SALMON RIVER , SALMON AND STEELHEAD THREAD...

[fishinfred]

My earliest fish on the Salmon was on August 10Th, 2001 on the estuary below the 103 bridge.  I was surprised to see a pod of fish swimming below the bridge.  Got a feeling it will take the extra water of Labor Day to get them moving this year.  Based on what the boats are doing, I am not expecting a good year, but hope springs eternal...

I got clips from the news paper with some buds, 1 was August 7 in 1978 and another posted in the paper aug 17 , 1981 so I believe they were caught a few days before , taken from the willow tree hole (Barclays)to the staircase

Let see not to long ago guys were catching fair numbers of them in the eastern basin
Pull up the Lake Ontario page and read some of those reports , this may help

Nice job chow.  Bigredfishing and I gave it a really good go yesterday and got the skunk! 

[Chowdaire]

Thanks. Got a couple more the same size in the first hour Saturday morning then it died for me. I don't know much about these salmon and what will get them moving but I can tell you I never saw a screen so loaded with fish as I saw out there Friday night. Almost as many fish as there were boats chasing them on Saturday.

u were lucky to get that salmon in ur clip from fly to the spin doctor is open!! those new clips suk on the spin doctors not wide enough to move around

How far out were they? Can't wait until they reach the river...

Nice job Chow!  I have been out and not done well...broke off one fish that was pretty disappointing, I must have had a nick in the line somewhere...I agree I marked piles of big fish everywhere but I couldn't find any cold water.  You did well! I also found a fray on both my down rigger cables...I'm glad they didn't break off, I had to cut them above and re-terminate...I stopped at Woody's and bought a couple new weapons, I should be ready to go for next time...

Wow. You got zoomed in on that. Good eye. Not sure when it opened but luckily I saw it and closed it before sending it back out.

Fish are out from probably 100-200fow. Wouldn't think it'll take en long to run the 3 miles to the rivers once they're ready.

Thanks, hunt. Fish were picky. All at the same depth with basically the same setup. Dragged a bunch of other stuff around and nothing else moved.
