a few, but you are a busy man, and I had a train of family members and their children that needed to see the hatchery and Falls.
I did fish for about 45 minutes under the new Pineville bridge, with my brother and good friend , coach. DEC found and beat my brother up verbally for infractions, with a leader over 48" and lifting also. They watched both of us for a good 10 min. before they picked on my brother. These guys walked in together and just leaned against the new abutments of the bridge, staring at us. I knew right away, cause I saw the binoculars, and the way they were talking back and forth, made a couple motions to my bro, that I think DEC is watching us, and I know his technique would probably cause a bit of a stir. Well....he lucked out, because no tickets were issued, part of the reason was, I walked in the middle of the deal and started asking DEC if my setup is correct, etc. I started asking dumb questions also, "What is considered lifting" "Where do you start measuring leader length", " Of course, I knew the answers,, but I got their attention off my bro and on me.

I forgot to add the DEC, mentioned to me the reason why he didn't confront me was because I was using my spin rod with the "fly or pin" casting technique. Where there is only one lift at the end of the drift, and I didn't reel the line in before the next cast, just pulled excess line and used my rod to take the rest for a new cast. He said "if everyone uses that technique, than we wouldn't have to ticket people for lifting"
What's everyone Else's thoughts about that? Has other officers made different interpretations of the law?

Another great day on the River from the guys here, alot of fresh kings with steelhead and coho's mixed on the lower end...Still cleaning limits from up here as well just a great day again.. 8)

Ya, i know the wind is gonna knock allot of the leaves down before i get there. Show me what you mean about the pic's being blurry with the polarizer on this weekend, that should not be happening, I'm thinking your auto setting is dropping your shutter speed to low because of the loss of light, you really need to get away from auto when using the filter
-
saw marks boat last weekend, pretty sharp now. i dont think ill be able to get out for any fall shots at all until next year. i did get a couple the other day while standing on the bridge

That's because the cast acts as the "Lift", however you're just casting. The guys I saw this yr getting the biz from the ECO's were lifting more than once per drift & extremely exaggerated. One day at BP I thought ohhh boy, there was a crowd fishing like they were stnading on the bridge in the port, eco was there, didn't say anything. The law is so subjective
-
That's the reason why I made that comment Bcons. I was hoping amatuer anglers would understand that technique. Also wanting to explain it correctly...All the experienced guys know the deal. ;)

I see once again they've backed off on rain totals....can't seem to catch a break up there:

I didn't even bother talking about this storm, it looked disorganised right from the get go when it was still in Florida. I had a feeling it wouldn't pan out, but like they say, it aint over til it's over...I noticed a few showers pop over us earlier which tells me we don't have a east wind shadow off the tug and the air is saturated already, so you never know..
Hey Rob the trees are even better today, leaves are holding strong......speaking of leaves, the River's choked with them, as a kid we I always gauged the last big push of kings to these big leaf days, I can remember giant hook up days down low when you either hooked a leaf or a fish, should be a good amount moving now.. Walked up to the bridge and that pod of 600 kings that's been sitting off Don's rocks for the last 2-3 weeks has dissapeared, water must have hit the right temp last night, full force spawning going on now I bet....gravel must be loaded now...Yesterdays kings and steel push are on the move, staircase was slow this morning I was told by guys here, there headin up as we speak.....Got guys trying to cut them off mid river.....

The way they have the laws structured, it's very open ended to say the least , I was just talking to an en con about the laws an hour ago, they are just doing there job, I just wish they would concentrate there efforts on poaching .... litterbugs ect ... not a leader 4 inches too big or too hard a tug...my 2 cents...

yeah I mean come on. My split shot have slid many times. I have tape on my rod now so I know where 4is ft is a been on there for a few years now. Since my split shot to the eye ordeal I've switched to a sink tip fly line which is kinda nice o can fish slower water than I could before. More people even say hi to me
-
Guys,
Does your line HAVE to have a leader? Can you just run some split shot 3feet up on your main line and have your lure? Or does it have to be mainline, tag with split shot, swivel, leader, hook?
-
state is stupid all this over a fish that will die in a week , that has a empty stomach and a fishery depending on a hatchery anyways ???? but it's ok .... poachers can be shooting deer knowing most the e cons will be in salmon rivers .... i have come up with a better way!!!! truth this is all a matter of money ...you can't tell people for 30 years the salmon doesn't hit then switch and say he does , truth is 99% of fisherman KNOW ... so my idea is ...instead of the state depending on fines (which unlike lic fees go in the general fund) why not have a state of new york salmon pass!!!! charge everyone 20 bucks a year and leave everyone alone ...it will benifit the state ! and it will relieve the cost of dec patrols on the river ...they can be used to actually protect something worth protecting! this will leave extra money thats wasted watching salmon fisherman .... i know i steped on the toes of a purist , but sometimes common sence is a better approch then emotionalism.... just my opinion .... i will sleep so much better knowing adamms split shot is no further then 4 foot ::)

Well I had my annual lead law debate I have every year with my local en con today , I don't and have never agreed with the no lead above 4 feet rule, it's total nonsense in my opinion, When the waters low, clear or the fish are line shy, A man should have the freedom to place his weight where ever he feels fit...period. More fish would be hooked legal and most guys would learn how to drift correctly if this law was not in place. I don't care about the lining vs biting debate, fish would be hooked legal and everyone would be happy...end of story...it's rediculus that people are forced to use use short leaders and foul hook fish in the bigger runs...
-
Just needed to post up and thank Trapper for helping a rookie get into some fish today. Between him and everyone else on the stream they were all focused on helping me out, concerned with my success, not theirs. I was the lucky one today getting to meet and spend some time with a quality fisherman and person. Thanks again Trapper. Now, I just need to learn the correct techniques to catch some steelhead. Hopefully you will give me a call again and give me some tips. Also, the guy who didn't take you up on your offer the other day really blew it.
Thanks
Bill

hey trap, think the poachers are shooting deer out of necessity to feed their family or for sport ? same goes for salmon.
folks I know fish for salmon, I mean "fish" for them as sport not so much necessity for food. Also know folks who "harvest" venison to feed their family and not for sport. To me they are not the same and my license fees are better spent watching the folks who do it for so called sport.. just sayin..
-
Guys,
Does your line HAVE to have a leader? Can you just run some split shot 3feet up on your main line and have your lure? Or does it have to be mainline, tag with split shot, swivel, leader, hook?
On my mono setup I always ran 12 -15 lb test mainline straight to the hook and put split shot on it. Some say you have to have a break in the line but I can't see where it says it. I've never got a ticket and have been checked a few times a few yrs back
-
Thanks Adam.
-
Only at the DSR do you have to fish with a swivel .
-
Snagger,
Would it be worth a suicide run. I was thinking of leaving jersey saturday morning around 2am and getting to the river around 6am then fish all day and leave at 7 saturday night or so. Do you think its worth it.

if you know the river then yes. Steel is started to show up on numbers and guys fishing the lake are getting them off the mouth. But that could of been the steel that came in the river this morning

Had guys at staircase...lower black that said it was silly...compactors was great and I snuck down to ellis for 20 minutes...silly...fish everywhere, by saturday the lower end might slow up, but not up top, lots of steel today....lots!!!! It hasn't been this good on this week in a long time....Well you know..for the guys who know whats what and where to fish... night and day compared to last week...
-
I fished down low yesterday and today. Both days were great but today was crazy. Tons of Kings and tons of Steelhead. Big Steelhead too. I saw Browns, Atlantics, Cohos, Kings and Steelhead caught all out of the same small run.
Lots of fish everywhere. This is a great week to use sick days.
Shiny one from today

Well I think I am gonna take the trip saturday for the day. 8 hours of driving for 12 hours of fishing lol. Maybe one day I will learn how to do it up there snagger lol
-
It's now or never, they are gonna start dying off soon.
I heard straight from the boat that was just off the lake both saturday and sunday night that there is a good amount of kings just outside the walls and all the way down to selkirk. Most fish are darkening up, but every 3rd fish or so was still pretty bright or just starting to change.

Hey Jersey dave jiggawhopper and his girlfriend Jamie hooked over 100 today,, a 15lb+ steelie too boot one of over a dozen landed. :w00t: :clapping: :flag:
-
Yea he sent me some pics of the steelie hot chrome. He said Jamie hit 40 on her own today. What a great day for her she is really coming along. She is learning just needs to get the mouth hook down now and she will be dangerous

What are friends for..... ;D If it makes you feel any better I'm stuck cutting fish missing all the action too, by halloween when I'm done, all I'll have to fish for is everybodies scraps!!! :'( :'( :'( >:(
-
I think I am gonna try to see if I can get paid tomorrow and take friday off and get up there for 2 days instead of just one. Not sure if my boss will pay me early though because he will know that I am calling out friday then lol. I could use the money though want to get squared away with you and also need a new season license I have made more trips this year then I have in the past 2 years got to get back to the old days 10 to 20 trips a year lol

They didn't just take down a picture of a Mole.... Really ?

I couldn't agree more Snag. My brother fishes with straight mono, with no leader, his weights kept slipping up (so he said), cause he forgot his pliers. When the ECO measured from his top weight he was around 56"........quite a bit over length, plus he was reeling in and lifting a couple times before his next cast. He very easily could have gotten a well deserved ticket. They were good to him, and spent time with him, explaining what they want to see......and they mentioned to him as a local, he should be setting a good example for everyone else.

Straight line is ok......they look at your top weight for the 48" law when ya run straight line...........right from the eco's mouth last sunday.

Had one netting my fish friday at oswego.
-
I've never had a problem with an ECO actualy they've been more helpfull then not just always get asked for my liscens at wierd times like june in oswego or oct in caughnoy. Asked the one in caughnoy why he wasn't in oswego or pulaski said he was on his way there :rotflol: oh and last dec in phoenix perch fishing didnt even see or hear him walk up behind me in the snow he asked for my bait reciept and i bout jumped in the river. but never had a problem with them in oswego. Never netted a fish for me though ;)

looks like Saturday will bring out a nice leaf hatch!
"As that upper trough slides to our east for the upcoming weekend, cooler and more seasonable air will settle in over central New York. While the cool down in and of itself would be a weather news maker, we’re getting indication that strong winds will likely be the big story Saturday. The big pressure difference between a strong area of low pressure over the Great Lakes and a strong area of dry high pressure over the Midwest should place us in a good position to experience strong westerly winds Saturday. Preliminarily, wind gusts of 40-50 mph are possible, which could be enough for some power outages. We’ll certainly have more on this as Saturday approaches."
-
But Saturday is opening day of bow for us :-[
-
I forgot my password haha and finally had to get in on the action its been a longgg time since I have logged in here, how has the fishing been I haven't been able to get up yet this fall I was in Pulaski in April and had a great trip with the fly rod my 2nd time out I landed 4 steelies (not bad for me)... Headinig out to the western part of the state in November for some browns I have yet to catch any pigs.

To me they are not the same and my license fees are better spent watching the folks who do it for so called sport.. just sayin..
ripple theres a big differance a man can legally shoot 5 deer in the state of new york before getting extra tags or having a permit signed over! these salmon are dead and sorry the only "sport" is making it look like the fish hit ... it's crazy and foolish .... and it's all about money ... so heres 20 bucks leave us alone ...go stop real crime .... my opinion .... however as always my opinion is 100% correct :laugh:
and just so you are on the same sheet of music i am a honest flyfisherman ,i wouldn't eat a chinook salmon if you paid me ,and my idea of sport is the enjoyment i get from helping others have fun and laughing with my friends ,i just happen to be honest ....

hey keep an eye on that upper level low over western Kentucky, if we get some sun tomorrow before it passes by, maybe we could ignite some thunderstorms, we got about a third of an inch of rain last night....not enough to do anything, but got the ground ready for tomorrows posible heavy rains...could get interesting around here!!!
-
sounds like I should take friday off and get up there asap then snagger. You think its gonna be that good friday and saturday?? Jiggawhopper just called me said he went 3 for 6 on steelies this am already with a 14 pound male and Jamie went 1 for 3 on them as well

rain or no rain, the salmon half to come at this point, you know steelhead run in pockets, so a bonanza is always just around the next bend this time of year. ;)

At my office now working on trying to get my boss to pay me a day early. If he does you will see me tomorrow. Cross your fingers for me MFF gang lol

how long do the salmon typically run till?

how long do the salmon typically run till?
The last of the new fish usually stop coming in around this week, i mean big numbers, then you fish up river for them til the end of the month on average...coho's can be had right into winter...
-
Thats awesome that you can still get into the cohos up into the winter, never hooked into either a king or a coho. I also have only been in the fall once before mostly hit the winter/spring for the steelies. The crowds are just so thick up there during this time of yr.... In Novemeber ill be in the Western part of the state for browns (even though I dont need to go that far there are plenty in the SR) any one getting any nice browns up there yet? I am definately getting an 8 or 9 wt for next fall tho for the salmon run

Your opinion is usually right on Trap. I miss ripping the big holes up there, it was a blast and I let everything go. Now it's illegal and the fish are left for "sporty folks". What a waste. Hope those black, white tipped fin, crazy egg covered mud sharks are biting good. I hear they really put the feed on before they sink to the bottom and die.

ps poaching deer rip cause yer poor is no excuse i grew up dirt poor ...if yer that bad off call me i'll buy someone grocerys ..... and every church has a food pantry if ya need i can pm the nights and locations

ripple theres a big differance a man can legally shoot 5 deer in the state of new york before getting extra tags or having a permit signed over! these salmon are dead and sorry the only "sport" is making it look like the fish hit ... it's crazy and foolish .... and it's all about money ... so heres 20 bucks leave us alone ...go stop real crime .... my opinion .... however as always my opinion is 100% correct :laugh:
and just so you are on the same sheet of music i am a honest flyfisherman ,i wouldn't eat a chinook salmon if you paid me ,and my idea of sport is the enjoyment i get from helping others have fun and laughing with my friends ,i just happen to be honest ....
trap no biggie but just for the record you can only legally kill 3 deer before an extra doe tag. Of those 3/ 2 are special reg tags meaning an extra license of bow or muzzle is required.. The only true deer tag is a regular season Buck only tag.. True one can pay the $81.00 ( hunting only including doe lottery) for the "chance" to harvest that amount of game but in these economic hardships some folks are looking to feed their family year round and not during sport season, horns do not matter , food does.. I do understand that and accept that fact more so then just having a tug on my line.
all good man , just asking why one may see it differently
P.S.
yes there are folks that poor and yes my grandfather grew up in the depression era where venison would feed the community before better times. Just saying I see it happening now as then..
-
hunters for hunger? plenty of vension drop off points. with all the welfares programs going nobody needs to poach deer thats bs. someone those people live better than me

Hey C&R look at the rain breaking out well ahead of the storm around harisburg Pa. a good sign..... looks like some rain tonight too...east winds, leaves in the River then the big cold front tomorrow night, good fishin will continue for sometime too come!!!!

it's a smoking year snagger!
-
Save up $135 and get a non resident NJ bow tag we are allowed unlimited deer a day. They are like geese down here a hundred in a field at night. You can shoot all the does a day you can carry.
-
Really ? is there alot of public access , i mean in the southern zone here at least 25% of the hunters on public land are from Jersey .... you wouldnt think they would have to drive so far . course you did say bow im guessin lots of bow only places ?
-
there is a ton of public land and management land that you just go online and file for a permit to go in. They are mostly free or $10 for access. Most jersey guys go out of state for bigger bucks. But as far as numbers you cant beat jersey. If you want to fill a freezer fast come here. I hunted 2 times this year first time out missed one doe shot 2 others was out of arrows and 6 more walked right by me and bedded down. Sometimes I even bring guys down on the farms I hunt for a weekend to get some frezer meat.
-
thats awesome wish thats how it was in NH its like watching paint dry this will be my 5th hunting season and I have yet to even shoot at one
-
my second time out I passed up 2 6 points no does were close enough
-
A couple shots from today

must be nice to have the option to pass haha I have a 6 and a fork horn on my trail cam but they are coming in real late.. keep your fingers crossed for me nuts I need all the luck I can get
-
Yea we try not to kill anything less than a nice 8 but I have not shot a buck in a few years for lack of seeing a nice one but there are tons of small ones. I got videos of 5 or 6 bucks at a time within 30 yards just walking around us. We pass alll the bucks and shoot the does since there is no limit. But if you get all the tags in jersey you can leagally kill 7 bucks as well as unlimited does we just choose not to cant eat bone ya know
-

Took three nice does in NJ in Sept. a buddy took a nice nine and another a nice 8. Time for NY this Saturday! Want to get one of the two 8's I'm chasing and two or three does down quickly so I can head up for some steel with my buddy. Shane won't rent me a room unless I bring the pasta with my homemade gravy with loose hot italian venison sausage. ;D
-
on a side note you can actually leagally take 7 deer in NY if you get the right tags and have a supersportsman.
Bow/muzzle- 1 either sex 2 doe
gun 3 buck
DMP two doe tags (if your area has them) 4-5
DMP you can inherit two doe tags 6-7.

actually your wrong you can get unlimited doe permits on long island and i believe westchester county....but i don't see where you can take 3 bucks on your lic! and you also forgot the second dmp handout so if i'm not mistaken you get ... your licence tag ...1 buck 2 doe permits 2 primative hunting total total 5 then you can get the second round of dmp's plus unlimited tags in westchester ans long island ... bottom line ...theres no reason to jack a deer

you are very wrong and I'm looking at my super sportsman tags as I type. Tags as follows in order:
1.bear
2.spring turkey#1
3.spring turkey#2
4.Reg season deer (buck only)
5.Bow/MZ either sex
6.Bow/MZ anterless only
7.Fall turkey-statewide
8.Fall Turkey 2-Bird area
DMP-1 preference point, no second DMP available in area
so my numbers only add up to 3 allowable deer harvest. If one is lucky to fill all 3 tags then $98.00 worth of big game. Obviously that 98.00 includes the other sports.
all I'm saying is folks are providing for their family and not sport hunting . There are deer hit by a car at least 1 per week (my family has hit 11 in the past 10 years) within 3 miles from my home and no shortage thats for sure.. If there was then DMP permits would not be available any longer. I have no problem with what they are doing, it's not sport and they don't harvest horns..

Maybe you guys should start a deer hunint/shooting post. Before the mods get mad and close this great post down.

Nah, we wouldn't shut this great post down....might have to delete a few things but never shut it down....its too imformative and entertaining ;D
-
again
1 deer on your lic tag usually a buck unless you use that tag in westchester or long island then you may fill it with your bow !
2 deer primative as long as you have both tags issued
2 doe permits
2 permits can be signed over
nov second dmv permit give away
westchester county and suffock county (long island) unlimited permits on deer
again there is no reason to jack a deer is new york .... salmon ...i never seen a illegal hook up
-
fish on trapp ;D
-
fillet i forgot to mention the deer on last years lic from sept 27 to oct 1 up north with a bow but rip is still on 3 deer and wondering about people starving in new york ...... guess i'll go get some more salmon while there biting

Trap, I've been on the salmon river many times. I've watched some of you local boys....actually got some tips from a couple of locals while I was steelheading in march once. I believe you guys could hook a salmon in the mouth with a saftey pin tied to a piece of thread. ;D

roy only when there biting!

I guess I am "naive" for lack of a better word. That might be why the last day I fished I went home with a sore back and zero fish landed. I had two on all day.

The guys are right, it is a fishing thread so my last words.. Trap you are 100% wrong. 3 deer are your legal issued tags and that is based on having a bow or muzzle license.. You are assuming that you hit the lottery on the DMP ( I did not) and you are assuming there is a 2 permit for the area, there are not in many areas and NONE in the ADK's. As for the last years license, that only can be used if you did not already harvest your 1 and only allowed Buck in the Northern zone..
Do you really think folks that cant afford the high cost of groceries and gas are going to leave their yard and travel to the "city" to hunt with steaks walking through the front door ? I think not. The herds are stronger then ever with the economy and job market at it's lowest point.. Those who can support their family but "jack" deer I have no respect. Those who need to feed their family by means of nature I do. We see things different and thats ok, you & I hunt, fish for sport . I do so within fair chase , only harvest what I intend to consume and am fine with being beat by the game because salmon do strike.
Sorry folks for putting you through that..
-
So ...I lost my fly box full of flies ... hooked a fish ....popped off lead comes back and breaks the tip off my Sage .... But I had a hell of a day ....After the morning ...I worked for every fish in the afternoon ... landed my first steelie ....

Sounds like a heck of a morning. Those are the ones you remember tho. Congrats on the steel!!!
Dr. Love???

wrong again rip and either you are not reading or just not paying attention i SAID IT IS POSSIABLE TO KILL OVER 5 DEER IN NEW YOUk LEGAL !!! and you started whining about poor people and some other non sence ... state wide rip you can hunt deer in new york from sept 27 till jan 31 you can get unlimited permits ! in westchester and soffock countys .
you can get a lic one tag usually used as a buck tag
you can get 2 doe permits!
you can get 2 primitive hunting tags
you can get the nov second chance dmp's 2
you can be given 2 dmp's
then the unlimited dmp's in westchester and soffock countys .... this is pretty eas stuff you do know how to use google and the DEC web site right?
ps i'm poor too instead of jacking deer can i rob a bank????
and rip i have never heard of a family starving todeath in new york state .... that excuse is pretty old .... and no one buys it
-
stormy you need flys for the morning pm me man i'll hook ya up but you'll be buying coffee ;D
-
I legally take about 15 deer a year ;D but my tags allow 5 and i have unlimited access to nuisance doe tags. I donate about 10/yr
-
Enough about the frigging deer already .....

I skipped out of work today and fished up high. Lots of salmon (and people) around up top. Walked a lot and fished a bunch of spots. The annual leaf hatch has begun and I sure it'll get worse after the wind predicted for Sat. There are salmon all over. I also saw quite a few nice steelies get caught. I think it's going to be another banner winter for them. I managed to get this one. All in all- a great way to spend the day.

Amen.....this argument happens every year. Sorry ripple, but I am on the same boat as Trap. Most of these rules are all about revenue man.
-
on a side note you can actually leagally take 7 deer in NY if you get the right tags and have a supersportsman.
Bow/muzzle- 1 either sex 2 doe
gun 3 buck
DMP two doe tags (if your area has them) 4-5
DMP you can inherit two doe tags 6-7.
I was gonna mention that, but not wanting to stir the pot. I am the epitmy of that hunter this year, as I had 2 left over DMP's from last year which were still valid for the first few days of this hunting season, plus the bow and muzzle tags that were unused.

Anybody wanna take a boat ride Sunday?? My Wife has bugged me for years to take her along fishing as she loves to do so.. So to make a long story short i booked a Drift Boat for this coming Sunday..After seeing for herself all the people last weekend and the upcoming forecast she has changed her mind and now does not even want to talk about it..So there is now a empty seat and unless someone wants to come along guess i am coming down by myself..The only reason i booked on Sunday was because it was on her day off..So if any one is interested shoot me a PM..

DD make him some peanut butter treats. My daughter & wife make em for mine he eats those things over steak, he actually howls & barks for them while looking almost rabid covered in drool. They're real easy, like making cookies without the sugar.
My daughter found the recipe I think this is it, then shes adds a little honey. I was skeptical at first until I saw him go nuts.

Well the sun came out today and just like I thought yesterday morning , thunderstorms are exploding all over the state...Finally going to get some rain for the Res. and creeks. I wonder where the lake bands will set up tomorrow? With a true west wind, or slightly southwest.. maybe a little north of here, which would dump on the part of tug hill that drains to the Res.

one of my highlights was stepping into a riffle I had been fishing all week on Thur and on my 3rd drift hooked up with this fresh chrome. The guys sitting on the bank drinking beers and BSing must have been kinda pizzed.....They were cool though.

On a side note if anyone found a Sony Cybershot, greyish silver, black case and extra rechargeable batteries my brother in law is in the dog house. It would be below Ellis cove, above the Trestle and maybe alont the road below Snaggers place. I can pm pics of his ugly mug if found.
My nicest coho....I love these things....

Great pics guys and really good reading all of your posts, after i get in from scouting. Sorry im missing all the fishing but i did jump a 170i or better inch buck today while scouting some ridges on the farm. Ive seen about 20 bucks so far since being here, but it doesnt compare to some of the pics of the great fish. Keep them post going. Snagger got your pm will b sending you out some things.

It tends to be jammed with driftboats and people in Altmar til around noon,
then the afternoons are much lighter...been fresh salmon running all week, no problem with fish.
...leaves and other anglers are what we plan around,
I send everyone low and tell them to hit the upper river in the afternoon.
Big lake rains last night just north..North Sandy crested at 1600cfs,
looks like the lake bands are re-organising again, could rain heavilly here a little later.

-
What are the daily limits for salmon and trout in the river for quantity and length?
your allowed to keep 3 fish a day in combination (ex) 1 king one brown on steelhead, or 2 kings and a brown. or 3 kings or 3 browns, 2 browns and a steelhead, but no matter what your only allowed 1 steelhead and it has to be 21 inches or more. and kings have to be 15 inches haha, browns i belive anysize but i could be wrong
-
Hey guys im a newbie, what generally is the most effective technique for steel+ Browns on the river? Who will fair better a veteran floatfisher, bottom bouncer or flyguy?
Everyone has there day..depends on water temp and water level usually, right now bottom bouncers are smashing them and floats are still slow..months like November, a floatfisher will hook the most....in January, a bottom bouncer is deadly...march too. Feb. and april goes back to the bobber boys and so on!!!

Nice fall shots!!! Thats a nice brown too!
I have seen a few pics of fish with their backs what looks like to be broke? Definitely crooked. Do you think they may be "throwing" their backs out fighting, jumping and thrashing? Some do some violent thrashing when they come out of the water. Just wondering...

Lake effect rains pounded the area last night, north Sandy crested at 2000cfs this morning after hitting 1600 yesterday morning.. The Redfield Res. is gaining ground quick now. Could be full by the end of the week if these lake rains continue.
Now that the season is winding down and I can reflect on this salmon season. I would have to say it ranks up there as one of the best for numbers and many larger fish in the latter half of the run.. Coho's were off the hook, might be the best coho season I've ever seen.... So much for the dooms day predictions from the 2007 drought year, this was a long and healthy season that aint close to being over......

I've seen it all my life, it must happen to them when there young..at the Hatchery maybe? .Ever here charters use the word shakers, small salmon on spoons probably get injured from time to time..cormorants escapes too ect.....just guessing, probably something in those lines.

the monster chromer I got in the pic . Came right up on shore like a bullet and cashed into the only rock around me . Right at the waters edge . If it didn't hit the rock it would have been ten feet in the woods . It was wild . It still took about 20 min to land and took me down stream like 300 yards . And to the other side of the river.

Fished below the staircase for a few hours this morning with some friends from NJ, everyone had good action with coho's and fresh steel, we also hooked into a few kings that were getting in the way now and then. This weekend just might be my all time best weekend of a 16 year carear on the river, if you were doing the rite thing this weekend you went home a happy camper unbelievable three days of action :w00t: Got a few more pic's from the weekend for ya.

MURRAY!!! :w00t: Great shots Rob. I am missing all the action. Work sucks, but I have to take when I can. Nov can't come quick enough.

Great pictures!!!

6th pic down....looks like he gave you a work out!

Gilrippers were on fire today Bob..
Lower black is every cast right now in the rollers for salmon..heard the bobber guys are hitting steelhead almost every cast in the cliff hole, it just aint fair..I used to love that hole before DSR stole it...Another major last hour push...
Thanks to MFF and you I get to stay tuned!!

When you going? Nov. 11-13th? LV nice pics as usual! :clapping:

gonna be heading up in november with fishgalore. was woundering what is a good rod length for float fishing/ bottom bouncing
For floating Mark, minimum 11'- 11'6", you know mine is 13' but it takes some getting used to for sure. I got away with adapting my 10' spin cast noodle rod to float last year but the farther the line is from you the harder to keep the line off the water and the less natural float you get. But that doesn't mean you won't get bites that way.
Bouncing is different......you probably don't want to be less than 9', but my new Wild River is 8'6".........mostly to protect the line but I plan on using heavier line with that rod so I'm not as concerned about protecting the line. I bought a new reel to handle the bigger line. :w00t: Them King Salmon better beware the next time I'm up there with that set up. :flex: :flex:
So it really depends on what you are fishing for and the amount of challenge you want. Do you mind losing most, if not all Kings you hook? Then go with a longer rod and smaller reel that can even handle 12lb line. Cause when those boys are fresh 12 lb is no cake walk especially in fast moving water. For Steelies a 10' rod with 8 lb is about right and since you are pretty good at this that'll do fine.
-
When you going? Nov. 11-13th? LV nice pics as usual! :clapping:
We will be at the OAK on the 16th and 17th. Then over to Altmar and Onieda. I have a new 12' casting rod for floating beads this year. ;D

Unbelievable pics guys and great reading tonight. Still pretty green here in Illinois and warm, hopefully will b getting colder in afew weeks, keep them posts coming.

Just got out of the fillet station at 945pm...unbelievable...hope we hold up...it's been a rough stretch.

Lake effect rains pounded the area last night, north Sandy crested at 2000cfs this morning after hitting 1600 yesterday morning.. The Redfield Res. is gaining ground quick now. Could be full by the end of the week if these lake rains continue.
Now that the season is winding down and I can reflect on this salmon season. I would have to say it ranks up there as one of the best for numbers and many larger fish in the latter half of the run.. Coho's were off the hook, might be the best coho season I've ever seen.... So much for the dooms day predictions from the 2007 drought year, this was a long and healthy season that aint close to being over......

hey shane; whats your opinion on the amount of fish this year being that it was in question from the drought of 2007??? i remeber looking off the altmar bridge that year and seeing 100's of natural spawning cohoes; both the lfz and the ufz were closed for atleas ta month that season... i thinki it was in to november...now i noticed many wild fish this season especially earlier on with a full adipose fin... do you think this can be attributed to all of the natural spawning that went on above th rt. 52 bridge while the fly zones were closed??? what do ya think???
-

This has to be the worst return ever! lol I am seeing no change at all. If you know what I mean HEHE. ;)

Being that this River is so much larger in comparison to that small area I won't speculate on how that could have contributed to the overall health of a fishery 4 years later.. If anyone really remembers the hatcheries other problem back then , it was water temp, this River was still 69 degrees on October 14th and stayed above viability well into very late October, They had to run out to 18 mile creek I think in early November, because alot of salmon parished here from warm weather and not many were left in early November when the water finally reached an exceptable level to use them for the spawn....This is a diverse ecosystem from hatchery/river to lake and back to river, plus weather...I'm sure the biologists kept notes on what and why things are the way they are. But it has been a record year for returns, that for sure, maybe better than 1998, definetly better on the coho end. All the fish cleaners I know are wore out, best year ever since the snagging days.

been doing 14-16hr shifts every day, just slowed this morning enough to get on the computer. Wish I was doing something easy like mason tending, this fish cleaning will kill you..is it over yet?

looks like you guys are hammering them up there, real nice pics

Snagger.. Thanks for making quick work of my fish yesterday!! Glad i was able to ad to your work load..Look forward to stopping around sometime when you are less busy and shooting the breeze about the "Old Days"...

Honestly yesterday ranks right up there in the top 5 percent of fishing up there.. Chris is one heck of a guy!! And to talk with him about the Old days was great.. He knew a lot of the Old Boys i used to know and even mentioned names i had not heard in years..I enjoy fishing with someone who has years on the River as opposed to somebody who has a few years and knows everything..With them i just keep shut and think in my head if you only had a clue..Only down side to yesterday is Chris has me thinking hard about a Pin Set Up....

What does everyone think about 3 piece rods. I only ever bought 2 or one piece rods

Had a great weekend. Fished the compactor pool as well as the paper mill. A good amount of fish moving all weekend. Good to see you again Snagger. I will be back up in a couple of weeks. Hopefully we can get Schmitty and hook up.

I was skeptical at first but I have a 3 piece 11' that I love and have never had a problem with
-
I know little about the dynamics of 2 piece vs. 3 piece rods, but the 3 piece rods sure pack easier.

Hey LV when you get a chance post a few of the short videos of us at LB or Snagger if ya got them its cool seeing the fish in the rollers on the opposite side of the river while we were all hooking up. I spent sunday adding up the numbers I was 5 for 31 on steel for friday and saturday lost one nice one about 17 pounds that Jiggawhopper couldnt tail grab. And as far as salmon it was silly hit the BP staircase and LB hit fish in every roller we stopped in. Friday night as snagger said was thick with them there was a few new guys at LB and I spent the last 2 hours hooking fish on their rods for them got one of them his first fish and it was a 10 pound steelie. You could close ur eyes cast over ur back and have one every cast for the last 2 hours it was silly.

Love those nights I love hooking them looking in the other direction, puts the challenge back into it.... ;D

Snagger I am talking to lambastem right now about going west in 2 weeks. What do you think about that. You think you can sneak away for a day and go with us??
-
That is true the rod I wanna get is 15 ft but 3 piece or I was thinking a 13 ft that 2 piece never had a 3 piece so was wonder if they were any good
-
Just got back from fishing with Deadeyez.... fished for 4 hours with only 1 steelhead landed for 3 hookups. Felt good to get the rust off...and the dust off the rod!! ;) Great fishing with you today Deadeyez...you maniac!! ;D Good times!--KP 8)

You couldn't pay me enough to use a 3 or 4 piece rod, if i could i would have all one piece
-
If I could carry a one piece 9 footer in my car I would buy one. You cant beat the feel you get from a one piece. But I use 2 piece rods up north all the rods I have that are 7 foot or less are all one piece. Jiggawhopper has a 3 piece 10 weight and he just retired it for a 2 piece not enough feel or backbone he said.
-
Jersey Dave you pm box is full, i need to talk to you
-
Cleared
-
LV I sent you my cell number to in a pm the other day bud
-
Hey Snagger check out the pics LV posted of Jiggawhopper on page 368 and then on page 369 tell me if you notice whats different in them. I noticed the rod thing the other day with your video you should be able to pick out this difference fast I bet.

Mines prettier. Lol

Half those fish in shanes pic look fin clipped. Maybe I haven't been paying much attention but I don't think I've got one this yr that was fin clipped , and that includes the lake. Every hatchery fish must not be fin clipped.
-
Man all u guys r posting some great times on the river wish i was there to see it for the first time in mid October but im here in Ill watching deer go by my stand like salmon in ariver. Had 16 go by me tonight only one with horns, but its just amatter of time. Good luck fishing guys, and shane take abreak all work and no play is not good. lol

Hey Kowboy I know I said it when I met ya at Snaggers but I will say it again if ya need company out there I will be glad to come with ya

hey adam; myself and a few others were following the fin clipping pretty closely for a while and it seems as if many had unclipped adipose fins this year especially early; i thought that this ment a natural repro fish if not clipped... i know the hatchery has a new method of clipping them so maybe there is some fault with that... id be interested to know what the actual conclusion is though regarding wild fish...
-
The US fish and Wildlife Service told me that a clipped adipose fin can regenerate. So the data on clipped and unclipped fish can be off.

i think there not clipping sum so they can say hey theres more natural fish we dont have to stock as much now and cut funding
-
Another plea that if anyone found a Sony Cybershot, greyish silver, black case and extra rechargeable batteries my brother in law is in the dog house. It would be below Ellis cove, above the Trestle and maybe along the road below Snaggers place. I can pm pics of his ugly mug if found.
-
I guess that's a thought gill killer....
Gambell; I've seen them regenerated and they don't quite look the same.... id love to think they are wild.....

I am with you on that trying to fill the freezer myself, soon ill be ready for a small break and some fishing
-
did i count right? 9 out 0f 13 kings were clipped.
I was thinking yesterday while fish cleaning, there must be a link to over all survival of natural reproduced salmon during lower water seasons, but also looked back at records for the drought year and the water was 1800cfs for weeks during the spawn, so it's really kind of a mystery how this dynamic fishery really works.
.Heres something I always based our river runs off of..Weather on the lake during the peak of charter season..last 2 weeks of August and first 3 weeks of September, if its flat hundreds of salmon are harvested per day, if it's rough that many more fish are added to the river run, think about it, on a saturday if 100 boats land 6 salmon each, how many fish is that? alot....This ecosystem has so many variables, I wouldn't ever pin point one single thing as the reason for a great season....
-
Another factoid to you guys who keep track of natural fish..When I moved here in 93..the first thing I did was walk out back behind my property across the cornfields to the River and walked it to the power dam, this was before it was the upper fly zone and it was jacked back then with spring steelhead and fall salmon, actually the coho's pack into this little tiny ditch back there that's 2 foot wide, so this has been a part of are run for a long long time, before the regulated summer flows.

Just cleaned 9 large kings, 8 had no fin, one with a fin, got 12 more out there , I'll count them today too see the percentage.
[color]
-
Well my study is over .... 45+hens we've cleaned so far today.... all hatchery fish haven't seen an adipost fin yet today...males ... about 7 out of 34 had fins so far..... been kind of slow day so I did this study for people who keep track of these things. 7 out of 79 were possibly wild or had adipost fins. Every day is definitely different, but this is today's run of fish from up river. Mostly kings.

Fished Tom's Run late am and early pm today. Went 5 for 15 on mudsharks. Fun day.

Hammered 'em today. Don't know how many times I am going to say I had my best day yet this year but filled a 120 qt cooler with salmon today between 3 of us- could barely shut the lid. Got them in the tribs, main river, spinning, fly rods, you name it. My ten yr old son got a 25 lber - smiling like crazy ;D. Great day to be on the water - tight lines - Eric

Well atleast I am seeing more horned deer then you just wish I knew there was 180 in deer running around here like there.

Adipost fin study:
Heres todays break down I checked 129 fish total...out of that 129 there was 9 coho's 1 brown and 3 steelhead .... so 116 kings that I checked..out of 116 kings ... 71 were female......ALL FEMALES WERE CLIPPED , 100% hatchery fish, the males ..... of the 45 of them 14 had an adipost fin, 3 of which were 28-29 lb coho/king cross salmon............ So do the math......14 fins for 116 fish = a little under 10%
-

Good yr seeing them ill post some pics somewhere of the ones i have on cameras dont want to do it on here as its afishing site

Anybody fish low today . Gona try to pion some steel in the am , down low
-
Kowboy, I did go to the rock first thing this morning. There was a guy just above it so I couldn't get right on it. I explored upstream a little. Not much happening down there so we went upriver. Had a guy with me who hadn't landed one yet. He bought a new fly rod and was able to land his first today. He had multiple hook ups.
Post your pics over on myhuntingforums, same as myfishfinder. Saw one small buck yesterday.
saw one steely caught low this am.

I tell you snag, all these great reports are killin me and my boys down here! we want to come up but with the nice weather I need to make money. With the 7 sunny days last week i sealed 120 plus driveways and a parking lot, put down 5,000 gallons plus of sealer and worked 75 hours, im beat! Only been out bow huntin a few times but made it count for sure, killed a 120 inch 8pt in NJ and a slammer 15 point in Ohio that scored 158 py. Tell chris that one. Im leaving for Illinois on Nov 1 but maybe some browns and steel upon my return. Gotta fit it in between goose killin too! I got it rough i know. Keep cleaning them sharks and puttin it away man, it all ends soon enough. Almost time for you and the pin!

shane; im happy to see you sparked some interest in this one ... i figured it was right up your alley ;)
one comment; based on my early trips i made and also from other kin folk of mine that fished early as well; it was pretty obvious that the early runners seemed to have had a high unclipped fin ratio...
again; glad to see your interest sparked on this one and look forward to your noting and opinion on the matter...

one comment; based on my early trips i made and also from other kin folk of mine that fished early as well; it was pretty obvious that the early runners seemed to have had a high unclipped fin ratio...
again; glad to see your interest sparked on this one and look forward to your noting and opinion on the matter...
Now my fish cleaning station being up river, I don't clean many early runners, unless I get them now as older fish, but I outline my fish before cutting them and I don't go around a second fin that often, so maybe the wild fish, stay down river or shoot up into the sanctuary area above me or go to pulaski fish cleanings station..or all of the above, as it slows I'll try to keep track, coho's will have more fins, i seem to remember outlining around 2 fins on them. We'll see.. Maybe dry years like this year and 2007 and more productive for survival of natural fish, but now were getting complicated, because when do they hatch? Is high water, medium water or low water better for recruitment? Just from 2 days of checking kings ... I can see that the most important fish, the 4 year old large females are nearly all hatchery fish.
-
yeah, definitely can get complicated with all of the different variables that do come in to play... on saturday i fished dsr and saw a shallow flat above some riffles that was holding about 40 spawning salmon... although ive seen it before down there in to november months; i still found that pretty interesting for this time of year... then sunday a nice run of fish came in all large females and males that were from the lake... i was so caught up in the moment of hooking up and landing so many that i forgot to check the fins... ::) ::)
-
I believe every word of it...it's been crazy man..
.glad your gettin it done mike...on about my 6th straight week of 15+ hour days, 12 more days til i'm fishin bro....
Have you got hooked cleaning fish on any of those little blackbird hooks we were talkin about?
-
so there are alot more steelies in the mix it seems same as the browns?
-

Mostly still salmon guys goose, so few suprize hooks hidden....warm water temps has kept the steelhead bite down this year up river , that's about to change.
-
so there are alot more steelies in the mix it seems same as the browns?
The least amount of browns/atlantics I've cleaned in a long time, they are missing this year so far...lots of steel in the river..lots... Remember that picture I posted of fish on the floor, those 2 hens with adiposts came from South sandy.

Thats nice to hear that there isa good amount of steelies, I hoping the browns move in too never caught a nice one haha its on the hit list

Anyone going to be out fishing on Friday? After three weeks of being cooped up on the rig, it;s time to fish!!
-
Shane in one day you came up with more useful information about hatchery versus natural fish than the state could in a three year 500,000.00 study.

It aint over, I'll continue til Halloween now that it slowed down for me.
-
what fin do they clip on steelhead? anybody know? Thanks.
-
I think it is the left pectoral fin on steel.
-
Much slower day finally in the station, people are now bowhunting or targeting steel, but my study continues.
Today 19 males so far 6 with fins
15 females so far 2 finally with a fin[but they came from Orwell creek] so 84 consecutive salmon river females and yet to see an adipost fin.
So since I've been checking I've seen fins on sandies, trout brook, orwell creek females, but none on salmon river yet. Interesting. Also, I bet if I asked ......most of those males with fins came from the tribs too. I'll start asking.
-
where are the hatchery fish stocked? Are the stocked in the river or in the lake? Maybe this has alot to do with it if they are stocked in the SR they are "suppossed" to return to where they were hatched when it comes spawning time, since it would be the hatchery the river they were stocked in might be the next best thing? just a thought
-

They are raised in the hatchery on the SR and released into the river from there. The stock of browns and atlantics, if im not mistaken, are taken from another hatchery and then delivered to the SR hatchery where they become imprinted with the SR and once big enough to be on their own relased into the river where they live for a while before making their way down to the lake. Its about 10 miles away or so.
-
so would it make sense that that is why those batch of fish are returning if you were to assume they were the same fish without and addipost fin, and more of the natives are going to some of the other tribs that are stocked less heavily?
-
Everyone who lives near the Salmon River or fishes it regularly are trying to get a handle on how many natural born salmon[whether born in orwell or trout brook , or the salmon river] contribute to the ny state hatchery salmon river stockings
.... The Dec has done surveys, but they have been flawed up to this point, so I thought I would do a study, since I see them every day in the fish cleaning station..surveys can be misleading as they are taking the word of someone who usually is guessing as to what he let go or has seen. When there on my hooks..theres no guessing ....there dead...just facts to write down and look at later.
I read something in the Syracuse paper about there being a 57% contribution to the fishery from natural fish, well 2 1/2 days into my study, I've found a 9% contribution from males and a 0% contribution from females....We'll see how it shakes out til halloween.
-
All I can say is wow . By far. The best day I have ever had. glad I called in to work. I landed 8 Steelhead and 4 browns. Seen a 21 pound chromer landed.
-
sounds like a banner day congrats man, did you take pictures

A question for all you guys who use a Center Pin....I have a chance to buy a 3.5 inch and was wondering if this would be ok to use on the Salmon River and a few tribs?? I know nothing about a center pin and this would be my first one.. guys i know i think all use 4.5 to 5 inch ones so i am thinking it might be a bit small.. any info would be of great help.. thanks!!

Snagg . I seen it on the scale my self . And 10 other guys too. The guy who caught the beast is a guide . They used my net ,to net it . They took plenty of pics of it . I don't have one , but I got no reason to lie about some one elses fish. I Just met the guy today. I got one 17 pounds last week . And it made that one look small. Either way it was the biggest Steelhead I ever seen landed. By far . All fish were let go . So he's still in there . Yup I said he it was a 21 pound male !!!

What scale? can't keep em at DSR...and that's the only place you fish, right? just wondering, ever since DSR went C&R been millions of 20 pounders caught , about 3 a year before that....so it was caught up in public water?
I was an old veteran 20 pounder hunter, thousands of hours just targeting areas large steelhead would be, like hunting deer, that's why I'm so skeptical.
-

Been fishing for them since 1971 and i have never saw one either Snagger..i tend to be like you..Just a bit skeptical but know it could be possible...
-
Haha . No I just fish where the fish are . Haven't had a reason to move out of my spot yet . Benn there 7 times this year and hammered them every time . You don't leave fish to find fish . Well I don't anyway. The guide used his scale . No idea what kind . Put 3 fish on it . One 13 pound brown . And a 16 and a 21 pound Steelhead. So I know the scale was relatively close.. if the scale was off . How much do u really think it would be off a pound . That would still put it at 20 . It's not like there not in there . .. you can't tell how bigg a fish u lost is . They are Deff there , its just rare to land one . It's a lot harder to land a 20 pound fish then it is too hook one. And like I said ten other people seen it . I'll try to track down a pic of it . It was the biggest fish I have ever seen. I wouldn't believe it either if I did not see it . All the chromers were on the larger side today .
-
I'm not going to debate you, haven't seen a TRUE 20 since 2001 ....10 years .... probably 100+fishin days a year for me for steelhead and i run a fish cleaning station...
Funny I cleaned 50 plus steelies last week from down low..one 15.2 a 14 and everytrhing else under 13 so this guy got 2 fishes of a lifetime in the same day.
-
I take that back I seen one true 20 in January of 2004 also that was when I fished 25 days a month all winter too. So I've seen 2 in 10 years. I hope your right though, because I haven't mounted a 20 since 2001..I'm due..
-
Hey man I'm new too all this . You vets have also been saying you never seen a lot of things this year. Like that many fish .. in the river .you never now I could be makin the hole thing up man . Ok just for you will say its 19 pounds 15 oz .

It must have been one of those small pocket scales, who makes them? ah yes, Fisher Price! I been fishin up there 15 plus years, since you opened actually , and you taught me everything i know. And i still havent made the 20lb club. Biggest was that 18.5 lb pig in the spring at N.S. 10 plus years ago. I got him with Stretch I think. That was a big male, swore he was 20, but not, denied again.
-
No he didn't get 2 fish of a lifetime the 16 was just some random guy . He got spooled to the not and ended up landing it .
-

I don't think your making anything up, I just know theres very few fish that big out there. Me and about 5 river guides were just BSing the other day at my place saying wow you see all the big 11-13lb fish this year. compared to the 6-9lbers that are everywhere these days.
I used to have a brass scale I used for kids, it was way off, but it made them happy..
-
I'll take a guy this week, and if he brings a nice 15 1/2lber in. I'll have him hold it out, tuck his fingers in and you'll swear it's 20, good for publicity, but not a 20 though, 20 is rare I'm telling you....
-
Heres a true 17lber

Haha is that a skipper our a walleye inside it . Thats insane . Now do u weigh it with the fish in its mouth.

an oneida walleye
Heres my last 20. in 2001 we didn't hold fish out then , that was resting on my chest, so these days it looks small.

I thought for sure that pic of dave the fish was 20

Great pics shane!
I'd love to write a peice on the history of the hero shot. I wonder who started doing it first in the fishing community. Probaly the West Coast guides, since they've been doing the Salmon and Steelhead thing longer than we have. It would be interesting to know when and where it started, but I bet it's impossible to pin point.
Every time I bring a newbie up to SR I give him a hero shot lesson. But honestly my friends and I bust eachothers ballz so much for extreme hero shotting, that I usually take a few pictures: from moderate to full blown hero!
Shane...you're a pro at it now! When did you see it start up there?
-
Heading up with HT to fish the River this morning. Hope the T storms and the wind don't put them into lock down today. I sure we'll get Cohos and Sharks but we're after some Steel. We're taking the Northwoods adventure today! ;)
-
I think "hero" shots started with the camera...I've known about it since I was around 16 (42 years ago) in Michigan...but as was said, to hard to pin down time...
-
i've done some big steelies.... and on 9/29 i landed a fish i believe is over 20. absolute giant. i've had a few upper teen fish and this fish made them look small. they are very very very very hard to come by
-
nice steelies, but a brown laker? Those exist kinda like a splake except obviously a brown/laker? Thats sweet

No one I knew even took many pic's in the 70's -90's, I would burn maybe a roll of film a year, sometimes 2 or 3 a year in the 90's, most guys didn't do that, then came digital cameras and by the mid 2000's the resolution starting getting close to that of film camera's, also about the same time internet forums became available to the masses, So I'd say mid 2000's the hero shots started around here. Back in the late 90's it would be like 8 bucks to have a roll developed at rite aid, then half didn't turn out right, so you bought more high speed film at 9 bucks a clip, then if you wanted an 8x10, another 10 bucks, we got it good these days.

Last fall I was out there fishing the Bovines area, this younger guy was coming down the river with a fish on that he couldn't stop, he also didn't have a net. I asked if he needed help with the fish and if he wanted me to net it for him. He said sure, when I netted this thing it was absolutely enormous. I am thinking it easily was over 20lbs. It reminded me of a striper back here at home with regards to its size. I was with 3 other guys and none of us had ever seen one that big before. I know those 20's got to be in there, and I am pretty sure I netted one last fall. The guy released it after he got the hook out of its mouth. That fish made these 2 look like minnows, and these were the biggest 2 I have ever caught.

Hi Mark,
When you coming home again?
I have yet to make it out, working north of the boarder.
Let me know if you are going to be around during a weekend. I'll find you.

poked around some old great lakes steelhead and salmon books today. Before the "fingers tucked. fish held out straight" pose, there was the ever popular "held out to the side, fingers in the gills" pose. The type of picture that would get Salmoncrazy a million hits in a day.
-
Had a great day on the River Today with good friends and good times. There are still Some Sharks and Cohos kicking around with a very few Browns and Some Steelheads to play with. Good time to come once the leafs settle in and stop floating in the water..
SCG
-
Haha I know the leaves were bad yesterday . You either had a leaf our a fish . The browns were still real low .saw ten get hooked out of the same pinch .

I hit the river with my son today. We started mid-river and found a few steelies and some kings. After lunch we moved to the lower part of the river. The lower river had a really good push of chrome and we were busy the rest of the day. Along with quite a few steelhead, I also landed some kings, a coho, and a brown for the "salmon river cycle". We got spanked time and time again by the steelies but had a blast doing it. There were lots of happy fisherman around us today. Lots of leaves right now, also. Didnt really take many pictures but here is one of the nicer ones I landed.

yep looks like a true one...wide tail handle. If you can't get your hand around the tail section it's usually in the high 18's and better...good one.

Everyone was talking before about the hero picture and when it started. I dont know when but take a look at Snaggers picture with the hen and me with this hen and lets play a guessing game. Lets see who can guess actual weight of these fish. The mount of the 20 pound steelie in the middle should be a good judging tool. Have fun everyone

Looks to me like yer pointer finger is tucked away reeeeal nice! Like a cork!
-
I need to figure out how to make my picture that big so its in proper perspective.

18lbs. is my guess on the fish just above this post and 23lbs in Snaggers post.

Guess for both fish the one Snagger is holding and the one I am holding

And mine was 22.5 just shy of 23 what a difference a hold makes lol

Look on the sr picture thread from Sunday. What do you think the king im holding weighs? No fingers tucked or holding it out. My guess 29-30

It's a monster Addam,,,, but I can only tell when it's laying on the cement, usually can get within a pound,,,,pictures are tough.

ok budd. so cause you only caught 2 over 20 , that means the guide didn't catch one that was 21. It would be a lot diffrent if I was trying to guess the weight . The guy had it on the scale man . It's a simple as that . You say u spend 100 hours on the river . This guys a guide . He's there every day ..

steve,
that is a beast steelie, the fish dreams are made of I can only imagine the tailwalking that thing musta done!!! impressive

Hey Laker after this year with the low water flows. i hope it's 1800 for the next 10 years then those dsr wannabee guides won't hook anything, they'll have to come up river and fish with the big boys, i've reorded 14 fish over 20lbs got 4 on the wall and used to fish with some of the best guides in my 33 years , i was a guide before you needed a guide pin, so don't give me no crap. dsr is simple...too easy, come up river they'll be lost.
Hey last year when you PMed me on what rod .. CP reel..line ect to use on the salmon, i took time out my day to tell you, and this what I get in return...man I long for the days before dsr and the computer..unbelievable.
-
My buddy and I fished DSR yesterday, with a pretty good run of steelies coming up through where we were. We managed 19 for 35 with the biggest guestimated around 14 pounds or so, with most of them around 8-10 lbs..

Wow man. The guys cleans fish all salmon season he knows what a 20 lb steelie is and they are rare.that so called big one you got in that pic is 14 lbs tops. Fish with him for a day and see if you think these dsr guidesare so good. Hell have 3a steelies on the bank before you can tie your bead on

Ive witnessed it, its sickening how quickly he hooks up in a hole I have been fishing in and not getting any hookups and he is palming his Pin with a hookup in mere minutes!! 1st cast last Spring at the Sandies and he was on and I had been there an hour with nothing!
Not trying to make his head swell, but he is the master up there, guide license or not. He is the EF Hutton of the SR. LOL
-
I have fished with Snagger for like 10 or 12 years he is ok I guess LMAO :D :D :D
-
I am going to go with Snagger on this one also.. He is from the Old days and although i never have had the chance to fish with him yet i knew a lot of the Old boys he hung with.. Just knowing that is enough for me.. Seems all the Old boys know how to put fish on the bank and not how to sit at a Computer and write how good everyone is..We actually got in a car and made a 4 hour drive without worrying about how many fish were in a creek or even if there were fish in a creek..We fished the old days when you were lucky to land ten fish a day and Steelhead were even further in between..Days when you put in hour after hour and when you finally got a hit you were excited.. You young guys do not have a clue as what real fishing is about.. for you it's all about catching and if you don't catch 15-20 Steelhead a day you whine about how bad a day you had!! There is not one bit of doubt in my mind that Shane knows what he is talking about....Time for me to crawl back under my rock and observe....I agree with you 200 percent about the days before the Computer also Shane.. The Computer has made everyone a freaking fishing Magician.. Wonder how many would be a expert without it.. Hell my Daughter could do the same as most the guys here.. get on Computer.. someone tells her where to go and what to use..Everyone wants the easy way any more...
-
i been fishing steel for nearly 40 years now and i fish everyday! i have only caught 2 steelies over 20 pounds ...honestly weighted ! is it possiable one got wacked yup .... do i believe it ...don't matter .... but i wouldn't take nothing from a man that lives on the river , helps everyone he can , and wakes up to the sound of salmon river every morning , nothing agaist guides but most are from jersy and got less time fishing these waters then alot of guys right here in this thread ....... i do know one thing .... read a lot of stories and advice on here .... never seen snagger bs anyone ! i'd bet my last dollar on what he says to be true .... don't know if i'd want to have to fish agaist the man either
-
dsr is simple...too easy, come up river they'll be lost.
just browsing through this thread....
this comment made me giggle...(truth is funnier than fiction - in a funny kind of way).
Makes one think about how lost the DSR XPURT Guides would be without their early-admission pass to their favorite snaggin ROCK.
And how truly lost their paying clients are....
later

Nice upRiver steelhead from a nice young man staying here. Tons of steelies everywhere, it's insane this year.

hey guys maybe all you newbes maybe should sit back and appreciate all the info these guys are willing to give out I'm one myself and you dont or wont hear me bashing the old timers on the river(dont take that wrong way guys) I'm coming up ther almost 19 years now and every year I STILL learn from the boys at AOL if you dont like what they say go to the other thread (S.C.) see if they give out as much info!!!!! stick in ther SHANE just look at the ### of posts that should explain everything hey trap could you send me a P.M. when your gonna be around next got a favor to ask you KP see u next week RICK

One glance at the walls in snaggers lodge, as well as the framed pictures should give you an idea. Other than that, I've been coming up for a while now and have heard a lot of people preach the gospel to me....at this point there's only a few people I'll ask anything up there and believe it. Shanes one of them.
As for your steelhead...I made the same mistakes on judging fish when I first started landing the big boys. Even roped up a Steelhead one day thinking I got my wall hanging 20 pounder, only to get back home and see 14 on the scale.
One bit of advice would be to put the tape to it in your photos, or show the weight and/or both. That way you have some support for your argument.
You caught a nice fish, no doubt. But keep in mind 20 pounds is a eastcoast steelheaders dream. At least it is for most of us "regular folks". If you live on the river, own a lodge, or guide etc, it's much more realistic.
-
I never said I caught it .
-
I never said I caught it .
Guys too much beating up on Lakerdave, all he did was say he witnessed a great catch, lets all just move on cause Dave had a great day himself with all those pictures, hate to bring him down for just reporting what he saw.
Lets get back to Fishing on the river and lets keep those pictures coming. I'm living vicariously through all of you, as I'm listening to Tool's song Vicarious! ha-ha
-
shane..... catch a fish..... i dont know about all that now....
but in all honesty. shane is one hell of a guy, goes out of his way for just about everybody. hell i've only known him a few years and the first time i met him it was like we had been buddys for a long time.
as i said i caught one of the biggest steelheads i have ever seen in the end of september. and i've caught alot over the years. 20lbs? maybe. but i do know my boga said 19. so im sticking with my 19lb story.
shane. i'll take you up on that offer we discussed the other day if i dont get what i need.
-
Shane is the man...no bs, tons of advise......even though I sometimes fish on the "other side" of the bridge ;)
-
O I know he's a good guy , he gave me a few hot tips this year . And a lot of info on pinning .and what rod to get
-
I know nothing about Center Pins and think maybe i would like to get into it a bit.. Have a chance to buy a Islander Center pin for 290 bucks that has been used once.. is this a good deal or not?? Can one use a 10 Fly rod with a Center Pin or does it have to be a 13 footer or better?? I have been reading everything i can but after a bit it gets confusing to this Old Boy...
-
I fished from 7 til 2:30 and got SKUNK'D! I thru everything I had at them this morning. I keeping hearing that there is steel everywhere tho. They must be every where but where I am.
On a side note, I stopped by the cleaning station and talked to Dave. Good dude, he gave me a little advice. nice meeting you!

The longer the rod the more line you can keep off the water and the longer drift you can achieve. I've run mine with a 10' rod as well as an 11'6 and both worked well but that was targeting carp on smaller rivers here in PA as well as floating baits for eyes on the Susky. I don't use my aventa float rod (13' I believe) anymore because the extra length of the rod puts extra stress on my already injured shoulder and I'd rather the fish beat it up than the rod

Thank you for the response.. I would eventually get a rod if it is something that i am going to like but hate to put a ton of money into something that i am not sure about or not.. been a Bottom Bouncer since 1971 and it hard to give up a way that has been good to me over the years..But would like to at least give it a try.. would be mainly fishing Western NY Tribs so would be much smaller creeks any way and don't need long drifts...

River Report for October 21st:
The up River Float bite continues too be unusally slow, [probably due to warm water temps for this time of year]alot of guys working hard, but I set a guy up staying here up this morning...he landed 7 steelhead on floats by noon.
Down River the bottom bouncers continue to punish the steelhead, I drove down there and witnessed it first hand , at one point I seen 4 steelhead on for 9 guys in one run. Had a newbie guest yesterday land 11 for 17 on steel down there. I haven't talked too any float guys in 2 days down river, but it must be picking up by now. Very light fishing pressure everywhere I drove too today except there was a mob of cars at the papermill/trooper area.
Still cleaning lots of fresh kings and some coho's from all ends of the River, tribs and big Sandies...Good luck if you go. ;D
Also for the second straight day lake enhanced rains hit our area, bringing the tribs and water tables up, nearly an inch of rain in 3 days, more up north.

Hopefully I will be up in 2 weeks. If not I will be there in 3 for sure. I am ready for steelhead. ;D
-
snagger do you think i could catch a steelhead if i tried really really hard ???? i was thinking either a brown (favorite on salmon river ) or yellow (oswego river) stone fly drifted under a strike indicator short nymph style or long swings in pools ....mama says real men fish with flyrods ,thats what mama says!!!!!

Maybe if you tried really hard. I was getting them yesterday on beads using my fly rod. Thought about trying a indie but didn't feel like changing out my sink tip

so why was lakerdave pissin in snagger's cherios anyways?
is this another SC thing,,,?

i hate useing a sink tip .... i just carry 2 reels bro ;D

Hit the river again this afternoon. Fished down low again. We found some steelies but it wasnt as crazy good as yesterday. We worked hard and managed a few. I saw some real slobs get caught today. There are still a ton of leaves in the river. Hoping to get back up on Sunday. A pic of one from today.

tug hill is getting hammered with rain!!!!

Hey Griz
That Islander is worth the price.
Even used, the Islander will last forever as long as you clean it once in a while. Unless it was dropped off a cliff, it would need nwew bearings worst case scenario.
Thats $30 including shipping for repair. Or you can put new ones in yourself.
If you want to buy a reel once, an Islander is the ticket. The majority of the reels on the mainstream market are going work great.

Interesting Set Up.
That looks like a baitcaster reel.
Wired - is that a regular floatrod with in-line guides?
The reason I ask - I saw a few guys with them in the past with reels mounted on top - but their rods had "offset guides" - from the stripping guide half way up the rod.
I was told that the staggered guides allowed the line to flow off the baitcaster and prevent twist.
Hard to explain in words, but maybe some of the other guys here know what I am describing.
Anyone ever use that type of rod?
-
Never used that style of rod, but they are catching on around here. BC anglers seem to use bait reels more often. I saw many people in Alaska using the same set up. I saw more float guys using baitcasters than pin reels.

Redfield Res. Update:
Redfield Res. 3 1/2 feet from the bottom of the boards, heavy lake effect pounded Tug hill last night and the day before and it's still raining up there... Res. should be just about full by Monday....Can you say a higher flow, just in time for steelhead season!!!!

That is a Bass Pro Shops 12'ML walleye series rod. No problem with line twist yet. I used Suffix nylon line in 10# Stayed on top nice.I was getting 100 yd drifts with no problems. Just have to feather it with your thumb. The Okuma Allumina bait cast reel has a 7.3 to1 retrieve. The rod reminds me of a Cortland noodle rod. :thumbup_smilie:

sounds good Wiredstone - you found another way to skin the cat, without shelling out big $ for centerpin reels & custom float rods.

Hey guys havent had internet here, its spotty at the farm so i had like 9 pages to read. Great pics everyone, some great info and times i see still going on the sr.

Took a pic of one of those coho/king cross breeds today we see some of...a 20lb female with hook jaws on bottom and top, strange creatures. It had eggs or we would have thought it was a male.

Tank and I fished low on the river for a little over 3 hrs this afternoon before sliding down to Oneida to get some eyes.
I played around with the centerpin w beads and bags while he bottom bounced the fly rod with egg pattern flies. I hooked 4 steelies and some old salmon. One of the steelies i had wooped and ready to land but had no place to beach it and nobody around with a net, oh well. Tank played with 6 chromers and 3 browns plus a few salmon. Also a bad place to land em... ;D
Headed south and set up at our old north shore spot. Almost no wind and lots of bait around. Popped 4 nice eyes right at dark. Started heading east to run some more spots but I got a call from work so we bailed for home...
A nice fall day for sure...

Whenever I see a fish like that has run the gauntlet, I always wonder if the scrapes along its side was made by rocks or hooks.
No doubt that fish swam through a few spagetti bowls... surprised it aint decorated for Xmas...

If there ever was a 2 week timeframe in steelhead history to be on the Salmon River, it's the next 2 weeks...I've been stuck on my property like a prison for the last 5 weeks and have heard the great reports, but today I got to witness it for the second time in 3 days. The first one was Friday am at the town rapiids and now in Altmar, saw many steelies hooked up while I was over there. LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!! This is going to be an epic week!!!!! ;D :thumbup_smilie: :clapping:

If there ever was a 2 week timeframe in steelhead history to be on the Salmon River, it's the next 2 weeks...I've been stuck on my property like a prison for the last 5 weeks and have heard the great reports, but today I got to witness it for the second time in 3 days. The first one was Friday am at the town rapiids and now in Altmar, saw many steelies hooked up while I was over there. LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!! This is going to be an epic week!!!!!
^^^ extend that time for another week or so!. me and bob (fishgalore) will be up there nov 11,12,13th

Your aweful quiet Frank, a birdie told me you had a BIG day today!!!! :o :o I grabbed my CP and ran across the street an hour ago , 4 good solid steelhead hook ups in 20-30 minutes, it felt good, rocketships.... landed one around 9lbs.. ;D
I would have had a bigger day day Snag, if I wasn't drooling on myself. I was having A LOT of trouble with hooks pulling out, line snapping off, If these big dime bright bullets weren't fighting me so hard! The big ones are there way!

I hooked around 20 this morning with a friend from Oswego, He hooked about 30. it was singles and doubles for us all morning long. then Floatfisher came down around 9:30am, with a couple of his friends and it still was silly. I netted one of his Fish and then I was locked in and then his friend locked into one. it slowed down about 11:30 then moved up to the bottom staircase and there they where! All bright fish!! My arm is cramping! :D

They are so hard to land in this warm water. The big ones forget it. Every fish I hook that was over 10lbs went back to the lake! lol. these fish are sliver and white no pink tint at all. There coming your way soon. I will say in Two days altmar will be smoking!

What style Mustads do you like best ? I always used 79791 and 79792 until they became hard to find. Now I use Edgar Sealy 1701 Octopus hooks. Can't find a better hook around these parts ! Sealy hooks are made in England.

I like the scud style hook don't know the number. also the X510 Mustad or something like that, 6s and 8s. The point looks like a broadhead.

x2 scud.

okay this is a thought... and im gunna say this first I AM NOT TRYTING TO BUY OR SELL ANYTHING (so i dont get yelled at ) THIS IS JUST AN IDEA cant stress it enough cuz ik your not allowed to buy or sell on here, my idea was to start my own lil thing of smoking fish... 25 bucks a fish trout or salmon it includeds cleaning/cutting the dark meat out/ deboneing and smoking of the fish i was just wonderin if it was a good idea if so comment or pm me
-
Had a fun 4 days at the river Thursday to today, however i had an 11' G. Loomis Switch rod stolen. It is a 4 piece rod. It's a Roaring River in a brown Native Run case. I will give 100bucks if anyone returns it.

Cold smoking? Do you anything about smoking salmon? Its not that easy. I do alot of smoking meat, making sausage and stuff. I've been told mine is the best vension summer sausage some have ever had. Since you mate and are from Oswego you could corner the market in it over there. I don't think anyone smokes fish there. If you need any tips on wood or anything pm me. Just so you know real smoked salmon is done with alder. Its pricey. Hickory is bitter. Maple just makes it taste like bacon

That really blows! Did they break into the vehicle? I leave valuables in my ride up there all the time, if people are breaking into vehicles I may re-consider.
I hope somehow your rod makes it home.

apple is good mild favor. Try mixing in cherry or pecan. Also try a liquid brine.its all about being able to do it the same everytime . I bet guys would pay 25 bucks for cleaning if you completely deboned it. Get out your needle nose. Lol

Before you can even consider selling a processed food product, you'll need to invest in a smoker or smokers that can be approved by the health department . You also need a facility that is up to Health Dept standards. You just can't fire up a smoker in your garage or back yard and clean fish on a sheet of plywood on a couple saw horses in open air. There are many regulation to follow strictly when processing and selling food products. The finished product also needs to be packaged and labeled according to Health Dept laws and inspections. Also, when dealing with salmon or any fresh water fish, there's the FDA that you have to deal with.

im not selling a proccessed food product cuz its illegal to sell salmon in nys. i am doing a service by cleaning fish for ppl who will become my friends or are already my friends. nothing wrong with that, and all the fish are cleaned in a well maintained garage on a cleaning board thats 5 ft by 3 ft thats washed after every cleaning and i have an old wood smoker that i got from my grandfather, that is wel maintained and cleaned after every smoking... im 19 yro im not out to start a big thing im just thinking of ways to make new friends and make a few extra dollers to help pay bills cuz i am currently unemployed and have electric bill and cable bill to pay electric is 200 a month and cables 140.... and with no job every lil bit of money helps. what im doing is cleaning fish n smokin them for ppl ik and they kindly give me a donation for my services kinda like a tip. yea theres always gunna be rules n regs but you gotta so what you can to get by, sum ppl deal drugs sum ppl have a great stable job.. i do what i can to get by the most legal way as possible and try to stay outta trouble n conflict. make new friends n fishing buddies live life to the fullest and have fun. plus job searching suxs haha, ive applied to god knows how many places.. called up on em and always got turned away...

19 years old? Ever thought of just going to college or trade school? Not that fillet-ing and smoking fish is a bad idea, it's just there's a lot more dependable things you could be doing. Most guys making a living up there do "all of the above" like running a lodge and cleaning fish, or running a lodge and guiding. If you love the sport and want to have your life running on that love you might want to branch out.
Other than that guys we are trailing away from the river talk quickly...

from your car? Scumbags are back
Nope, I was staying at Cannons and i put the rod down next to my door, went inside, forgot it, and gone.

Theft was a big problem again this year on the River, many dec lots and surrounds areas got hit. I had extra lights on my place this year to try to deter it from happening on my property. People just aint the same as the used to be..... sad...... I hope you get your rod back Gill, what was the make and model again?

-
Gillkiller, not trying to discourage you, just throwing out some things yo may not have thought of and I am not trying say that you can't get some income from doing what you are thinking. However alot of the guys that are looking to have their fish cleaned and smoked want it before they leave town. Some will get them on Saturday and want it done by sunday at noon, or fish sunday morning and want fish to leave with that same day. This means that you either have to brine fish every day, make them wait, or you are in need of a supply of freshly smoked fillets that you can replace with customers fish on a daily basis. That is the way that guys like Fritzy always did it. That also means that you are on call for the customers fish all the time. Not on the creeks, not out in a tree stand. You gotta be there at that garage for the people to show up whenever they feel like it, you start running around and missing guys and the good work you did will not help keep people coming to you. That also brings up how are people going to find you? You gonna put up postings at the access points marinas and Larry's? If Larry offers the same type of service he will not let you put up fliers, even if he knows your old man. If people don't know you, or have easy access to you and know where you are, you're not going to see much buisiness.
Good Luck, I think everyone wants the same things, to make a living doing sometheing that they love.

Not trying to discourage you from finding and working at something that you like but the service that you intend to provide IS processing food for consumption and there are regulations and laws that will and do requires that many conditions are met before you can put a knife to one fish.
There are loop holes but trying to skate through them isn't easy.
What JJ7Leaf posted is as honest and clear as it gets. Read it over and over until it sinks in !

Well, my trip to Florida was cancelled as my bud didn't get in from Afghanistan til late in the day on Friday. It was supposed to be Thursday through Sunday. So what do you think I did instead?
Can't show you any pics since the camera must have floated down stream again!!! This time at the Staircase.........close to dark and I slipped and fell. It must have fallen off then. This time the camera was in a ziplock sandwich bag inside the case but fat chance of someone returning it YET AGAIN!!!! The pics taken were of Gillripper1 with a nice 12.5 lb Steelie and a video of the fight til he told me to stop videoing and come help. The rest of the story is funny as hell. No pics of me with any fish landed.
Friday 0-1 with the CP.....Steelie. Stopped in at the AOL where Gillripper got his fish cleaned. Saturday 0-13 with my entry level 8 wt. rod with an Okuma Integrity reel ( I hate that reel). I had 8 Kings on and 5 Steelies. Probably 4 of the Kings were 20#'s or better......massive fish. At least 2 of the Steelies were giants too. There was one guy opposite me that saw the 1st big one jump and he yelled over after it was off that it musta been 15 or better. I hooked it, it jumped about 15 feet in front of me and off...........just like that.............gonezo!! Orange estaz was the ticket on Saturday! I even tied several more in the parking lot cause I lost about 8-10 of them throughout the day. I think the orange was more important than the estaz as COD also found that orange was the hot color.
Sunday at Oz went 0-2 on the CP in fast moving water but had fun and learned more of the river. Fished both sides. COD went 1-7 and had a nice one on early but it got tangled in the dock at the bottom tip of the island........so he grabbed both ends of the line while I held the pole on the dock...........retied and cut the tangle out that was under the dock. Fish still on for another few minutes almost down to the discharge at the plant but it finally shook the hook. I'd guess about a 15 min fight overall. The bead bite there was hot. In fact, only lifters were hooking up as far as we could tell unless you had the right bead.
So now like 0-14 in September on Kings and now 0-16 bringing the grand total to 0-30 this year. Boy do I suck at this!! No flyrod in November til I get a new set up probably over the winter. So it's gonna be the CP only in November. There's still hope for me then but I'm batting in the little leagues!!!

FR1328-4 Roaring River GLX Switch 11' 8wt 4 piece. It's a thing of beauty. lol. The unique thing about this is that the tube says NATIVE RUN AND NOT ROARING RIVER for some reason it is in wrong tube. This is the give away that it is my stick.
-
I'll keep my eye out Chris.
I took another short walk over across the street, first 30 minutes nothing on beads and floats, so pulled the float off my CP and fished for some salmon for some action, but those things tie up too much time on a big rod, so put the float back on and went 1 for 2 on steelies...slower action than most I'm sure, but good fun none the less.
-
What you waiting for out there? You got your eyes set on a big one?
Yea I try to keep from shooting the small ones. I have been passing them for about 6 years now maybe they will live to get bigger. You cant eat the horns and since there is no limit on does here there is no need to shoot a young buck for meat.

My brother had his spare rod swiped outta the bed of his truck at the All Seasons Inn in Scriba a few weeks back and my buddies rod/ reel got swiped too...they said they are going to be installing security cameras...its really a shame what low lives will do to get what they want :'( :'( :'(

Can you catch any steelhead or browns by casting hardware or drifting egg sacks or skein from the piers right now ? Gonna be spending a few days at a buddies place near Selkirk Shores .
-
best chances are around sunrise and sunset but i caught my pb rainbow around noon off a pier gold and purple cleo only fish I ever caught on that color ;D

Thanks. Just curious if there's still any numbers of fish in the lake that can be accessed from the piers or if they've mostly moved up river. Either way, I'll have some free time to kill each morning while I'm working at my buddies place. I'll toss the kitchen sink at em ! :D

Hi guys. New to the forum. Been to the salmon river a couple of times, and only recently started pulling some fish out. Have a couple of questions for you pros.
1. It might be the elephant in the room type of thing, but does ANYBODY catch kings by means of having them take the bait, or are we all snagging them? Are cohos the same way, or do they actually feed while running up the river? I know about the "flossing" concept, so technically you can say that you had bait on your hook and that the fish was snagged in the mouth so it's considered legal. Is that how we explain our catches? Sorry for being so blunt.
2. I caught what I think was a steelhead the other day. It wasn't taking my eggs that I was using, so I did snag it. But I found king salmon eggs in its mouth. I was using those pink eggs from the glass jar that's sold in larger tackle stores. What's the best egg to use for these fish?
3. Both the kings and steelie that I caught had white meat, resembling that of carp more than salmon. What's the deal with that? I was expecting pink or red meat.
4. I fish to keep my catch, and so I was wondering if the fish really do taste better closer to the lake, because I figure that they spend most of their fat for traveling upstream, so catching them way up by altmar, they wouldn't have much fat left. Is that true, or do they not lose a significant amount on their way around here?
5. I was under the impression that we can only keep one steelhead, but a guy on the river said 2. Now I'm all confused. I thought we can get 3 salmon and 1 steelhead. Steelheads are salmon though so does that count towards the 3 salmon limit, or what?
Thanks for clearing it up for me.
-
Yes it is one steelhead in a trib and it counts as one of your salmon
-
Three fish in combination no more than one steelhead

Hi guys. New to the forum. Been to the salmon river a couple of times, and only recently started pulling some fish out. Have a couple of questions for you pros.
1. It might be the elephant in the room type of thing, but does ANYBODY catch kings by means of having them take the bait, or are we all snagging them? Are cohos the same way, or do they actually feed while running up the river? I know about the "flossing" concept, so technically you can say that you had bait on your hook and that the fish was snagged in the mouth so it's considered legal. Is that how we explain our catches? Sorry for being so blunt.

just go on line and look at the new york great lakes and tribs regs it will explain everything good luck bud RICK

"...and thence the flaming wars began"
I didn't get a book of regulations with my fishing license; just for the record.
Why do people appraise the steelhead so much over kings? it's fine to snag kings just because they don't bite, but if you can't get the steelhead to bite then it isn't ok to snag them?
Snagging, and otherwise capturing spawning salmon, using nets, traps, what have you, has been a tradition among the absolute majority of human (and animal) populations in areas where the spawns occur. The DEC has made it hard enough with all the imposed laws, like the single hook, hook gap distance, hook to sinker distance, areas open to the public, time of day to fish, seasons. With all of these barriers in place, everybody will still stand there, snagging fish and looking at each other like the other guy's a scumbag for keeping the fish. Didn't we have an open snagging policy for like centuries, or millenia rather, before they outlawed snagging in the 90's? We're all here today. So are the salmon. Sssso what's the big deal exactly?

Ignorance is no excuse!!! get one :P
the answer to the steelhead over kings is simply this ........numbers......it would be like treating pike and muskie the same way ::) :o and although I have yet to trick one...steelhead feed all fall and winter.....no need to snag
-
WELL SAID MY MAN!!!!!

yeah i didnt catch he snagged the steelhead but they can be really agresive fish if they wont take an egg try a twister tail or single hook rooster tail hold it in front of his face long enough he will bite out of aggresion

The kings in the river die and rot. The steelhead spawn and return to the lake.

I am staying out of this one... All that I am going to say is any three lake fish in Combo, No Lakers tho! Brown,Coho,Steelie Limit filled. Coho,King,Steelie limit filled Get it now? One more Time. Brown,Brown (for now) Steelie Limit Filled.. All fish must be hooked in the mouth.. Easy huh?! I heard a good one a few weeks ago..lol. I was talking to a group of guys from Pa who have been fishing up here for years. They where talking to a guy who Said that he caught a Michigan Steelhead and it had to be 23 inches to keep and Rainbows have to be 21 inches. :cookoo: I think they said he had two steelies also. This is the part I don't get. You guys get regulation books! read them man.. I live here and I read all the revisions. its been changing like yearly the past few years.. Take the Rule book guys, Hey its free!! If you can't read, ask your agent what the new rules are.

Thank you very much Simplecarppieguy. The question of whether a steelhead counts towards the 3 salmon limit was answered many times already. I guess you folks keep answering that one because it's the easiest of the ones that I asked. No need to keep saying it. I got it the first time. Thanks again. I see we can talk about the 3 fish limit all day long here but people are afraid to talk snagging as if the FBI will come knocking on your doors the minute you mention it.

I doubt I will clear anything up but I will lead you to water:
go here for regs:- http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/7917.html (http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/7917.html)
I'm a relatively new guy to the SR and Salmon/Steelhead fishing. They don't feed but they do bite IMO. Not all are caught because they bit but they can be hooked in the mouth or as you said: flossed. Lots of guys choose to snag (I'm not equating that with lifting and lining) even with the regs and fines against it. I don't think you will find many publicly admitting that they snag fish on a forum like this and that is the smart thing to do. Why would anyone want to admit that they purposely break the law anyway? Only one reason I can think..............costly ego.
Plenty of Steelies are snagged. I would guess most are by accident but I'm also certain some are on purpose. It is NOT legal to purposely snag them. They must be released if snagged on purpose or by accident.
Can't help you on the color of the meat.
I'm told that Kings that are close to death don't taste good at all. So fresh fish just in from the lake are better. Not an issue for Steelies.
I think you got the drift on limits.
Now a question for you? Did you ask these knowing more than you are leading on?
-
Where do you park for the Staircase hole? I see the location on a map, but not sure where to park.
There is public parking at the Pulaski Fire Dept. on Lake St. which is aka County Rt. 5. You can then walk down Church St. to the river. Hope this helps.

I suggest everyone ignore Conook. My guess is, he's just a trouble maker and knows exactly what the rules, regulations and fishing techniques are. His questions are to pointed. Fishgalore is probably right also to questions his motives, especially now that he wants everyone to discuss his question about snagging. The answer to that is, it's illegal, period. Next it will be catch and release, all-in-all, pretty juvenile.

My thoughts exactly!!!! :D :D :D :D
-
Everybody snags fish in there. Fact of the matter is that the fish are so thick, that they are easier to snag than to make them bite. That's enough reason for me to believe that my keeping of whatever fish I catch plays absolutely no role in the long term impact on the fish populations.
Yes I do know more than I'm leading on. I did ask the questions in my first post to clear up on some of those things. From the little time that I've been on this forum, I've already noticed that it is dominated by the demographic that likes to just pick the easiest question, and answer it continuously. Also, this demographic is like the snagging police, focusing on that one fish that I said I snagged and kept.
Instead of wasting your time on your chair at the computer, arguing until you're blue in the face that snagging is illegal, why don't you conservation enthusiasts go out to the river and monitor the snaggers out there? Explain to them why you think snagging is bad; if you can. Wouldn't that be a better use of your time, if you wish to allocate time towards teaching people not to snag?
The meat color question is still up for grabs, if anyone can find the time to answer it.
-
Snaggin is illegal . All fish hit. Salmon just don't hit as much . If you fish for them when there low and fresh they bite just fine . Who ever says salmon don't hit, doesnt fish for them right. plan your trips early and fish low and use the right gear, if u wanna catch salmon legitimately . If the fish does bite your offering . You try something else .Mabey its not the fish,no need to snag , the fish Wana eat What they want . It's your job to figure out what they want to hit. I see this a lot. People hear from u guys that you have to Snagg the fish cause they don't bite . So they just Snagg everything . Salmon that are half dead have no reason to bite . So you plan your trip to catch the fish early like the same week they enter the river and the bite just fine . This year I have landed around 40 kings all in the mouth .

I'll bite.......or if you prefer get snagged. I think you may have this forum confused with SC. Not many here try to police others in anyway, be it, snagging or otherwise. Most, if not all fisherman or sportsman, should be conservation minded folk since they love the outdoors and benefit in many ways from it. Preservation & Wildlife management is necessary as past history attests.
BTW- I never gave my opinion about snagging........just presented the laws and regs that you said you did not have. I tried to make it clear for you............lead you to water...............but you must choose to drink! I'm not forcing you to do anything but I'd wager a pretty penny that the DEC will enforce you if they find you out.
The reason most don't want to discuss the topic of snagging is that it has been beaten to death on this site and others over and over again. And when a newbie comes along, some like to be courteous and helpful rather than shun them. To be sure some see right through them and ignore them. I like to write and engage my mind in debate at times but not to be offensive, but to better understand an issue if possible, and perhaps learn something that I would have otherwise closed myself off to learning. You know..............be pigheaded.
So now I'm glad to see that you are policing us here on MFF and know exactly what our motives here on MFF may be.
-
Snaggin is illegal and so is keeping a snaggged fish . Thats 2 separate tickets . And they can take your gear.

I personally think if you snag intentionally that is 100% not sportsman like at all. i mean if you are into a massive amount of salmon persay and your driftting your presentation and the hook gets locked into he side of a fish you cant control that. I belive if your hook is past the dorsal fin you cannot keep the fish and also when you set the hook you cant do a side hook set numerous times as i belive i was told. if im wrong on anything here anyone is more the welcome to correct me. just a newbie to the SR but have so general knowledge :clapping:
-
Hey conook, get off your high horse and go fish. Plain
and simple, everyone puts this fishery under a microscope.
let's be real its put and take for salmon. Steelhead are also put and take,
although they run the river, eat salmon egge, spawn and go back to the lake
simple as that. Don't complicate things and get folks all stirred up.
just go out and fish. I am not gonna police crap, not worth getting into it with someone over a fish. Plain and simple. Go fishing how you want and leave the fine print out of it.

The horse is more than dead...it's a pile of scattered bones...all that remains is what was too heavy for the coyotes to drag off.
I thought it was steelhead season? Are folks still chasing white stripes?
and as far as the guy who started this debate admitting he snagged a steelhead intentionally...shame on you! You couldn't have said much worse on this forum! Be thankfull not everyone tore into you, and some people actually gave you some info. Stick around a while you will see most of the folks on this forum truly "get it". Don't believe me? Open up a Salmoncrazy account and copy paste your original post on there. See how many friends you make.

Seems to me that Conook is a college kid doing some research for a physcology paper. His questions were precise and meant to get responses to which he can calculate the number of positive and negative remarks. Maybe he's searching for other statistics pertaining to fishermens ability to comprehend and respond to questions they may see as offensive. This stuff happens frequently.

I agree with what you guys are saying totally and in my opinion Steelies are God's gift to fisherman and its a fishery that needs to be protected like fishgalore said we are all conservationists... on a side note any more browns coming into the river and has the cold front hit you guys yet we are expecting lows of 28 F on thursday down here
-
fishgalore i think you are 100% correct and he is just asking loaded questions ... however if he did in fact snag a steelhead and the meat was white , he broke no laws as that fish had been dead for awhile :laugh:.................. go ahead co and get them worked up .... ya toss the right bait and they hit every time :rotflol:
-
Steelheads are salmon though so does that count towards the 3 salmon limit,
Go read the Book of regulations that came with your fishing licence ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) un friggen real ::) ::)

browns have been down low for a while . Last week I landed 4 my buddie landed 2 monsters .and I see a few more get landed around all out of one little hole . All were on the bigger side. I have landed 9 allready . I'm sure with this cold and rain theres a lot coming in right now . Looks like lots of rain here tomarrow so I will have the day off . To fish , last year I was up there this week and there was a huge push of browns . Landed my pb. salmon river brown 15 pounds .

Why do people appraise the steelhead so much over kings? it's fine to snag kings just because they don't bite, but if you can't get the steelhead to bite then it isn't ok to snag t keeping the fish.

I checked out Dawn's webcam today and thought something was strange. The sun was shining, yet the weather channel said it was overcast. There were two guys wading shirtless as well. Hmmmmm. The real kicker was watching the guy on shore tackle a salmon swimming in low water.
For future reference I don't think Dawns cam is "live", I think she made a feed or something and runs a loop.

Garbage will collected at the fishing access parking lot on county Route 2A near the Oswego County solid waste transfer station.
Ole Conook should win that hands down with his snagged Steelhead...

Hey guys hot a quick question.. when float fishing do you use a flouro leader for the shot line too ?
-
I do but I cheaper line. Like flouroclear not drennen or seagar

Late October Fishing report:
Been an interesting week on the River from what I've been told, seen in the station and from my little half hour adventures... Lower River has been silly all week with steelhead, plus fresh kings, coho's and occasional browns.. Tuesday in particular, had guys here hook 40+ steelies downtown, but it has since went back to being just steady, but great...
Upriver where I have been watching and occasionally fishing, like the altmar bridge, the turn and the barrel has been unusually slow on the float bite side, bottom bouncers with fly line have been doing really well on steelhead and salmon , still salmon everywhere spawning.
My buddy Mark did 24 hook ups on steel yesterday on an up river float, so the bites on if you cover some water, but by my house it has been dead compared to last year. Strange period we are going through, reminds me of the old days... Steelhead coming into the station all have empty bellies, then about the 10Th one a 100 salmon eggs will fall out of it's stomach...strange.
My advice , cover some water till you find biters. Had guys mid river crush them, had guys all over really since my last report, lots of steel, there just a touch tricky this year til you find active biters, or a moving pod. Good luck....been busy, no pics....
-
thanks for the report it sounds like it is a circus up there right now fish wise
-
Hows the water looking! Heading up in a week for steelies and woundered if the salmon are still running hard?

Just takin a guess, but I bet it goes to 750 tonight and eventually back to 335, last 2 storms missed us... Up to the power co. but that seems like where were headed, lots of fresh kings still today movin... cold out ....... 39 degrees right now......
-
The report is that the river is completely loaded with fish and has been for 2 months . Fresh chromers and browns coming in every day .

Congratulations . Nice fish man . Way to make it count .

thats a awsome steelie combsey hope i can get into a few like tht come 2nd week of nov!!!

22.4 degrees this morning , the storm missed us here yesterday , not only no snow really, no rain either....after last nights hard freeze the creeks are dropping hard and all the leaves are falling except on the oaks. Hope the power co. drops her to 750 soon, or I'm afraid there going to run us out of water..
No rain forecasted for a week...
looks like another cooler version of an indian summer comin.....

Nice fish Combsey!!!!!!! :thumbup_smilie:

gotta get up there....especially if there is a drop. I told myself I'd try and get up this week but it just didnt happen....been stocking up the fly box with some pretty gnarly looking spey/intruders going to give them a whirl as soon as I get the chance. hooked into a bruiser a couple days ago got exicted and diddnt clear my reel...ended up wrapping my running line around my reel handle and the fish broke me off....
been swinging on and off this season but really want to dedicate some time to it early in the season this year...water's been high on the oswego...and the bead bite is just hard to peel yourself away from sometimes.
want to get up there and fish for some players.

Been cleaning alot of coho's this week, finally grabbed the camera, notice the fourth one down is a king cross.

Taking one of my boys Sun. Morn nice to hear 750, any higher and it's a bit tough to teach kids, if not down right dangerous. Although 2 years ago I saw a dad tethered to his son, mine???? Not so much, I'd get the "I'm not a dog get this off me"
-
Awesome pics snag the colors r amazing. Nice to hear alot of fishing being done and some good times. Heard from the gf we got 5inches of snow at home, cooler here so things r picking up. First week of hunters done next ones coming in on sunday, only 3 weeks to go eeeee ha. Was great reads tonight guys

Look how large the adipost is...also sharp hook jaw on bottom, plus I could tail the fish, it has a handle on its tail... It was small like a coho, usually they are very large and take more king characteristics, but have a round upper nob, as kings have a sharp lower hook. and yes spots all over it's tail, not just the top.

good times I LOVE IT WHEN I GET A LOOSE BROWN

Funny I been counting the days til I'm done fish cleaning since that coho run around sept15th, back then it was 45 days....2 more days to go, by then all the easy fish will be gone, that's ok...I like the educated ones. See you in 13 days falls.... ;D

I'm ready for my last hoorah this year unless we can get there one weekend in Dec. like I discussed with you already. That would be fine by me...........hope it goes down. Otherwise, the next one won't be til late April early May. Cool temps are good for fishing but I hate the cold anymore. Give me a pair of shorts, a guinea T and a pole and I'm loving it. Hate wearing 10 lbs of clothing for the next 6 months. But I'm a wimp when it comes to the cold even though I enjoy ice fishing I'd rather be in a boat anymore than hardwater.

Ok now it is snowing. But to warm to stick. My paint is drying slow in this weather. Getiing the rods and reels ready for next week.

Our power went off at least 12 times yesterday. Snowed all day and only 1" on the ground. We got lucky again. Just NE. OF US THEY GOT 19"

I have trees down everywhere. power is out and they say it will stay out well in to the week. Trees are on wires and laying in the road about 200 yds down my street. Last night I stood in my yard and could hear trees crashing down in all directions every 10 seconds. F-in crazy!!!

Not for nothing, but we were all cracking up this morning in the living room when Jim Cantore was reporting 9.7 inches in Harrisburg and there was no plow marks and green grass in the background, then they go to Nj. and another guy is reporting 19 inches and I can see grass there too, no plow marks...funny media world we live in.... ;D

I'm 40 miles west of Stroudsburg and had 14" of snow on the ground this morning.
I'm about 400' in elevation increase from you - makes all the difference.
no long term power loss, but at least a dozen flickers - tired of resetting microwave clock..
Al Gores's interwebs were down this morning too - Verizon DSL.
p.s. - Kim Cantori is a NITWIT (like all the rest of the talking heads).

They reported 12" here ,but only 1"stuck. All ice this morning. Hope to have early ice this year. ;D

Hit the salmon today... My buddy wanted to go up to the barrel/wires area. Against my better judgement I agreed. It is just too crowded up there. Anyway, got in the barrel across from 9 boats and below 3 more. Second cast fish on, nice steelie in the 8-9 range. A few minutes later got one 13ish. My buddy then switched to a blue bag and got a hook up. In all we did better than most the boats in the area and other guys. I think my new cure may be decent. I hooked 5-6 my buddy did 3-4 by 9am. the action dropped off in a hurry after the first hour and a half or so. After that it was a fish here, a fish there. The usual stuff was working, blue sacks, beads.. mostly blue sacks
lotta guys up river, lotta people around, not too bad, but still a lot... good morning of fishing

Hey Snagger its was great seeing you again. I had a great time fishing up there on Saturday. Learn the hard way after hooking up on 7-8 Kings there was no way I could hold them on 6 lb line. Changed up to 15 and everything changed. Starting to get this Salmon fishing thing down a little. Can't wait until spring steelhead. Bob

wow awesome fish iceman. love the colors

Started out down town this morning and did pretty good early on then slowed to a crawl so we moved up river and hit a few spots and got into some chrome...not a bad day over all just had to keep on the move, to any one traveling in Pineville or Altmar the new Pineville bridge is finally open, got a few scene pic's for ya no fish tonight
That new bridge sure doesn't look anything like the old one, does it? Fished under it a couple weeks ago with my brother, just before it got opened back up. Also had a couple chances to fish there when it was the old steel bridge. When a vehicle would cross that thing, it would rattle any fish under it. Good times.

Not for nothing, but we were all cracking up this morning in the living room when Jim Cantore was reporting 9.7 inches in Harrisburg and there was no plow marks and green grass in the background, then they go to Nj. and another guy is reporting 19 inches and I can see grass there too, no plow marks...funny media world we live in.... ;D
sorry, i know this is a late response snag ;)
you are right about the media morld we live in; but in the southern tier of new york; orange county specifically, my mother in law got 14 inches and im down in north jersey and there was 6 inches the next day; alot of it melted and compacted by then so there may have been parts of nw jersey that got over a foot... i drove through the whole storm from whitney point down to southern NY; it was pretty bad...

Put a couple half days in the river today and yesterday finally. Weather was awesome but fishin was kind of strange. Yesterday did a quick drift trip with Northwoods... Got on the River right after they dropped it too 335cfs around 130, so the fish were in a funk... Very few hook ups til we got below the trestle around the can, did well from there through the head of the snag the snag and the island and ended the evening with a refrigerator hole blitz... I landed 4 for 10 on steelhead with an accidental salmon and a brown too, Dave .. Mark and his buddy did well too, mostly floats and beads , but bounced some sac's as well when the fish got funky..
Today I walked around Altmar, first 1 1/2 hours I bottom bounced sac's in the bubbles above the barrel.., had 12 hook ups ..... but every single fish did like 3 head shakes and spit the hook, it drove me nuts....I could not for the life of me figure out what I was doing wrong... so I walked back to the house and grabbed the CP, a new 11 6 raven to try out.... hit the school and the wires, absolutely had a blast ..... ended up going 4 for 14 in less than 2 hours, bringing the afternoon total to 26 hook ups on steel.. Had a true monster probably over 17lbs get off after a good 7 minute battle, shook it's head and broke my 5lb. drennan right near shore.... Awesome 2 days to get the rust out,,,...fishin is tricky with the low clear water....
-
low and clear I might have to take a short ride in the morning ;)
-
PRAY FOR RAIN CAN'T TAKE THIS LOW WATER STUFF!!!!!! MAN I'M GLAD I HAVE A PLASTIC BOTTOM THIS BOAT WOULD BE TORE UP!!!! BEEN GOOD FISHING AND TONS OF STEEL LIKE SNAG SAID THEY WERE IN A FUNK!!!!!
-
I was in a funk as well, good fishing with Snagger, Lambastem, and Northwoods!

Funk" wholy cow, I had to just leave the run and walk away I was so upset with myself, went home regrouped and took off again...much better the second trip out for me...great fishin with you too John. ;D

Up high
Thanks for the response. Glad to hear your group had some nice days hookin up! Snagg and the gang! :thumbup_smilie: :flex:
-
If i had all your money n free time i'de be heading up every wknd instead of every other one. Lol
If some one would drive up with me every week or every other week i might go every weekend :whistling: :whistling: just to much in gas, i spend more on gas than any other expense for a weekend of fishing ???
-

If you lived closer to me I would do it, but we are in opposite directions. Thats my biggest issue is the $100 in gas i spend both ways.... My truck is a guzzler..... :-(
-
Yeah really....I live in NY and the gas to get there and back is the ONLY reason I haven't fished it. Hard to believe gas was once 82 cents a gallon in my liftime....I'm only 33
-

i have been driving my 2000 Nissan Maxima up and back so far this season, its a little more reasonable on gas but its a really nice car and i hate to fish out of it but some times we do things we don't like to do to get what we want ;D
-
I think I will be looking for a small gas saver to take up there. I have been driving my 2010 challenger up there this season and the gas is one thing but the mud and fish smell in the car and water from the waders is another thing all together.
-
get a 4 banger tacoma 4x4

I think that's a good idea JD that car is way to nice to be fishing out of ;)

get a 4 banger tacoma 4x4
Ive been thinking about getting rid of my 1993 Toyota sr5 and getting a 05 or may be an 06 if i can afford it, still haven't come to terms with my self to let it go. Bought it brand new in 93 and took really good care of it and its still in relatively good shape, it needs some work but its the gas milage that's keeping me from using it this season ???
-
I hear ya man I have a tacoma but the 4.0 liter and its great on gas compared to other trucks but it still drinks its share on the 6 hr ride to pulaski, should be able to find a 4 banger with the 4x4 package at a fair price and you cant kill the toyota engines, as im sure you know being a toyota owner yourself.

whats a fair price? Any 4x4 decent tacoma with reasonable miles (less than 100k) around here is well over $15k.
As for the SR, I will up be there sat and sun this weekend. ;D

I have 137.000 on mine and the engine is the best part of the truck, shore it has some rust and needs some repairs but it still runs good. Changed oil every 3000 miles used mobile 1 after 1000 mile brake in...if it wasn't for the bad milage i wouldn't get rid of it. Its not really the truck's fault its the fact that I'm forced to use an inferior fuel than we ever had to run. When i first got the truck i was running Sunoco ultra 94 and was getting over 20 miles per gallon and was only paying 1.45 in 93 :o well never see that again or a more quality fuel for our cars, if anything the quality will only get worse as crude supply runs out.
-
Great pic of the rainbow and that brown snag was off the hook. Got warm here in illinois its 70s so has shut the deer movement down might half to go do some catfishing tonight after my hunters get in. Thanks for the reading again guys. Just like u snag never giving up and analizing all that goes on, then making aplan great job
-
If you want to keep your nice car from smelling fishy. Get yourselves a cheap rug (with a rubber bottom) or a rubber floor mat to keep in the trunk. Put all your wet or fishy stuff on that. You can pick em them up cheap at the dollar general.

I know. ::) We will hook up yet this year. With work, kids, and snowmobile I have had no time. Plan on coming up more this winter. I will be ready for ice. At least I can get a quick trip in this week. ;D

After yesterday, I didn't think it could get much better, but boy was I wrong... I feel like a kid right now, This afternoon was probably some the fastest steelhead action I've ever expierienced... I went fishing with a bunch of guys and we all split up in the woods but me and my buddy Eric Pritchard stumbled on to a hot pod of steelhead, We were pretty much by ourselves ....
I was running floats and he was bouncing bottom, my first 6 casts was 6 steelhead on and so were his. After about a dozen steelhead with more than half landed on floats, I had to strip it off, my buddy Eric was absolutely on fire, he was tearing it up. So I switched to bottom with my Cp, for an hour and a half we had double after double, it was silly..I have no idea how many we hooked, probably 60 or more maybe.
The highlight of my afternoon was I hooked the biggest steelhead of my life, easilly 23-24lbs, and yes Laker Dave you were right and I was wrong, I am realising this as I've fished the last few days, that you were right..... there are alot of large fish this year... At first I thought it was a bright king as it jumped over and over til I seen the tell tale black back white belly with that distinct line...It was a 15 minute grinding back breaking battle before it got hung up on a rock and rubbed my line and broke...I was so depressed, it was the most exciting thing that's happened to me on the River in over a decade... I'll never forget that fish ... it was so thick and atleast 40 inches long.... What a day, then Northwoods drove up on me at around 5pm and we hit another 8 or so on floats til dark on a little drift...What a day...I'll never forget it as long as I live...
-
sounds like a monster fish Snagger and a great day. about time you got to enjoy the river a little 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)work sucks but i got to fish for an hour after work at my honey hole and got 19 crappies and 25 gills right up to dark. all released. what a great time of the year to fish. 8)

That's awesome Snag..........I can't get the images of the big ones I had on out of my head either. They would have been the catch of a lifetime. Some big Steelies this year for sure.

I will stop over Friday. Maybe you can come out and play ;D Hope to get you down for walleye Friday. Bobber down is meeting me there.

Snagger, are you fishing beads with the pin or sacks? If you are fishing beads try snelling your hook to the leader. I'm finding a better hook up ratio and not losing as many fish.
-
Good to see ya got the rust off snag, came home yesterday to cut
trees, still got 5 inches of snow onon the ground.
-
Nice report snagger the ct crew will be in around 8 tomarrow night...u got me all pumped up if only i can sleep tonight.
-
Snagger:
Did you get that hot steelie bbing your pin? That's something i never thought about doing. There's def been days the float won't drop and you see the lead chuckers hooking them left and right.

try it shane. You will be come a believer. Hook always runs straight. Im sold on it
-
turned up/eye egg hook tied with a snell knot does work great....
-
Octopus style. Same hooks we run on the lake for tournament ties just not 4/0

Had a great afternoon with Dave yesterday. Met up with Brian. Fish all over . I know I missed the big run ,but there are still plenty of fish around. I was 2 for 5 in 1 spot. For me that is great. Light pressure too. 2 weeks I will be back.

Yep just starting swinging bottom with my CP, this 11 6 Raven is "deadly" for that, it aint no noodle, it's rated for 12lb. line.. Like using a 11 foot bass rod...
Went back to 8mm yesterday evening for an hour with 3 inches and went 4 for 6 in Altmar under floats. Probably could have landed the other 2 if others hadn't crossed me.. It's a 10mm thing, low water has something to do with dumping these fish too, I'm going to try the snelled thing if I go back to 10's, thanks for the input guys....fishin is "Hot" it's good right now... headin out soon.... fished behind 300 drift boats and 100 guys yesterday and I still hit 6 at sunset in Altmar, that's really saying something.
Had to get the machine going again....
sac bite down River has been great too... ;D

It seems like afternoons are better then mornings. I only hooked a king on a float in the morning. I wish I was standing were Dave was yesterday, when he saw that steelie inhale his bead. Wish I could have stayed longer. Gave my loomis a workout yesterday. That Trinion rell you got me works great. Good to see you guys.

Took a walk across the street again tonight for about 2 hours..Luck was not on my side tonight..only landed 1 for 4 steelhead on..much slower action for me then the last few days, but still good quality fishin........got 2 on beads and floats and 2 bottom bouncing white sacs... My buddy Dave hit like 7 for 19 in Pulaski today with the Cp , that might be where I head too tomorrow if I fish..Altmar's been especially crowded lately with the nice weather..Good luck if you go... :D

I didn't realize that there was another place on the Salmon River that operated like Douglaston..Little by little we are loosing our fishing...Won't be long and the whole river will be pay to fish at the Taxpayer expense....

Not really gone. The article indicated that the opposing shore is not private but public. So there is access available there.

Much better drift on Bruce Walden's side...better chance of landing them too. Give it time, someone with money will buy scholler's property.

Not exactly a walk inn da park to get there.
I almost stroked out a few years ago trying to Billy-Goat that embankment with a couple feet of snow on the ground.
Looks like it would be nasty bush-whackin territory during the warm months.
No well worn footpaths on that N side stretch.

Sounds like one of those Novembers we go straight from "Indian summer to snow on the ground. It's going to be low for sometime too come now. Lake effect might not save us now, unless it's a snowstorm, then it melts...River temp will drop fast if that happens.....

Shane, be up there tomorrow night w 2 friends.. your place on Friday w bob... hope we get a chance to fish with you.

Found this old picture...not to good, probably around 1958 or 59...it's me and my sister...I think my dad caught it, we use to go trolling with him along the shore of lake Huron in front of the house, we lived on the corner of the lake and a river that had steel in it.

Fished mid river today ,slow for me , managed one for two. On the cp with tiny bags . I was despite even tryed to bottom bounce with it . Like snag said . I couldn't figure it out . Switched back to the float with a blue bag and first cast nailed one .
-
We recieved very little rain this morning...We've gone almost 2 weeks with no rain..... creeks and tribs are at very low water levels for this time of year....Looks like an upper level low over Canada just might try and save us late tonight and tomorrow in the form of lake effect snow/rain bands off a warm Lake Ontario...We'll have see how it unfolds, the Tug could get a quick dump of snow if the bands stay put........very short event, then back to "Indian summer again...

By 1:15 pm today Gillripper1 was 3 for 10 on the bead with the CP. That's the report I received. No pics yet.
-
Got a late start (9:30am) and floated from Altmar to Pineville. Managed to get a few but the bite was definately slow for us. Saw a few brutes get landed but the overall consensus from the guys I spoke to is that today was somewhat slow. I tried sacks, beads, and pink worms. It was a nice day on the river though.

I took this week off from fishin Scott, been getting property work done this week for winter, today did some ice fishin research for this upcoming season.
I've had some guys here this week, not alot, but they are hitting fish...being the waters low, it's about timing, like in April after the snows done melting..
Drift boat traffic is at a peak and you half to plan your pool hopping accordingly if you fish upriver..down river is a little easier, but walking and access is tougher...If you think before you throw your line in, you'll hit much better numbers than just going to where you enjoy to fish.
My good friend Glen landed 2 this morning and said the guy next to him did 5 for 11 by 11am...had another guy yesterday land 5...not hot and heavy like 2 weeks ago, but it aint shabby..... ;D

I'll be calling you before I get up there and we can touch base. I heard you guys may have gotten some snow last night...crazy fall we have had with this weather.
It doesn't look like any significant rainfall in our or your future....but I hope that changes.

was snowing down here at a pretty good clip...on and off now.
was up at the salmon on Tuesday, fished from day break till around 1pm mid river. Was swinging flies with the two hander, running some floats and doing a lot of walking. seemed to be active fish in just about every spot that looked even remotely fishy. no bruisers but got to play with quite a few, even got into a nice coho, not huge....thought it may have been a big brownie the way it was fighting. had to play the skip around driftboat game for a while..but it gave me the chance to cover a lot of water.
had a little trouble with the camera...didnt realize that there was a switch on the SD card that actually locked it. Was going to take some pictures on tuesday, pulled the camera out and it said that the card was locked and I had now idea what that meant, and I wasnt about to open it up on the side of the river with wet hands.
pretty soon and some of us will be blazing a trail through the snow near the river or on the lake to get to our favorite winter spots.

Fished last two days, learned I definitely need new equipment. Just couldn't keep the line off the water, too short a rod and crappy old line didn't combine well. Yesterday morning was ridiculous fishing, for my buddy at least. He was about 10 for 25 or so when we left for lunch at 11:30. I added a big 0-fer. Afternoon was slower but still about 8 hookups combined. The snow and sleet sure didn't keep anyone home. Average fish size seemed smaller than the past few weeks.

I hear ya on bad line, I finally made a River appearance yesterday around 4pm, tried a spool of 8lb. p-line flouro clear...first 20 minutes had 3 solid hook ups, all fish shook there heads after a few good runs and snapped me off, went back to maxima ultra green, the next 2 were put on the bank....After all those people/boats beat Altmar to death yesterday, I was still able to go 2 for 5 in about 40 minutes....amazing..on the contrary Jona, my fish yesterday averaged around 11-12lbs, but getting very dark, looked like old chinooks...winter colors...glad you got out and enjoyed the river yesterday Jona...take care man.. ;D

Glad to hear you got some nicer ones! The average (he) landed was 5-6 pounds I'd say. A couple landed pushed 8-9 and maybe 1-2 snappoffs of 10 pounders. You know things better than I do, we never really moved more than 15 yards up or down river... there was a huge pod of them. Do they pod in similar size?? They only wanted one pattern though, almost everything else we threw was rejected. Despite the crowds, they wanted the particular pattern so bad a couple times I got hit within a second or two of hitting the water- in the afternoon. They're definitely getting dark though, one of the fish he landed was brighter but every other one was dark. Was almost tempted to head down river in the pm to see if any bright fish came in but it was too hard to leave fish to find fish.
Oh on another note I got my first colored up coho, pretty cool to see.

Well all my guys said they did really well this morning down low, so after doing some things here I took off for the staircase around 3 pm ...after a few stops I was fishing by 330pm.....wow it was pretty full, guys everywhere...looked like salmon season..... So I headed way down, fished floats in a couple runs til I got hung up, so switched to bottom bouncing this one paticular run, had 3 good hook ups, but was unable to landed them, walked a bunch, looking for an area without people .... finally found a area of boulders with no one in them..rigged my bead and float back up, set the float at about 2 feet and had anbsolute riot for about 45 minutes in the boulders, landed 5 for 7 more , and one atlantic... lots of jumps and good battles....really can not believe how many fish are present in this River considering all the people, it has to be a record, it's silly..

Well a lucky guy like yourself can pick and choose your time on the water ;) for the weekend/planned trip guys I feel bad... I remember quiet mid november days years back... the past ten years have definitely changed that; especially the most recent 2 or 3.... in a way it makes it slightly less appealing to me; heck; 3 years ago in early february there was a -15 morning and there were still 4 boats and about 25 bank guys in sight by the wire and school house... times have changed for sure...

Man back in the 90's if you seen 2 or 3 vehicles out my kitchen window in January, I'd say to my buddies , ah let's have some beers , wait til later ... til the people get out of the schoolhouse.... ;D
-
Yeah snag; steelheading used to be full of solitude; I started in 1990 as a young boy; the early/mid 90's definitely spoiled me in many ways...

Back in the mid 90's I floated from Altmar to P'ville with a buddy a few days before christmas. Saw no driftboats and about 6 folks...
I think the increase in people is because of a bunch of reasons. Obviously steel numbers are up bigtime, SAL-o-mon snaggers figured out they can snag steel to, steelhead with a bobber - "so easy a caveman can do it", most people like to blame the internet but im not so quick to do that...

It's strange, I started steelheading a year later than salmon, around 1979, I think I was in 7th grade in 1980, that was the start of my regular trips on just about every weekend for salmon and atleast twice a month for steelhead.. I lived in Ithaca, so the drive was only an hour and a half...all through the 80's there was only a handful of guys that did it (steelhead fished), the regulated flows came around 90-91, after that you saw a little bit bigger of an influx of people as lodges popped up like the 1880 house and fish on lodge and eventually the portly..
I practically lived at mikes place, even worked for him cutting fish in 91-92 because I was up here so much....., have great memories of staying at the 1880 house and drinking wine with I think her name was Dawn...well now I'm babbling..my point was, even after I moved here in 93, the steelhead crowds never really started growing til about 2004, . If you remember there was a big movement between 98-2002 when all the people were lake Erie/oak/maxwell crazy, even the guides went out there for that steelhead boom cycle on Erie like we are going through right now, this river was empty in those years, then came the computer and SC in 2003-04, your steelhead crowds have been growing ever since, and especially fast recently with the advent of mobile internet, fb , twitter and cell phones. I find it fascinating to look back through 5 decades of memory....it's been a fun ride... ;D

I've been running floats since I was a boy for lake run trout, whether up here or finger lakes, I had a good following of the late 90's center pinners at my lodge..early for this area.... So I don't know about the bobber thing DC, but the computer turned huge amounts of people on to the CP in the last 7-8 years, actually the bead in the last 3-4 years has made it so easy a cave man can do it, not the bobber... ;)
The lodges/guides used to have to work the big out of state shows like Harrisburg, now you just post a pic on FB, if I get up at 9am, by 9:04 am I know every fish that every guide has posted a pic of and DSr mutilple mobile internet reports has gotten by looking at FB, then I scan MFF, LOU and SC, then check 3 weather sites and all the gauges on the streams by 912am...is that crazy or what... That would have taken days if not weeks 6 years ago....and alot of gas and time.. ;D it's the computer,,,,,hands down DC..
In the old days my lodgers, freinds had to come back and tell me about a good run....or the people getting fish cleaned at my place would tell me about secret spots and I would relay it to my lodgers and vice versa..... ...now if a fish farts in Oswego county I know about it.. :w00t:

Snag - I agree on that part of the computer gig... but... if the fish were not there in the numbers they are, it wouldnt matter... ;D
Made my first "steel" trip up the river in march of 90. Fished the Trestle with my buddy and one other yahoo, saw one boat come by. Had read some in-fisherman articles about bobber fishing for steelhead. Rigged up my fancy new pinnacle noodle rod with a float and a tapered shot setup with a sack. About mid day after about 2,387 drifts the float dropped and I landed my first. I'll dig up the pict somewhere. Got another in the Sportsmans that afternoon. 2-2 was good back in the day, and real good for a newbie, lol...

Your right..... I got off subject, if the fish weren't here by the thousands like they are now, yes ... MUCH less people would be here..Like any great cycle, we are due for an off one and that season is coming. Man will Oswego river be crowded if this river went back to being difficult...after reading the stocking numbers though , this is more than just a great cycle, they litterally stock 100-150% more steelhead as they used tojust 10 years ago , add in a one fish limit and few wild ones and it should stay good even on off cycle years barring something bad happening to the lake ecosystem.

I agree buddy, even a down cycle, things will be good.
After catching my first two on that first trip, steelhead became a mythological creature that were hard to come by. Fished milliken for numbers and the SR for the unicorns... ;D

I made reservations at a motel near Elk creek in Pa on Erie, I'm thinking it was 1999 or so.... watched the weather, timed a perfect flooding dirty creek, woke to a perfect green drop...I caught like 70-80 steelhead, I mean landed ....... all cookies between 2 1/2-7lbs....on egg sacs and bobber. looked at my buddy Dave, are you thinking what I'm thinking?, yep he said.... too easy and too small , we left after only one day and came back to work for them at south sandy and this river.

Well, I like food and may or may not have eaten some food from there... :whistling:
Heres another old one Snag that rings true about the computer, reports, and flow. Went up "blind" like we did back then and arrived to i'd guess a flow of 2000+. Fished the Bend by your place and actually hooked one in the am. Then went down to the Sportsmans. First drift the bobber got hung up. Adjusted it and got this one on the next drift. And that was it...

There was a number back then to call nine mo ..., it's still in my moms phone number book...1/2 gate..full gate, no power production or flood stage..looks like flood stage.
Great older pic's DC, I wish I took more..only have a few kicking around..most got lost over the years....
-
need a cheap place to stay friday night. any suggestions?

I started really stealhead fishing in 93. I was in 9th grade. It took me until I was a senior in highschool before I landed one. It took me a yr to hook into one. Gueewhat it was on a sac under a bobber. Did it just cause I got sick of tying hooks on. In my mind back then steelhead were like a atlantic. You had to be really lucky.I had got them in oswego before that while salmon fishing but in the sr I really put in some time and fished alot of useless water before I got one. Internet makes things very easy. Not bad mouthing anyone but all these newbies you see now having double digit days owe about 60 percent of that to the internet and 40I to the stocking. Back in the mid 90's I never saw anyone except at the schoolhouse in feb. Id bet my last nickle they came from shanes

I don't remember the name but that's not saying I don't know him or didn't meet him. I can't remember where I was 2 hours ago these days :-\ ;D
I used to work the sausage shack on the weekends from Friday afternoon until Sunday evening and consume adult beverages when time permitted ! With the number of people that moved through town on the weekend, I could have met Elvis Presley and have forgotten it !
Frick & Fracks got a lot of our money :whistling: Loved it up there back then. The money we made pouring snag hooks was crazy ! Walk them across the road to Ron's shop and he'd drop cash in our hands ! The good old days for sure !

Yeah, Altmar Outfitters Lodge. Just ask for Shane aka SNAGGER. You won't regret it. I'll pm you the phone # now.

I remember many days driving up from Pa. and hitting the snow around Cortland and then slow going rest the way up..We always fished the area that the DSR has now and would never see another person all day long in Jan. Used to watch the weather as we got one Syracuse Station and when we would see that warm spell coming in Jan. it was time to head up..I actually liked it a lot better when there was NO internet as the anticipation was half the fun of the trip..Wondering if the water was up or even fishable..Now it's like Shane says everyone knows everything..Everything is about instant gratification any more..Nobody wants to put the time in to actually find fish like we had to in the 70's..I remember 2 guys working their way down stream back in 1974 and that was the first time i ever saw anyone using floats..They were the tiny pencil floats and we razzed them about using them.. they never caught anything on them that day and we were catching them bottom bouncing with flies..Oh yeah.. Shane i remember Jason.. Another name that i have not heard in years!! We used to go down to the boat launch by the Lighthouse and there would always be 2 kids down there selling snatch hooks 20 for a buck...They would go swimming all summer and collect them and them sell them back to everyone.. They always had five gallon buckets full of them!!
-
I have to agree with you griz... although I wasn't fishing in 1974; there was plenty of space and solitude from 90-97ish or so... now it is all about instant gratification; its as if the angler has lost sight of what fishing was really all about... not just the fish; but the experience and life in general... the anticipation and wonder/mystery is gone forever .... with that being said there is a piece of satisfaction that will always be lost for me when it comes to steelhead fishing... but yes; I do still love it...
-
Hey snag; mikes fish on was our spot through the 90s; my father took us up all year long with multiple trips a month. There were weekends where we never even got in the truck until it was time to go home... there were too many good spot in walking distance along with food as well... those were my good old days for sure...
-
Any body been around long enough to remeber the big flood of 1985? It dredged the town pool out something good. After the river dropped there were fish everywhere.

When we had our flood last year, the papers and internet kept saying it was in March of 85, but I could swear it was the week between christmas and new years of 84, my friends were up here, and I came up the next weekend... What I remember is how the river changed course in 2 places, first the ball park, the river always flowed on the weir(where they collected salmon before the hatchery) side over by spring creek, then it jumped over to the ballpark side from the boat ramp to eye of the needle side, never was water on this side...went to the flats that year(DSR now) and the big turn at the clay hole was dry and the river went straight and around the old river bed to the long flat pool where the school bus used to be just above the estuary.
And yes Griz man do I miss fishing the flats, estuary used to freeze over and we would watch the steelhead swim up under the ice as we were standing on it and wait for them to run that first set of rapids by the bus, man that was exciting in mid march..... early morning at the "silo pool in march and november were the best, best fishing I ever did.. park at josh's farm and walk across the field that is now the DSR parking lot.

Makes you wonder what's in store for late Nov.-early December, those early lake effect storms pack alot of water content in the snow, one or two good events then a melt and this River's back to 750....or we could go into an early snowpack and be screwed til the January thaw.... We'll see...I'll be betting the Lake will take care of us soon enough...... ;)
This is right around the corner, thanksgiving weekend last year.....
..lake effect should be explosive this year early on.

Got home last night from a great 3 day trip with fishgalore and COD (Gillripper1). Friday went on a drift boat trip with northwoods. Started out a little slow with only missing 2 fish by about 9:30am. Moved down a ways and between us me and fishgalore went i think 2-3. One fish was my personal best Steelie at 9.5lbs. Gorgeous fish and one heck of a fight.Then after it slowed down we moved a bit father down river tried a few spots and nothing. Then we went to our final spot of the day and man did we put a hurting on them. landed a couple more good fish and with bobs personal best to boot. 8.5lbs steelie. Went about 5 for 10 and bob went 3- 7. Great day in my eyes. Saturday morning comes and we try the staircase, was fishing with a few guys from the lodge we were staying at and what a blast i went 3-5 that day and every one was doing good. bob went i belive 1-4. chris went i belive no shure how many landed but he had a great day as well also everyone else we fished with did great. Last day and we fished the OZ and was a tad slow but nice day out. i went 1-2 on brown trout with the one landed being about 7lbs. It was a great and amazing weekend and great times all around. I wanna thank Fishgalore for taking me again and thank shane for the accomidations and friendship. Everyone at the lodge was great and i hope to fish with all of you again very soon

It was nice meeting you fishthefalls. Hey CNR keep an eye on those thunderstorms just southwest of Detroit Michigan , they are developing on a warm front just ahead of a cold front, that disturbance will be blowing through here this evening... I bet we get a good shot of rain this evening.

I remember crossing that field with 4-5 foot snowdrifts and wondering what in hell were we doing?? Bruce got the idea one time of taking a spade to break holes thru the ice and fishing thru them..You know how that went..But Bruce would try anything once!! And like you i would give anything to go back to those days!! maybe only got a few Steelhead a week but those still were the best days!!

Shane did u get my pm?
-
Got about 2 hours of moderate rains ..... dropped about .40 in my rain gauge, not really enough to get the tribs up much, but it will help the Redfield Res. none the less....wish we picked up a couple more hours worth like south of here, but I'll take it...did a quick walk across the street for an hour, much less guys, dead salmon are really stinking now baby...4 for 4 on steelhead with bead and bobber....
-
Looked at other rain totals for the evening in surrounding areas...Rochester .37 Syracuse .92 Fulton .44 Rome .94....very little rain up toward Watertown...

I wouldn't mind an inch of rain!!!!

How about a steelhead report you goons! :P ;D--KP
Hey Kp, I took 2 runs down with Markie, I litterally seen more steelhead with my eyes then I've probably ever seen, but since then, like 2 weeks, the fish have become stail , best word to describe them. They are everywhere, but they are very educated, lots of trickery needed to consistantly get good numbers....We need a water release , even if only for a couple days just to refresh things and erase there little pea brains a bit, there there, just need to use all your skills to find and fool them.

3 fenwicks? U see the gary roach ones? Has a pad that touches the blank. No more index finger pointing atriaght out up on the blank. Pretty slick idea. Lifetime Warranty
-
Went 1 for 4 in an hour with the pin today, a few hits in every run, but they'd get used to the color quick and shut off.

Haven't got a new PM since Oct. 10th. maybe its broken. ::) Maybe when I added you to my buddy list I hit ignore instead. whoops :whistling: Retired ? I wish. At least when I had my shop I new
what my schedule was. While you guys were talking it up for 4 pages I was down in the dungeon installing a new
gas furnace. Next is spackleing,wiring and so on. Then back home to try and finish up the farmhouse I've been
working on for years, in my spare time. LOL Yea well, I'll sleep when I'm dead. ;D
Seriously, it is great not to be tied to a schedule. It's nice to be able to drop everything and bail to the woods or water.

Those Fenwicks do look nice...I may have to try out one of the MH's.....when we fish on Sebago Lake in Maine there are lakers in there up to 15+ lbs caught regularly...not by me of course, but if/when I do hook into one of them, I want to have something that can handle it.

My favorite steelhead mount is at stonies campground, its a beautiful 25lber, looks so natural, not real shiny and fake looking , perfect green with light spots, but I think Dave Fish did it. I been trying to buy it off Mike for years, but he won't sell it... ;D

Redfield Res. is about 4 1/2 feet down.... needs to gain around 2 1/2 feet before a water release.
The rumors of a water drop, were just that, Res. looked pretty normal too me,
a little low for this time of year, but not extreme by any means.

I had to find my shovels from last year, Snow is heavy and wet, like pushing around wet cement...would have been great water for the Res. , but The "Tug" that drains to the res. got missed by this event........ too bad ...... alot of water content in this early lake effect snow......
you'll be hitting it good, should keep a few guys away.
Don't wait til dark, stop by after your first spot..I'll give a few things to try.

This Snow is heavy and wet lpv89 , like pushing around wet cement...would have been great water for the Res. , but The "Tug" that drains to the reservoir got missed by the heaviest snows in this event........about 3-4 inches around here, mostly graupel, not snow. My rain gauge looks like it has an easy 3/8's of an inch of water once melted, we'll see...that's about a 10 inches of snow to 1 inch of rain ratio...quite wet.... the ground is very warm and this snow is melting as fast as it falls, so there will be little change to the River flows or tributaries nearby, the snow should just gradually disperse into the water tables the next day or 2.[color]

I'm a steelhead junkie at heart. Salmon are fun, and they can ruin a lot of anglers. I was surprised to talk to so many people during salmon season that had never fished for steelhead, but haven't missed a run in years.
I'll be up first weekend in December. Bringing three noobies to the river, two of which have done the salmon thing, and one who's never fished the river at all. The story I write on that trip will likely be an interesting one, as one of the noobies is my own mother. She's an avid fisher-woman, but has NEVER gotten into anything like a steel head before. Should be an interesting time. I sure hope her first time there isn't a lesson in lake effect weather...

i hope so too! good luck to you. but the best way to learn to love it is when you hook into a monster during white out conditions

Looks like the snow is about ready to end and move north, hopefully it stalls over the "Tug hill for a bit before weakening.

Just took some snow measurements...yesterday my car had 4 inches on it at midnight...cleared it , this morning it had 3 more...so 7 inches of slop, but the grounds warm ..... only 4inches on the ground, with some standing water under it in spots from it's extremely high moisture content. If it warms fast enough tomorrow, could be an increase in the flows of Orwell and Trout brooks, not huge , but something. Also River temps will plummet with this snowmelt, could start making the bite more tricky....

Yesterday, i decided to pay the $45 to everybodies favorite senator. Only 5 cars in the lot at 6:30. Maybe a dozen at noon. I felt like i had almost the whole place to myself. I decided to beef up my leader to 8lbs as i had broke off a lot of hot fish the week before on 6. Had a good day! Lost a monster of a colored-up domestic bow down low at first light. Must've been 18+. Got her close to shore and she rolled and whacked the leader on a rock. Hot baits were blue bags early then glo-roe beads later. The fishing wasn't hot and heavy. Their was a front coming through with a little snow off-and-on all morning and into the early afternoon.. They would shut down for an hour or so and then you would get a 10-20 min window of action and then they would shut down again. I picked at them from first light to 2:30.

What a shame to see a fish handled like that in the video. Idiot.

did you bother to read the part where he said the steelhead were kept?
-
did you bother to read the part where he said the steelhead were kept?
Yep. I'm referring to the brown at the beginning of the video that was thrown on the bank and wrestled, gilled in the air to show off, then thrown back with no reviving. Also appears it was snagged, watch where he took the hook out of the fish. If you're keeping a fish fine do what you gotta do, I have no problems with the steelhead. If not, show it at least a little respect. I thought for sure it was going to be a kept fish which would be fine. That's exactly why there's so many dead steelhead and browns on the banks now. That fish is one of the dead ones now, despite him saying it swam away fine.
-

Ever fish creeks where no one fishes? Notice there are dead trout there too? Its called the rigors of spawning...especially the browns. The Brown but was back in the water in less than 30 seconds...
Lets face it, you wouldn't say anything to that person if you were next to them on the river, so whats the point in calling him an idiot now?

Actually, I HAVE! And will continue to. I use a lot more than idiot in person. Last week I confronted a guy that had a snagged steelhead right in the butt. He managed to stop it with his rope of line and bring it in backward for 50 yards, then started dragging it into a backwater area then onto rocks. I said whoa buddy what the heck are you doing? I told him to put it back in the water because a) I wasn't going to let him keep it, and b) there's no need to drag a fish on the rocks like that. I took my camera out and said either I report you, or you put the fish back in and release it. So yes, I will confront people in person as well as on here.
Kind of surprised and disappointed a person as respected as you would condone what he did... I'm assuming he's a friend of yours because I've never seen you handle a fish like that.

Yep. I'm referring to the brown at the beginning of the video that was thrown on the bank and wrestled, gilled in the air to show off, then thrown back with no reviving. Also appears it was snagged, watch where he took the hook out of the fish. If you're keeping a fish fine do what you gotta do, I have no problems with the steelhead. If not, show it at least a little respect. I thought for sure it was going to be a kept fish which would be fine. That's exactly why there's so many dead steelhead and browns on the banks now. That fish is one of the dead ones now, despite him saying it swam away fine.
u should watch the video again that brown was in no way wrestled it was confined hook removed and a camera shot then released the gills were never touched i know how to handle fish
-
nice vid lv, trap was that you around 4-4:30 heading back up stream toward the ballpark?
-
I just re watched the video...no wrestling, he flipped it on the bank quickly, as for the gils, close call . looks like he was holding it like I hold walleye, firm grip to the gill plate, the bone part...but without touching the actual gills...foul hooked with a bobber, it can happen, but highly unlikely last week, they were hitting good. my 2 cents Brian's a good man, I 've known him a long time, he knows how to fish , walk the river, and land fish, as for the steelhead and the other guys, they had alot of fun, there not salmon river pro's yet, but getting there and it was fun watching them have a good time..good guys as well ..... I cleaned those fish.
-
if your going to keep a lea-gel fish kicking it on to the bank when you dont have a net is better on your back 8)
-
Actually, I HAVE! And will continue to. I use a lot more than idiot in person. Last week I confronted a guy that had a snagged steelhead right in the butt. He managed to stop it with his rope of line and bring it in backward for 50 yards, then started dragging it into a backwater area then onto rocks. I said whoa buddy what the heck are you doing? I told him to put it back in the water because a) I wasn't going to let him keep it, and b) there's no need to drag a fish on the rocks like that. I took my camera out and said either I report you, or you put the fish back in and release it. So yes, I will confront people in person as well as on here.
hahahaha - yet another wanna-be DEC Deputy Dawg..
if I was nearby, I would have purposely snagged a fish, drug it, kick it, and gill it, then wait for you to try that stunt with me.
I don't condone snaggers, but I detest wanna-be's.
go donate some time in a soup kitchen before you get very wet...

Hey Jona, I tried to be nice about this, but yarn em in is really good friend of mine who I've fished with for over 16 years, he was fishing with a float and CP , meanwhile 20 guys with flyline were flossing and snagging all around him..one of those fly guys waded waiste deep into my run because I hooked a fish, then I proceaded to landed 7 for 10 while this guy frothed my water and covered the pool I was fishing with fly line trying to make it difficult for me to fish, I been fishing this River a long time, no one will out cast me or push me out of a run........... I beginning to wonder now if that guy was you, green flyline with a green strike indicator, this guy got zero, when the rest of us did 20.. If not lighten up man, your suppose to enjoy life man ....dig yourelf as I my hippie uncle used to say. :D

Don't worry snagger, I'm 100% cool with you. You're the one and only person that makes this thread useful. I get irritated when I see things I don't like, especially borderline illegal- if you look in the video, he takes the hook out of it's back. In such a case as far as I'm aware protocol is point the rod at it and break it off, or get it quick to you and remove the hook in the water. I WILL call people out on it, no matter how many people try to pull the tough guy act. If it's really worth it for them, go ahead and attack me on the river like the Mahoneys. If it makes them feel better, fine. I'm perfectly content with my actions. And no, you got the wrong guy. I'll never pretend to be a great fisherman, especially out there. People do and will outfish me, in fact in previous posts I say I suck. You know my buddy, he'll tell you how he makes fun of me for going away from the crowds to not interfere with others, but also just to have a little more room. If it means little to no fish, I'm perfectly content standing on the river. But like I said I will call people out on their actions and have before. And I won't back down to internet tough guys, or the same 7-8 western NY guys that do absolutely nothing but stir the pot.
If the guy deleted his videos, that's his choice. Judging by the comments on his video, I'm not the only one that had a problem with it. And don't worry you don't have to leave, I'm sure the "group" will conspire to get me kicked off for having an opinion that doesn't go with them, while I get called a d!ck, d bag, and other bleeped words. I realize I'm not in the in crowd.
For the rest of you I'm done, I said what I needed to. Go ahead and flame away, I'll get more laughs at so called sportsmen. I may/may not be out there Monday. Feel free to beat me up, if it makes you feel better.

If and or when provoked........ people respond............that means just about everyone. "don't worry I got pm's describing the types of people some of you are." Emotions can easily run high and especially when the fingers do the talking and no immediate consequences occurr. The mods can help here.
Jona.......don't believe everything your told...........make certain you test it out first.
I've got no beef if someone wants to call the DEC for something that is an obvious violation and especially if you tactfully confront them about it. Just remember, that the BS that's happening down at Penn State right now is happening in part because some didn't open their mouths when they should have done so.
SNAGGER, I like your style, very tactful and considerate. All of us can learn a bit from your approach. I've had some problems in the past on a girls youth fastpitch site with another ahole Dad. Violence doesn't solve the problem at all it makes it worse. I can guarantee that.............you hit me..............I do something back worse. Maybe not right then and there but eventually. Look at Israel and Palestine.
When an opinion about something varies and in this case it does (I didn't see anything wrong in the vid especially since I don't have a net and beach my own fish) IMO...... let it go. It's not a clean cut issue. I accidentally snagged a Steelie last Saturday in the dorsal fin. Most would likely have tried to break it off I guess but I wanted my fly back. It's one I tied. I fought the fish downstream (declaring a foul hooked fish was on) about 900' before I could beach it and get the hook out. Now some idiots might have thought:- look at this ahole fighting a foul hooked fish. But they had no clue of my intent and it really isn't any of their business. I let the fish go. If I had crossed the line and kept the fish and someone called the DEC shame on me not them.

thank you ;D I tail hooked a brown last week dragged it in and removed 3 hooks from its back :o
I think some of 'em sit in the runs a certain way that may induce foul hooking....seems like the ones that had hardware hangin...had multiple pcs hangin ::) I am not sure what makes people think that is better to break them off?
-

Some might believe you wear out the fish unnecessarily with the fight and potentially risk a failure to adequately revive the fish before setting it free. Hence, they would say it might affect the overall mortality rate.
The problem with that is you can have a single fish hooked multiple times (with the amount of fisherman on the river) in a particular day which can also affect the same mortality rate. I saw decaying Steelhead and Browns this year on the edges of the river. I don't know why for sure but some will speculate the reasons I already noted.

well, then those individuals that comprise the "some total" should have their OWS protest on the RTe 52 bridge - looking upstream, whilst singing Kumbaya, whilst firmly holding their crank baits...

I truely hope Lehigh Valley reconsiders the removal of his videos. It's a great loss for the site an well as the many
people he captured on film enjoying what they love. His stunning scenery shots and his eye for getting the perfect shot
are also a great promotion for a phenominal fishery. Guys, dont let one individuals perception of events unravel the great thing
going on here. Stepping down from my soap box now.

reconsiders ..... it's already done ,,,,, would take days to re upload those vid's that took 100's of hours to make.....I don't blame him one bit.

I try and get the fight over as quick as possible. Sometimes the fish flip around on rocks. But they all swim away like bullets. I think that's better than fighting a 6lb steelies for 15min like I see alot of guys do

Yup, especially with the high quality metals and coatings hooks are made with now a days. It probably takes d**n near forever for a good quality hook to rust and fall apart.
-
. Earlier this year I saw about a 17 pound steelhead get dropped on the rocks and immediately start bleeding from the gills in the DSR . Then I watched it swim away to a certain death, because the rules state C&R only. BTW..it was legally hooked. SO, wich makes more sense?

you talk to much son and listen to little .....you have a vile mouth on a family site and dare people to fight with you .... and your a sportsmen ???? i was flyfishing that river when your daddy was still having fantasys of his english teacher .... and another thing you never ever break off on a fowl hook fish ...what if the next guy legally hooks it and attempts to hand land it ....
but i make you a offer , no fighting come fish with me a few days and learn the river ethics , i'll introduce you to the locales and i think you'll have a much better time then fighting ..... you don't mind fighting .... you man enough to to fish with a old man and maybe learn ???? beating you up wouldn't make me feel better , teaching you to be a sportsmen and a gentleman would....... you can pm here ... the invite is for real and the open hand is one of friendship ..... you man enough ...of course if beating a old man up makes you feel better go ahead ,i'm sure i hurt myself worse then you can ...........lets go fishing

Why every 2 months must there be a argument about peoples ways of fishing. Always a opinion, and now a guy that loves fishing and is a awesome photographer has taken all his work down and probably will ne er post anymore of his pics. Stupid just stupid. Jonas I got nothing against you or what you do why call someone a idiot. Flash news fish are slimey and if you ever fished with any of us that are in the cool guy group( where you came up with that I don't know) you'd see that we land fish when they are still very green instead of walking them a mile downriver not reeling or holding it in the current for 10 mins. So when they get to the bank they flop around. The walked the fish back into the river and it swam away within seconds. Not cool what you started. You put lv over the edge. And my comment to you wasn't a shot more of a lighten up. But whatever what's done is done. But thanks for ruining all of robs vid memories

Uhhhhhh double standard isn't twice as right unless you're a politician.

However, I was called a dick, dbag, and other words that didn't make it through the site's sensors. Selective reading??? And then you have the nerve to make sexual innuendos on a "family site". I'd say that's more vile than idiot. Nowhere did I challenge anyone to a fight. I said if you want to beat me up, go ahead. That has nothing to do with fighting. However, I was told by a couple posters I'd get wet. More selective reading???
And no thanks on your offer. I know what kind of "sportsman" you are. I've heard the lining stories, fishing spots out, burning spots, etc. You've shown your colors on this site and others. You and your buddies keep trolling away on the forum. I'll continue to land and release fish properly without snagging, throwing them on the bank, gilling them, then flopping them back without care. And just as important, I won't defend those that do. Goodbye.

number 3 you love to judge people and rate them to your morality so lets go there ... first half the guys you just bashed are vets! and fought for your freedom ... abunch more have volenteered in the stocking programs and river improvement .... i'm sorry but i don't remeber you helping us clean the river last year or help carry fish????
and heres the most serious thing of all first your going to jump on the wrong person son and either get hurt or worse , or your going to get arrested for harrassment during a legal activity! ..... your a young blood and think you know it all but son your going down the wrong path
good luck and may God bless
ps add rude to your short comings son to talk to someone then block there reply is rude i ask you to go fishing as a guster of friendship ! ....

No, haven't got to fish much either been twice since I renewed my license, and those trips were just to get the kids on some mudsharks several weeks ago. I'm going crazy! Work the 4 letter word..... I'm in the middle of a new venture taking a regional startup from down south Nationwide. Spent the last week trapped like a rat in a hotel at confrences & meetings 12 hrs a day. Chores aren't done, plow truck is up on blocks in the garage, etc...... I freaked when I looked here yesterday and saw the snow.

WOW this site is getting ridiculous. Judge Judge Judge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe it hasnt happend yet but I would bet it has that Jona has spoke his mind to the wrong person... I enjoyed all the videos and I like showing my boy them, You dont like something, dont watch, you thinks its wrong dont show your kids, but why try to push your OPINIONS on others... It kills me how this site flows so smoothly except for a choice few. This internet is a cool thing, You could make your own forum if this isnt up to your standards. Thats my 2 cents.
So how is the river doin? I've been in the woods a long time now, Finally had a string of luck and got one with bow thurs and one with gun this am... TIME 2 FISH!!!!!!!

and heres the most serious thing of all first your going to jump on the wrong person son and either get hurt or worse , or your going to get arrested for harrassment during a legal activity! ..... your a young blood and think you know it all but son your going down the wrong path
good luck and may God bless
ps add rude to your short comings son to talk to someone then block there reply is rude i ask you to go fishing as a guster of friendship ! ....

No big surprise that the Deputy Dawg is associated with LOTAC.
Some of them lunatics encourage each other to get in the faces of other people and confront them - similar to the PETA types that interfered with game hunts in NJ in the recent past.
What's next with these losers? Sabotaging foot trails with spike strips to stab through the bottoms of felt wader boots?
The biggest joke is that they get wound up trying to "save" a commercially-exploited, man-made fishery that relies on hatchery fish, and relentlessly lobby to lower the creel limits so noone can keep any... Bunch of fools.
Trapper - you have a big heart offering to take the little Nazi fishing with you.
I, on the other hand, possess a zero-tolerance level for wannabe nitwits and would probably wind up chumming the chump.

Well its back to working on my snowmobile. I will be ready for ice this year. Hope it comes soon. See you guys on the ice. :tipup:

Hey Jona.....SC called, they want their village idiot back. OK, just kidding. The way I see it there are 2 factions on the river. The DSR Holier than Thou crowd that believes paying $45 dollars to fish the river makes them a step above anyone else that fishes the river. They hang out over on that other site....the one I'm banned from LOL! Then you have the guys on this site, who go out and do, have fun and because they put up numbers, have to be doing something wrong..illegal...or unethical. Not so, but because were all not sporting Simms waders, top of the line fly rods and reels and look like LL Bean poster boys we are somehow beneath them....well I say sit on it and spin. I enjoy this site, enjoy reading and sometimes posting. Keep on keepin' on and remember why we do this. It's fun and keeps our minds off other chit like work....family crisis....bills....ect ect. The time spent out there is a momentary vacation from the BS that life can throw at us. Be good......
-
hunter a little laugh ...i have a harding fly reel setting here , cost more then most of there cars ...... and a sage i tied myself .... like i'm going to use those on salmon river????? lol give me a st croix and a reddington reel ...i want hodgeman boots ,i want a hodgeman jacket (as in my thread lol ) i want a rocket taper line so i look like a masterful fly caster .,..give me the cheap clip on sun glasses ..... now let me get on here and post and burn spots ( all public fishing areas :blink:) .... i invite anyone to fish with me , anyone can look in my fly boxes ,i'll even toss ya a few flies.... i'll help anyone , any time ..... the reason ...i am a real sportsmen , i am a real flyfisherman .....

Trap, one of these days I am gonna meet you on the river and shake your hand, you are a true sportsman, some people on this site and others lol could learn a lot from you.

On that note... I wanted to make a fishing report, that snow and snow melt has brought the River temps down...they vary from the upper 30's in Pulaski to the the lower 40's up River... This has caused the easier bead bite to taper a bit, but at the same time has opened up other oppertunities, I had guys in the last 5 days start to pick steelies up on your tradtional winter time things like a half nightcrawler and pink worms... Egg sac's have been taking fish, after you have fooled your bead fish, only for the pink worm to grab a couple more after that bite slows...
I've had guys at the staircase, a bunch at the long bridge, head of the town pool, head of the big black, ball park riffles, papermill, but recently was forced to send people on big walks at places like behind the steelhead lodge, down to the glass hole and even the head of the snag as the refrigerator pools , bovines and some other more off the wall spots have gotten crowded lately.. That snaggers pool has been on fire, the turn above it(we call it the head of the snag/can) and the riffles 1/4 mile well below the trestle leading into the hemlock has been on a tear tooo.
4 years ago all my steelheaders would have been in that 1 mile stretch DSR leased from the property owners, what we called the lower and little black, but with that gone we've had to push more people upriver into tighter and tighter areas, all my guys atleast.......
The slow pools have been very slow and traditional long float drifts are gay and always have been, guys here who are the higher hookers have been fishing the oxygen rich head of pools or what I call riffles(any water that's waist deep, with white water leading to a boulder seam or micro tailout). I can talk about this now as most of my steelheaders are done for the year and once it gets cold everyone just comes to Altmar anyways. Even the DSR guys come slumming up river after there fantasy world freezes in..funny when Altmar sucks early on, we can't go there, isn't it great....as you can tell I'm still upset about my good friend being called an idiot..
Well the waters still low, so watch out for other jealous anglers, they are getting grumpy about the people who can hook fish regularly.
-
snag i think your friend was just tring to share a great fishing experance , and i would like to thank him for doing so .... next time he's up let me know i'd love to shake hands with the gent and maybe wet a line .... and that goes for you too old boy!

HEY K P JR. where u hidin ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

Wow! I don't check this thread for a week and I miss all the action. ;D
I'm sorry to hear LV pulled his vids, I always enjoy watching a little fishing action esp. since I don't get out as often as I used to.
I'm not about to jump up on a soapbox, but I would like to share my philosophy on foul hooked fish and stream side conduct.
When you are fishing where there are large concentrations of fish moving through you are going to foul hook some, nothing you can do about that. Am I going to bring that fish to the bank and remove the hook? Most of the time I do.
Brother if you have one fouled and want to tighten up your drag and snap it off go right ahead, I just prefer not to see a fish towing around 50ft of line.
When I'm out on the water, I'm out there to relax and have a good time. The only thing I ask is if I'm in a spot don't try to horn me out. Chances are if I catch a few and your standing next to me watching, I'll ask if you want to step in and fish while I take a break. I've done this more times then I can remember.
Try to be nice to each other people, the world is full enough of crap without having to deal with it when we are supposed to be out having a good time. 8)

I was joking. I can't line fish with my cp. Yes I've tried . never seen a spey guy hook a fly after the salmon run is over. seen fly guys hook them but not the spey guys. seen one guy that must of been shooting 60 yrds of line. pretty cool but i dont see the use for it on the east coast

Yep, why don't I see you there then? I got to drive like 38 miles to get there! Just bustin.........nice 1/2 day on the river.
Almost bumped into 3 bears in the afternoon while hiking with the wife...........had a scare..........if the dog saw them before we got a hold of him we might have had a BIG problem. They were about 100' away when I saw them. First, him, then me going in to help him. Momma would not have taken lightly our presence near the young ones. Also, good thing I can whistle loud!!

If my memory serves me correct it looks like last year around this time. It was either Pike or Lakers, that I forgot for sure.

Was that article you wrote for a blog or are you a outdoor writer?
I'm a journalism student. Started college back in 2000 when I graduated high school. Took a haitus to be in a band while working a sh*tty job. Got sick of not doing something more stimulating so I went back to school again to finish what I started. To answer your question I guess I'd have to say YES to both. I like to think of myself as an outdoor writer, but I do not get paid for it. When I'm not busting my butt doing homework I write my blog to stay sharp. I read nothing but outdoor literature these days, and write nothing (outside of homework) that isn't outdoor related. I would LOVE a job covering something outdoorsy, but I will probably settle for any old local news job upon graduation.

HEY SNAG, did you get a spey yet we got to take a pic of that in your hand!!!!!

The weather says heavy rain tuesday night into weds hope we get some!!!!!!

weird. went out this morning with a friend and he hit a nice brown with the spey rod. Just cause you got a spey rod doesnt make you a jerk fellas. I love fishing floats but fishing big flies with a double hander results in big grabs, end of story. If i've said it once I've said it a million times it's not a numbers game with the spey rod you're hunting the most aggressive fish...anybody can take a float and some beads or bags and hit fish. but it takes time and patience to get one with the fly rod...some people just dont have the time or patience to give it an honest shot. This isnt a knock on float fishing...it's just different, more effective most of the time, and easier.
-
We were just bustin balls Erney as some people are getting uptight lately... my negative remarks are done, I switched too walleye now, I'm in my happy place... :D Have fun boys, that's what is about.
-
i have a few questions about spey rods i personal don't care what you fish with as long as you fish but why the need ...i fish salt water and i have never seen a spey rod used ? and those flys are epoxy and really heavy and distance is a must ..... don't get me wrong if you like a spey rod it's all good with me just wondering why one would need one????
and ernye were you fishing on the east side just above the dug out?

Not a spey fisheman... but they were made to facilitate long cast with little or no back casting room. picture a big river where you have to make a long cast but there's trees directly behind you.
-
I have never tried one myself. But, if I remember correctly a good friend of mine who is an accomplished spey fisherman has told me that it is a lot less work and less tiring over the course of a day fishing using a spey rod compared to a fly rod. Also lets you achieve a very long cast in tight quarters. Of course I can't confirm, but the source is very reliable. Maybe someone else can provide a comment on the benefits of a spey rod vs using a conventional fly rod.

thank you guys! bb4 we should hook up river is full of fish ;D
now i had another great day .... and so i decided to cook !

5 of us...have fished Bovines, Papermill, Trooper, Sportsman, upper and lower Sandy....6 total fish in 2 days. Today 2 small 16" caught between the 5 of us. We have used beads, sacks, worms, and flies.......nothing worked....Almost no hookups either...I'm assuming the 20 degree drop in temps have really shut things down for today. Really hoping tomorrow gets better.....if anyone wants to PM me with some advice I'm all ears.

i have a few questions about spey rods i personal don't care what you fish with as long as you fish but why the need ...i fish salt water and i have never seen a spey rod used ? and those flys are epoxy and really heavy and distance is a must ..... don't get me wrong if you like a spey rod it's all good with me just wondering why one would need one????
and ernye were you fishing on the east side just above the dug out?
Sure was.
spey casting is just a way of casting...you can "spey" cast with a single hander. The longer rod helps with a lot of things...increased distance, increased line control. Depending on what type of line you're chucking a double hander makes using sink tips a lot easier...and size of the flies you can throw with a double hander can range from nymphs to huge dumbell eyed intruders. A single hander just doesnt have the mass in the line itself to turn over some of those big flies....without a super chunky false cast, and roll casting a sink tip and a big fly any distance with a single hander is just...well if you've ever done it you know what i'm talking about. You can chuck a 100ft cast with 12ft of sinktip and a huge fly with a double hander with your back against some bushes, literally.
Really the only reason I use it is to turn over the flies I like to fish. If I'm going to indicator fish it's going to be with a pin...and I save high sticking for summer time trout and gills.

weird. went out this morning with a friend and he hit a nice brown with the spey rod. Just cause you got a spey rod doesnt make you a jerk fellas. I love fishing floats but fishing big flies with a double hander results in big grabs, end of story. If i've said it once I've said it a million times it's not a numbers game with the spey rod you're hunting the most aggressive fish...anybody can take a float and some beads or bags and hit fish. but it takes time and patience to get one with the fly rod...some people just dont have the time or patience to give it an honest shot. This isnt a knock on float fishing...it's just different, more effective most of the time, and easier.
It's a bit different approach but you can float anything you are swinging on the fly rod or spey rod. That includes big articulated flies. I landed a nice Brookie on a golden stonefly on Saturday under a float. Just sayin

I watched a group & fished next to them last year in Altmar (late Oct or early Nov) while they were being instructed. I think 4 students and the instructor. Many guys on here would know his name (the instructor) if I described him (Tightlines here in NJ knows him well). Anyway, I was able to mimic to some degree what they were doing with my 8 wt. fly rod. The technique is not hard if you know what to do (I don't but was able to try and follow with some success). It's impressive to watch any skilled fisherman use their skill in the pursuit of some solitude and fish action on the river. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

you could float anything sure....i use nymphs a lot during the winter on my pin/spinning gear. the difference comes in the take from the fish....a take on a swung fly is just in a different category than take on a dead drift. It's like comparing float fishing to bottom bouncing...I know a lot of people who can float with the best of them but they just get that itch for the take on a bottom bouncing presentation. Same with the swing....once you get a couple grabs it's tough to compare it to anything. It ruins you.

-Scott what kind of water are you fishing???? a little bit of advice look for the moving water they are not set up in the slow stuff yet!!!!

You definitely "feel" the bite alot more when nymphing. I'm just a beginner with both the CP and fly rod. I had loads of fun this year with the fly rod and basically got schooled with the CP. By that I mean my success rate with the CP isn't even close to the fly rod. But I'm learning both and fished both methods yesterday for equal time. 1-2 on the CP and 1-1 on the fly rod.
Gillripper1 used a LARGE articulated fly he tied at the bovines a couple of weeks ago and some BIG boys slammed that thing. The bigger the fly the bigger the fish is what you'll see in most cases. Maybe next year I'll swing some bigger ones too.

i would like to check one out however i can threw 1/10 clousers for strippers and blues i can't picture tossing anything that big for eastern steelhead ....and a swing strike is different but if you nymph fish with a strike indicaator your float fishing ..... i'll look for you guys dwn there ernyes i'd love to check it out .... to be able to cast distance with bushes behind you thats impressive

Same with the swing....once you get a couple grabs it's tough to compare it to anything. It ruins you.
x100 ;D
We swing wets on the Delaware system and nothing is better. The grab and that first moment of hookin-up is priceless.
Similar to to what your doing Ernye but with a 5wt and 12-24 inch browns and rainbows. Most of the time we are fishing floating lines and no weight. Just love the clean-ness of it all. Some guys stand around all day waiting for a rise, I'd rather stay on the couch. And im sure I could put up big numbers nymphing, but just dont enjoy it as much. Glad everyone is differnt though...
Congrats to what your doing, you certainly have worked at it. Reading the water and presentation is an art and a science...

just wanna say thank you to Shane for the great hospitality at Altmar Outfitters Lodge. and we couldnt have asked for a better weekend being it was our first true steelhead trip to the Salmon from WNY. Sean, Nick, and I collectively went 9 for 20. i went 5 for 10 Sean 4 for 7, and Nick 0 for 3
Time for the pics ::) ::) ::)

Fishing went from about 2 to 4 on Friday night with me and sean both going 1 for 1 which were the little guys
Then Saturday we fished a middle river pool and thats where we did our damage. I remember when the drift boats started coming by and one captain asked another that was on the far bank if they were getting fish and the guide said not us but those guys are. at that point i was 3 for 5 in 5 casts. all one beads and sacs. all our fish came from one or the other.
It was by far one of my favorite fishing weekends of all time.
sorry for the lack of photos a lot of the fish were extremely tired after the battles so a quick release was prevelant

Thanks Markie....gonna try Oswego tomorrow.
I'm pinning, so I like the faster water runs anyways Mark. Just have had any luck. I got 1 20" yesterday, small one today. One of my crew caught a monster at one of our stops. I'll post pix later, but everything else we have caught have b een 20" or under.

Always great when a plan comes together, yep it was a tricky weekend to say the least..., but you boys prevailed.... After I quit drinking 4 years ago and found the computer, you were the very first person I talked to on MFF, it was really great finally meeting you lpv89... The pleasure was mine man....good times!!!! ;D

Check your PM's Scott if your fishing this River...can't go wrong with the oz though....much easier than this river....good luck man.

Rain, finally
"A quiet start to the day across central New York as high pressure moves off the East Coast. Things, however, will change later today. Clouds will thicken through the midday and afternoon and we’ll see rain around here Tuesday night. The rain that falls Tuesday night will be occasionally heavy, with rainfall amounts of 1-2” possible. "

;D

do most of you guys cp or fly on here? just curious it seems more and more people are using cp's these days... Is it considered a fly rod? Just confused about the whole thing haha and how are they hittin on flys up there haven't heard much lately... I will be up in Jan and it seems forever and a day away :-/

We are going to need a solid inch of rain just to get the Res. back up to normal...today is Nov.22nd, we actually run the risk of not having a water release to flush the dead salmon away before winter...been a while since that happened.
17.4 degrees this morning..only hit 37 yesterday...River has to be cold today..noticed that lake the other side of williamstown was skimming over yesterday on the way to Oneida Lake.

Seems we are entering mild La Nina - which generally gives us warmer temps, less snow...
Then again - who knows, long range forecasts can be a crap shoot. The one advantage we have is the Lake is still above normal in temp

They are calling for a close to an inch of rain...but boy we are going to need every bit of the inch just to do something probably still won't be enough to make the creeks out west any better.
-
I try not to look at accuwrong much , ;D we had a very cold last winter which was a la nina winter...so who knows... time will tell.. I know my ice is running the risk of being late.
You seem to like looking up weather patterns CNR, yesterday we had north...northeast winds while I was walleye fishing, I knew a storm was forming just on that note, but that's a bad wind, it cools lake ontario down rapidly and without the benefit of lake effect precip, I hope we don't fall into that pattern and waiste all that good warm water.
looks like these guys were out in those winds. http://www.9wsyr.com/content/news/breakingnews/Body-recovered-in-Sandy-Creek/MWnvaGiG30-dkMFeFjcCDg.cspx (http://www.9wsyr.com/content/news/breakingnews/Body-recovered-in-Sandy-Creek/MWnvaGiG30-dkMFeFjcCDg.cspx)

Supposed to be back up in the Low to Middle 60's again towards end of this week..I just wish it would either get cold or stay warm.. man my Arthritis is killing me..It doesn't have a clue as to what to do...Guess i should have had that Knee Replacement this past Summer!! Snagger you home most the time?? Am heading over that way next week and wanted to bring you some of that Carmel Apple Butter i made...

I just checked dewpoints... Weather underground says Altmar is 13 I think thats wrong, but Syracuse is 28, so once the rain starts, evaporational cooling will kick in and quickly change it all over to snow everywhere...no one seems to be picking up on this factor.

Just barely started dropping from the sky - light...it's rain. Temp reading here at 38-40. I think the upper layer temps are high enough that it's going to stay as rain around here - you will probably get a couple inches on the front and backsides up on the river.
Anyway, looking good on radar. Excellent gulf connection funneling up a lot of tropical moisture. We could get a nice thump of rain

Forgot about warm air aloft, that's why I'm not a meterorologist....should be some sleet then too.....look at this radar, look how the precip expands as it approaches, signs of a well developed storm and getting stronger as it aproaches, good mamattus clouds at sunset. I'd say an inch is a shoe in.

It's already raining hard way ahead of the storm...lookin good...This could be the storm that gets this river going again.
These yellows over us developed in place in the last 15 minutes...good sign of things to come.

Been getting hammered with heavy rains for the last 3 hours....this is the storm we have been waiting for all month...whether we get a water release or not or when?.... doesn't really matter ....the tribs should be pumping enough the next couple of days regardless, jump starting the steelhead fishing down river first, then upriver...
Plus we are going into an unusual indian summer period as well... how nice would it be too fish your favorite creek out west for browns/steel, hit the oz...hit your favorite creek for steelhead around here or fish this river at 750cfs and be sunny and 60 degrees....heaven....everything is lookin good for central ny. ;D...... ;D

that would be excellent
-
Just checked to see how much rain we got.... 1.7 inches.... any other year that might have caused some flooding, but this year being so dry, it should just about get us back to normal..I would expect the River stays at 335cfs, being the Redfield res. was so low, but you never know..regardless, ... I see pineville's gauge is already headed for 600 cfs from runoff, so it will get things rolling no matter what.. it was a very cold rain, 36-38 degrees, so don't expect big pushes of steel, just some re shuffling of the ones already in the systems and some bonus freshie's...probably have to wait a few days when it really warms up to see new movement of steel in our other favorite tribs. ;)

Man....The Landlocks and browns sure are fun though.... Jason pointed out how many LL's have broken and torn jaws.... must be the ones that get off on the lake really damage themselves in the process...

Tell LV I said hi. My wife is yelling at me for wanting to do a red eye run Friday. ::)

My buddy Rui and I fished out west past Rochester last Sat/Sun and caught a few browns, and about 8 steelies. Decent, but not on fire. Sunday afternoon we went to SR and I went 1 for 2 in about 2 hrs.Monday we fished mid river and did ok. I think I was 4 for 5, and rui went 0 for 2. Tuesday we did great mid river! between the 2 of us we were 8 for 13 by 11 am. Always on the last day! On the last cast of the day, I got a solid 15lb chrome male. What a beauty! I really concentrated on the bead and float this week with great results. Thanks to Shane(Snagger) I got a good education on how to rig with a float. We stayed at Shanes as well, and enjoyed a wealth of knowledge and some great hospitality.Pics to follow

Hey it was really nice meeting you Anthony...I knew when you put your steelhead rod on the rack and it had so much dried egg juice on it you couldn't tell what brand of blank it was..that you had been around the block a few times. Your loomis looked like a boston red sox batting helmet. ;D Pretty impressive, so were your numbers, fishin was tough the days you were here...Couldn't believe you said you had stayed with the great Bruce walden's lodge years ago...glad I could give you a few pointers...Hopefully see you on the ice....Hope you and Rui have a great holiday man... take care . ;D
-
Same to you Shane. I definately want to come up for ice fishing. Happy Thanksgiving. Creeks must be cranking today. All those creeks where we were will be good . This will be a big push of browns and steelhead out there. The browns were all loose when we were there.

Went fishing with my buddy Rob this afternoon, he let me where his extra stocking foot neoprenes. Actually they weren't as cold as I thought they might be...Descent amount of people around considering it was thanksgiving, but after a little driving, we found of spot no else was fishing, fished a little over 2 hours, I landed 6 for 14 running floats...3 on sacs and 11 on beads, reasonable action, fish were nice and bright ... but all cookie cutters, no big ones.. Alot of fun, Rob came up with a contraption where he mounted his camera on a hat, I wore it on my head for 8 minutes and filmed 2 of my steelhead taking the bobbers down, pretty cool stuff..Nice day out, I had fun as always, guys here did well today all over.

Got insomnia, so got looking at the weather sites, very warm weather for the next 3 days, then a rain event sunday night, with it being so close to this last rainfall and not a cold rain this time, a real steelhead bonanza could be in the making for early to mid next week.

Slow down low early yesterday morning. Fished longbridge and staircase. Then shot up to 2a. Didn't seem like anybody was doing anything. Took a ride to grindstone, heard it blew from the rain. Hit up a couple spots and didn't do anything. Ended up at selkirk and fished the mouth. My buddy hooked a ratty coho and a small bow floating jigs in the frog water.

Happy Thanksgiving to ya. You may not know this but about 10 pages back LV deleted all of his vids. Someone didn't like a thing or two and all hell broke out over it. So he deleted them all and won't be posting them anymore. I'd bet they might be able to send it to you via a pm. Check with Shane on that.
Cheers and enjoy those ice encampments fit for a King! ;) That's the wildest most prepared set up I've ever seen! :o :bowdown: :clapping:

Fished the Salmon River with my buddy brian this afternoon ..yarn em in on here ...All I can say is crazy stuff, an absolute clinic today, fish were hot and hungry, I ended up landing 13 for 21 in 3 hours on floats with the CP, all good battles, no on and offs today...one giant one around 16lbs I released and a loose domestic around 11 lbs I kept... At sunset I actually got bored of fighting them and left..Really great day.....I think Brian went 11 for 22 for the day, he was a destroyer today. ;D

Fresh chrome...When I backed up to land this one ...... steelhead were moving up the rapids like they do in September..it was a bonified run, not just holding fish. They were moving , mid river should be good tomorrow.

Hey Shane....look in the middle of that pic of the staircase!! That was Jr. and I fishing just before sunset. I looked downriver at one point and thought maybe that was you chasing a fish down, heading down river!! Strange...never saw you there!! Quite a few fish in that run though!! Guys behind us taking a picture of the fish one of them caught, we help net that one !! I have a yellow hat on and Jr. has a dark blue hat on just above the guy in the blue jacket. Certainly were alot of guys fishing yesterday!! FISH ON!--KP 8)

Hey it is you guys. darn if I'd of known that ... I'd of come up to say hey..shoot... ;D
I love fishin all parts of the River, just I live in Altmar so tend to fish here more.. I sat around here for an hour after I did a drive to figure out where to go.. A guide on facebook sealed the deal, he was posting a pic every 13 minutes of some bomb chromers from the upper DSR, it looked like a bonified run, so we cut em off at the staircase...the plan worked, LV was there earlier and said it was slow, I told him not too worry they'll be there in the afternoon, 60 degree weather got them moving.
Today could be the most crowded I've EVER seen the River outside of Salmon Season. I'll have to take a drive to find out...
-
Yep it is you little blurry, not taken with the Nikon. Those fish are half way to Altmar now, they were hustling.

I'll tell you what joe ...... the fishin was tough up til this rain .... alot of thought has been put into my spots and the guys staying here lately, cold low water is a bad combo......sounds like you were in between runs right after that cold rain , it happens... this unusual warm weather will have any and all fish for this fall season on the move the next 2-4 days, this is it.......we are set up nicely for the winter now, I was worried last week, but it all worked out as it usually does..

Got my 1st on the bead today with Deadeyes in Altmar ! What a show that fish put on 4 jumps in about a min. Also helped a nice old feller land his 1st ever not bad for about 45 mins. of fishin . Beautiful weather has the crowd out in full force and the fish a lil skittish . Good to see ya Snag. thanks for the lesson ;D
-
Snag - I see Tanks rock in that one pict... :whistling: :whistling: ;D
Actually pre flood there was a rock there that was perfect for him to sit on while re-tying. You could sit down without someone trying to jack your spot...

Had a feeling they would be coming up through...but guess i was a day early.

The late season epic steelhead streak continues into day 3.....This has to be the best I've seen in years considering the time of year ..... it's really impressive how many steelhead are present in the river right now... I got out for 3 hours again tonight, my numbers were down a touch from yesterday, but still banner in it's own right...I did 7 for 13, I had many friends with me this afternoon in the runs, so we shared the fish tonight, I bet they did over 50 maybe 60 together all day ..
To put the fishing into perspective, almost everyone staying here did double digits at all ends of the river today. That never happens....One guy staying here in the lower fly did well over 30 today, it's just incredible, no one had a bad day, even with the records crowds....all chrome too .never seen anything like it....wonderful time to be alive like KP said, these are the good ole days right now ..........The fish were so shiny today down river where I was , it was awesome stuff...had an absolute riot again....good luck if you go. ;D
-
Thats okay DD and Deadeyez, Kp sr. and I didnt wanna go! ;D Glad to see you boys got out and had some fun!
Almost stopped by on my way up but I had a hunch you and pops would be in the woods , couldn't call and check cuz i'm waiting on a new phone to come in the mail . I did mention to you're dad that I would be going and would like to fish with you guys tho ::) Lookin forward to fishin with you soon tho JR.

Mark - you should know that people never feel like they are getting the most out of their chest waders unless they are up to the labels in them....I feel the same way as you though....if we had 500 or 750 it wouldn't be such a big deal, but they always seem to be standing right where you need to put your boat to get down through....

I usually fish a 6 or 7 wt but I just picked up a TFO Lefty Kreh BVK 9' 8 wt is this going to be overkill? I realize that I might lose some action as far as feeling the bite, but what do you guys think?

I felt that rod at All season's, I almost bought it... 9 foot 8wt is pretty much the river standard. Most guys I know run just a slightly longer rod like 10 foot.. my favorite is a 10 foot 7 wt. but every company has there own version of weight..a cortland 10 wt is like a st. croix 8 wt, if it feels good ..... use it, I think you'll like it. My buddy just sold me a 9 wt 10 foot lamiglass, can't wait to try it.

thanks, I read up on the rod and it seemed for the price it would be a solid tool in the arsenal..Ya I usually fish an 11' so I wanted to get atleast a 10' but I was being impatient haha... That lamiglass is going to be sweet let me know how you like it.

See ya in a few weeks Yarn um ;D
-
had a great weekend at Snaggers...lots of fish, lots of laughs, lots of fun. thanks shane!! BOBBER DOWN!!!
-
snag nice seeing ya buddy ..... 2 above the bridge then i left
-
Hit the lower end tonight, big dumpfest, fish were in a funk for some reason , 2 head shakes or a run towards your feet and fish off, went 3 for 13 in 2 1/2 hours ....alot of bright fish still.... River's headin up a tad tonight to 500cfs, add the run off from 3/8's of an inch of rain today and she'll be well over 800cfs down river tomorrow... nice!!! ;D
-
Spent the day up at the river today...fished above pineville. Morning bite was the best, but saw quite a few fish moving throughout the day. River really needs to go up to wash out all the dead salmon...it was really ripe in some spots.
This fish absolutely hammered this fly...

I couldnt fish up there for a while.... I puked in my mouth a few times !! Couldn't get to fresh air it was so thick!! :sick: :sick: :sick:
-
i hear tell altmar outfitters has the best coffee around that area ;D snag you fishing this afternoon?
-
Snaggerz coffee IS good. I think he brews it with egg shells to neutralize the acidity. :D
-
Hey erney nice fly and nice catch... its good to see that some guys are getting them on the swing.... that one looks like fox hair; dyed mallard and some chartreuse marabou spun around the shank.... plus tinsel; I particularly like the segmented body; I imagine that thing looks alive in the water while the fox hair keeps it plump when wet rather than sloppy.... nice tie man; i'll have to try it myself....
-
actually its deer hair...but right on otherwise. Havent been able to find fox hair at all seasons and I have to admit I havent looked anywhere else. Give it a shot man let me know what you think or get any grabs.
-
Ok; took a closer look and see it now; looks as if you spun that deer hair....awesome....
Question: are you using lead or sink tip to get that fly down since deer hair has a tendency to float???? Or are you being bad azz and skating it right below the surface???? Either way; right on man....
When I get some time im gonna try at that one myself; I have plenty of fox hides so I may try it with the fox rather than the deer.... tight lines
-
Got out a touch earlier today to try to get a little more fishin in than 2 1/2 hours, but dropped my smokes in the river and had to walk a half mile then drive to get another pack, so fished 2 1/2 hours again.... Fishing was absolutely explosive, went 9 for 19.....the last 6 days have been some of the best action I can rembember in some time...unbelievable, no on and offs this afternoon, fish are getting hot with the river temps rising with afternoon temps in the mid 60's today.....Fished with my buddy Jerry and some other guys...Jerry did 8 for 12 as well....... After this evenings 58 degree rain, runoff and a bump to 1000cfs could slow things down a tad for us walkers, or maybe it won't, we'll see...a full force run will definetly be in progress and it will be a drift boaters dream come true....time to hit my high water spots and try to cut off the epic steelhead runs of 2011.
Oh on a side note, this is how well they are biting...all 9 fish I landed either had an egg sac, bead or hook in it's mouth I had to remove as well as mine...insane, thought I was fishing the Genny or something.
-
Looks like I'll be up in the morning ;D Seems like the water hasnt been up in a while.
If I'm running an unweighted fly, in most cases I'm running tips. Really depends on the fly and water though. This spring I'm gonna try and fish some foam bodied poppers..tried it a bit in the fall but not really enough to say I had a good go at it. I've had my fair share of fish take a poke at my float so I figured I'd give it shot.
Still raining here
-
Wow , great numbers Snag! I only tangled with 4 ...... did have a epic battle with a huge cromer in the ballpark just before dark wrapped me up in the tree by the stairs and then she was gone . I'm def. gaining confidence in the bead colour didn't matter today I tried em all and all worked just gotta get the depth and weight right . Yep the river took trapper's net right from me today along with you're smokes she was a greedy old girl today .

Trapper...them beads don't work! ;) Glad you finally gave them a go!! ;D
-
I love to fish , and to see friends catch fish what can I say ;D We are truly spoiled here with a world class fishery , that 2nd fish you hooked jumped what looked like 4 ft out of the water really got the blood pumpin for me :o
-
bazook i'm a very honest person and i did give them a honest shot and i will again but of the 3 hook ups one i couldn't tell where it was hooked the second was fowl hook the 3rd was on the outside of lip..... now i keep records lol have for many years .... i will honestly compair amounts of fowl hook ups to legal hook ups .....so far nothing gets more legal hook ups then eggs or a worm!!!!! .... i do know i seen one fish flash and the bobber went down .... of course i have never ever fowl hooked any fish while using the fly rod ;D but i really did have fun and thats what counts .....

Looked like an olive green sleek tarpon, it was a rush!!!! :w00t: like anything trap, you know... you will foul hook fish, but they are trying to eat them.

well he had to come for it i seen the flash before the bobber went down .........this will need alot of investigating!!!!!!! think tomorrow i'm bringing the flyrod down too
-
omg trapper you still think we are lining these fish with floats
-
Every fish I have ever gotten with the bead was in the mouth , and today they were really slammin it . I wish you got a look at the last one I hooked in the ballpark Trapp :o

you know i watched you for a minute and headed to dunkin dounuts to get coffee thinking watch dot will rock a lunker chromer =)) glad ya got a piece of one!
adam today was the first time i fished a bead period! one fish i never seen , second was fowl hooked 3rd was on the outside of lip ..... do i think people line fish ..... i think ya could easily i watch them do it on salmon all day and you know it's true (again if were talking honestly) ...do i think YOU or any of the real steelheaders do it ....not on purpose no ..... is the rate of fowl hooks higher ...i honestly don't know i only fished them one day ..... BUT the fish i did fowl hook came after the bead! i seen the flash ( i even said that when i first hooked up)..... i'll mess around with it and check journals from 1977 and come up with a opinion ! right now my opinion was i had fun and we laughed and screamed like high school kids ....
but i'm positive the fish took my net and snags smokes :rotflol: :rotflol:
-
last year at the wires I tried for a half hr to line a big male. I couldnt do it. maybe with a 6mm bead but not with a 10
-
That they did ;D
-
Glad you wernt mad about the net trapp , I felt like a d-bag .
-
Trap.... fish the bead with the Bobber as if you were fishing for gills in the current. there is no dought in my mind that that fish are going after it. yes of course you will have fish hooked outside the mouth at times and also major foul hooked fish at times.(that is very seldom though) JMO

Dude ! Great looking fly :thumbup_smilie:
-

Adam's right ... 10 mm beads act as a deflector, I did the same experiment 2 years ago, tryed to line a fish on purpose to prove to myself I wasn't lining fish..it was almost imposible ...8 mm's .... it will line em just like flies or sponge. all my fish today were in the corner of the mouth, but I get quite a few on the chin or in the face, it happens.....
-
Glad you wernt mad about the net trapp , I felt like a d-bag .
it's was no biggy man you were helping me i left it!!!!!
ht i believe the fish goes after it ! i said that ...i don't know if the fowl hook rate is higher ... no big deal guys ..... hey adam you did prove one of my points thos if you floated that bead in front of that salmon for a half hour and no responce i I TOLD YOU GUYS IN AUGEST THEY DON'T HIT !!!!!!! :rotflol: :rotflol: :rotflol: :rotflol

boy adam you walked into that one son .... i need another beer
-
I think I can count on one hand the amount of fish I've foul hooked running a bead the last couple of seasons....the main reason of running a bead is to keep that hook outside of the mouth to reduce deep hooking.
-
it was a steelie

Hooked on the outside of the mouth is still the mouth. Ive only been fishing the CP with beads for a little over yr now. So Im no expert but Im no dummy either. But what Ive learned is the further away from the bead the hook is the less on offs, but more lost fish after the hook up. I was dropping alot of fish 2 weeks ago ( 9 in a row) so i went to about 3 1/2 inches from the hook, started getting them on but would lose them after a minute or two. 10 yrs ago i would put alot more research into it but now im just passing time til ice. The snell knot is something everyone should try though. Sometimes the hook just pulls out especailly on those soft mouth browns

....fished up river today, it was beyond silly. The warm temps and the bump in flow did the trick. Fish were big and plenty of fresh chrome in the mix. San juans, buggers and egg patterns work for us and day. Oddly enough the bite slowed down around 3 and stayed that way until dark.

Foul-hooked means not hooked in the mouth.
thats pretty cut and dry esox ! in the moth means in the mouth
http://www.eregulations.com/newyork/fishing/general-regulations/
Foul hooking
All foul-hooked trout, lake trout, coho salmon, chinook salmon, pink salmon and landlocked salmon must be released without unnecessary injury to the fish. All foul-hooked walleye in Oneida Lake and the tributaries to first bridge upstream from the lake must be released without unnecessary injury to the fish.
i have only seen 1000 tickets given to a just out side the mouth or close enough to the mouth fish !

I take issue with this reasoning............................Foul-hooked means not hooked in the mouth.
Taken from:- http://www.eregulations.com/newyork/fishing/definitions/ (http://www.eregulations.com/newyork/fishing/definitions/)
Esox got it right.............if it's hooked in the outside of the mouth it's in the mouth...........just the outside part of it, e.g. it's lips! I had several like this the other day. Clearly it took the bead in it's mouth then when I pulled to set the hook the line flossed it's MOUTH and bingo hooked someplace in the mouth, either the outside part (lips) of it or the inside part. It wasn't hooked in it's face or gills or like the real foul hooked fish in a fin or it's body.

You know I havent been up for a bit but I can surely tell you that without a doubt any fish runs for its life better when hooked in the tail! Thats horrible, I apologize for that, must be the old 90's ripper coming out! For real though , its funny how 95% of us grew up rippin our as?:#@#$%%ses off and now everyone is reformed or somthing . Its great to see everyone using the bead technique and flies , sacks, etc but to start an arguement over the "in the mouth" or " coming into the mouth from the outer jaw" is pretty petty and childish. Funny, I have seen the purist of the pure with a big dollar set up down in DSR become a RIPPIN SLASHING ANIMAL when fish are goin by them and they are not takin flies , beads or bait. Nobody is perfect . To each there own, and there own method.

Nobody is perfect . To each there own, and there own method.
so true

so true
I call it like i see it, were not reformed, just oppressed! Im not afraid to admit if i see a 20lb chromer in the rapids and he wont take a fly I will for darn sure line him IN THE MOUTH like a pro! Only the trained eye can tell the difference! On the stringer is on the stringer- game over!

You know whats even funnier Adam, I was trained by the best of the best, the elite sensa master of the line, im so proficient at the art that I have taught others down here how to line. The best is fall stocking of the bigger trout down here, they dont bite for a few days so we need to get creative. I have a 3wt fly rod with 2lb maxima for just this purpose. a # 10 caddis hook with a bitty piece of pink bg worm and a couple bb splits (lead of course) works great. I have guys flippin out askin what im using when I put a dozen in the net to their 0000000. all IN THE MOUTH too. Its a trip.

I saw that report, as for snow pack these warm temps have nothing to do with it. For most of the area including SR, Oneida etc... The snowmelt & water levels this spring will still be what they'll be. The warm fall, just keeps Ontario warmer, which means we'll get hammered with lake effect. Still leaving it to melt. A few yrs back when I bought my house was the winter of the 10-12' of snow in a week. That yr was a green grass Christmas here in the snowbelt, 12/27 a couple inches of wet crap that soon melted, didn't have it sitting around till new yrs. Then mother nature made up for it.

We'll see what happens tomorrow, most of the bank anglers numbers were way down today compared to lately, (well where I was any way) due to the higher waters, I know the driftboaters did well, they always do in this water, hopefully the fish have had time to adjust to the new water level now and hook ups pick back up tomorrow for us walkers. I did happen on too one good run that kept rolling pretty good all day..I'll be there tomorrow. After looking at the gauges, wouldn't be suprized if the River went up a little more.

Well today was my best steelhead outing of the year....big water and big fish..fished with the Cp from a little after 1 til 430pm or so......went 19 for 39, landed one steelhead around 16 lbs ....2 more around 13lbs and a good half dozen around 11lbs, just unbelievable, I was worn out from running up and down the river , bet I put 2 miles on these wheels today..
It was one of those days you would get all sweated up and half to peel the layers off to dry out before you could get back fishin again...glasses fogging up constantly..you name it.. an hour before sunset I fished a run I hadn't fished since high school, nailed 11 fish in like 40 minutes, multiple break offs in this run because of the way it was set up, but it was fast action......felt like old times .I'm absolutely stoked right now thinking about it. Brought a guy with me who has never caught a steelhead let alone land one ...he went something like 5 for 14 or something, it truely was a great afternoon.

Sounds like my morning! ;D I lost official count but it was around 15 for 35-40ish! 8)
We also had a triple hook-up and lost count of doubles!
One of my best friends lives between the Sr and O-snag-o, he was one of my groomsmen in my wedding. We'll him and another Groomsmen took me on a drift trip today for a wedding gift/bachelor party. Mike fishes the river a bunch and has become friends with George O. We fished with him and he was super nice and knows the river. Plus he does a river side hot breakfast mid-morning! 8)
Anyways we put the boat in and got below Snags, I ran my pin and beads for a few hours in the morning and did well, hooked a dozen and landed 4.
Then they started getting em bottom bouncing so I slid down and joined. It was silly till about noon. I had a 2 hr stretch that the longest break between fish was 6 cast, but usually 2-3... 8)
Like Snag said nice average fish with some in the low teens and one 15lbr. I also had a brute of a male with that nice colored stripe right to the bank, then the bead got wraped up in the grass, one flip and he was gone, oh well...
My buddies each hooked 15-20 fish also. Lots of fish all over the river!
Snag - We stopped by your place around three, I figured you were on the river puttin the hammer down. We were gonna fish more but pizza and wings sounded better...
Adam - nice seeing you one the river... You should have slid in above us. Iwas gettin em all up through there...
Waiting on picts from my buddy but here a few I took...
Some fish were getting a tad dark but most were super fresh...

Shane, good seeing you today. Got to meet Ernye and goosebuster as well! Great meeting you guys!! DC, I heard you were on the river today ....didn't get to run into you though! Another time. I went 2-5 today, little rain and snow mix. All hookups were on bottom bouncing today! Shane, that hole was beat up when I got there....probably should've waited until later afternoon! Hope you guys fired 'em up where you fished!! ;)

Bead bite continues...fished with my buddy Eric Pritchard today..He bottom bounced while I ran my Cp again..Fished from 1:30 til 430pm ....... I went 15 for 26 this afternoon, hook ups were down a touch from yesterday, but still great in it's own right......shared the fish with more anglers today. Many large fish again, I landed a couple around 13 lbs..Eric got one around 16lbs..... Eric landed something like 19 for 33 on bottom...very raw afternoon with about 2 inches of snow and wind ..water temps are still up in the zone , but it aint going to last much longer..We are on borrowed time for big hook up days, winters right around the corner....
Hey nice sharing some water with you DD... 8)

Nice catch! Is that reel the off-set Spahr? How do you like it?
Yes it is... I like it alot! It spins great and is built like a tank. It is heavy but most longer pin rods can benifit from a heavier reel. I wouldnt put in on a 10-11 footer but it feels great on my 12.
The off-set is really nice on that particular rod. It keeps my hand up on the wood reel seat, fits perfect...
Id have a hard time buying a new one but I got a sweet deal on it used. He used it alot but took care of it and had just put new bearings in it...

The off-set is really nice on that particular rod. It keeps my hand up on the wood reel seat, fits perfect...
Id have a hard time buying a new one but I got a sweet deal on it used. He used it alot but took care of it and had just put new bearings in it...
Do you use the finger holes ??

That SKS a .22 cal.????--KP 8)
7.62x 39

Did 4 fer 12 in 2 hours today bouncin , saw a ton of hookups and fished with great people ;D Life is good indeed :flag:
You guys are killing me !! I got to get up there !!

To be honest, I always forget... must be that I used my other pin so much without those holes. :unsure: :unsure: 8)

most sks are a .223 (5.56)
??? ??? ??? ??? Uhhhhhh .223???? Are you sure? Before I moved here due to gun laws I sold most of my stuff to friends. Mini 14's, 30's, 2 snub nose/short bar AR 15's & nearly a dozen sks. The SKS is the cheapest & easier to alter, I had 1 w/ a folding stock, 2 sniper w/ scopes (although the kick screwed with the sighting after 10-12 shots) You sure you're talking about the same SKS? The stock from factory with wooden stock that looked like it was sized for you tiny guys to shoot? Mine were all, & all my friends 7.62.
-

Uhhhhhhhh no a true SKS is 7.62
-
Lots of fun, but only accurate the first shot, the kick was stupid & during rapid fire it took all you had to keep 3-5" groups. Not that I ever had the hellfire trig. ::) Made an impressive splash of water though when fired in the stock pond. Also was good at spooking off the snakes
-
they can be anything. its a stock around a barrel. could be a 9 mm could be a 6.8. ive even seen a .338 lapua in a sks platform. but most ive seen are a .223 rem round. but it can be anything. I played with tactical guns enough if im not I afghanistan I have no use for them. now my weapons of choice are my 1187 super mag in the spring and my tc bone collector in the fall
-
Uhhhhhhhh no a true SKS is 7.62
a true sks? what is a true sks? its a tactical platform not a reciever and barrel. and 7.62x39 is the most unstable round ive ever shot
-

Agreed 100%, they're nutz. A short barr .223 is loud as he11 but feels like you're shooting a .22lr smooth & easy. A 7.62 especially in a cheap gun & it' feel like you're firing a 50.

unless trap has the old russian weapon. with the bayonet lol

I fired alot of ak's overseas from russian to chinese to romanian. after 150 metrs your getting lucky unless you have alot of modifications

You are correct on the SKS.

The SKS is a Soviet semi-automatic rifle chambered for the 7.62x39mm round, designed in 1943 by Sergei Gavrilovich Simonov. SKS-45 is an acronym for Samozaryadnyj Karabin sistemy Simonova, 1945 (Russian: Самозарядный карабин системы Симонова, 1945; Self-loading Carbine of (the) Simonov system, 1945), or SKS 45. The Sks is a scaled down version of the PTRS-41 anti-tank rifle also designed by Simonov. The Soviets rather quickly phased the SKS carbine out of front-line service, replacing it with the AK-47, but it remained in second-line service for decades. It remains a ceremonial arm today. It was widely exported and produced by the former Eastern Bloc nations, as well as China, where it was designated the "Type 56", East Germany as the "Karabiner S" and in North Korea as the "Type 63". It is today popular on the civilian surplus market in many countries. The SKS was one of the first weapons chambered for the 7.62x39mm M43 round later used in the AK-47.
Designer Sergei Gavrilovich Simonov
Designed 1944
Number built 15,000,000[1]
Variants Chinese Type 56; Yugoslavian PAP; Romanian SKS; Albanian SKS; East German SKS; (North) Vietnamese SKS; North Korean SKS
i own one it was made in china i find it acc. 7.62x39 ammo is cheap and there fun to shoot i killed deer with it , it's the basic warsaw pact round designed to be a cheap stamped easy to manufactor weapon the Russian sks's are better built
-
You had a dozen SKS's, bcons?
Thats nuts!!! Quite the collection, for sure.

Well what I meant by the "are you sure" & the other member's comment is popular opinion or misconception. The majority of people here who've bought the SKS, have bought the Chinese version for $120-$300 in 7.62 wooden stock & from the factory about the size of the Red Rider "gonna shoot you're eye out kid" for which there are 90000000 cheap mods to build whatever style of weapon you want. I had one really cool one with pistol grip, folding stock, and 30round mag. It was legal down south as long as you built it yourself. IE buy the stock gun & all the access separate & then assemble at home. Lotsa fun, wasted $15 in ammo real quick, although I will say one thing, misfires, jamming etc. not bad for a rapid fire cheap piece. Also had a tech 22 ( the one that came factory with the threaded barr for silencer of flash supp) & a tech 9 both CRAP fun, but misfire & jam like there's no tomm.

its just a platform now like ak's and ar's. can be made into anything

Well when I was single, I didn't have as much to do ;) Moved here from TX everyone had lotsa guns. I bought a "gentleman's farm" 18 acres that had been abandoned with a decent house. There was an old truck somewhat hidden in the overgrowth, no title, no selling it there. Well.................. You should see what shooting at it for a couple yrs will do. Or burn piles for brush. Build fire, apply gas/kero mixture, set rocks & old steel right at the base, shoot at it until BOOM, when frustrated because it doesn't work, throw in old lit flares. Coyotes? Yes they're bigger here, but no where near as many, snakes? Lotsa reasons to shoot, & shoot often besides the fun of it.
-
its just a platform now like ak's and ar's. can be made into anything
any fire arm can be i'm saying orginal form ...your right about one thing adam the 7.62x39 is not a lond distance round ! it's like a 30-30 you loss it fast after 150 yards ...... now i have a rem 1907 06 thats fun and kicks a real lot
-
its just a platform now like ak's and ar's. can be made into anything
Whatever... 99% of the SKS came in 7.62x39.....

i had an SKS and was chambered in 7.62 X39 and frank had it and sold it. the rounds were full metal jacket and were worthless for deer and anything else other then targets. a worthless gun for a hunter in the woods

Whatever... 99% of the SKS came in 7.62x39.....
in 1945. all im saying is most shooters opt for a more accurate round now

in 1945. all im saying is most shooters opt for a more accurate round now
XCEPT buddy I'll bust ya on one thing, while I agree 7.62 sux, it also has a lot to due with barrel heating/temp & the make of the weapon has a lot to do with how well the round does, seemingly more so with 7.62. While it's certainyl been proven reliable in battle over & over again (under 150-200 yds) the quality of the peice has a lot to do with it. My Ruger vs SKS was night & day
-
anyway anyone gotten a water temp of the sr lately
-

I would target shoot with 7.62x39 or 308 ammo in my FN FAL ..... the cartridge size is identical.....

No on the torque twist. That reel is built like a brick s@#t house. What do you mean by the "single stanchion"?

hey trapp did you use a 30 round clip ::) ::) prolly not much to cut up after but it gets the job done lol
no i got a 5 round clip i mail ordered ( i think center fire arms)you can't have a semi auto afield other then a 22 (not sure about a 17 cal) that can hold more then 5 rounds, and unlike a duck plug you can't plug the clip .

Coach and I went on our first ever boat ride down the SR.... It was an awesome experience....by the way, if any one has never done it before, it is a must. I made the mistake..(or so I thought at first), of leaving my truck keys in the guides vehicle (that was parked in Altmar at our starting point)......my truck was at pineville bridge! :cookoo: as our pick up vehicle. Halfway through our first drift, It struck me.....uhhhh, hey Jay...remember that joke we made this morning about leaving my keys in your truck?.....Well, I just remembered that I actually did. :wacko: (That's why I called ya Snag)....and my friggen phone died right in the middle of our conversation. Luckily, when we got to Pineville, a savior was just loading up, and gave us a ride back to Altmar. So what does our guide (buddy) say.....LETS RUN HER AGAIN DAMMIT.......and we did. Second run was alot more comfy, and we had alot more knowledge of the layout of the river, and the different techniques we were using. I'm hooked on the pin for sure. We took a couple pics, not many on the water, cause the weather was rocking pretty good.
Coach with the pin

We must have looked like 2 kids in a candy store floatin down the river.
Great fishing!! Fantastic Guide ( Jay,who i would highly recommend :thumbup_smilie:),and a barrel, or two, of laughs with a good friend who could ask for anything more.

Alot of yesterday's snow melted...but somes hangin tough along with some heavy rime frost this morning, we bottomed out at 20 degrees this morning slowly un doing last weeks unusually warm weather that pushed the river temps back up into the mid 40's and in effect caused the great steelhead streak that we have been experiencing. I will be curious to see how the fishing reports shake out over the next couple of days with river temps falling again back to more seasonable levels. Even though it's suppose to be 50 degrees tomorrow, it don't matter to us guys up here, we got snow to melt up top , so water temps will continue to slip. Just had some guys come in that are hitting fish, so seems as though not much damage done yet. With the enormous amount of steelhead present this year, even after it slows, it will still be probably be the best begginning to winter we have ever had.

5.56 is a 223

yes a 5.56 and a .223cal are the same round :cookoo: :cookoo: only differance is a NATO 5.56 is loaded to have a higher volicity you can get .223 the same way ... 5.56 is the metric cal .223 is the s.a.e. cal ....now stop talking stupid stuff and lets get back to fishing ...
snag went back to my fisrt fish on a bead hole this morning 7 for 10 one was beautiful....on your bead look alike ;D

223 Remington vs. 5.56 NATO:
What You Don’t Know Could Hurt You02/15/2011
CommentsIs firing a 5.56 NATO cartridge in your .223 Remington chambered AR15 dangerous? Or do Internet forum-ninjas and ammunition companies selling you commercial ammo instead of surplus overstate the dangers? Believe it or not, a real danger exists, and some gun owners who think they are doing the right thing may not be safe.
The Cartridges
The .223 Remington and 5.56x45 NATO cartridges are very similar, and externally appear the same. But there are some differences that lie beneath the surface.
The 5.56 case has thicker walls to handle higher pressures, meaning the interior volume of the case is smaller than that of a .223. This will alter the loading data used when reloading 5.56 brass to .223 specs.
Some 5.56 loads have a slightly longer overall length than commercial .223 loads.
The Chambers
The significant difference between the .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO lies in the rifles, rather than the cartridges themselves. Both the .223 and 5.56 rounds will chamber in rifles designed for either cartridge, but the critical component, leade, will be different in each rifle.
The leade is the area of the barrel in front of the chamber prior to where the rifling begins. This is where the loaded bullet is located when a cartridge is chambered. The leade is frequently called the “throat.”
On a .223 Remington spec rifle, the leade will be 0.085”. This is the standard described by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute, Inc. (SAAMI). The leade in a 5.56 NATO spec rifle is 0.162”, or almost double the leade of the .223 rifle.
A shorter leade in a SAAMI spec rifle creates a situation where the bullet in a 5.56 NATO round, when chambered, can contact the rifling prior to being fired. By having contact with the rifling prematurely (at the moment of firing), chamber pressure can be dramatically increased, creating the danger of a ruptured case or other cartridge/gun failure.
How serious is the danger of firing 5.56 ammo in .223 guns? Dangerous enough that the SAAMI lists 5.56 military ammo as being not for use in .223 firearms in the technical data sheet titled “Unsafe Firearm-Ammunition Combinations.”

is that a float setup trapp?? thought you were a die hard fly guy........and the bead converts another. ;D
ernye i have a bad case of casting elbow lol so i broke out the noodle rod , and finally had snagger give me a lesson in bead fishing , i've had fun with if ... tomorrow i'm tossing the fly rod case over my shoulder and see it i can cast ..... ;D..... if not back to the noodle rod
i don't know how to explain how i feel about the bead ! i believe the fish hits the bead ! i do but the long disstance between the bead and the hook results in alot of fowl hooks ... by fowl hook i use the states defintion as a fish not hooked IN THE MOUTH ..... in being the key LEGAL word here,
seeing we all release most fish anyways guess it doesn't make any differances except i truely want every hook up IN THE MOUTH thats just me personally ....
i still do not believe salmon hit them i think it's a easy way to line em ( i don't care) i seen steel flash then the bobber went down so i knew they went for the bead but alot were hooked in face and outside lip .... just being honest here .... ps it is a fun way to fish like a flyrod and strike indicator

What are you talking about trap? You don't believe Salmon "hit" ::)

same for Esox v and myself today....we sucked....worst day of the year so far. Doesn't get much slower than the day we had LOL! I guess every once in a while you are due for a bad day :/
-
Wow how strange is that, I didn't fish today because in the past strong east winds shut the steelheading down. Why I don't know, but I did other things instead.
Maybe this approaching storm screwed with the barametric pressure.

Not the rain of the century, but it is right over the Tug hill just northeast of the Salmon river, after noticing the gauges moving yesterday from snowmelt, the grounds completly saturated...it won't take much rain too keep this river flowing high , probably most of the week ..... an unusual 44 degree rain again , so it's trying hard to stay in the zone this December.... I wouldn't doubt if the River goes higher if we get more than a half inch of rain...time will tell....looking good for the driftboaters this month.

Rome wasn't built in a day...it takes time to put it all together. We are all under too much pressure because of the computer.. In the old days if you hooked 7 fish, you had no way of knowing someone else did better. I enjoy the pressure, you young guys are keeping it interesting for this aging River guy. You guys had a banner day for sure, that's alot of fish, I don't care who you are. ;D

Shane needs to get into motivational speaking! :-)

You guys are right about the internet . Today was my first day fishing beeds this year . I always tie tiny bags to look like single eggs . I just picked random beed colors and every one worked ..almost to easy

I just got back from the hospital turns out its badly bruised and torn cartilage, may be not as bad as a broken bone but it feels like it. I wasent going to have it looked at because theres not much they can do for a broken rib but work reported it to workers comp and they called me today to see if i had it looked at and and i told them no, so they said i need to at least have it x-rayed. Were gonna try to fish this weekend not sure yet how its gonna feel after a few hook ups...I'm right handed too, and its on my right side :'(
-
hey rob thats a bummer just take it easy buddy and dont do no more harm gonna need you for some more pointers ;D ;D take care man rick

Here's a little report:
Fished first day in a trib, had lots of hookups, lots of spit backs too. Caught a small steel (no pic) and a nice fat domestic (no pic). We had one net between the three of us, and some fish just don't like to wait for the netman to wake up(sorry matt). Fished second day in Altmar, landed one lost 5 or 6. I just started using my aventa, and I'll tell you this: it takes some getting used to setting good hooks with those longer rods.

great little video man..looks like that pole is 20 feet long. ;D
-
Just checked my rain gauge, we got 3/4's of an inch last night, another bucket had snow in it 3 days ago, measured that and it was 1 1/4 inches of water now...getting 3/4's in December is like getting 3 inches in August, no plants using it and the ground is cold and saturated. River should stay high all week now....maybe a 750 drop for the weekend if we are lucky.
Maybe not, just looked at the fish creek gauge which drains south Tug hill and it isn't flowing very high compared to the north gauges, could be a suprize drop.
-
nice, I would love 750 for the weekend. The precip history map shows the south end of the tug getting less precip than the north. Even if SR stays high, nearby places should still be good. I'm trying to talk my buddy brian into coming up for the weekend...maybe looking at a fri-sun trip.

-
hopefully it does drop and we can move around a bit better by the weekend. coming up this weekend with fishgalore and gillripper1. gonna be fun no matter what. its gonna be another experience for me fishing this highwater on the SR. last time i came in november it was only about 400? now possibly almost 1500?!?!??!. Personally my favorite time being up there is just the friendship with guys up there having a great time doing something we all love to do

for now..come back in 2 weeks and tell me that, then the learning will begin all over again. ;)
yeah I know I use to only fish January February when I get laid off. That's when I pay Steve to back troll .

Walked across the street and fished the Altmar area today...Higher water made it tricky but was able to land 8 for 11 in about 3 hours... Most fish were dark, but very hot...good battles..Nice afternoon with good friends. Seen an average amount of other hook ups. One guy fishing an indicator on the other side of the River did about the same numbers as me.

Hmmmmmm.... I always thought a 1/2" hook was plenty big enough for a hungry steel. But what do I know....I'm just a greenie.

One of my lodgers is already approaching 20 hook ups this morning, he handed me my @ss on sac's, All I had was beads so I walked back to tie some. Zero for me on beads while he was just blasting them every 6 or 8 drifts. I love it!!!!!!! :w00t:

I been working really hard and alot of moving to get these numbers, bet I'm walking 1-2 miles an afternoon.. After my back injury on July 5th, I been trying to stay in shape for ice fishing season, if it ever comes. I hope you guys smash them... you will be splitting it 3 ways though , I was by myself today..... half inch rule is too keep blatant snagging to a minimum I guess. Not sure really.
-
Fished the river today from 10-230, went 2 for 20. Couldnt land them to save my life, switched to 8lb maximum after i realized my line was horrible... Then the hooks just kept poping outta there mouths. But all in all it was a good day...

Well ran my Cp with beads from about 1130 til 130 from the barrel too the wires..went 2 for 4.. kind of cold, windy and fishin was off a touch... then came back and got the ultra light 6 footer and went 4 for 4 on coho's on crankbaits , came home again and grabbed the noodle rod and bottom bounced sacs the last hour and went 2 for 8, so not the monster numbers of late, but an interesting and fun day. 8 for 16 for about 4 hours fishin time aint shabby for December........
Hey Trap that was awesome watching the coho's follow it all the way to shore and hit it like a walleye. They will hit poppers, I'm sure of it.

It's not unusual for these winter spawners correct? I saw a few around Ellis Cove a couple years ago in Jan/Feb.
Poppers- that would be an awesome video.

When I did that first run and noticed the fish were starting to get cold....I almost pulled out mr. pinky. I did see an old timer get one on a nightcrawler.

Snow on the ground...no one at the barrel, sounds like we're just getting into the part of the season I like.
Just remembered this from a run up from last week but did anyone notice the dead heron in a tree a little ways down from the pineville bridge on the south side of the river last week? I know thats a pretty vauge description but if you saw it you know what I'm talking about. Must have got caught on some of the rigs tangled up there....
After a brief moment of feeling bad, I really wanted to get it down and use some of those feathers!! traditional heron feathers, man.....you literally cannot get those anywhere, but it looked pretty haggard and half way to becoming a skeleton so I left it there. Would I have been breaking the law if I cut that bird out of the tree and used it's feathers on flies?

Hey Ernye. Nice running into you the other morning.
Unfortunately there's a federal law against even possesing a feather from a heron, hawk, etc. Not sure if it can only be a dometic bird.

We had 4 fish over ten pounds . We got 4 fish on the plugs . And the rest on beeds and bags .

Fished the uper runs in Altmar this morning and got into some pretty good action early on, then it died out around 10. My hands were numb by that time anyway from the light lake affect snow that was falling for a few hours, so we headed back to the lodge to regroup. Picked up a partner for the afternoon...Deadeyes came up from Oneida for a visit so we went back to the same runs in the evening and got into some real fresh chrome, not a bad way to start a weekend. Got a few pic's from today. ;D

Well wondered over to play with those coho's around 11am and pretty much ended up walking around and fishing til 4pm, hadn't planned on it, but the sun came out and it was beautiful weather....mostly around the bridge to the top of the barrel, never put my waders on, just fished in knee boots. While I had my ultra light, I landed 7 for 11 on coho's......, some from a side diversion, but also hit 3 in the main river........ Went back to the house and got my noodle and Cp and walked up to the bridge, nothing bottom bouncing,....... but went 1 for 6 on floats, some great battles, but with no waders ended up loosing most of them, lots of fish being hooked all over, drift boats were cracking them good on plugs, seen one boat nail 4 in like 15 minutes, couldn't even set his rods,,..real cool to watch...bottom bouncers were tearing them up too in a few places...lots of action... :o......night and day from yesterday, seen alot less action yesterday.
-
the great altmar coho round up in fact took place today! shane is clearly the winner althoug dead eyes is a close second ....i proudly take 3rd with my flyrod and yellow stp frog and a wollybugger .... i have never laughed so hard it was great ...lehigh took video and pictures which is sure to follow i had a great time seeing everyone today .... heres a picture if you look close the fly is on my rod ;D

interesting note i got them top water on a bass frog and a wolly bugger .... shane and dead eyes got them on rapalas and crank baits ....no fish caught on beads ... ( whats that tell ya) :rotflol: :rotflol: :rotflol: :rotflol:
It was an absolute riot trap..I laughed like I was 12 again...for the record, the one coho I killed swallowed the crank and was bleeding through it's gills, ..His life cycle was over anyway. The rest were released. Speaking of 12 year olds, a bunch of youngsters found them after you left Trap, they had a ball..........

Looks like that spot got pounded lv. We got a few throughout there .

Waters headed back to lower level.
365123 THE SALMON RIVER AT LIGHTHOUSE HILL
PUBLISHED ON DEC 09, 2011 AT 18:00:05 - EXPIRES DEC 10 11:59 PM
For the Salmon River at Brookfield Renewable Power's Lighthouse Hill Dam, Altmar, NY. The following predictions are for flows in the river just below the powerhouse unless otherwise noted.
Until 2:00 PM tomorrow, Sat, 500 CFS
From 2:00 PM tomorrow until 11:59 PM tomorrow, 335 CFS
All published flows are approximate and forecasts are estimates only. Actual flows will vary and can change quickly at any time. Always be alert and wear an approved flotation device. Never go in or near the water until you know and accept the risks you are assuming by being in this area!
Todays lower level caused me to loose 2 of my favorite high water runs, but opened up so many more to fish I didn't notice,,.,..tomorrows level is going to be the "Bomb"...I love 500cfs....I'll loose a few more 750 spots, but so many riffles and pockets will show them selves that I won't care....... I can't wait. FISH ON!!!!

Nothing yet....I'm curious how many fresh fish got trapped in the bigger pools/riffles down River..like the longbridge/town area.

How has the fridge been fishing this year? I have not fished it in a few years, as I have spent more time grouse hunting with my nephew in the winter. Now that he is old enough to fish Heads, I wish to take him this year and the fridge is a good run to teach him.

Past two drifts I took we got fish at the fridge . But the water was a lot higher

Steelheading was a bit slow so went home and grabbed my 6 foot ultra light and am having a blast catching coho's on bass crank baits. They are hitting it off the surface like largemouth...... Landed 4 in the last 20 minutes.

and now I can catch them on poppers and plugs ?

' Monday afternoon report:
Fished across the street for a couple hours ..... First I bottom bounced and hit like 5 or 6 fish.. couple of monsters..... but none landed, then tried the pink worm under a float...nothing,, tried a go to bead only a little smaller with the lower flows(8mm) with no success, so moved to another spot that's been good at dark..hit 7 and landed 4.... all bottom bouncing sacs and flies. Very good action I thought considering the crowds, low water and cold am temps of late...sunday am it was 17, this morning was 14 degrees, but with the brilliant sunshine it made up to 44 degrees, felt like march, not december... ;D

How 'bout the buffoon on Sunday in Altmar accusing others of snagging fish that were not foul hooked but the line wrapped around the fish and possibly gave the appearance of a snagged fish! He said something like..........I should call the DEC on you!...to the guy.
I'm mostly oblivious to what others are doing on any river since I'm focused on fishing. Why do guys have to be such aholes as that?............no tack................just a loud mouth shooting his big mouth..........if you got a problem or an issue with someone...........maybe you should ask quietly, one on one, before you jump to conclusions. Just to make sure you're not passing the wrong judgement on them. And BTW, the manner in which you ask is important as well. If you ask me with an accusatory tone don't think I'm being nice back to you. Even if you do ask nice I might not like you asking since it's really none of your GD business what I'm doing.
Where do these people get off on their high horse trying to embarrass someone that didn't do a dam thing wrong! If you're on this site buddy please explain yourself and the need to be such an ahole.

I'll tell ya , a couple looked foul to me but.....i'm with you: i'm ther to fish, hang out with good guys,etc. hey Trap, you goin up tomorrow? lookin to meet up. with that being said, i'm off to work. fish on... stay safe!!

I'm talking about the young kid ( 20 yr old ) that kept one fish.............I think he only landed 2 before noon and was using a trout bead, not a fly with a spinning reel set up. He only had like a few hook ups by noon time and kept one that was not foul hooked. There were 2 older guys that were landing fish after fish. I have no clue what went on with them except I saw they were slammin em.
It sounds like the guy was loud mouthed and accusing everyone.

You met up with Trapp, dang, would have liked to met him. I was just above the bridge (lfz) on the same side as you. We went to lunch about noon and then I napped before the ride home. My 2 buds came back for an hour and a half before we left.

fishing are you talking about the guy in the top of the barrel...he started screaming at some poor old guy that was tring to wade out about fishing edicate and that he was to close .... yes this forced me to take a few cast next to him ....
speaking of which the guy with the red drift boat ...you could have parked on the other side instead of stealing my spot ...and you know you did ... but just so you know i'm crazy ,i don't care about your clients , and i bet if your that inconsiderate of me you never land a fish near me ;D

Looks like three of the Clova Crew made it out to fish the SR!! From the looks and the Sounds of it you all had a great time up there. Wonder how the rest of you guys made out!! I am sure I'll here very soon. Keep lighting them up!
Chris was lighting em up..... I ended up with one nice solid hen about 10 .... maybe a little bigger for 4 fish and only met the tree above me once ;D.... I fished my pin all but the last hour or so.... Bouncers were doing way better than the float guys... Fun day fishing..... Didn't feel like getting my camera out...

It is sad to think that a couple of people on the water believe it is their duty to be the river wardens. I guided steelhead fisherman for many years before I gave up fishing for them all together as I could not enjoy the experience with all the eyes of the world focused on everything other than fishing. I did go up 2 weeks ago and had a great time and I realized how badly I missed it. But as always, after landing my first three fish, I had to find a place to fish as my spot was taken. Every time I hooked a fish, one gentleman had to ask if it was in the mouth. Of the dozen or so fish I hooked up with, 2 were foul hooked in the head and were broken off immediately. Steelhead are big fish....have big mouths,,,,and big fins. It is inevitable that a fish will be foul hooked on ocassion. As long as there are no long lifts at the end of the drift, and no intent to foul hook a fish, all is well. Unfortunately, it seems it is those who never seem to be able to hook up that get disgruntled at those who do. What a shame. For the rest of you, enjoy your time in the water and stay safe.

That is because they think that if they are not catching fish and others are that those that are catching have to be snagging.
It's born of jealously and frustration.
Generally these angry people are just chitty fishermen.
Maybe they would be better off taking up needle point or flower arranging. ;D
The smart angler watches those who are catching fish and tries to figure out what they are doing differently that is contributing to their success. If they can't figure it out from watching the really smart ones stike up a conversation with the successful angler and ask them what they are doing differently. Believe it or not this technique tends to work really well.

It always gives me great pleasure helping someone figure out the "program". On that day in question 2 weeks ago, a first-timer was fishing in the same run and I and kindly asked what I was doing to catch fish. I built him a leader, gave him a few flies, and invited him to fish next to me. Though he did not hook a fish of his own, he fought 2 of my fish, one to the net. He was gracious, kind and very thankful. I wish all were as kind and considerate as he. For the rest of them, their lack of success is their best medicine.

You are correct though .... People always seem to judge the person doing the best as doing something wrong..... :cookoo: :cookoo: :cookoo: :cookoo:

It seems the SR brings out the worst in some people. Especially if they aren't catching fish and others are. That's why i try to find a nice quiet stretch of the river. I prefer to fish in peace and solitude even if their's less fishies.

I like a nice quiet spot as much as any other guy, but I also like watching guys like those mentioned heads explode as I'm pounding fish after fish!!!! ;D
If they would just ask the ? WTH are you doing that I'm not? I gladly help out.
If they don't ask I just smile and watch as they................(https://www.myfishfinder.com/fishing_forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2F1003%2FDRIFTER_016%2FEmoticons%2Fkboom.gif&hash=63f9b3935c63587a84a174cc388a2ada)

He never left the water, i might of went in and confronted him but i wasn't in my waders and i was holding my good camera.

Where's the barrel? Just below the bridge in Altmar? From LV's response I gather that might just be it. Were you there in the am Trap? If you were I just missed meeting you.
GrnDrake I liked your posts along with LV's just above this one!

Funny Trap. I was fishin a run tonight, hit 6 landed 1 in about 45 minutes, then I got pinched out by a few people.. No biggie, my back was hurting too much too say anything, so I just moved on..Humorous though. ;D I usually don't get too worked up on this River if I can help it.

i know we all can have tempers and what happens is wrong but hitting someone means being arrested and so on , your best bet call the DEC and press charges , it's called harressmrnt during a legal activity !!!! why take chances on being fined jailed or sued over a moron!

I once had a guy rag on me for fishing "HIS" water.
I was on the other side of the river fishing off a high bank right at my feet. ::)
He continued to b!@tch until I started back around to his side of the river. That's when he ran away like a little girl. (https://www.myfishfinder.com/fishing_forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fforums.randi.org%2Fimages%2Fsmilies%2Frunaway.gif&hash=5517b320e29bdf39382a8fd79366a59f)

Give him my pin, he'll be screaming at himself tryin to cast it. I wont be up this week, As I was walking from my
truck to put a wreath on my dad and sisters grave I got the call that my uncle John died. Fitting place to get the news.
Funeral on thurs. and family coming in from as far away as India means I gotta stay local.

Has anyone spent any time below 2A? Was wondering how it is fishing.

I'm just getting started with a center pin. When you guys use beads, what size hook do you like to use? I bought 8's & 10's. Are they too small?

Thank you ripper and esox!!! I was thinkin d**n they might be to small. God I cant wait till sunday ;D

Thanks for the good wishes guys, it was his time, 89 and slowing down. The end came quick and peaceful
for him. Earlier this year he called me to come over and pick some stuff up. Turns out he wanted to give me all
his old fishing gear. original Mitchell 300's and Kasnar reels, fly rods and reels, etc. He hadn't used them in years and figured i mightn't like to have them. The collection filled a browning rod rack I got from a store that went out of business. Most are museum pieces that wont get used,just displayed. But there is one or two
I'm gonna respool and take to the little stream he took me when I was a kid. His passing now makes me the
senior fisherman of the clan.
-
Sorry for your loss Nightfisher......I burried my father and best friend last Friday.....He was 83....hunted deer this season....and lived a beautiful life. Nonetheless it hurts. I wish you and yours peace and comfort.
-
Sorry for your loss Jim.....Peace and thoughts from all the boys of Altmar bro.
You should use some of his older equipment as center pieces in your house. Take care bud.
-
My condolences Drake, I lost my dad 9 years ago. The hurt gets better with time. Sounds like
you have lots of great memories, take care
-
ice monkey i'm no center pin expert (never even used one) but beads are starting to wind down ... be righty to switch up to flies or eggs and be ready to bottom bounce
-
Also be ready to downsize Ice Monkey..Last week I was running 10lb and 6lb flouro leader, switched to 8lb. and drennan 4lb leader today, also dropped from 10mm to 8 mm beads and dropped to smaller bb's as well tonight.. had a nice evening flurry, 2 on my noodle rod with floats and 3 bottom bouncing small sacs on my other noodle rod.. Hook ups were down today from what I seen, but heard there was some good action from 10am til noon in a couple key spots in Altmar....I had 4 others earlier in the bubbly water, but worked pretty hard for them compared to the last couple of days.....
-
good to hear you hooked up late snag i'm tying some 12 and 14 stones right now! just tossed some 4 lb tippet in my vest too ,i'm hoping the warm rain turns them on but if not i'm ready for fincky too !!!! it ain't going to be a cake walk much longer boys ;D

East wind days have always been my worst days for the bite.....could be tricky tomorrow. We'll see... I'll enjoy myself regardless....8mm and 4lb. did the trick for me tonight!!!!! One of my lodgers made the downsize switch, I just copied him, So I can't take the credit...... ;D

Hi,
I posted up on the Salmon River picture thread wondering if anyone can tell me the manufacture of the Hat/facemask that is being worn in the pics posted on 12/12. The hat the fisherman in the pic is wearing looks really warm and I might be interested in buying one if I can find out the manufacturer/name of the product. All help in identifying the name or manufacturer of the hat will be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance
Bill

nice day on the water today few hook ups and good to see some of the gang there ,,,hey rake not everyone can catch suckers on the fly buddy :rotflol:
anyone that thinks fly fishing only areas and c&r only fishing is a good thing , go to the flyfishing section on the SR .... i honestly was ashamed and even tho the hole was full of fish i left .... if using a bobber the size of a golf ball and running 1/2 oz of split shot is fly fishing i guess it's ok !!!! i think it would be better to get rid of the snagging area and let honest fisherman use it .... biggest joke i have ever seen in my life ....

what happened to the tankers?

For the Salmon River at Brookfield Renewable Power's Lighthouse Hill Dam, Altmar, NY. The following predictions are for flows in the river just below the powerhouse unless otherwise noted.
Until 11:59 PM Fri DEC 16, 335 CFS
All published flows are approximate and forecasts are estimates only. Actual flows will vary and can change quickly at any time. Always be alert and wear an approved flotation device. Never go in or near the water until you know and accept the risks you are assuming by being in this area!
Any changes to this schedule are normally made by 8:00 AM Daily. One or more flow increases may occur during this forecast period. Here is about how long it will take after a flow increase at the power plant for fast rising waters and swift currents to reach the following places downstream.. ALTMAR - 30 minutes; PINEVILLE - 1 hour and 40 minutes; RT 81 - 2 hours and 50 minutes; Blackhole - 3 hours and 30 minutes.
what???????why not turn her up a bit?
-
cause brookfield is a bunch of douche bags. instead of running 750 now they will wait til tommorrow and realize they dont have room then blow 1800 all weekend
-
snagger guess ya called another one right

What.. I guessed wrong..I said 1800cfs, will someone please drive up and wake the gate guy up...he's asleep again. ;D
I just measured 1.2 inches in my bucket plus a little snowmelt, take a look at trout brooks gauge, it rising straight up.

look at the other creeks gauges. from 279 to 700 in 3 hrs

Let's hope they're not sleeping again! See you tomorrow. Trap, get some rest buddy!--KP

I know this won't go over big with the resident MFF fishheads,
but allow me to play Devil's advocate for a moment:
Given the fact the POWER CO is in compliance with agreed upon minimim flows with DEC, and given the fact that the recent warm weather trend has reduced the short term demand for electricity, and given the fact that the POWER CO is in the business of electricity generation (not tending to the needs & desires of river fishermen),
then I would think that they will release water when market conditions command the best price for their product - usually at higher demand times - like when the temps drop again.
just thought I would procrastinate a bit of reality ;D
Carry On..

The old power company Niagara Mohawk had a set of guide lines they had to follow as far as reservoir elevations for flood control. This is about safety and flood control, not about the River being at my favorite fishing level Drake. They still haven't found the money to fix the retaining wall in Pulaski from the last flood....
They can only produce power up to 1800cfs, after that it goes through the gates, not the pipeline. These new guys seem to be able to hold this reservoir where ever they want, I bet they have no idea it's flowing over the dam. They run this dam from Albany New york via computer with no rain gauges on Tug Hill and no USGS gauges on either of the 3 branches flowing into the Reservoir.
Fish creek another stream that flows off Tug hill just to the south of Redfield Reservoir is reading 7000cfs right now. It's a recipy for disaster where the Reservoir is at right now, one of these storms in this mild winter could get them in trouble if they continue to not run this watershed with there eyes closed. Before last years flood, we went through a good one on January 7-9th of 1998...3 full days of 12,000cfs, It did alot of erosion to the River.

365123 THE SALMON RIVER AT LIGHTHOUSE HILL
PUBLISHED ON DEC 16, 2011 AT 16:37:50 - EXPIRES DEC 18 11:59 PM
For the Salmon River at Brookfield Renewable Power's Lighthouse Hill Dam, Altmar, NY. The following predictions are for flows in the river just below the powerhouse unless otherwise noted.
Information about the timing of water level changes downstream of the powerhouse is included after the forecast.
Until 7:00 PM today, 335 CFS
From 7:00 PM today until 11:59 PM Sun, 750 CFS
All published flows are approximate and forecasts are estimates only. Actual flows will vary and can change quickly at any time. Always be alert and wear an approved flotation device. Never go in or near the water until you know and accept the risks you are assuming by being in this area!

If the officials up there in upstate NY can't coordinate information/efforts, then that is disturbing.
As I understand it, the SR Res is not considered as a major flood control asset. Otherwise it would likely be under the control of the US Army Corp of Engineers - hopefully with a much better water management plan.
Can't believe the wall in downtown Poolaski is still broken. Considering the fact that the town's sewer system is also in danger of imploding makes me wonder why Assemblyman Barclay & other area dignitaries have not helped more with fastlane funding (especially since a broken crap pipe can put a major dent in Will's cash scam operation downstream).

cause he wants it all, from the estuary to the hatchery minus the stretch the native americans own, they won't give that up

drake first off yes flooding is suposed to be there top prority and i remind you brookk is the same company that caused the death of 2 fisherman in oswego last year ! they control the hydro stations in fulton min oswego and redfield ... they have shown nothing but a disrespect for the lives and welfare of the people that live down stream of these dams .......... in all honesty the people of that area should be demanding answers ......
now for the fishing report .... KP and i made a assult on the flyfishing section where we had fun then we hit the water below for notta ...then KP spotting a large herd of white mutant coho's heading upstream !!!! i think KP's fell apart before we got a picture ...in the other thread you can clearly see the legal hook ;D they love size 14 phesanant tails ....after this KP had arons to run i took a break returned and finished the day 3 for 7 was my total ...

Trap really? That hat? :rotflol: :rotflol: :rotflol: :rotflol: As far as HT smiling, give the guy a break! If you had to wake up every morning & walk in the bathroom, turn the light on and see that looking back at you in the mirror would you smile much either? :-* :P Nice fish boys! Even if KP's fell apart ::) I'll give him a break though since he's been gone. Considering the guy's been away & still fished 3 times more than I have :cursing: :cursing: :cursing:
As far as Brookfield, well they're just stupid! I sent some pic messages earlier this fall of them training plant workers to throw rescue bags, right after they put all that CRAP in the OZ. It wouldn't seem that difficult to alter flows at midnight when no ones supposed to be on either river. While the weather changes frequently if ya have a little wiggle room it shouldn't be that hard.....

esox guy in the barrel got one floating down then some went by out of reach ...they didn't belong to anyone in the barrel....
i give flies away for selfish reasons! i feel if a person catches a fish on a fly i tied then i caught the fish via proxie ;D
besides sharing is a part of being a sportsmen ;D

I just walked across the street, seen a great bobber blitz, 4 doubles in a row by other guys, they were running blue sacs and pink worms, it was a riot too watch, then walked up and seen quite a few being foul hooked in the LFZ, I'm not bashing, just an observation..Lots of action from what I could see..... so I grabbed my noodle rod and went 3 for 3 in about 40 minutes bottom bouncing...cold though, forgot my gloves, hands were numb after handling a few fish....2pm and 23 degrees out...winters here...We'll be makin ice soon..

pretty much what KP and i witnessed .... running slinkys on fly line with 15 foot leaders is a dead give away! ..... light em up snag ;D

I think you have to have fly line in the LFZ, but im not sure. You would be better off using a sink tip and tying up some estaz flies using lead wrap and tungsten bead heads. You could even throw on a indicator and make it look REAL legit... :D
-
at least we fished it honest and landed fish , i was there to flyfish not rope ..... i set the mucing rod up years ago .... :thumbup_smilie: to the guys that were honest fisherman and shame on the cheaters and anyone that supports that bull ..... open it up to everyone !

-

Put it on the fly line if you have to. It's only to make it look like your not doing the nymphing lift.
-
if ya got a sink line a indict. would just lift the nymph off the bottom ????? and the indict goes on your leader or tippet not your fly line
-
anyone get out today?? drove up last nite and fished all day today.... couldnt buy a bite! never seen it that bad. managed to creek chubs on my pin 1st time with it today. wondering if it is me or the fish?
-
It's the toughest to be ethical with a fly rod, especially Spey casting. Nymphing requires whipping line up through the tail end of your drift in order to make the next upstream cast, and this can and will rope fish from time to time. The spey guys keep the rod tips down and let the line form a "fence" accross the whole lane, then at the end they two-hand haul all that line through the drift and it has the same effect, if not worse, than nymphing with lots of weight.
That's why, in my opinion, float fishing is probably the most ethical method(although I'm sure there's a way to line them on floats too). To date, I've never foul hooked any fish on a float.
The last few years I've noticed nymphing techniques, especially in fast water, have a tendency to produce foul hooked fish from time to time, even on my little trout streams in New England.
-

The indie is just for look for most "liners". If you have a thingamabobber you cant put it on the fly line, but if you have an adhesive one you can put it on anywhere. I see people who are lining them use them all the time, even though all there doing is getting down so they can pull up at the end of the drift and hope for a hookup.
I'll admit, I drift and lift in salmon season, but I make it look like nothing more than regular nymphing. It's so effective because most times your sitting in front of 50 fish stacked on top of eachother.
The indie doesn't make sense for the lifter, but it makes them look like they're actually fishing for stikes, and it washes a little of the blood off their hands. Personally I don't care how anyone fishes, as long as they make it look like they're following the laws, which most are very good at doing these days.

365123 THE SALMON RIVER AT LIGHTHOUSE HILL
PUBLISHED ON DEC 17, 2011 AT 17:00:17 - EXPIRES DEC 18 11:59 PM
For the Salmon River at Brookfield Renewable Power's Lighthouse Hill Dam, Altmar, NY. The following predictions are for flows in the river just below the powerhouse unless otherwise noted.
Information about the timing of water level changes downstream of the powerhouse is included after the forecast.
Until 11:59 PM Sun DEC 18, 1,800 CFS
All published flows are approximate and forecasts are estimates only. Actual flows will vary and can change quickly at any time. Always be alert and wear an approved flotation device. Never go in or near the water until you know and accept the risks you are assuming by being in this area!
Any changes to this schedule are normally made by 8:00 AM Daily. One or more flow increases may occur during this forecast period. Here is about how long it will take after a flow increase at the power plant for fast rising waters and swift currents to reach the following places downstream.. ALTMAR - 30 minutes; PINEVILLE - 1 hour and 40 minutes; RT 81 - 2 hours and 50 minutes; Blackhole - 3 hours and 30 minutes.
-
Wonder how long it's going to stay up?

Long enough to push back to 335 in 2 days

Until 11:59 PM Sun DEC 18, 1,800 CFS
All published flows are approximate and forecasts are estimates only. Actual flows will vary and can change quickly at any time. Always be alert and wear an approved flotation device. Never go in or near the water until you know and accept the risks you are assuming by being in this area!
Any changes to this schedule are normally made by 8:00 AM Daily. One or more flow increases may occur during this forecast period. Here is about how long it will take after a flow increase at the power plant for fast rising waters and swift currents to reach the following places downstream.. ALTMAR - 30 minutes; PINEVILLE - 1 hour and 40 minutes; RT 81 - 2 hours and 50 minutes; Blackhole - 3 hours and 30 minutes.
I'm shocked ..... who saw 1800cfs coming? :blink: :blink: Hope there not 2 days late on a real storm. >:(

The way a lot of people fish with spey rods up here is ludacris. Anytime I see someone with a double hander that is throwing nymph patterns (or even better, beads) with split shot it makes me a laugh a little bit...all that fancy equipment is used to be LESS effective than a spinning rod. I'd imagine a lot of spey guys do this because they're sick of not catching fish with the standard down and across swing....it just doesnt work up here in the winter. In their effort to cover as much water as possible they're forgetting one crucial element which is they must get that fly DOWN into the fishes cone of vision. Sure you'll catch a couple that might come up in the water column...but for the most part it will be a fishless winter with the standard approach. What most of them really should be doing is getting some tips, some BIG profile flies (trying to imitate plugs here) and get that fly down. Way down. This usually involves an upstream cast (upstream cast with a spey rod?!?! yes, upstream cast) to sink that fly into the zone and fish small sections of water at a time. It's the complete opposite of what you think you're going to be doing with a double hander but it's how you have to do it. Forget about covering big swaths of river with a single cast...if you're fishing a big fly the right way at this time of year you're only actually fishing the fly through maybe 10% of the entire drift/swing and the other 90% is sinking that fly into the zone.
It is too funny to watch people work so hard to bottom bounce with a spey rod, when they could be more effective with single hander or even better a spinning rod. But i'm sure most spey guys turn their noses up at the thought of using anything but a "fly rod"....I understand wanting a challenge but I think this is more of a case of using a spey rod just to say they did, even if they're using flies and beads that they guy down river is using on his spinning setup. If you're not going to swing...why even bother with a double hander?
-
Ernye.....seen a lot of spey guys kick serious butt. Best rod to use on the river is a switch rod.... hands down. Throw a spinning or CP reel in your vest and you can fish anywhere on the river and use whatever style of fishing will give you the best chance of hooking up.

There was a couple guys grinning at a double lock up on bobbers and noodle rods downstream yesterday as 2 switch rodders upstream reeled 2 in the dorsal mouth... now if I accidentally reeled in a dorsal mouth steelhead with a spinning rod it would be world war 3, but it's exceptable in the LFZ because they wear Simms waders and drive escalades..
My point... it's time to get with the times..end the fly zones and let everyone up there, when you add weight your not fly fishing, change it to artificals only and catch and release, then we can all enjoy the resource together.

Erny; good points you gave there... you are 100% correct with 90% of your drift dedicated to the 10% of strike zone...kinda goes hand and hand with 90% of fish holding in 10% of the water along with 10% of anglers catching 90% of the fish...lol...
I will admit to nymphing with a 2 hander though; high sticking can be lethal with a two hander. It also allows me to have greater line control enabling me to form zig zag patterns and mends that allows the fly to sink longer drag free; this can all be accomplished with little weight...hey maybe I was one of those guys youve...lol...
Hey all in all just my take on it...

where have you been have not seen you in a while keep in touch!!! :o :o

butt butt butt, when they "reach for the stars" and extend their arms others on da river are able to see their Simms Pro Guide label on their waders...
SNAGGER -- haha - I read your comment, we were basically thinkin the same thing but used different words.
p.s. If you think the SR Speytards get upset when a bobber guy hooks up, you should take a trip down to the Big D - the dry fly purists there really toss a hizzy fit when a float goes through "their hole"... I only fish the D a couple times a year, and must admit, it is almost as much fun pizzin off the Volvo/Escalade nitwits than catching fish. I actually had a few old guys yell at me because "me and my kind" have ruined tradition.
I told them they could either cry in the river, or go to the Catskill Fishing Museum to sniff bamboo and shed a tear in their single malt scotch.

eryn the problem i see is most fly spay swicth rodders have a bigger expense account then attention span .... i'm useing a simple 7 or 8 wt 9 ft rod tossing heavy weighted nymphs ,,, secret roll cast up stream !!!! duhhhhh the fly hit's the strike zone ...... anyone thats done any old style short line nymph fishing can rack steelies ....salmon river isn't that big a stream ...... i am not a great caster and never say i am yet i flyfish legit and i catch steel legit .... anyone can ..... i think what jama bobbers suck by the way i like a small foam indicator lol ;D
this spay rod swing a fly just ain't my kink but good luck to ya ;D i do like watching it
-
and i'm all about tradition i use slinkys on my noodle rod =))

Good call Shane! When I fished there with Trap, we flyfished only with a few hookups. Guys with the weight and indies crushed them!!! Guess Trap and I need simms waders!! Trap, you buy the escalade bro!! I'll fish with you!! ;D--KP Titelines!!
-
Shane; I agree with you to an extent.... massive of amounts of weight on a fly rod is not fly fishing... but proper amounts can be fished effectively while still instilling the traditional aspect of it... for the fly zones; it wouldn't bother me if they went to regular regulations.... it would force many of the dumbos who have only fished up there to try the rest of the river; and yes it is pretty sickening to see all of the guys up there hooking up on their lift up at the end of their drifts... especially the indie guys... I use both fly and spin so I couldn't care either way...
Hey;I remember that time I ran in to you back in 97 in the Altmar... you were referring to the fly zone as the fly snagging zone...lmao... it is a big overlooked problem that goes on up there; but I will say its not everyone...some guys are doing it right...
Tight lines...

Draker... I refrain from even fishing the Delaware system because of its snobbery. I started fishing it right when cucci and nastazi just started their school on the west branch back in the early 90's. It was all down hill from there... I just don't get it; fishing is fishing.... I know a few guys who still fish the Delaware system religiously; I more or less snicker to myself when they talk yo me about it...
-
i fish the Delaware and the Beaverkill and enjoy it have been since childhood .... i'm not going to bend to a volvo or saab simms wearing orvis carrying goof ball ..... go have fun and enjoy yourself ;D
-
Hey trap; I grew up fishing that system; great times were had; I personally have more fond memories of surrounding tribs like the calicoon,ten mile,mongaup and willowemoc... its been a while for me though... we usedto hit some hot breeder rainbows coming up the callicoon out of the Delaware in the early season... native brookie in the hike back to spots.... from what I hear though; the floods have taken their tolls on the spawning habitat in these creeks... tight lines man....
-
I really haven't noticed people fishing upstream of the bridge are any different than people fishing downstream of the bridge. There are a-holes, lifters, rippers, slobs, snobs and decent people on both sides of the bridge. Same with the dsr. I have no idea why there are fly zones but fifteen years ago I spent about the same money that I would spend on a new spin outfit and got a fly rod cause I wanted to fish up there....and I'm sure as hell not rich and drive a 10 year old toyota :)
-
I'm not picking on anybody tin .... dimebrite, just the whole river should be for everybody, if the DEC feels there should be a catch and release area, then fine, but let everyone fish it, not just a certain type of fisherman, that's just prejudice.

Yesterday I was fishing elbo to elbo with 5 spin guys..took a break, came back and one fly guy took up the whole run I was fishing, kind of pushed me into an area there was little fish holding, which is fine, it's free country and I know the fly guys are high matanence and take up alot of room, it would have been nice to go upstream and work my way into their area, but I can't. WHY NOT? I don't understand it, they can fish where I fish....all my fish were in the mouth and I released every one quickly unharmed..makes no sense to me.
-
I agree with you shane. Again not sure how it ended up this way but say the word and I've got a fly setup you can have.
-
. for the fly zones; it wouldn't bother me if they went to regular regulations.... it would force many of the dumbos who have only fished up there to try the rest the restfish of thethe river.I use both fly and spin so I couldn't care either way...

Like I have said before....If your going to have a "fly fishing only zone" it should be the ONLY place on the river... you can fly fish... in all fairness or unfairness..... :unsure: :unsure: :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:

It's the big famous rivers that bring out the A-hole fly guys, and those guys give the rest of us a bad name. I rarely fish with my fly rod on the Salmon River, but everywhere else I'm pretty much dedicated to the craft. A lot of guys say they hate fly fishing but they probably haven't enjoyed a good evening surface bite on dry flies. There is nothing like it, and you'll never get the chance to experience it if you only fish the caviar-fed trout.
As far as spey goes...it was meant to swing and skate flies, not nymph. Most guys on SR just use them so they can yank harder than everyone else and get away with it. Some do swing though...but not many.
-
thats not right either esox .... i DO HONESTLY FLYFISH ... i do not want any ANY special waters ANYWHERE !!!! i never have nor will i ever support any special waters that won't allow a 12 year old the same rights to fish beside me with his zebco 202 !!!! i do not need nor do i want a handycap .... i perfer the barrel ,nija or cut over the fly section ...just a better quility of people !!!! wheres all the purest and why arn't they standing up for bluntly ripping fish????
heck i was haveing fun voicing my opinions right while i was fishing .... and it wasn't all of them ...but at least half were rippers
-
there was more guys from the bridge to the turn in the lfz then in the real river from fraziers to the bend in altmar yesterday

that's not Right either Esox .... I DO HONESTLY FLYFISH ... I do not want Any ANY special water's ANYWHERE !!!! I never have nor will I ever support Any special water's that won't allow A 12 year old the same rights's to fish beside ME with Hi's Zeb's 202 !!!! I do not need nor do I want A handicap .... i prefer the barrel ,ninja OR cut over the fly section ...just A better quality of people !!!! where's all the purest and why ain't they standing up for bluntly ripping fish????

I Do Not believe that there should be any "only" zones.....maybe... with the exception of C&R ...where deemed necessary through collection of scientific data.... not personal feelings on harvest !!

me either. on the other hand the 1 fish limit thing has me for a loop. cause I think the cookie cutter theory is out the window. unless 30 inch 10 lb steelies are cookie cutters with a 15 lber thrown in about every 5 th fish
-
yeah let the boats pound those bows in the lake and practice c&r and a 1 fish limit in the river....the amount of fish we have has nothing to do with limits it is directlyl influanced bye the amount stocked .... toss another bucket of eggs in the pool and were all good
put and take ....see the 2 key words ....put and take ;D

Well Trapper I should of taken a spinning rod with me to bottom bounce lol. I didnt take any beads with me, just sacks and fly looking jigs a friend of mine ties and uses and does well with but it wasnt my day with the centerpin lol. Do people bottom bounce with a centerpin up there?
-
Great reading today, the last 4 pages, but i half to admit i dont know anything about the things u guys r talking about except the fly only zone, as far as the other no idea. I have so much to learn and appreciate the info guys. Adam did u c the pic of the drop tine u didnt respond? Hope to get up there soon and c u snag and all of the mff guys

The reason why I switched to an 11 foot 6 rod rated for 6-12lb line, was so I could bottom bounce with my Cp also if the float bite is off. I'm not a Cp finatic, my Cp is retired for the winter, just my 10 6 spinning rods now, one with a float and one set up for bottom. I might run my Cp on warm days, but thats it....

i never fished with a center pin but snagger frank adam scott all do......i'm not the one to ask about them

all i have to say is that as a simms waders owner , people buy them because they last, and the warranty is great and they are made in the USA!!! not because they are snobs or ah or becasuse they own a spey rod, best waders that are made ( hands down).
as far as the spey casting deal, alot of people use them not like they are made for, they are made to swing big nasty flies for big aggresive trout!!!! I swing big flies for trout up there and raley make it to the fly zones, shut them down completly for all i care!!!
all im really saying is that not all people that wear simms waders or carry a 14'9" spey rod are douche bags, i happen to both float and spey fish and enjoy both , but like the swing because of the masssive takes you get from the fish( nothing like you have ever felt unless you swing flies) its called a diffrent challenge, a trained monkey could float fish with beads or sacks, but to learn a real style is a gift!!
and the last word: this board is full of *** Kisser!!!! the only person that has usefull information to give is SNAGGER!!! and i thank him for that!!
kp maybe you do need some simms waders db!!
do ya drive a volvo or saab????

I love the $700 Simms G4 Zipper because it serves me well for quick access to my hand warmer.

i own 2 boats 3 kayaks and a canoe .....and i don't even ask KP to cover mine ;D

draketrutta,
dont be jealous, sorry you went through 5 pairs of those plastic bags you call waders!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Well..... now that you're a registered user and not just a lurking for information..... you can add some usefull information for the rest of us @#$ Kissers !! You parked next to us last week Monday at the Altmar lot... you parked there and walked across the bridge to the other side... I was the guy next to the green truck..... putting on the "Simms" waders. :o :o :o
I also believe I talked to you on a tributary out west..... Guy driving a Mercedes while wearing waders kinda sticks in my mind.......

ik i havent posted in a while but i love the discussions on this page :D :D hey trapp im haveing fishing withdrawls and i just bought a 98 chevy 1500 so when thats on the road i will be back in the fishing game n lookin for steel ;D
-
Well ed you are really putting some excellent fishing info on this site... Leech!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is more useful info from a lot of people on this site then you could ever give... I cant stand it when I see guys with 2 freaking post try to talk $#it about the guys on this thread... Go make your own thread... Hmmmm Benz, sounds like somebody was picked on as a kid, or maybe felt he wasnt good enough, I dont know the story nor do I wanna... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

i never fished with a center pin but snagger frank adam scott all do......i'm not the one to ask about them
I know but you posted the other day for me to be ready to switch to flies, single eggs orbottom bounce. Thanks for that info Snagger, I'm going to wait till spring to get my Cp back out and use my spinning rods for now.
-
hey fishing addict i looked for you sat ... seen our other friend and fished the cut with him
Getting my last licks in with muzzleloader, gonna try and make it up 2morrow... You heading up???
-
d**n! Nice fish guys.
-
Love my Simms waders and wading jacket. Best waders made for sure in my opinion. I don't drive a Saab or a Volvo...I drive a truck. Mine however are barely recognizable as they have so many years of egg goo on them that you can smell them from a mile away!
-
Metalslayer- what was the weight on that last one? 14 or so?
Sidenote: I know a guy who drives a ford escort wagon who owns a classic pair of SIMMS neoprene waders... :laugh:
-
Man Chris has been getting some slammers this year..good for him... ;D
-
IDK the weight w/o knowing the size of the guy and can't really see if there's alot of arm extension--nice fish though chunky and love the red cheeks---I'd say 12ish.
-
Whoops! asked the wrong guy. sorry.
-
I stand to be corrected.. It was 8 fish not 10, sorry Snagger..

Real nice pics and some big boys by your buddy. I was thinking about this this morning when I saw the temps up there today. Its probably not a good idea to have the fish out of the water with these temps and if you do not for long at all. I'd bet the ice forms almost immediately on their skin. I'm not trying to criticize but if it appears so I guess that goes with me stating my opinion on the matter since I do see fish out of the water in these pics. I'd bet the hands get cold real fast once you wet them to handle the fish too! A dry towel is a must in this weather as well.
At any rate if you must have them out then it shouldn't be for long at all unless you are keeping 'em.
Did you find they recovered well on the release Frank?
-
Man Chris has been getting some slammers this year..good for him... ;D
He lost another big one on Saturday !!Bigger than the 32 1/2 or 34 1/2 in the pic... jumped a bunch of times and finially headed down and he couldn't turn it !! Wasn't a 20 but it was 16 +
-
a trained monkey could float fish with beads or sacks, but to learn a real style is a gift!!
I'm not getting involved in the other bs but I do take issue with the above comment. It certainly isn't as easy as it might appear IMO. I have a 13' St. Croix float rod and have found in my experience that properly setting the hook with a float rod isn't as easy as you make it sound. I have lost more fish than landed with it at the SR and I've had enough on (including some bigger fish) that I never landed, not because they broke me off but because the hook came out. Conclusion, I didn't set the hook properly and it isn't so easy either. I believe Fishhooker (from Vermont) also made note of the adjustment that is required with this method. When I float with my spinning set up it's not an issue either only with the longer rod and CP reel. Once I get a bigger fish on then the adjustment will be how much drag to manually put on the reel to slow the fish down. Again, I don't believe that it's as easy as it sounds. JMO

Yea...That fish was 12ish.......I can't remember if it was 32 1/2 or 34 1/2..... we measured it....I think I took the pic ??or Adam did......

12ish........at 34 1/2 it was heavier than that. Gillripper1's 32 1/2 was just over 12.
-
neoprene is neoprene lol long as yer dry and warm .... personally i think all waders suck i rather have some light weight hip boots on....

It got up to 20 by 11 am with a high of 26 on the day. The tail was more than 4 1/2" Adam..............esox just proved it. Probably twice that 4 1/2.

aahhhaaa - another guy with a fancy $700 Simms G4 zipper!!!! ;D
************
Fishgalore - nice rod you got there. IMO the 13' rod makes it alot harder to set the hook than a shorter rod - say 10'6".
And keep an eye on your line to make sure it does not wrap around the tip of the rod. That was my biggest problem using a whippier 13' rod - and it is now a dust collector cause I prefer to use the shorter rod - I can live with a shorter drift.

You're right...........my 8' 6" Wild River does a much better job and that's a bit small for drifting. I guess I'm gonna have to figure it out or sell it at a loss! I think it'll come its just gonna take some real adjusting and turning the body a bit more and violently. I landed a nice 14 1/2" Brookie a couple weeks ago on the Pequest river with it. So it's not entirely a waste but I have to practice hitting em really hard with it. Any slack in the line and I'm toast.
-
Fish galore; real up the slack before you set the hook; I often drop my rod tip and reel a bit even if there's no slack to create a grace period before I cross their eyes...

All fish swam off just fine. Soon as I got them in the water BAM! they where gone! I think the hooks that stuck in the fish do more damage then the 30 seconds for a picture. I removed hooks and flys out of three fish yesterday.. My fly box is looking good! ;D

Fish galore; real up the slack before you set the hook; I often drop my rod tip and reel a bit even if there's no slack to create a grace period before I cross their eyes...
I'll try it! Thanks!

Those artic muck boots kick @ss man .... I can fish from the bridge to the second set of wires without putting waders on, can't hit all the spots, but I hit my share. ;D

Nice pics guys . Can't wait to get back

All fish swam off just fine. Soon as I got them in the water BAM! they where gone! I think the hooks that stuck in the fish do more damage then the 30 seconds for a picture. I removed hooks and flys out of three fish yesterday.. My fly box is looking good! ;D
Nice........glad you guys did well.

1800 is a cake walk if you know how to fish!
1,800 PFFFT!!!!
The river I was fishing in September was running at a 64 year high and I still caught a ton of fish. ;)
How high was it you ask?
Normal flow rate at that time is 3,500 to 4,500 CFS.
It was running at 13,000 CFS for most of the month. :w00t:
Gotta like a river that can run that high and not get blown out.

Looked for you this morning kowboy!! Nowhere in sight. I fished this morning till 1:30, went 0-7 today ??? 3 breakoffs, 1 breakoff from a guy who couldn't understand FISH ON, crossing my line, fishing with what seemed to be 15# BRAID line :cookoo: :cursing: :cursing: and the rest were from the hook coming loose. I thought it was just me, until I watched fishinaddict go through the same deals. Good fishing with you today Ryan!! Got a picture of a local kid who hooked and landed a beauty of a chromer!! He showed up with a simple setup, no waders, picked up a hook and blue netting, on his 3rd cast...BAM!! He ran outta running room with no waders. I took his rod and fish around the turn, after yelling at the guy who previously broke me off to move the hell outta the way, handed it back to him to land his fish!! Good stuff Steve!! Nice sharing the fishing hole with you today my friend!! Life is Good!!--KP 8)

Nice numbers Ryan...another banner day you had...I ended up landing 2 for 6....fishin was pretty tough for most guys I talked too when I took a walk down to the second wires and back. Not many guys around with the water as big as it is, over 1800cfs with run off, raining again right now..
What a warm day it was today, made it up to 47 degrees...amazing for this time of year...Fishin will stay somewhat tough until this water recedes a bit, theres a few places fishin ok, but most areas are covered by alot of water...Well maybe they'll be able to get her down to 750 after the holiday if it ever stops raining, until then we'll keep picking away at our high water spots...Driftboaters must be in heaven this month with all the higher flows..... ;D
All most Christmas and still no snow on the ground.

Shane,
From what I saw it was still pretty hard for the driftboaters today. Did not see many steel landed at all down at the wires. Maybe three or four. It was an empty river the last two days. There were more people out in the heavy rain yesterday than today.
Here's one we did get into. I'm glad the new guy at least got a taste of steel.

Man that water was clear...low December light makes the water appear more off colored...... pretty cool man!!!!! ;D

Empty River for now, but when it drops you'll be able to sell hot dogs at the altmar lots I bet, especially new years weekend. I saw more guys yesterday fighting the cold raw rainy conditions in 1800cfs, then I used to see in a week this time of year at 335, they'll be back... ;)
Actually Fishooker, what you experienced the last 2 days is how the fishin used to be at 335 before the DEC tripled the steelhead stocking numbers. The last couple days reminded me of the old days, alone in runs and working your @ss off for a hook up... chalk it up as experience...it will only get better with every trip...actually the reason why I walked to the 2nd wires was to take a picture of it at 1800cfs for future refference for the guys here.

I've got a running set of notes I keep on how the guide boats fish my favorite spots in different flows. Picked up quite a few new revalations today on high water conditions.

Your smart...always be aware of what's going on around you...As you know by now, I'm not a talker on the River, but I'm always looking..if someone hits a fish and I'm not, I'll make an adjustment like moving 3 steps up or down or cast an extra 4 feet...could be the difference between a good day or a mediocre day.

Here is a good weather info site for history and stuff like that.

I did a drift boat trip on wensday in the high water ,and it was tuff to stay hooked up . We hooked lots of fish but didn't land many . The fish were all really fresh . They would smoke your bait then come hammering right back at u and it was hard to get a good hook set .

you are very smart..
I'm sure you also work close-in to the bank on them inside corners as well. ;)

Great info !!When you find yourself getting into a rhythm drifting.... Before to long you're casting to the same exact spot over and over.... Which is great if there's fish there !! If there ain't then you'll waste your day !! Vary your cast till you hook up..... The key is remembering what you did so you can repeat it after you land your fish !! Chances are that spot will hold fish the next time too!! I had fun knocking the rust out re-learning bouncing bottom up there last week !!

Hey Shane; definitely an odd year; but im sure that snow will come heavy when it comes.... remember 07? I was up in mid january that year and still no snow on the ground with high water and highs in the fifties... a few weeks later there was 10' dropped in 5 days... with the lake temps up its just a matter of time for a lake effect squall... can't wait man

Kp Jr, my buddy Morgan and myself fished from 12:30-3:30, Jr. and I went 1-12 and Morgan went 1-5!! Man, what a blast we had. Good times had by all!! Saw a guy land 1 beside us with a few hookups as well. The temp dropped about 10 degrees while we fished. Jr. got cold so we called it a day! Snow was starting to stick on the ground when we left. OH, the fish landed was by the NINJA!! ;D Great memories and Good times Josh!! ;) The fish was released to catch another day!http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae145/KingPerch/IMAG0318-1.jpg[/img]](https://www.myfishfinder.com/fishing_forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi966.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fae145%2FKingPerch%2FIMAG0318-1.jpg&hash=d6daa83a7ff8bd2bda1f0802a42273d2) (http://[IMG)

Lol Shane; I knew a guy like you would have a good photo to show for it.... if I remember correctly this year has been very similar so far... dry summer/ wet and warm late fall in to early winter.....something tells me we're in for a dumping in mid winter....
I rolled in to town a few days after the big storm that year (and it was still snowing) to find my driveway blocked by a 10' wall of plowed snow and the rest of it was a compacted/settled 6' of rock hard snow.. took my kunota 1.5 days to dig out... I loved every minute of it though
-
Oh we are going to get hit, just a matter of time, I just hope when winter comes ..... it stays for 10-12 weeks straight, I hate multiple thaws.. property gets messy, keeps the river too high and is bad for ice fishin. It would be nice to go into a good snowy cold period from mid January til late march. Our ice season is on a serious delay right now. :'(
-
Hate to tell ya shane but our 90 day forecast is for above average temps. Not to say it's always right but normally it's spot on. We make 90% of our revenues over the next two months so they have pretty good info.

I hope your wrong..weather channel is calling for below normal feb-march...but as a whole, the winter will be above average considering all the heating days we've already used up.

Well I did the family thing yesterday and I visited with my daughter today at her moms house for a couple of hours. So I pack up and head up to the River.. What a day! I hit a fresh pod of Steelies. From 2:30pm-4pm I was hooking fish! They where very strong had to bump up my leader to 10# and there where a few 4-5 pounders and some 8-14 pounders as well (guessing). Here are the pictures of the 2 I landed out the 11 I had on!

Well I did the family thing yesterday and I visited with my daughter today at her moms house for a couple of hours. So I pack up and head up to the River.. What a day! I hit a fresh pod of Steelies. From 2:30pm-4pm I was hooking fish! They where very strong had to bump up my leader to 10# and there where a few 4-5 pounders and some 8-14 pounders as well (guessing). Here are the pictures of the 2 I landed out the 11 I had on!

Looks like another good shot of rain coming after sunset tomorrow, heres Wayne Mahar's lastest forecast.
A significant storm system will organize and head our way. However, this system is approaching our area somewhat slower than previously expected. Therefore, partial sunshine will give way to increasing and thickening cloud coverage. Wind: S 10-20 MPH. The most notable precipitation will start after sunset. Latest computer model information suggest that the heart of this system will track closer to our area.
This means a couple of things. (1) We will likely get steadier to heavier precipitation Tuesday night. (2) Precipitation type will likely be an issue with the rain/snow line nearby. A lot can change with respect to the exact forecast for Tuesday night. My forecast for now calls for rain changing to wet snow late at night. Accumulations by sunrise Wednesday will likely be limited due to antecedent wet conditions. Therefore, at this point I will forecast a trace to a coating to 1" by sunrise Wednesday. Watch for a flash freeze of roads at or after sunrise Wednesday morning.
Wednesday:
Flurries
Hi 23° | Low 13°
Watch for the potential for flash freeze of roads and sidewalks Wednesday morning. A combination of previously wet conditions Tuesday night, plus precipitation continuing as snow towards sunrise, plus a strong west-northwesterly wind importing falling temperatures through the 20's equals the potential for untreated roads and sidewalks to freeze up and contain a light accumulation of snow on top of it. Stay tuned for updates on this. Wind: WNW 15-25 MPH.

The view from the bridge in winter is much better than mid summer, i tried every angle and couldn't get a clear shot because of the over growth of trees at the top of the run, i just looked for a pic to show you but they were so bad i forgot i deleted them :laugh: you need a try pod Snagger !!!!

Hey Shane,
Where is that hole and how do you get there? I'd love to fish that in the fall!
Thanks
Jake

Could get really interesting around here Wednesday. Big rain storm headed our way Tuesday night and a full Reservoir. 20 inches of room up top and a solid shallow snowpack in the woods...River could get really big.
Redfield Reservoir.

Very descent rains..Storms picking up speed though and I see a dry slot forming, so maybe they won't have to run super big water..my guess would be a couple days at 1800 then back to 750....who knows with them though......we'll have to see how much is absorbed in the snow or if the snow melts up top, pretty cold out, snow flakes have been mixing in.....
Oh a good note.. Northwoods took some of my guys down today in the boat, they did extremly well considering it's almost new years and it looked like salmon season..easy 70 cars and or trucks and trailers in Altmar today...They went 12 for 30, said they could have done more, but some rubies were anchored on top of the runs..
-
thats the way northwoods kicking tail on the float trip :thumbup_smilie:

rubies or nubies?

I should have taken a picture today of all the truck/trailers ...... so many there was some in Malindas lot and on the side of the road...
I can't even imagine what Oneida will look like once word spreads to the computer that theres safe ice somewhere.... :laugh:

Yeah Rich, He's has been wanting to go with me. He was willing to try the CP. With two knee replacements and back issues he can only go in a few places. He was a trooper yesterday! ;) in a boat with him would be ideal so he don't have to walk to place to place.

Looks like winter has finally arrived...gusty winds...lake effect snows and much colder river temps from snowmelt.
Temps right now are in the mid 20's and the Rivers running 1300+ in Altmar 1500+ at Pineville.

Yes for sure, will have to get him in the boat this winter. I will be floating in the morning, have a 7 yr old and his Grandfather, this is their second trip in a month, the little guy is a monster. They had a great day the last time, glad to see we have more water for them this trip. If you are up, should be launching around 745 or so, no reason to rush anymore. Will post how we do, if I can, from th river!!!

Frank......Is that Scott from school? I don't wanna drop the last name, but his face looks the same, looks like he lost a lot of poundage. Last I knew, he still lived next to the river in Caud. Good job guys.

Hey Rob I might be up Saturday, they keeping the water up??
no, looks like 900 for tomarrow then 500 for Saturday
-
Well thats better than 285...... How was the fishing today
-
Do you guys think the fishing will be any good tomorrow or should i head to oak orchard?
You really can't compare the Oak to this River, but upper 30's..still 900cfs and a Friday is looking pretty good, it's going to be a mob scene this weekend between drift boats and fishermen and good weather, maybe 50 degrees Sunday. Being that waterline forecast only goes til tomorrow night, I would think theres still one more drop after 500cfs Ryan. Time to abandon the high water spots.

Awesome pics, Lehigh. Some of those are frame-able!

LV I really enjoy you're shots bro , thanks alot :thumbup_smilie:

Well it was a little tougher today, but we still managed to scratch out 10 bites, and landed 3 of those. All of our action came on plugs. When we launched at 815 it was 3 degrees, so I knew it was going to be a tough day with
7 yr old Keegan, and his grandfather Keith. Started across from your house Shane, float fished for a few minutes before the little guy's hands got cold. So I was going to put 2 of the plugging rods out while we fished for a while longer. I let the first rod out, set it in the holder, turned to grab the second rod, and Keegan was all over that first rod as it was doubled over with his first ever salmon. After a 5 minute battle, I slid the net under a nice male Ho, around 11 lbs, the smiles were set for the rest of the day. We had another Ho grab the plug while on anchor, but he came unbuttoned. Had 3 slaps right after pilling out of that spot, got one of those, and took the other one down below the trestle, like Shane said, it is going to be crowded this weekend. Good luck guys, I will try to get the pics up tomorrow. Good Luck

Hey Frank I must of just missed you, hadn't fished in a few days so walked over to the bridge...wow was it mobbed, so I litterally walked to where those pictures were taken without being able to cast my rod..it was that crowded, so fished right there for about a half hour, nothing ... then that guy in the orange packed up and I moved in there and had 7 on in 40 minutes, didn't land any as I just was fishing in my kneee boots, but it was some quick fun..Nice job guys... ;D
-
Fished the upper ball park this morning with Frank and Chris, Frank went 1 for 2 early on but no other takers while i was there, headed back to Altmar around 10 to regroup and warm up. Ended up fishing the runs below the Altmar bridge with Murray for the rest of the day and had pretty good action in the early after noon, K.P., and K.P Jr stopped by for a while to wet a line with us, nice to see you K.P like i said stop up tomarrow if you have time ;) Snagger even made time to get out for a while with his busy schedule :whistling: got a bunch of pic's from the day for ya ;D

Happy new year to everyone!
Hope you're not recovering too slowly from last night. Got up around 7 and let the dog out...and man, it's almost t-shirt weather out there, strange to have it be this warm on the first of the year.
It's seems like a lot of people on here are having one heck of a season and I hope it all keeps up for everyone. I havent been able to get up the SR quite as much as I would like but plan to sometime this week, then off to Albany for a couple weeks...give the waders and boots a chance to dry I suppose. I've been hitting Oswego as often as possible and have been taking some really nice fish. Last few days have been tough, water temp dropped pretty quickly with that cold snap we had. I hope we get atleast a few weeks of consistent weather....this freeze and thaw pattern we're in right now is for the birds. It's been keeping the water levels up on the river for WAY too long (mid-November)...if we had some consistent cold weather atleast any precip. we got would be snow. Just gotta wait it out.
Here's one from Jan. of last year...

"20 POUNDS IN THE 2012 ROUND" gotta great ring to it Trap! ;) HAPPY NEW YEARS TO ALL !!--KP!! 8)
Back in 1996 through the winter of 1997 we had a 20lb. club here at the lodge, what a year, this year has some available, but it aint 96...I just want one, haven't got one since 2001. Lost 2 so far since I started fishing on Halloween.., only thing keeping me fishing steelhead right now is the chance of a large one...
44 degrees with a stiff east wind right now, snows really melting today, creeks should move a bit this afternoon, maybe just enough to keep it at 900 a little while longer.
Happy News Years everybody!!!!!! ;D
