Title: SALMON RIVER 2013 SALMON AND STEELHEAD THREAD
Post by: SNAGGER on Jan 03, 2013, 10:11 AM: Well were another year older and another season is in the books and what an unusual one it was.. Drought conditions have plagued the area since our snowless 2011-12 winter It was a very low water year starting in April and lasting straight through Salmon Season and into Steelhead season... Highlights of the year were the incredible dropback season in April and early May ,an "Epic" September Salmon run that rivaled the Great "Run of the century in 98", and the Monster 3 day Steelhead run caused by the increase water flow ahead of "Sandy"...
There was some lulls and some crowded conditions as the River seams to get more popular every season, but all and all it was a dynamic season.. We have now temporarely caught up on water and are enjoying a great beginning to our Winter steelhead season, I hope everyone learned a few things and enjoyed the pictures and hope everyone has a very prosperous and successful 2013 season... Snagger...

Got down to 7 below zero last night, but with a 750 flow, slush should not be a problem from about sportsmans pool and upriver after sun works on the air a bit..

Cold big moon from the other night...

Post by: Centerpindrew on Jan 03, 2013, 10:14 AM: This past September 12’ Salmon season was definitely an epic season. Fantastic run even with the low water conditions. Great steelheading as well. I saw some really nice sized fish being taken from the river. I am certainly looking forward to seeing what this 2013 year is going to bring!!

I’ll be up this Saturday to hopefully kick off my 2013 season with some nice Chrome!!

Tight lines…

Post by: cNr1day on Jan 05, 2013, 12:12 PM: A goby in Hawaii that can climb waterfalls over 100' in height. Wonder if any of our gobies can do anything like that. If they can it'll be a foregone conclusion they'll spread pretty much everywhere

Title: Re: SALMON RIVER 2013 SALMON AND STEELHEAD THREAD
Post by: SNAGGER on Jan 05, 2013, 04:40 PM: Only time will tell Jason, snowmelts a tricky game, alot compacted today, roofs slid off in the warm temps. Theres a good 20-30 inch base on the Tug, but thats not alot for them, 2 warm days and nights with rain and were in the 1800cfss business or higher.

If I had too guess, it goes back to 750 Thursday.

Crisp and clear over the Lehigh Valley tonight and with the 1/2 moon lighting things up conditions are perfect for night shoot-in...got a few shots of the Cementon, Northampton bridge crossing the Lehigh River, the towering stacks in the back ground are from the old Northampton cement works and one of the Power Plant in Northampton off RT329

Cool shot man!!!! Spot on focus good exp and very good composition :thumbup_smilie: i was planing on doing the same kind of shot but the cloud i was watching fell apart before i could get set up for it...just never seems to be enough time in one night to get r dun. I was forcing my shots last night as it was so i wouldn't spend to much time in one place attracting unwanted attention...i was only doing 30 second exp when i should have ben doing like 3 to 5 minuets with a much lower ISO and higher f stop

Post by: SNAGGER on Jan 21, 2013, 12:29 PM: Fishing was exceptional yesterday in the 50mph winds and whiteouts....... bump to 900cfs did the trick... guys here cracked them good, both on floats and bottom bouncing....second weekend in arow fishing was great, last weekend had a guest hit 35 in LFZ and Marky did 26 on his driftboat, probably the best numbers I've ever seen in 34 years in January, I know I've said that 3 winters in a row now, but its true, it just keeps getting better.......

We made 11 trips last season and fished there 33 days. We only made 6 trips so far this season. Staying at Shane's AOL not only do you benefit from the knowledge of one of the best, if not best fisherman on the Salmon River but also meet many great guy's.We can't wait to get back up.

Rob, I've been taking venison there for processing for several years now...everthing they make is excellent(except their kielbasi...germans can't make kielbasi!LOL)...or I wouldn't drive that far for processing. I make some of my own sausage...breakfast and hot italian...but I have Lebanon bologna and dried beef made there. They have free samples of everything. They just called the other day and my dried beef is done...I was going to go down but a friend is going to pick it up for me. There smoking process is the best...their bacon and hams are killer. Depending on traffic...that can't be more than 25 minutes for you???

Post by: fishshack on Jan 27, 2013, 07:35 PM: Ran up to the river this afternoon for a few hours. The middle river had lots of slush so we went up top. There were lots of guys taking advantage of the nice weather so it made it a bit hard to find a good spot. We bounced around and picked away at them. We ended up going 9 for 20ish. We caught fish on flys, sacks, and worms. Man- Lots of snow in Altmar but the trails on the river were packed down nicely so it wasnt bad getting around. River dropped quite a bit from last week. Water was low and clear so we dropped down to 4 lb leaders which seemed to help. Great day to be out.

How much rain ya getting Snag..

Well we had a nice sleet/icestorm yesterday, since then just some showers, its knocking the fluffy lake snows right down there now, tommorrows rain could grab some of that snow and puff the creeks up, gonna be a close call, ice jams look likely in some areas. How high the river goes ultimatly depends on how much snow we loose, the res is full, so wouldn't take alot...

Post by: SNAGGER on Jan 29, 2013, 09:34 PM: With the heavy rain occurring right now and extremly fast snow melt going on tonight, I called the power company, they made 5 feet of room last week running that 1100cfs, so we should be able to handle the flash flooding that might occur up top tomorrow... They said they'll be monitoring it tomorrow. That 30 inches Monday is down about 8-10 inches already, shes going fast...... temps tomorrow could smash the old record of 54 in syracuse, could hit 66 degrees. Then More heavy rain again tomorrow night.

Post by: fishshack on Jan 30, 2013, 06:12 PM: Awesome steelie!!! Biggest I've seen this year :o. I went up with the boys today and we struggled a bit. I went 4 for 11, and the boys each landed 1 while losing a few others. Mostly all cookie cutters except for 2 decent ones. We worked hard for the ones we did get. Flys worked best for me today. Most of the guys I talked to also said it was a bit slow. I thought the water would be much higher with the rain and snowmelt. It really didnt seem to be any higher than it was over the weekend. It sure beat sitting on the couch though.

Post by: kc on Jan 30, 2013, 06:41 PM: I went 0 for 3 in the school house today. A few others had some hook ups, Chris did his usual spanking on them. But even he said it was a slow day.
Was a great day to be up there though. Glad I made it before they went to 1500.
I can tell this story because Chris doesn't check here. With in my first few casts this am I hook up. Chris had cast and my fish must have run under his line. He reels up and his fly is on my line, so goes to bite it off so I can fight the fish. You guessed it he bit my line off and there goes the fish. He has given so many tips and ideas I can forgive him this time. Just don't let it happen again. lol
I told him I was going to tell Frank that Chris was so jealous that he bit my line off.
See you all next time,

If i had a dollar for every time i herd that i would be shooting a D-3 by now LOL. I'm actually a mechanic specializing in fuel transportation and delivery equipment, trailers, trucks. But seriously man i really appreciate all the positive feed back and any constructive criticism ya wanna throw out there...after all photography isn't an exact science, your interpretation of a scene might not be the same as mine that's where the creativity part comes in for me, doing long exp at night gives you time to manipulate the look of your scene, at that point your not really taking a picture any more, your creating an image. Honestly with out the positive feed back from the pic's and the motivation they instill in others to raise the bar a little higher, i probably would have ran my course with it by now, lost intrest and sold out. Thankfully that's not the case and the responce is only driving my intrest level higher...so i thank you all for that!!!

River still 1600cfs from that warm up... hot fishing settled in quite a bit now, should be a great February after these new fish get upriver, in winter it takes them a little longer ... usually a week after the warm up/higher flows...... next week with milder weather and lower flows could be really good...

Read the article, i found more on line about the history, just goggle Hockendaqua bridge. I do remember the dam Rick but not when it was a working dam. Seen a bunch of pic's when it was up and working. I never really spent much time around the river when i was small, living in lower Fullerton i spent most of my time on the Jordan creek chasing trout, wasn't till we moved to Hockey 27 years ago that i was introduced to it by friends of mine.

Post by: lehigh vally on Feb 09, 2013, 11:17 PM: Crisp and clear 18 degrees with a light wind tonight, took a drive up north but it was all for nothiing any way...There was no safe spot for me to shoot from, i was looking for a pic of the traffic crossing over the new turn pike bridge and the scenery around it...the best spot was on the north bound shoulder of RT-248, not a good idea so i took what i could get for now. I need to do more research before i head out to a location. I also snapped a shot of a machine at Rock Hill concrete off 248, the last pic is from the south side of the Lehigh Gap bridge... well try for better pic's next week :-\

Title: Re: SALMON RIVER 2013 SALMON AND STEELHEAD THREAD
Post by: lehigh vally on Feb 10, 2013, 02:23 PM: Its all real man one 30 second or so exp for each pic....no post editing trickery eather just the normal light adj, contrast, crop and may be some saturation but not for the night shots there usually over saturated as it is. I'm working on de tuning my color setting for night shooting so they wont be over driven with color any more. I didn't get much time in last night but we did learn something. One thing that has improved lately is the sharpness and clarity of my pic's after figuring out how to focus the camera manually at night, if your relying on the set it and for get it infinity setting you might want to try manually focusing your camera to infinity. My opinion on setting your lens to infinity, if you want your focus bang on you need to be a little more precise with it...setting it to the symbol on most lenses will get you close...once you have it set then you can leave it alone but only for the shots your set up for, allways check it when your framing or moving to a new location just a little bump of the ring will throw it out. If you want to learn how to do it you will have to meet me in person with your camera and a good try pod one night. If your happy with the results your getting now, keep doing what works for you
Title: Re: SALMON RIVER 2013 SALMON AND STEELHEAD THREAD
Post by: Drifter_016 on Feb 11, 2013, 10:20 AM: Another tip for manually focusing @ night is to use the display zoom on your camera if it has that feature.

Point your camera towards a good star use the display zoom (not lens zoom) to zoom in on the star and then focus.
My camera has 5X and 10X display zoom so I zoom in to 10X in order to focus. Then I zoom back out and compose my shot.
Title: Re: SALMON RIVER 2013 SALMON AND STEELHEAD THREAD
Post by: lehigh vally on Feb 11, 2013, 11:25 AM: Good tip Drifter for those of you who have that feature, some people probably dont even know they have it, i actually haven't herd of it just digital zoom but that's for the lens. The way I'm doing it Drifter is a little old fashion and will work for any one with a view finder. Its not that complacated but i would rather show some one then try and explain it over the net. What ever way your doing it you don't want to zoom in and focus on something way off in the distance then zoom back out and take your shot, that will never work, the lens must be focused at the mm your shooting at ;)

Looks good to me! If you can take a pic at night then what light do you need? It's just a matter of how you adjust the settings! Kind of like making the proper adjustments when trying to catch fish! Enjoy the time upstate!

Post by: lehigh vally on Mar 01, 2013, 08:17 PM: Reading light is like reading water, fisherman are allways looking for perfect water to fish, photographers are allways looking for perfect light to shoot in night or day. The only problem is once you find it, it never lasts long

Post by: ErnyeJSES on Mar 04, 2013, 09:05 AM: Been a while. As many of you know the fishing has been outstanding this year. The river has been producing a ton of fish for most, and the bite on the swing has been fantastic. Since the water is high I thought I'd share a few photos from this year.

No floats here. Can't feel the take with a float...they take away a huge part of what steelheading fishing can be.

This weekend, or next. Have to make the big decision as to whether I want to pass up the last weekend of Pike and Walleye on the ice to throw flies, or If I want to ice fish the last weekend and then go the weekend after.

We still have 18 inches of ice in all my favorite ice fishing spots. Tough to beat being on the ice in 40 degree weather

Sorry I haven't been over here, just too much to do anymore in winter, but lately with the higher flows 900cfs and 1200cfs and mid winter weather fishin has been off a bit for bank guys, Markie did 7 for 13 on Tuesday on his driftboat, which is down from about 20 hook up average in mid February. Big march sun, longer days and a slightly lower River soon....... things could heat up quick.

I am new to this forum and relatively new to fishing the salmon river. I was hoping for a recommendation for a drift boat guide. I fly fish and am looking to really get to know that river a bit better on top of catching a lot of fish!
Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Jomo empty your inbox it's full. BTW neilc posted Lehigh Valley's picture above of the drift boat capt. I recommended.

Go back a few pages and read or to last years thread titled the same as this one only "2012." All of your questions will be quickly answered if you do that. Start at p 1.

Two family members of mine fished saturday and sunday and it was rather slow. Fish were visible in altmar but lots of guys too... fish were being hooked in altmar at a glance... local tribs went from fishable levels yesterday to being blown out today...id be shocked if brookfield doesnt bump it up within the the next day or two... water is running off and puddled everywhere

Post by: vogel451 on Mar 13, 2013, 04:51 PM: Report: Managed to get north today with a friend. Fished 9am-1:30pm. Did alot of looking around to see how the creeks looked, learned a little more about the area. Everything looked great. We ended up fishing Orwell Creek for most of the day with permission from a land owner along with fish creek. My friend and I both went 4 for 5 on steelies and I also landed one Brown. We both thought things were still a little slow but had fun. Also stopped at the bridge in Altmar for an hour and landed one nice fresh silver steelie and witnessed 3 or 4 other hookups.

Up north is blow the f out snag whooha!!

Yep it is, don't get too stoked though, we go through this every spring, the first blow out is pure snow melt, very cold runoff, most of this water is used to re open the creeks, send that ice out too lake Ontario, being it was a 3 day thaw though, a reasonable amount of fish should set up in the lower reaches, no fish will hop the platforms in woodville with these cold air temps, would highly doubt any fish jump the platforms at south above firehouse either, most of your fish will settled in down lower on both creeks, North Sandy has more easilly accessable fishable lower reaches, south you got too walk a bit, should be a descent bead/sac bite though if it doesn't get too cold, this will be a warm up too the real bonanza that still awaits us in a couple weeks,... good luck if you go, should be more fishable tomorrow morning....high today, but not unfishable....

   I would have too drive up to the res. to make a real prediction, if we hadn't had that 3 day warm up it would have been heading down for a bit before going back up, now in may stay at a higher level like it is now til the Tug snowpack starts melting again, I would think 750 plus through late March, then a 1800 period or higher in Early April....

   The water is very cold right now, but eventually..gradually each day it will begin warming from the strong March sun... Every year there is a week long window where the bites really good just priar too the Tug hill meltdown, then it slows til that is finished and the good bite resumes again as the waters drop and re warms in mid April. Most of last falls run has spawned or is spawning right now, most fish being hooked will be dropbacks after this week and they like too feed after a long winter in the River.

Post by: SNAGGER on Mar 15, 2013, 08:34 AM: After just reading this, looks like a very normal March / April, unlike the unusual winters/springs of the last 3 years... Slow melt means medium flows, not as many big spikes like some years.

Went to the Richmond night race 4X, wanna talk about having good times 6 hours down on a bus mix en it up the hole way down, a stop off for dinner before hittin the track...then 6 or 7 more hours of non stop action till we hit the bus for the ride home. Never did like bus rides always drove my self to the tracks, but the 12 hours of driving and drinking dont mix so taking the bus for that run was OK with me

Talk about a party...The Glen used to be really wild until they started limiting the crazy stuff. We used to go every year,camping out from wed/thursday?...on line with wristbands some years waiting for the track to open ..and drink and party , for 3 days ...right on the fence near turn 10...scaffolding, tarps ,tents ,campers..until sunday morning...race day.A big concert on friday nite and Plenty of race action in those 4 days...iroc race, busch race..all the qualifying and practices...then the big race on sunday. The track cleaner,blower,dryer truck machinewould wake you up way to early in the a.m.Lots of fun...more family friendly now up there i here.Good fishin' nearby too.

Nice pics Rob...got some nice ones of dale sr. from watkins glen...been to pocono a few times tooand had fun in the infield..i'm not into it as much any more...but still catch some races if nothing else is going on fishwise.There was thousands of empty seats at Bristol today....at one time it was sold out for years and years...even hard to get a scalped ticket...they were like gold!Talk to Larry at Larry's oswego salmon shop... he loved Dale Sr...Larry drove and raced oswego for many years..a real good driver he was.

Today they have gone back to the old dirt track days when they gave tickets away just to get body's in the stands for the cameras.

They sent us the renewal forms each year, and always got a Christmas card from, and signed by, Bob Baher. Camping was free and a blast, and everyone had fun. Then Bruton Smith took over and everything changed. Now, you can walk up to the gate and buy tickets on race day. Just last night, the wife got a notification from the speedway that they have now banned smoking. Really? At a NASCAR track? That's like dissing the money that built you.... ::)

Unreal.. maybe they don't want to alter the smell of the good year rubber and sunoco racing fuel exhaust fumes wafting through the stands! Nascar has some problems...big multi-car teams , with big sponsors have made it tough for the little guy to compete week to week. they share their track info on the limited amount of practice time,making it harder for the small , less funded teams to get a good race set up. Very hard to compete now with the big teams.Sundays are for fishin' anyway...night races are ok!

Sounds like winter is really hanging on up your way Snag..
I kinda remember stories about some mud bogs and pit..but that was before my time going up there. I do remember "Gumby" at the Glen.These funny, party animal, guy's from Rochester area would set up this huge, TIKI Bar,with a band stand, private "dirty movie" room ,.. bikini and less, banana swall , er , eating contests nightly on the band stand....with prizes. Everyone was invited, music, fun, food, booze. They sold Gumby T shirts to help pay for all the set up...all the gumby character pics..i never understood the Gumby connection, but they were the Big , must stop location , at the Glen for years. They all loved stock car racing too .Then the track and police shut them down...crazy place back then.

lower the better right ?

Well 1200 can be a little tricky lower end, Altmar fishes great at 900cfs and DSR fishes great at 1200cfs, but some of the faster water in Pulaski inbetween gets tight and the good key spots can get taken more easilly in higher flows, lots of room mid river from say sportsmans to pineville, but more walking involved per hook up.. Easiest way too sum up the fishin right now, is where still in mid winter mode, set your goals low and if you crack a nice pod of dropbacks or a few freshies, then it will be a nice suprize.

Post by: Smells Like Fish NH on Mar 20, 2013, 01:19 PM: Id start higher up at the altmar bridge and work your way down, some great fishing there....going to pineville you are missing the 1st few miles of the river where the drop backs are more concentrated as they move through.

Im no expert, but Ive caught a fish or two there...

Id start higher up at the altmar bridge and work your way down, some great fishing there....going to pineville you are missing the 1st few miles of the river where the drop backs are more concentrated as they move through.

Im no expert, but Ive caught a fish or two there...
I like your confidence :thumbup_smilie:

but Tug hill just 15 miles northeast of here did 30 inches in the last 2 days...
Good snowpack still building for spring.

Post by: Jomo on Mar 20, 2013, 07:35 PM: What does all this snow mean for the fishing in the next week or two? If it stays cold do the dropbacks get delayed?
Do the steelhead start heading back with a change in temperature, flow, or is it just time?

Still trying to figure out when the fishing will pick up!!

Post by: SNAGGER on Mar 21, 2013, 09:12 AM: Another 2.5 inches in Altmar ny last night, but towns on the jefferson county line got hammered last night again, also towns on the Tug that drain to South Sandy have been absolutely pummeled last 3 days, 3-4 feet...expect much higher flows this spring there, meanwhile north sandy will be low, just 3 miles away.. Its pretty cool when this happens in the spring.. warm low water and suckers in north sandy, and water so cold in south can hardly get a bite, got to love Tug hill snowpack.

Snowfall forecast for next 36 hours, some towns on the northern Tug hill which don't drain into our watershed here on the salmon river could end up with 5-6 feet total this week.

With all the new snow, I would plan on high waters sometime in mid April once they re fill the reservoir and the Tug lets loose, no sense waiting any longer for this cold too break, we might miss out on managable water levels, I would think the float bite really gets rolling next week and is going gang busters the first week of April, after that its anybodies guess, if we get alot of rain in April, most of the month could be blown out with 1800 flows, great for boats, but not so great for bank guys.... I think we are safe through April 7th anyways looking at the forecasts.

Post by: CTFishBum on Mar 21, 2013, 06:30 PM: Hello out there! I have been reading this forum for about 2 weeks and decided to join so I could tell all you guys your reports and tips are Awsome, and very helpful I have been fishing all over New York and love the places I go for fish. Mainly trout and salmon. Since this is the salmon steelhead thread I wanted to write about an awsome opportunity I was just offered and took up on. It was a free guided drift down the Salmon river for steel! Its for veterans and was arranged by a fellow named Doc. A Vietnam vet himself as well as a guide. A few local guides are involved some other vets besides myself and my little brother are attending and an awsome little joint called the fox hollow lodge is puttn US up for free There are other trips in the works and if any vets are on here and intrested just pm or email me and I will tell ya how to register on Docs site. He is a stand up guy and this will be my first trip for steelhead and im stoked. I also have another trip next weekend with a buddy which will be my second trip ever and thanks to Doc I will have some spots to hit up ! Lastly if anyone is willing to spend a few hours with my buddy and I next week and maybe help us hook into a few by any legal means necessary, we would gladly take you out for a few libations after words! Tight lines, keep the reports coming and i will definitely post about the veterans drift trip and look forward to hopefully meeting some of you in the future

It was something tho man. I love the salmon river, I dont know why I never went for chrome ??? Better late then never! Anyone willing to take me up on that offer pm or email me !!!

Right on!!! I had my son practice casting in the backyard with a push button at age two... now at age six he casts and drifts an open face all by himself. Im figuring at the rate hes going,by age 10 or so i can finally start fishing again because he'll be old enough to untangle his sisters line whos only two years old right now... :laugh:...

I don't even fight them I let her do all the work. I don't know man, I love both of my Cameras. I like the Cannon for the clearity with its lenses.
I like the Olympus for the colors and Some of the pre sets and in manual during the day time the colors are awesome. Night time shots like you take, with the Olympus I can't do.

I mostly fish for natives on ultralight tackle down here, mostly little mountain streams that don't get stocked. the fish aren't big , but they're fun.
Every once in a while I'll pick a decent one. This was west Allentown on a small stream Christmas eve.

Had some lodgers do well Saturday on floats,12 for 14... but with wintertime gigs, not a true spring bite yet, tougher bite Sunday with driftboats lined up like train cars and parking lots mobbed, hopefully everyone got there cabin fever behind them and the River goes back into a slightly less crowded mode, bet it takes til tuesday before the bite returns after that tramma the fish went through this weekend.

Post by: Braz315 on Mar 26, 2013, 04:02 PM: My limited experience steelhead fishing is no float bouncing eggs pff the bottom. If you are using a float for fishing for steel, is the float supposed to be positioned so the eggs are along the bottom or so the split shot that is positioned above the eggs is floating along the bottom?

Here's most of what you'll ever need to know about shotting patterns. http://www.raventackle.com/Shotting%20Patterns.pdf (http://www.raventackle.com/Shotting%20Patterns.pdf)

Most rivers do NOT have uniform depth or contour bottoms you have to figure out and adjust the depth accordingly.

You don't want your splits dragging bottom, theres no sense in having a float on, just bottom bounce.. I always have mine vertical, if I'm in 4 feet of water, I got 4 feet of lead under my float, guys who drag bottom with 6-8 feet of lead under a float in 4-5 feet of water are just flossing some of there fish anyways like the indie ropers above the altmar bridge, now if your gonna start your drift below you and let it hero drift in stronger current well below you, you have too add more weight to keep it vertical....

Snagger has ton's of knowledge. I can remember some day's during salmon season. If you didn't come back to AOL with 3 hen's he wasn't a happy camper. The knowledge snag gave me was learn how to read the water. 16 year's and I learn every year. The river changes every year. Have fun with the drop back's rock.

Fly rod Bootom bounced some early afternoon, then moved and swithched to spin/bobber ...still a little rusty with bobber fishing. Moved a few times, and finally got to see my bobber go down late in the day, but no fish landed for me.
I had a nice day on the river , and got to meet some super friendly MFF members -KC , Kowboy..then fished with Nightfisher..stopped at Northwoods ,to let my campground neighbor Bill know i couldn't stay for dinner, and got to officially meet Northwoods Mark too.I wish i could have stayed and fishedtoday, but family stuff got in the way.Hope you're catching a bunch today nightfisher...great job on the fish you guy's...hope to see ya's on the sr real soon.

Post by: SNAGGER on Mar 30, 2013, 10:07 PM: Did a drive to the Redfield Reservoir, yep shes down, I measured it at 14.5 feet down, explains why it got shut off, snows deep too, at reservoir level it measured 32 inches in places and as little as 23 inches, soaked with water, but for now its a gradual melt., Stopped at the hatchery brook, first time I've seen fish in it this month, 4 days ago it was empty across the road, not one fish....today there was tons of green fish and some darkies thrashing all over, there late, but they arrived.
Freshies coming through Pulaski today too, should really start fishing good from here on out.......

Grabbed the CP and fished the last 3 hours, very good float bite, went 7 for 14, all good battles but between the cold weather and the stiff action on my rod I dumped quite a few as I was beaching them... Great afternoon. Float bite is on!!!

Had Mrs Kowboy with me and knew it would be along day if she was going to half to b in that cold so brought the pop up shelter i use for deer hunting and the heater buddy and she was golden lol she didnt fish much but she said she was warm lol. Nice seeing some of my friends like Chris, glenn Brian and his dad, Brian and his buddys. Cant wait to go tomarrow and see what other friends will come by. The fish were cooperating with most of us and everyone was enjoying the day. For me today it was pink worm and yellow bead

Computer issues for me the last few days...better late than never, i guess.Got to meet and fish and BS with some funny,friendly,awesome die hard fishermen/outdoorsman wed. afternoon/evening. Snagger , always nice seeing you, Yarn em in ,Deadeyez, drowndin'dots, adam2000, glen and others. I got to hear snagger bellowing "Bingo" downriver, multiple times. Thursday i decided to fish below the boats, and stayed away from the crowds at the popular pools and managed to land only one of the ones i hooked.Took a long break and bs'd with the boy's again at the aol lodge. Snag showed me a couple neat set ups....thanks a bunch Snag...much appreciated. No fish landed for me in the afternoon...but a fun time anyway. Her is a pic, not a real picture fish, but my first one landed on the pin in 2013...See you guy's during the week..stay well and good luck to all...

Thats a good idea KP !!I got my cp from snagger last spring and used it a few times,did not use it this past fall, but i was determined to stick with it this spring. Sometimes i feel like i'm all thumbs and a super clumsy klutz as i make the cast and pinch the line, or drop my left hand, and the float and shot splashes the water 5 feet in front of me!! But i do see and feel progress, a little at a time...so there is hope. You are going to love the cp KP. BTW, I am looking forward to meeting you and your son kp jr on the river someday, hopefully very soon. I Enjoy reading your posts....stay well and catch lot's of fish !!

choo choo.... i bought my CP from snagger also along with simpcarpieguy. that first year it took me almost 2 months to learn to cast that thing. i fished with the CP all summer long to learn everything i could. now it is second nature. last fall we were catching kings in oswego with a bobber on them ;D ;D i dont suggest alot of that stuff. those fish will tear your equipment up ;D ;D good practice for fighting big steel heads though 8)

Yikes... I can't imagine battling a fresh, angry , hard chargin', 20 lb. black jawed river monster on the pin HT . Practice , Practice , Practice i guess...good job on the persistence to learn how to cast it , fish it, and land fish with it . I will try to follow your lead and use it as much as I can until it becomes second nature. The bottom of river speed natural drift a guy can get, and all the different kinds of water you can fish effectively is really amazing.I will stick with it for sure. Maybe I can get a few tips from you if I see you on the river. :D

Some big fish today, last one was aclassic fight with the fish winning, first run was about 40yds after running that down another 30 yds and a standoff untill the next one and that was all the 4lb could take he was broke off, but exciting. KP left jr s horns at shanes. work the next 2 days then ill b back at it. Went to the hatchery and there was some absolute torpedoes in the ladder. Great day on the river

So easy a caveman can do it? I've got to get some pointers from you then Jay when you are down to the D :D :D Getting the proper weighting ,and acurate casting, and fighting these BIG fish with no drag ... not even a click /pawl drag like in the old days..dang ,not so easy for me...but i'm learning.I will definately try it on the D this year for the smallies!! But I like my practice sessions to be on the SR with all the streamside and river bottom hazards...and a chance for a 5 or 10 or 15 or 20 lb Steely!

Brook don't do it. Just one hook up and you will become an addict like the rest of us. Just one more tug on the line, that's all I need. I can quit anytime I want,but I don't want too.

Seriously go see Shane he will steer you in the right direction. And he can hook you up with all the equipment you need.

The inflow this morning too the Reservoir is approaching 5000cfs. Radar shows more complexes moving into the area, Brookfield said they have no intensions of raising the water tonight, if it rains big thursday night and Friday expect a very high Salmon River this weekend.

Nice fish Steve, wish I was up there yesterday with you. But just took on a small 3 day job.

Brook don't do it. Just one hook up and you will become an addict like the rest of us. Just one more tug on the line, that's all I need. I can quit anytime I want,but I don't want too.

Seriously go see Shane he will steer you in the right direction. And he can hook you up with all the equipment you need.
kc

Thanks KC...wish you were up there too . Hope to run into you guy's on the river when the flows come down . Get all those jobs done now KC...so you can "cash in" on some steel in the next few weeks!

Thanks also Yarn em in...it was a wild flow. Flushed down a lot of trash and bankside debris and brush all morning. I guess you saw where Shane said it could go to almost 5000..... BTW, Eddie N said you were a good soccer player and snowmobile rider!...and you guy's had a few adult beverages over the years! I had more than a few beverages with him ,his brother and sis, and his Dad and Mom over the last 45 years or so!! Hope to see ya next time up.

Post by: SNAGGER on Apr 11, 2013, 04:42 PM: Drove up too do a visual on the Redfield Reservoir, its in reletively good shape, it can handle all the cool weather and light rains we been gettting, but we'll see what happens with tonight and tomorrows rains... Got a good snowpack trying to absorb the rain, but shes pretty saturated, measured 15 inches on the ground. The res. measured out at 6.5 feet down from absolute high water mark, or 5 feet from the top of the dam, if we get less than 3/4's of an inch of rain, were good, if we get more than that, she'll be full and they'll have to start dumping accordingly.. we'll see what happens. Theres water everywhere there aint snow up there, bet we don't see 285 til first week of May.Last weekend around here with the guys I made a prediction of 5000cfs for this weekend, lets see how off I was.....

awesome news SNAG...no need to apologize ...waiting for test results can eat you up mentally,... glad the tests came back good. You did seem to be a little pre-occupied and a bit out of sorts the other evening when i stopped by,... figured it might be best to not stick around to long, so you could enjoy the peace and quiet and a little privacy after the week end. Thanks for taking the time to show me a few things even with all that medical stuff on your mind. Good luck fishin'...hope you can find those "raccoon perch" on oneida, in big ,happy numbers !

I was hoping it would be warmer and be done with this snowmelt period this weekend, but cold weather now is gonna drag this out a little while longer. I was hoping for 2 days of 5000, now it looks like 5 days of of 2000 instead.

Post by: SNAGGER on Apr 17, 2013, 09:41 AM: Very tough day yesterday, I lost a very good friend and we all know good friends are hard too find.. 20 years ago after years of fishing the Salmon River I decided to move here from Ithaca Ny.. Just days after buying my house I ran into a big man fishing across the street, his name was Big Don, he had just recently moved here from Mass. We quickly became good friends and over the years had some really crazy times together...we've been through floods, paralyzing snowstorms, backbreaking salmon runs you thought would never end, we fished together, drank together, hunted together ...shared our lives with each others friends for almost 20 years, his place and friends and mine were like a brotherhood, and now it seams another chapter in my life has been closed.. I'll miss walking over for coffee every morning or having a few after a long day in the fillet station, he was a funny man, most of all I'll miss his jokes, boy could that man tell a funny story line... I'll just plain miss you big guy... R.I.P Big Don...

I had a shoulder fatigue kinda day. The biggest was a 31 incher that put on agreat fight with all the trimmings, jumping runs ect.. if id have just hooked just that one fish it would have made my day.

Post by: SNAGGER on Apr 18, 2013, 02:24 PM: Took a walk from Ellis to the trestle, just an amazing amount of fish in the gravel, it was pretty silly.... with the River bank full and un crossable it was tough too fish alot of spots, but with the nice weather it was a fun walk,... ended going 4 for 8 running some bright walleye crank baits in the wash outs above rootballs. Could of done some serious damage if I just wanted too force feed them with flies or something......Should be quite the bite when the River eventually goes down.... Fished 8am til 2pm, never seen a drift boat locked all morning, that was odd with all the chatter on the internet.

Gonna be strange not having him around, 20 yrs is a long time to have a neighbor you see every day, already is strange walking too the bridge and not being able to stop and bs awhile at the shop.

Hey DD it is fun getting those fish on plugs, that Cp lets you back it down the pool inch by inch with your fingers controlling the spool until they can't take it anymore, like a driftboat, takes some patience though, not always fast action..... I'm the only one I know of doing it with a center pin...

Looks like a good way to aggravate or "wake" them up when they are off the feed, or in a funk too.

Snows been melting all week and Brookfield never looked at any data for the last week, just plain ignorance.. Brookfield power should fire the people they have watching the data. I go a week without calling them and this is the result, guess they need me too walk them through spring runoff. Unbelievable.

It's unbelievable that they could not foresee the increase in water level in their reservoir system due to warming temps, snowpack melt and runoff, with new precipitation etc...that would leave them with no option but to create an emergency release which can be dangereous , or deadly to recreational river users. I understand they are trying to run a business, but this is no way to run one. I wish ny state and dec can step in to have them manage this business and resource better.....Brookfield is creating flooding problems and hazardous situations down river from their operations due to mismanagement. This needs to be looked into further Shane...hope all people and property are ok... and also the extra stress they have put on on the spawning steelhead and the just released eggs in the main river.

Post by: SNAGGER on Apr 19, 2013, 11:24 AM: This is the Most Dangerous situation I've EVER seen the Redfield Reservoir in.. The water is pouring over the dam, pouring over every spill gate and if it comes up any more it will go into the pumphouse, to put this into perspective its 2 feet higher than the day before the 2010 flood.. Its the scariest thing I've ever seen, absolutely frightening. Someone needs to be held accountable for letting the Reservoir get into this shape in a week we recieved only one day of rain.The Rivers in big trouble if it rains.

Post by: KingPerch on Apr 19, 2013, 04:03 PM: I don't quite understand what the hell Brookfield and the employees are thinking.....You have a seasoned 35 year river veteran, who knows more about the river, water levels and, all the tribs than most people and, Brookfield still, with all the engineering degrees or whatever, can't even control a body of water from preventing flooding or catastrophe's. IGNORRANT! they should be held accountable for any/all damages, devastations or losses that incur from all the bad decisions they make...... Hope the best for all residents, property owners and businesses that may be inflicted by these CLOWNS!!!

I would be out of business if, I made judgements like this with my company.

The entire board of directors, riverkeeper,release master,snowmelt and incoming water data gurus up there are all Craniums!...Richard,Joe,Dick,John,Jesse. It seems like it should just take a little simple common sense ....depth of snowpack, air temps and upcoming air temps, recent and upcoming rain ,reservoir level and river /trib levels to come up with a proper release management program...or better yet, just ask SNAG for his formula! What system and methods are the Brookfield Craniums using up there ? Can they even see the reservoir from their offices? Snag...Like the other guy's here...if you need help moving stuff, just ask...can be up in a couple hours if needed.

They release kayak, raft and tube water in summer when the y don't have enough reserves (for fall salmon run) etc....then they don't release enough water to keep up with the snowpack melt and precipitation in spring,causing the reservoir to overfill,.... then have to blow out the river with emergency releases.....makes you scratch your head ???

This should be no suprise to anyone. This is the way most businesses work in the US today.

I'm actually surprised, because I've spoke with them on every major rainfall since the flood, since there was no storm, I didn't think I had to walk them through the normal snowmelt period we have in spring, guess I was wrong, lesson learned, there idiots...I'll call them atleast 3 times a week next year, total arrogance, good thing no one was killed this morning in driftboats by floating debri.

Post by: SNAGGER on Apr 20, 2013, 07:32 AM: Oh were flooded...

Heres the name of the guy who hadn't looked at our Reservoir in a week, a week of sunshine and no rain, snowmelt( which is gradual) no one who works for Brookfield power ever said , hey the Reservoir is full, somebody should do something, nope they just watched it fill up and over flow its banks all week and never did anything about it.

Brian Dugan

Water Resource Manager at Brookfield Power
Glens Falls, New York Area Utilities

I'm assuming its bad practice to let the water spill over top of the spill gates and dam for 72 hours.
must be good for the integrity of the dam.

Post by: SNAGGER on Apr 20, 2013, 09:10 AM: Well it was sunny for a week with tons of time to prepare for spring snowmelt, But Brian Dugan Water Resource Manager at Brookfield Power power did absolutely no preperation at all all week to dump any of the daily inflow coming down off of Tug hill that was occurring. Finally the Reservoir filled up and over flowed the dam and overtook all the spill gates, then they released a little water, most of the water flooding the River is over flow because at this point after a week of recklass disregard, theres no alternitive...

Hey Snag...sorry you got to go through this again. I had a real bad feeling yesterday morning after your first few posts..but thankfully not as bad as it could have been. Man ,you got flooded for no reason but incompetent negligence. When mother nature decides to give us a wake up call with wicked weather, we can accept it a little easier...she's the boss, and always has the final say. But when a flooding situation is CAUSED by a company, without regard for all those living downstream of them, well, it is totally unacceptable, and needs to be addressed by some state agency,so it does not ever happen again.A fine is not enough for a company like that, they need to be regulated , with a watchdog agency directing them with proper procedures. I will be up tomorrow to see the mess and help do anything you might need when the water recedes.

Post by: choo choo on Apr 20, 2013, 01:49 PM: I was just thinking about all the people and businesses, up and down the river, who have been hurt in the pocketbook by this latest Brookfield fiasco. Especially the sport shops ,guides and motels etc, that deal directly with the fishermen. After a long ,sometimes slow winter season, these businesses look forward to a bigger cash flow from fisherman for the short spring steelie dropback and fresh runner season. Well Brookfield just made that short spring steelie season a little shorter. A whole week-end of lost buisness in prime springtime steelhead season,... and who knows how many more days this week. Nice job up there.

Post by: fishgalore on Apr 20, 2013, 03:07 PM: Maybe you can chalk it up to being a novice but I've been watching the flows and weather for 4 weeks now up there. I was planning on a trip but with flows like this and even more than 1000 cfs will keep me away. I came up when it was 2000 cfs 2 years ago and I won't do it again. Sorry but I don't want to work THAT HARD for the fish. Maybe a drift boat trip between 1000-2000 but not much else for me. Even the tribs weren't all that great 2 years ago for me.

Post by: fenwick2010 on Apr 21, 2013, 09:51 AM: Whats up guys ! Its been a while seince ive posted on here.... Its good to be back ! Im mostly up on the salmon river or oswego for the steelhead during the winter and fall , also im an ice fishing fanatic . I've become bored with float fishing beads and marabous jigs so I went out and bought a 8 weight Temple Fork Outfitter 9 ft fly rod .I'm exited to move into t fly fishing . I do have experence casting so thats not the issue , It's the whole fly line thing that confuses me.
I will be mostly swinging streamers But Also fishing egg patterns & larger nymphs. I don’t ever cast more than 20 – 25 feet & I’m usualy fishing from 2 to 6ft of water at most ... Most of my steelhead success was fishing beads and floating hand tied marabou jigs ... This is why I want to keep it simple during the first year and stay with patterns that ive had success with spin-fishing … “ Streamers ” Replacing marabou jigs, “ Egg patterns ” Also some stone flies & Other Simple nymphs. Im thinking im going to only need weight forward floating flyline and just add weight to the fly if im fishing deeper than 2 ft and mend line to get the fly down. Am I going in the right direction ? I want to keep it simple for the first year ... My reel is a sage 7 / 8 weight large arbor. 200 yards of 20 lb backing. I'm just looking for some tips and help with what fly line im going to do best with with what kind of fishing I've described. Any information will help me out , thanks . And Kowboy, i cant wait to get back out on the river with you again ... Id like to see how much youve learned in the past 2 years. I remember when you first started and we met up a couple of times and had a good time .
Title: Re: SALMON RIVER 2013 SALMON AND STEELHEAD THREAD
Post by: kc on Apr 21, 2013, 11:16 AM: Kowboy hasn't learned a damm thing. I fished with him a couple of weeks ago. I fished one run for at least 45 minutes. He took over and on his second cast was tight to a fish and same thing on his 3rd cast.
Can't wait for the water to go down and get back up there to fish.

As we were planning to fish that day, days before....He stated.." I'm a little rusty and not quite sure how to get started again since the fall season" ::). Well, He finished the prior fall season smackin' every fish in the river....it was no different the following spring.

Shane, what is your estimate for water level for Friday/Saturday of this week?

Brookfield changed there minds, I bet 1250 through Friday, then maybe a 900 drop for Saturday.... 70 degrees today and a half inch of rain tonight, could go higher thursday, still some snow too melt yet, not a lot, but some. We kind of got screwed this year with cold late in march and low water/crowds, then a dragged out melt, water drop should time with black flies. I fished yesterday, got 5 in an hour, its pretty good at 1250.

Got a few shots for ya from this afternoon, I tried to get a shot of the milkey-way last night... but there was way to much light pollution on the horizon to get a super clear detailed shot even in the small town of Altmar...i need to find a pitch dark field lookin north for tonight so we can try it again

That reminds me - did you attempt to shoot Comet PANSTARRS? It was tough, but nice. Comet ISON later this fall should put on a show

Post by: kowboy on May 05, 2013, 11:51 AM: Didnt get up that way lv as stayed low, probably my last trip up for steelhead as its back to work for me. I had an amazing season, and totally smashed my numbers as far as caught fish. In the short time ive done this i had the pleasure this year of meeting some new friends and seeing and fishing with old ones, that was the best part of it all. Now its on to trying to get Colleen a thunder chicken, oh and me one too lol

didn't know about it or i would have tried it, the omega block Shane was telling me about produced cristal clear Sky's and good shooting light all day long ..the sky was such a deep blue you didn't need polarisers to see it, over night the conditions were just as good. The moon wasn't much help at a 1/4 and rising at 3:00 am so i spent some time figuering out a few problems i have with photographing the night sky, i think we learned a few things ;)

Nice Shots Rob. Nice to see on the big screen at Home. Did you ever make down town in the Afternoon on Saturday? We ended up at the black hole it was full of steel, got there around 3:30 we tried everything pinks under floats, flys ,live bait. nothing. Had one half dead steel head swim up to Mikes feet from up stream. Someone must have held it out of the water way to long for photos. Sunday morning we hit ellis had more fish there, every one hooked up, only one made it to shore. But there seem to be a good number of fish holding in there. Nice meeting you at Snaggers Bob

Post by: nightfisher on May 06, 2013, 06:55 PM: LOL, I could have mixed a few more LV. Had an awesome few days on the river. Got up tues. nite, fished wednsday, best day ever.... Landed 38 steelies,Considering I spent from 7am to 5 pm walking from ellis to 2A. Long day but well worth it. Thursday hit lots of fish, landed 12 . went out after dinner and banged 2 more. Friday I went a whole 2 for 2. Went out for walleye on Oneida at midnite and got a freakin rock bass. 1 walleye between 3 of us. Trolled on the big lake Saturday over by the plant, marked lots of lakers at 125. No joy. Went back down to Oneida for the nite bite, it was non existant, 1 pickerel . Sunday hit the high bridge, couple of guys lineing steelies, no bobbers down. Thru out the days I was up, I saw lots of fish booking towards the lake. Had 58 degrees on the thermometer down low. Great couple of days to end the season. Great running into everyone on the river and the lakes, 4 months till we can do it again! See Ya, NF

Finally figured out how to post pictures, had a fun night on the river ended up going 6 for 15. Snagger, I'm pretty sure you were below me, every time I looked you had a fish on.

Hey roonster, nice work man.. your crew did good, I love that wave you guys were set up in... I seen that one that went ballistic and snapped you off, that was great stuff man. I told my buddy George, look at those kids go, they haven't been here 5 minutes and there wrecking the place...A lot of hook ups considering the area got pounded earlier.

Hey newbie... Goodluck getting any info out of the forum "regulars" ... Tough crowd in here. I tried for weeks and got nothing but guff ... Im going up this wknd from Sat-Mon and I know for a fact theres still fish in the river. They are more concentrated in the mid-lower sections, holes and riffles. The warmer the water the more oxygen they need. If you do happen to hook up and plan on releasing, play the fish in quick and make sure to give it enough time to revive itself. Goodluck and tightlines :D

Ever since mobile internet got popular 2 yrs ago, can't talk as much... case in point, fished by myself last week, made that big post, 14 cars the next day, 9 were out of state, no room for me too fish so had to go to another spot...

Just as if sombody who hadn't hooked a fish could watch you from a bridge and move into your honey hole just as fast. The salmon river is no secret. There are maps available. Any fisherman with half a brain can learn ther quarry, habits, and how to read water get wet and fish. I came asking for help and nobody wanted to help. Go to A.O.L. blah blah. I don't know who, what, where, when etc a.O.L. is or if it's just a joke. I did tons of research, bought maps, tied flies and was very successful on my trip in March. If I can save some fellow angler time and spare him some trouble by pointing in the right direction im that guy, I will help. Besides karma is a you know what. I wouldn't give my honey hole away to my brother let alone a stranger. But whats a few helpful hints gonna do besides help sombody on there way ? The rest is up to them. But to just not offer any input when you know from living on the banks or frequently taken trips and just shunning outsiders" because they want to fish "your" river..... come on now. Its the salmon river in NY. Not a secret ;)

Title: Re: SALMON RIVER 2013 SALMON AND STEELHEAD THREAD
Post by: Jomo on May 14, 2013, 04:16 PM: I generated a bit of discussion eh? ;) this is my first season on the river. The SR is one of many seasons. As soon as I had salmon season figured out enough to catch a few fish, it was fall steelhead then onto winter steelhead and now dropbacks. I will be the first one to say that everyone online and onriver has been super helpful in helping me out. I come down from Canada and all I really needed to know is it worth the trip, not sure if the run is truly over, I had heard it was from apparently a non-trustworthy source. I fished the upper end of the river two weeks ago and it was slow, I only got one brown (my first one so I was happy!) .
Thanks for all the advice, I plan on coming down, i decided it is always worth the trip!! I will def say hello if I recognize any faces.
AOL may end up with 14 cars out front this weekend!
Cheers!

well theirs your problem, your way over thinking every thing...next September walk on to the river with just the bare essentials and clear mind...look the water over and i mean really look at it like it was a hot women scantly dressed understand the curves and irregularity's in the current...i grantee you will catch more fish. We can give you all the advice in the world and its not going to make one bit of difference unless you first understand the ways of the Salmon River. I'm on the river 15 years now and i still haven't fished every hole, its gonna take a while to find your way give it time ;)

Post by: SNAGGER on May 14, 2013, 05:33 PM: Well back in march when you asked your questions CTFishBum I was still ice fishing, I wasn't even on here yet, this aint salmon crazy, it only generates a small amount of fishermen traffic, no one answered your requests in march, god if that's the worst thing that's happening in your life, you got it pretty good.. last week I pmed Jomo, he got it late as I was walleye fishin.....he seemed like a nice guy , not a whiner looking too be spoonfed...If you don't like this thread, well move on.....

Post by: SNAGGER on May 14, 2013, 05:40 PM: You said you know for a fact theres fish, well then go get them.. Whats the Problem? If your a vet, then I thank for your service, but it just sounds like your trying to get attention for some odd reason, rivers definetly not a secret, but having a good afternoon has sure gotten tricky in the last few years due to mobile internet and loosing public fishing lands...There hasn't been a fisherman in 3 days across from my house, bet I could change that with one post.

Post by: kc on May 14, 2013, 05:45 PM: Hey CT let's clear the air. You wanted someone to show the ropes and you would buy the food and booze if I remember correctly. I suggested you stay at AOL and talk with Snagger.
At this point I am not sure that will get you much.

Post by: SNAGGER on May 14, 2013, 05:48 PM: You can't win KC, if you post pics and help people your accused of boosting your ego, if you stop posting because the Rivers crowded, now I'm holding out.... If you ever see my station wagon in the driveway some afternoon, I'll point you in the right direction, I've never not done that for someone, I enjoy seeing others doing well on the River.

Snagger if I didn't know any better I'd guess you were from NY. Stand up guys on this thread. Oh no did I upset the pack leader and disagree with you? So what? You guys are not very helpful to anyone new unless they ask the right questions ?? What a joke. I'm sorry though if I offended you or anyone else on this thread. How about I just read the reports and wait for the news on the skamina or salmon runs tell everyone else and fill the river with people Thats what happens since the mobile internet anyway right Lord knows nobody would know about the Salmon river if it wasnt for the internet. LOL

well in the 80's and 90's I fished completely alone on any salmon runs that came in August, so your right, it is the internet... I help crowd the place now too though. I live on the River, been fishin here since 78, says all that on my avatar... well I got to eat and i'm goin fishin, hope it all works out for you...

Post by: choo choo on May 14, 2013, 07:09 PM: You need to be a little more friendly CTFishBum in your remarks with less questions and demands...This is just a fun fishin' site. Some things have to be left unsaid on the internet these days....for obvious reasons. Part of the fun of our daily fishing experiences is being able to have a little elbow room on the rivers, ponds , lakes and streams. Most of us have paid our dues with years of trips up to the SR, to learn where they will be, and what it takes to catch the steelhead with consistency.Many of us, including me, are still learning every trip... You will become a much better fisherman,especially on the SR, if you take the time to learn and figure stuff out for yourself...and it will be so much more rewarding when you score consistently from stuff you learn on your own...and it will be info you won't forget. Just because you drive a long way to get to the SR, doesn't mean that people have to give you ALL the info , so you are guaranteed a successful trip. Maybe just try to "blend in" to the SR fishing community...put your time in ,ask questions when you are on the river,and info will come to you...and your experiences on the SR will be much better. Good Luck Fishin'.

Ignorant??? maybe if you fished as much as you ran your mouth you wouldn't have to ask how to catch the d**n things... shut your mouth pick up your rod and wet a line enough said.. nobody is going to put fish on the bank for you let alone on your "fly'

Stoneys pineville is a good stop. Sleepy bear on rt. 3 was always good. Usually not too crowded and you can take one of the back spots and not be bothered

I used to let my son run around with a push button buzz light year rod with a rubber worm tied on and no hook. By age 3 i had to take it from him as he was casting it over the pool and in to the neighbors yard!!!

This is the famous Budweiser beer. We know of no other brand, Produce by any other brewer which cost so much to brew and age. Our exclusive beechwood aging produces a taste a smoothness and a drinkability you will find in no other beer at any price.. Havn't drank in 26 year's rick. That's about all I recall from those day's. :cookoo: :cookoo: :cookoo: :flag:

Thanks Rick...the moon was coming up at almost a right angle to the bridge making it difficult to cast any good light up Stream...there was some light between the trees looking up but the best light was looking east from the road parallel with the bridge so I drove back under the structure to see what we could get...spooky as hell back there a few miles off the main road....Jasen could chop you up and toss you in for fish food no one would ever hear or see a thing :unsure:

Title: Re: SALMON RIVER 2013 SALMON AND STEELHEAD THREAD
Post by: KingPerch on May 29, 2013, 07:04 AM: Sad day when we get to lose a great run of river to fish. Tons of memories there, for, that's where Shane gave first hand lessons to KP Jr. on how to hook 15 steelhead in a few hours. Thanks Shane! ;) The ninja hole was the place where Jr. hooked and landed his first steelhead. I know I'm speaking on behalf of about 1000 other people who have had the same stories and success. I told Jr. the news yesterday and, He wasn't impressed about it, like the rest of us. He says that "If they take away that section of river from us to fish, then, when I start driving next year, I'll load my truck with rocks, stand on the bridge, and drop rocks over to spook the fish away.....If I can't fish that spot...neither will they!!!" To all those people who intend to take away and keep for themselves....are killing it for the future generation of fisherman!! Just ask my son and countless other people what they think!!

SICKENING...is an understatement!!!

Let's hope for the best guys...all we can do. :-\

Post by: bigredfishing on May 29, 2013, 10:29 AM: Only reason they are getting away with it is because of Douglaston/Barclay...yeah when douglaston first came in there was a fight (remember that, the guides anchoring their boats in front of douglaston's )...but even those guys (guides) that fought with them I see now relying on that area to bring clients instead of having a spine and sticking to their guns...so others see that and think they can do what douglaston did...and the average joes like us get F';ed.

thank everyone who is paying those F@#kfaces to fish douglaston...it all started there...thank all the F@#$@#g guides like Troy Creasy and that dumbshit George O'Brien who are bringing their clients to douglaston...

Wow...great video snag. It's a shame that veteran research meterologists like Tim Samaras and his sonPaul had to die because they could not get out of it's path. You are probably right about the clogged road situation due to lot's of inexperienced sight seers.Veteren mountain climbers and experienced and well prepared climbers are dying ,or are denied a chance to summit Everest every year now, due to human traffic jams of inexperienced slow climbers at key locations on the upper mountain. Amateur cell video and mucho internet Everest coverage are drawing huge numbers of climbers there every year. A lot of them should not be up there.... causing problems for the experienced pro's...many of who have spent a lifetime honing their skills on other mountains..dreaming of one day for a chance to scale Everest. Then they get caught up in a human traffic jam on the mountain, of inexperienced novices that have little experience, but do have a lot of money for guides who literally drag some of them up the mountain slowly with rope tethers.Money and thrillseeking of these novices over rule commen sense sometimes, and ruin the climb to the summit for many others.

Yes Dimebrite...true story. They were being shipped east from a hatchery in california....early 1900"s...Train broke down near callicoon ny, so they had to dump them in the delaware before they all died. That was the first stocking of bows in the delaware.Rainbows have not been stocked in the D for over 50 years now. All natural , stream and river born bow's since then.A few stray's from pa. trib stocking...but almost 100% wild fish now. The stockies don't last to long to contaminate the wild gene pool...that is why the D bow's fight so well!

All natural , stream and river born bow's since then.A few stray's from pa. trib stocking...but almost 100% wild fish now. The stockies don't last to long to contaminate the wild gene pool...that is why the D bow's fight so well!

I'll attest to that! Those buggers can fight. A 14" fish fights like a steelhead...........they have some shoulders!

Post by: dimebrite on Jun 06, 2013, 08:23 AM: Choo choo Those rainbows and the story behind them are something else. We used to catch the breeder rainbows from time to time in creeks like calicoon and ten mile... along with an occasional brookie in the smal headwaters areas. Ive heard that much of their spawning habitat has been deteriorated in the smaller creeks from the floods in the past ten years though. Its been too long since ive last fished those waters. Got to get back their soon...

Man...I hope they are wrong about that !

Dime brite..Some spawning tribs were messed up...but still plenty of good tribs and spots that were not . When the DEC changed the regulations on the opening dates for all of the upper Delawares,Delaware County tributaries, it helped protect the mature breeding spawning fish that some years would still be up in the D's feeder streams and creeks on statewide trout opener April 1 st.. Now they have a few extra weeks to spawn and slip back to the main river before the tribs and the main river open on the first saturday after april 11 th.

He said on the air ,when the tornadoes were heading for populated areas, for "everyone to flee " in their cars....Oklahoma governor Mary Fallin said that His tv broadcast helped cause the nightmare traffic jams....people jumped in their cars and texted and called their friends and families to do the same....and some were killed when the could not get out of the tornados path , due to traffic jams.Cars are not the best place to be in a tornado.

I was watching the live feed for KFOR-TV for all 4 events, it was great, he said it, not denying it, but he was just putting into perspective how powerful this storm was, he saved thousands of lives on the first 3 tornadoes and got criticized on a tornado that hooked south, then north and grew too 2.6 miles wide and got rain wrapped... basically he saved way more lives then he might have killed, like rob said, this aint Oklahoma's first rodeo, people are getting way to caught up in mobile internet, its making them loose reality and make bad decisions.

I feel bad for the guy...he was only try to save lives by telling them to go south in their cars...but i guess that is part of the reason he's being criticized. He told people to flee in a certain direction, south, but the tornado took a turn and went in a direction that he and many others did not think it would go, sending people accidently into harms way by being in their cars and in traffic jams, and they could not out run it when it changed direction. Tornado paths and mother nature are so unpredictable, even for the top meteorologists....I hope he is back to work soon.

But if I'm correct, it was only 7 people who died in that tornado, the worlds widest tornado at 2.6 miles wide in a populated area, and only 7 died, seems he saved lives to me...3 being storm chasers, so of those remaning 4 were they really fleeing, or just in its path... If a news reporter told me too cross the altmar bridge during a flood, I wouldn't cross it on his say so, I would drive up to it make an educated decision on my own whether I should flee....These people have lived there whole lives with tornadoes, the excitement of the chase is what clogged the streets, I think this guy is getting a bad rap.

Snag, the article said there were 19 killed in that el reno tornado..I don't think they are trying to blame him directly for any of the deaths or injured people on the roads... just that he added to the already clogged road and traffic jam situation, and put people in harms way by telling them to flee in their cars. I'm with you..if I lived with tornados all my life...i will make my own decision on what to do. I'm sure he was just trying to keep people safe by saying what he did. I would love to watch and chase a tornado someday...out in the middle of nowhere...and miles away from it. IT has got to be awesome to watch one.

I have to ask ? pickleball ? What is pickleball ?

Here is the Wikapedia definition...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sport is played on a court with the same dimensions as a doubles badminton court. The net is similar to a tennis net, but is mounted two inches lower. The game is played with a hard paddle and a polymer smaller version of a wiffle ball.

Although pickleball appears to be very similar to tennis, there are key differences that make pickleball more accessible to a wider range of players, particularly children and seniors. Chief among these differences is the speed of the pickleball ball which typically moves at one-third of the average speed of a tennis ball. Equally important, however, is the size of the court which is just under one-third of the total area of a tennis court. This smaller area combined with the slower moving ball makes pickleball much easier to play than tennis.

Originally invented as a backyard pastime, pickleball is now an organized sport represented by national and international governing bodies. Since its inception in 1965, pickleball has spread across the United States and into Canada. It is now beginning to spread around the world. The United States Pickleball Association estimates there are more than 100,000 active pickleball players in that country alone.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Tank use to play high level softball and alot of racquetball, kness gave out in his mid 50s, retired at 60. Apparently fishing, hunting, and gardening wasnt enough so now he golfs and plays pickleball also ;D
It is actually a cool sport that is really growing, great exercise without running miles...

Post by: fishgalore on Jun 09, 2013, 06:01 PM: Ran into Danbo at Hopatcong this morning. He was after big toothy critters; we fished for Walleye & Hybrids for 11 hrs overnight. My guy, Dan, got a nice 24 1/2" Walleye about 4 am, his first ever. We kept it in the live well for a daylight photo then released it. Danbo & his bud had a couple follows this morning and showed us pics from last weeks catches. Nice Muskies! I got a smaller 18" Waldo, a 17" Hybrid, a pickerel over 20" and I lost what I think was a big Hybrid on live bait late this morning around 9:30 am our 11th hour. Had 2 other misses on live bait this morning but they were smaller fish.

We fish for the Walleye & Hybrids using topwater bombers and such in shallower water, no jigging. The herring spawn is on so they come in to feed. Hence, the overnight trip. Most nights all you hear is splash on top all night but not this weekend. We had maybe 2 30 min stretches when that happened we had to work hard for everything. A couple missed the lure too! Almost always the Walleye take is closer to the boat so the fight is shortened as a result. They likely follow it in all the way then WHACK!

It was alittle too calm early, but when the wind kicked up they seemed to be able to zero in on my baits better.

Ran into Danbo at Hopatcong this morning. He was after big toothy critters; we fished for Walleye & Hybrids for 11 hrs overnight. My guy, Dan, got a nice 24 1/2" Walleye about 4 am, his first ever. We kept it in the live well for a daylight photo then released it. Danbo & his bud had a couple follows this morning and showed us pics from last weeks catches. Nice Muskies! I got a smaller 18" Waldo, a 17" Hybrid, a pickerel over 20" and I lost what I think was a big Hybrid on live bait late this morning around 9:30 am our 11th hour. Had 2 other misses on live bait this morning but they were smaller fish.

I was expecting a better night of fishing than we had. We had to work hard to find takers. I threw Zara's for a while at Chestnut but to no avail. Both Walleye were caught in Byram Bay. The Hybrid by Bertrands with a Rattlin Rapala and the big one that got off just before we departed (I think was a big Hybrid) was back at Chestnut where I was marking fish late Saturday night. I dropped the herring to the bottom and almost as fast the rod was bent over and the spool spooling. I use circle hooks, so when I lifted the rod I had to tighten the drag and started to reel. When shad fishing that way I grab the spool to "set the hook" but since it was a circle I just tightened the drag and started to reel. The fish was on for 2 minutes or so and it was at least in the 5 lb range. Bummer, that was a nice fish and would have been a great ending to our venture. It was fun anyway the way it happened just a little let down.

I'd be back this weekend but I think I'm fishing in the RV tournament for lunker trout. At least that's wishful thinking.

I may enter the Stu Lant Challenge the 22-23rd and fish at Hopatcong the whole weekend. Hit it early am on Saturday to 10 am then come back like 6pm and fish into Sunday. We'll see if my partner is up to it.

Snag- I was using one Sat night. Mine had a single bead inside and it was the loudest bait Hands down. Fifty throws and not a rise, throw a spook back on and BAM. I don't know why but they were pretty particular in what they wanted by where I was gettin em. Is stinks that the weather for the next ten days is on and off storms. The only good thing we might have out of it is dark skies and alittle wind. Those two ingredients are key. We should have about 3 weeks of a good topwater bite and storms are gonna gobble up a good chunk of that time. The waldos are big and gettin on top is priceless! You should come down and try it sometime. You are more than welcome.

I had 2 good teachers, that's all. My friends that I go out with have been doing this for a long time and have it pretty dialed in. The only lesson I learned the hard way was to be more prepaired with a cooler full of ice in the truck. This way I can ice the fish and go to sleep sooner, rather than get home a 5:30 am and start cuttin fish first.

I tried a jerk bait but the weeds were right up to the top where the fish were. I did learn a little trick, my bud breaks the bill off and retrieves it pretty slow. The bait does this lazy wobble on top. He kills em on it.

This is my 3rd year. The 1st one the bite went into mid July. That's about 5 more weeks from now. Last year was less than that. With the weather the way it's been I'd guess the spawn started late and will go later than last year but Dows could answer that better than I. I don't keep much to eat but I do bring food and drink even though fishing is about the only thing I do that I could care less about them. I think I had one seltzer, a twix bar and a couple of pretzels in the 11 hrs we fished. The ice idea is a must to keep the fish fresh if you are keeping any. Someone we know kept a Hybrid this year and ate it, said it was delicious. I know my brother wants to keep one to eat to try it.

As far as action with the lure is concerned, I try every kind of retrieve possible. Fast, slow, walk the dog style, single jerk and reel slow, multiple jerks and reel slow, etc.......longer jerks, shorter jerks, sometimes just let it sit for a bit then retrieve or jerk then retrieve. Some areas the weeds make this very difficult. The pickerel hit the lure when it was about 1 1/2' below the surface. I had what I thought was a LM miss the Bomber Long A below the surface too. Both were early morning after sunrise. Water was clearer than I have ever seen it. About a year ago we had a strike out night. But in the am about sunrise we downsized our tackle and caught perch, Rock Bass, LM Bass and Crappie for about 3 hours non-stop. We had a blast.

my speed depends on if I wanna actually hook fish ;D the slower you can work the bombers, rapalas, spooks, ect the more hook ups you will have. Throwing spooks, I'll rip em in if I have someone in the boat with me who never fished the lake before just so they can hear multiple blow ups, slow it down to a crawl and you'll usually hook up

hybrids are quite tasty and I actually prefer them over pure strain stripers so if your brother wants to try one I'd recommend giving it a shot

Slow is good......just depends on the night. We've had nights where they didn't hit it on top. Slow retrieve below the surface 6-12". I've had hook ups with almost any kind of retrieve. Talked to Dows and they said some nights have been good some not so good lately. I think the weather has been a factor. The spawn will go into early July maybe later. Like I said before 2 yrs. ago we got 'em into the 3rd week of July. Not many guys were fishing for them like that then though. Most thought the spawn was over. Joe said, it's a normal year this year. We'll see what that means.

being able to adapt to conditions on any given day is what makes someone a better fisherman ;) can't say I've ever had a night I could get a few blow ups on top but there have been some nights they defiantly preferred something just under the surface

you can still get fish once the herring are done spawning using the same techniques but the fishing is slower which is why the pressure drops way off. There's still plenty of forage (small gills and perch) in those shallow weeds to hold the predators nearby ;)

Ran into Danbo at Hopatcong this morning. He was after big toothy critters; we fished for Walleye & Hybrids for 11 hrs overnight. My guy, Dan, got a nice 24 1/2" Walleye about 4 am, his first ever. We kept it in the live well for a daylight photo then released it. Danbo & his bud had a couple follows this morning and showed us pics from last weeks catches. Nice Muskies! I got a smaller 18" Waldo, a 17" Hybrid, a pickerel over 20" and I lost what I think was a big Hybrid on live bait late this morning around 9:30 am our 11th hour. Had 2 other misses on live bait this morning but they were smaller fish.

Lake Hopatcong...great fishing memories for me there. My dad would drop me off there when i was a kid .Sometimes near dick dows, or bertrands island or the state park...and i would spend the day fishing until he picked me up towards evening. Open water and Ice fished it during my high schoool years too. It seems the fishery has changed a lot since then. We would catch bass, perch, pickerel and an trout...but I never remember anyone ever catch a walleye, musky or a hybrid back then !!Are there still a lot of trout in there?

Post by: SNAGGER on Jun 13, 2013, 11:07 PM: I been saying around here at the lodge since April, I think the main run will be slightly late .....20th ....24th of September on... We got the water to suck whats available maybe for the labor day release, but whats gonna be available?, I think they'll stage late this year. If it continues cool and rainy, there will be odd ball fish in early, that's very possibly, but a major early run I think is unlikely Frank.. I've watched weather and kings closly for a long time, these days we do have more natural ones, which tend to run early, so it will be interesting too see how it plays out.... east winds will make or break labor day weekend. Took a river temp yesterday.. 63.5 degrees, actually I thought it might be cooler, but that's still reasonably cool for June 12th.

The Muskies are relatively new. They started stocking them in the last 10 yrs. They are trying to create a trophy size fishery of Muskies and I'd say they have been successful to date. Plenty of them in the 50" range are being caught. You can go to the "catch corner" of the left side of their menu on the home page and scroll down page after page. You'll see what I mean. http://www.kneedeepclub.org/ (http://www.kneedeepclub.org/)

The state stocked 9440 trout in there this year. The Knee Deep club also does their own stocking in addition. I have yet to catch one there but I also have not been fishing for them. There must be some holdovers but you rarely see any in the catch corner or reports after like May. Muskie fare for sure. Never heard of one being caught through the ice either. The water temp gets pretty warm late summer but there should be plenty of cool holes deep. Whether they survive the predators or not is the issue.

Two things I like the most about that place. Close to home (10 mins) and the variety of species that are in the Lake. It is a great fishery. There is a link on their home page menu "Lake Species" click on it and you will see what I mean.

Thanks for the info fishgalore...i graduated hs in 1971..the last year i fished there. there were holdovers and large trout being caught back then, but that was 40 + yrs. ago.I'm glad to hear that the lake is still fishing good,despite all the building that has sprouted up along the shoreline in the area. Musky is on my bucket list...so I might have to give ole' Hopatcong a try this fall,for old times sake, when i'm down nj . :D

I'll have to see if one of my buddies still has pics from 2005. He got a decent rainbow through the ice during one of the Knee Deep derbies and everyone was screaming he had to have brought it in since they never saw any come through the ice. Sure enough the next day another was taken through the ice around the same area that was a few ounces heavier.

I personally believe a fair amount do holdover in the deeper parts of the lake but with Round Valley being what it is and close by, combined with all the boat traffic, no one targets them once the water warms up ???

Post by: Fetzer1 on Jun 15, 2013, 06:04 PM: Ground it out lastnight from 9pm til 5 am. We were in to alot of bait fish and blow ups from 12 on. We landed all small stripers around 2-3 pounds. We wanted to leave and search for bigger fish, but rule number one, don't leave fish to find fish. Well, rule number 2, throw rule number one out the window when you only have a few hours to make things happen. We left that scool of fish to hit another spot and the blow ups were huge! First cast we had 4 pop but miss. Next cast, spooled! That fish had to be pushing 9-10 pds. Felt the hook shift and the next run down into the weeds he was gone. The hooked 2 big walleye but lost them deep in the weeds aswell. within 15 minutes it was all over. The sky started to get light and the song birds were singin. Pulled the boat to find a flat tire on the trailer. Glad it went flat in the parking lot and not in travel. Long story short, got 3 hrs sleep until the kids had me up. Got all my chores done today and we are headed back out at 9 tonight to fetch em up! (I still think bringing the cooler and the net last night was the curse!)

Title: Re: SALMON RIVER 2013 SALMON AND STEELHEAD THREAD
Post by: lehigh vally on Jun 18, 2013, 05:24 AM: Both Nikon and Cannon keep pumping out new models every year there are so many to chose from, think about how you want to use the camera, are to going to keep it on auto all the time or are you looking for something more than that. If so then you will need one with full manual control. Do you want a point and shoot to fit in your pocket or something a little bigger like an intermediate SLR that will need a bag. So many options its hard to say just go out and get this one its the best. Most of the new cameras have all the latest technology unlike my point and shoot that's only 3 years old and its already obsolete

Back before x-mas I did alot of research as we were getting a DSLR. Wasnt going crazy but wanted it to do just about everything. It was a toss-up between a Canon and Nikon. Went with the Canon Rebel T3i and shes as easy or as adjustable as a guy wants to get into...

I also picked up a T3 to fiddle with last spring.
It will allow you to do pretty much anything you want ans is fairly inexpensive.
I have a couple of inexpensive lens' for it but am saving for some good glass.
You can always start with something like it and add better lens' then if you get really into it you can purchase a new better body.
Good glass and good technique go along way. ;)

These 3 shots were all taken with the 18-55mm IS kit lens that came with the camera.

Here's a shot I took last week when I was getting the boat out to shake down the new 4 stroke I just finished installing on the old girl. :D

Both Nikon and Cannon keep pumping out new models every year there are so many to chose from, think about how you want to use the camera, are to going to keep it on auto all the time or are you looking for something more than that. If so then you will need one with full manual control. Do you want a point and shoot to fit in your pocket or something a little bigger like an intermediate SLR that will need a bag. So many options its hard to say just go out and get this one its the best. Most of the new cameras have all the latest technology unlike my point and shoot that's only 3 years old and its already obsolete
I have a small waterproof point and shoot Rob...Looking for something that can do more and take better pictures than the pocket ones. I would love to learn how to use the features off auto on the better cameras, like you guy's someday.Landscapes, sunsets, nightime stuff, and those awesome water shots. Also with some better zoom capability. Sounds like yours is a good choice jay and drifter...I will look into those soon...thanks.

FYI, my camera is the T3 not the T3i and is a little less expensive than the T3i.
Not quite as versatile but for $400 with lens it wasn't much more than a good point and shoot.
I do see myself upgrading the body when I get some $$$$ to a 7D though. ;)

OH, forgot to mention that a good photo editing program is important to getting images to look the way you want them to.
I also shoot RAW which enables me to have more control over the settings after the shot is taken but before post processing.
The software that came with the camera will let you work with these settings.

My PP software is Photo Shop CS6

Tons of stuff to learn. :)

Lots of great info here: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/ (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/)

The T3 and T3i are good units I know a few people with them and they like them and they are expandable like Drifter said so you can get better lenses. I ordered a Sigma 20mm 1.8 fixed prime for better night shooting I'm picking it up tonight ;D You really need to get the camera in your hands see how it feels. Most new intermediate SLR's have similar features but the make of the body's and the way they feel to the user varies, it should feel comfortable in your hand

If you're looking at the T3I, check out BJ's (the one in Syracuse has them). They have a package deal with the camera, a couple lenses, and a case. We noticed it AFTER we purchased ours. :-\

Post by: cNr1day on Jun 21, 2013, 11:36 AM: I have the Canon 7D. Love it. Before that I had the Canon 40D, also a great camera. Part of the problem for any camera below a full frame size (i.e. the Canon 5DMIII or the Nikon D600 and now the Canon 6D) is the sensors are more prone to noise. So for night shooting you're going to have to contend with a lot of noise in your finished picture when you bump up the ISO (which i basically a measure of how sensitive the camera's sensor will be to light) to 2400/3200 you'll start getting noticeable noise and graininess that you'll have to contend with. Most of the amazing professional quality night shots which show a beautiful and colorful milky way are from the full frame class of camera. To date I still have not gotten a milky way shot I'm happy with, even from places like Glacier NP and Bryce Canyon. Night shooting too usually is best done with more than one person because then people can "paint" elements in the foreground with a flashlight or headlamp, leading to neat effects and a more interesting photo to give a sense of "place" to the night.

In this one, I painted my wife with the headlamp, and she stood really still while the International Space Station went overhead last fall. It was about a 75 second shot, I think
(https://www.myfishfinder.com/fishing_forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm9.staticflickr.com%2F8444%2F7850428990_2a63d7d382_c.jpg&hash=5eb904af8c463c7dcbe0899c5770fabf)

The only other night sky shot I'm somewhat happy with is the Geminids from last December:
(https://www.myfishfinder.com/fishing_forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm9.staticflickr.com%2F8353%2F8271449057_76f7d04c1b_c.jpg&hash=ceaa9607e6781dc4ba03b59e6b43514c)

A dark night sky is crucial, good white balance control, and adding foreground interest with lights. You can even spell things with lights in the night which is kinda cool.

As for camera's - go with Canon. My own biased opinion ;D

Post by: lehigh vally on Jun 21, 2013, 02:25 PM: Cool shots cnr!! I was wondering the same thing Snagger. Must be a composite, more than one shot blended together over 30 seconds and your going to get trails.

Drove up to the Gap last night to try a few shots with my new Sigma 20 mm 1.8. Defiantly not your typical kit lens well be going through a little learning curve to get it figure out

They have trails when you look close. One thing that helps is I used super wide angle (10mm) for the shot, so the distortion of the lens tends to "smooth out" the movement of stars. No composite in this one.

thanks for the info cnr I guess a 20 mm isn't wide enough for it to be affective in that way.. Another trick is to go a f stop lower and one up on the shutter just speed it up, I was doing that last night when the breeze kicked in rite after dusk, even a slight but consistent breeze will affect the shot usually resulting in a fuzzy grain some times. I should of got a heaver tripod when I upgraded last year :-\

Post by: Drifter_016 on Jun 21, 2013, 07:48 PM: You can still get good Astro shots with a crop sensor camera.
The best way to get good Astro shots is to stack images.
You are able to shorten up your shutter times reducing noise.
The stacking process also helps to reduce the noise from long exposures.
The best Astro shots are almost all stacked images. Especially deep space objects like galaxies and nebulas.
Here is a very good and free stacking program.
Try it out and you may get that milkyway image you're looking for.

Not afraid Wayne just cautious...If I had some one with me I would have stopped, framing the shot is the most vulnerable time when my eye is on the camera and not behind me. In NY I don't even think about it, being the only one around there's no real concern, hear in town well you know :unsure:

Post by: SNAGGER on Jul 01, 2013, 12:57 PM: Brookfield power is running the bare minimum flow of 185cfs, filling the redfield res. as we speak, has been since yesterday morning.This with an upcoming high flood potential rain event on its way.....Since I'm not allowed too talk too brookfield power anymore, i sent an email to channel nine news, maybe they can get an answer from them.

Brookfield power is only running the bare minimum flow of 185cfs on the Salmon River from the Redfield Reservoir, with high rain potential on the Tug hill the next 3-5 days, many business owners and residents near the river are wondering why there not running a bigger flow til the flood potential subsides. Maybe you guys could call them and find out why, before we get flooded like other areas have. Thanks, Shane Muckey

hopefully these clowns will raise the river tonight to atleast to match the current inflow of 4-500cfs, man I don't get these people.

Post by: nightfisher on Jul 07, 2013, 02:39 PM: We've had sighting of at least 2 bear in the area in the last few days. Usually young ones kicked out by mom looking for their own territory. They follow the Delaware and Lehigh rivers down here and usually follow the ridges west and then head back north when they figure out there's too many people.

If your looking for a good quality one you might want look at a Manfrotto, I have the larger of the two in the 290 series. The smaller unit might be good for her, look at the max height with out the mast extended and match her up with one that she can stand behind and look through the view finder with out bending over. Not sure about the lens I don't remember what camera she has and it really depends on how your going to use it. What lens it she using now?

I was looking at the pic of the changes being made above the short bridge. Did they block off the diversion that runs behind the End Zone, along Maple Ave across from the Ball Park and comes out below Haldane?

this question kinda got buried and was wondering about the construction above the short bridge...

Nice fish HT !....lots of boats out there on sunday,I fished solo and got 2 kings. I took a friend out yesterday and we caught one that almost made 28 lbs. and just missed the loc leaderboard...but it looks small compared to the brute that Hunt and Cheeks caught!....

Post by: SNAGGER on Jul 16, 2013, 02:55 PM: Talked with Fran yesterday, since the River dropped, he can't visually find an atlantic, I think he said theres 2 skams at the hatchery raceway, and only like 7 browns, none at altmar bridge, few if any in church pool, the fact that browns aren't even in the river after all that water and cool weather is very odd... Said its the least amount of lake run fish hes ever seen for this time of year on the hatchery property. nothing to be worried about, just unusual. The money ear marked for eroision control in altmar and the schoolhouse somehow is being used on that wall in Pulaski, hope they don't run out before fixing the schoolhouse pool.

Post by: SNAGGER on Jul 21, 2013, 09:46 PM: Well after a much needed drying out, we went 9 full days without rain... just as it was about to get dry, we picked up an inch of rain friday into saturday morning. Perfect.

Heres a pic of the new wall in pulaski, its pretty nice, I walked the full length of it, it really only jets out maybe 3-4 feet near the bridge pool from the old cliff, not much River was lost and water can still divert around the Island... With all the land grabbing and posting going on up here, theres usually not much good to say about this River these days, but I think this wall is pretty nice.

Storm developed over head, no warning, just run and shoot...so no incoming shots, only money shots.....

don't think its the white balance rob, I got 20 plus shots, none look like this one, every other one is normal, it was pouring like mad, then for no reason it stopped, I ran out set up and I could hear the rain re coming across the corn when all of sudden anywhere from 5-8 bolts in every direction came crashing to the ground, there was lightning in every piece of the sky, wish I got what I saw above my head..thunder and lightning at the same time, like explosions, it was great... then it started down pouring and ran for cover so I didn't ruin another camera.

Post by: SNAGGER on Jul 24, 2013, 01:23 PM: Hey Rob I disciplined myself to keep the camera on this barn, even though giant bolts were blasting just to the south of it, I wanted a bolt striking that Silo, I stayed on it for 10 minutes, it never happened. A bolt blew something up maybe 300 yards to the south, it was really loud...probably a tree, but the corns too tall now too see the horizon.

one time I ducked into my fillet station while watching a storm, lightning struck the metal roof, went in one shoulder and out my leg, stomach pains were intense, turned my hair white. Been that way ever since...about 7 years ago... That was a close one.. ;D

or one of the spikes on top of the barn roof would have ben cool to, I think they are put there just for lightning. Give it time you'll get one striking something sooner or later. Cant get much closer than that crazy bolt :w00t:

After a cold March and cool april, I think the main run will come in the last week of September. With that said, I bet we get a couple medium runs with any large east wind... It won't be fish in a barrel this year, days where you hook over 40 will be a lot harder to come by, but with larger flows the quality of the hook ups will be where its at.... Watch the weather careful around the labor day release, this weather pattern is very similar to 2010, the year of the flood, the main run came in around the 27th, but we had a good labor day week, then not much til the main run.

Trout brook, normally dried up in Late July, flowing really good right now.

Post by: Robbieq16 on Jul 28, 2013, 05:29 PM: I get lost with winds why would a east wind trigger the fish to enter does it bring in cooler water temp towards the salmon river
Title: Re: SALMON RIVER 2013 SALMON AND STEELHEAD THREAD
Post by: SNAGGER on Jul 28, 2013, 05:31 PM: flips the lake, bringing cooler water too the shoreline, then a strong west wind stacks warm water stranding the salmon out of temp, 8times out of 10 they enter the port rather than swim 6 miles to find temp again, well that's a theory I've believed in for over 20 yrs,....
Title: Re: SALMON RIVER 2013 SALMON AND STEELHEAD THREAD
Post by: SNAGGER on Jul 28, 2013, 05:33 PM: If I call mark on the Lake and he says yesterdays fish are missing, my next move is too check rt 3, see which way they moved. ;)

We now have dsr reports, but I never needed them... higher flows this year, a minor run could run dsr at night and never get picked up on radar.

Post by: SNAGGER on Jul 28, 2013, 09:41 PM: Just drove 70 miles round trip to get ahead of a super cell thunderstorm that slammed sylvan beach, there was only 2 lightning bolts visible as the rain/hail shaft was intense.. I just puchased 2 filters for my camera for shooting daytime lightning and didn't know how too use them yet, I always learn everything the hard way, probably the best lightning bolt I've ever seen hit under an amazing storm conopy, it ran the full lenghth of the sky and hit the water, there was a 10 foot explosion of water where it hit, the bolt was violet colored...but when I checked too see if I got it, my settings were too dark, missed it completly, but I learned more about that filter in the next 5 minutes then I had in a month, the next one, won't get away... Just incredible rain, water up too the headlights in sylvan and lots of hail. I'm totally sick I missed that shot

Hey Rob, those other shots were with the D70, this Shot I quickly took with the D90, just before adding the filters and letting it roll for lightning.

Supercell updraft wall.

Just thinkin about tying some egg patterns for the fast approaching salmon season and I have a few questions. What are your favourite egg hooks to use, I have heard Daichii point 510 are the best, any thoughts?
Also, does anyone have a preference to use estaz vs ice chenille vs cactus chenille for tying estaz eggs? and what size estaz, standard or large?

Cheers!

diachi 1120 is my favorite steelhead hook, I use cheaper, less sharp mustad hooks for salmon.

heres one with same f22 iso 100 just less exposer. Learned a cool trick last night at the lake, its dark out right, well if I wanted too tell where the clouds or rain was, I just snapped off and ugly grainy iso 2500 shot, showed me the rain, so I knew how long I had before I had to make a move.

Sitting there in the dark last night, I was wondering where the storm clouds were, it was black out, so you can't see anything, plus I'm a good ways from the car if it starts raining, so I turned the iso up too look to see where things were up there, it was handy.

This was a setting I compramised on with 13 stop stacked filters on if Lightning had occurred, look at the wind ripping across the water..

Post by: lehigh vally on Aug 04, 2013, 06:22 PM: Spent the weekend shooting in the Pocono mountains. The calendar says August but the cooler than average temps would have you thinking other wise. Got a few hours in Friday before the clouds shut me down for the night. Saturday was a much better day, Got up early and fish Glens pond I went 5 for 5 on large mouth and pickerel, Glen just caught a buzz ;D Then we took a ride around the area and stopped in to see a few friends and had a few beers just waiting for sun down and the twilight to burned off hopefully revealing a blazing night sky. I finally figured out the focus on my Sigma 20 mm took a little while getting use to it but the time I spent last trip shooting the same frame over and over to find the sweet spot was well worth it. Got a bunch off shots for ya, ill post a few hear and the rest on FB and photo bucket

Post by: SNAGGER on Aug 07, 2013, 09:09 AM: Southeast winds are cranking this morning here in Altmar, cool temps last week or so and rain coming this afternoon and tonight... Any other year I'd say ah way to early for anything too serious, but its been very rainy this summer and cool for the most part, I might have to check the port tomorrow to make sure nothing substantial gets tricked into entering, I'm not talking about the handful left over from the weekend release. A real Group of fish, way to early to be lookin already, wow, if a good chunk does come early, could be some big no fish gaps later in the run...I'm pretty sure nothing majors gonna happen, but you got to look with east winds like this after a cold snap.

I've seen runs as early as Aug. 4th, back in the mid 80's a huge run came up then, the ballpark was on fire!!!

I agree, I went up once in early august in the mid ninety's for a smallie / scout the river trip and ran into a pod of kings just below Pineville. Run didn't occur until mid to late September that year. I did throw a nightcrawler on the UL outfit to them, they must not like worms. ;D The smallie fishing was good though, and I did learn some spots with the low clear water.

We might waste a lot of wild fish this month through the labor day release, if that happens, could be big gaps of no fish while waiting for the main run later in September, but if it stays cold right into September(theres no heat waves forecast here through the 21st ) all bets are off and we'll take it as it comes... very unusual summer indeed. very cool and wet. atleast this year, they'll make it upriver and not get trapped at dsr.

Post by: 00Fisher00 on Aug 08, 2013, 12:59 PM: Last year a good friend of mine got me hooked on fishing the Salmon River for steelheads. We definitely gave it a heck of an effort but were rather unsuccessful, the only fish I actually caught was on a drift boat charter! I was curious if running the same set up as far as gear and technique go. I bought an Okuma Raw 2 centerpin reel and paired it with a 13' UL rod to further fuel the addiction. My reel is spooled with 8lb mono and 20lb backing braid. Is that a common set up or do guys usually run heavier equipment/line? As far as terminal end, I had run a bead (unsure of actual successful bead colors, but throwing everything i had at 'em!! haha) on a flouro leader under a raven float. Is that something that still works for Salmon, or is this a whole new ordeal?

Is that something that still works for Salmon, or is this a whole new ordeal?

In my novice opinion 8lb mono with a 13' rod won't work well for Salmon and especially if you don't have much experience. There is a big difference IMO between catching a Steelhead and a King Salmon. Most guys on here use 12lb mono on a fly reel set up with a noodle rod but you need to have a good (sealed) drag. Those Kings are like freight trains and will take you for a ride and likely a real short one with the other set up. I've been using 12 lb mono on a 10' noodle rod and I still haven't landed one yet. Probably had like 30 on in the past 3 yrs. I may step up to 15 lb mono this year.

As far as the presentation (bead) most guys believe that Salmon don't "HIT" during the run up to spawn. They say it's a show of aggression. It doesn't matter really what you think but here's the rub. You can catch them using a piece of bubble gum on a hook (IMO) or lots of guys use sponge (you can buy it up there and it lasts forever) or you can throw flies, like estaz or egg patterns, etc. They all work! Just don't get caught up in the arguments about their behavior and come to your own conclusions with experience and some time investment.

We still can't figure out if a smallmouth about 2 lbs is a male or female and the same is true about Walleye. Not by merely looking at them anyway. We know the larger ones are "likely" females since the males ARE SMALLER, however, females at some point go through the 2 lb phase. So don't expend to much energy on a subject that even fish biologists struggle to ID and or explain. O My KISS! well that's another can of worms.

Post by: hunterdeneugene on Aug 08, 2013, 04:34 PM: I use 10 lb Maxima (both ultra green and chameleon) on a Redington Pursuit. I still have a Okuma SLV as a back-up and the few days my kid fishes he uses it. I use a 10 wt St Croix Legend Ultra rod and have a St Croix premier 8 wt. They have landed a ton of fish. I have I just bought a Sage 1800 reel but that is rigged with flyline. I also have a Redington Drift. I mount them both on a older Sage (not sure which model) 9 1/2 foot 8 wt. I think the Sage fishes more like a 6 wt and I really feel like I have to baby it. I use it as a back up or a rod for letting someone borrow. My 10 wt St Croix is awesome. I also have an Okuma Connisseur noodle steelhead rod I fish with a Diawa Regal XiA, also 10 lb test Maxima and this is my spinning outfit. My kid mostly bogarts this one and he is a machine.

Bobby went 0 for 3.....What beasts,one just about jumped over bobby's head, wish I had a camera for that, it was pretty good stuff.... man there big this year, lots of jumps , water was getting warm as we were leaving, I don't know if I would drive up from Pa or anything over these fish, but hooked 9 of mine on the blind, seems too be a few kicking around most places we looked. One spool of line already toast. I got a nice action shot of deadeyes for his album, but can't post it, too much details to our spot.....salmon fever" might ruin it..

Well hit the River today for about 3 hours with deadeyes, we had an excellent time, I hooked 11 kings and only landed two... Bobby went 0 for 3.....What beasts,one just about jumped over bobby's head, wish I had a camera for that, it was pretty good stuff.... man there big this year, lots of jumps , water was getting warm as we were leaving, I don't know if I would drive up from Pa or anything over these fish, but hooked 9 of mine on the blind, seems too be a few kicking around most places we looked. One spool of line already toast. I got a nice action shot of deadeyes for his album, but can't post it, too much details to our spot.....salmon fever" might ruin it..

Post by: Thor on Aug 08, 2013, 09:01 PM: Hello,

Over the past two years, my son and I have made a few trips to the Pulaski area to fish for Steelhead. We've managed to land a few fish, but the fishing hasn't exactly been spectacular for us newbies. I am sure most of it has to do with our lack of experience and little knowledge of the area. This year, I am thinking about having the two of us do a float trip. Generally, are float trips in the Fall worthwhile, or are they usually better in the Spring? If Fall is good, I am thinking about setting something up for this coming Fall.

Can anyone recommend some good guides, especially ones that would be willing to suffer two newbs, including a 14 year-old?

Here is a pic of our best fish:

Post by: fishgalore on Aug 08, 2013, 09:56 PM: "Camping on the Big D this weekend Bob. Hope to get a few eyes and smallies. Nice fish"

I've been wanting to fish with the boat near where the Big Flatbrook comes in but then I have to launch from Bushkill. Don't know much about it and its a good haul to scout it out. What can you tell me is it worth a try? Flows look about average for this time of year.

I've caught many nice Smallies this year. Biggest so far was 19 1/2" but many 18"ers. They are fun as heck. There's a picture of it here on this thread:- http://www.myfishfinder.com/fishing_forum/index.php?topic=56710.0 (http://www.myfishfinder.com/fishing_forum/index.php?topic=56710.0). Just scroll down.

Thor..............with a name like that you shouldn't need much help from us mortals. Only kidding. IMO a guide is a good idea. I've done mine in the fall a couple of times and worth it. Northwoods Outfitters is one many of the guys on here are familiar with. Here's his website:- http://northwoodsoutfitters.net/ (http://northwoodsoutfitters.net/). There are many to choose from. Do some research and continue to ask around referrals are a guides best friend.

I'm likely gonna do it again this year.

Northwoods is definitely the way to go for a guide. If you are thinking fall trip I would depend on when, most fall trips are geared around the salmon run because primarily that is what is in the river. I would say for a steelhead trip and if you could only choose fall or spring, go spring. I prefer winter myself because you can most likely find a piece of river and have it all to yourself. The weather up in Pulaski in the wintertime has a mind of it's own, so you need to be aware of that. BTW those steelies in the pictures are more than respectable,, I know plenty of guys that fish there and don't catch nothin. Tight lines

Sweet fish!
I always wonder to myself..every year, do these early fish really fight that much harder or is it just because I'm rusty? The early ones always seem to spank My butt and seem to be a very hardy fish. You would think by the way these fish entering the system early in the toughest of conditions just might lead to a much stronger strain of wild fish in our future? On another note, I noticed that you don't bleed your fish out? Or did you pop a gill and I can't see it?

Sweet fish!
I always wonder to myself..every year, do these early fish really fight that much harder or is it just because I'm rusty? The early ones always seem to spank My butt and seem to be a very hardy fish. You would think by the way these fish entering the system early in the toughest of conditions just might lead to a much stronger strain of wild fish in our future? On another note, I noticed that you don't bleed your fish out? Or did you pop a gill and I can't see it?

My Orange guy loves the blood, he goes nuts for this stuff, walleye and perch he'll eat if hes starving, but salmon he starts pacing and acting like hes on cat nip.If he sees me carrying a salmon in the evening, he'll come running from where ever he is.

we found him in November of 2003 at a diner, his tail was frozen to the steps, he was tiny only a couple months old, as he grew, which was fast once I started feeding him, his tail kept falling off, so at 7 months old I had in docked. The only way I eat salmon is make sure you cut all that dark side off with the blood in it and cut in small chunks, then bread heavy with seasonings and deep fry it... good with cocktail sauce. I'm actually eating it again, its high in omega 3's eyes and perch don't have omega 3 oil in them...

mix horseradish(a lot, or to taste) into some mustard(guldens) and cover the fish side,
bake 10 minutes per inch fillet thickness in preheated 350 oven,
yumm,
the fillet usually flakes off the skin, and leaves the dark stripe there too.

That shot is looks a little rushed, try it again tonight with the shutter delay on and use the long exp noise reduction, f-3.5 at 1000 first at 30 no longer, bump the iso up to brighten it, don't rush it any vibration will give you that fuzzy look to your stars, all the way out might not be spot on for stars so try it back just a crack if your still fuzzy

what do you do with the fillets? Last year I tried baked one of the kings I caught it tasted ok but I think there are some better ways to prepare them. Btw what happed to oranges tail.

Here's another option:- cut the fillets in one person portions or leave whole. Spread soft butter on one side and coat with cajun or creole spices, flip and do the same to the otherside. Seal in aluminum foil and fold the foil so it is SEALED. Preheat the grill to high then place the foil with fish on and close the top. Now is the tricky part. Depending on the size and thickness of the fillet go 3 to 4 minutes per side. That's it. If the fillet is 3/4- 1" thick it might be a little bit longer. Thinner, by 50 % and you can reduce the time down to 2 1/2 - 3 min/side. To check put a fork in at 45 degrees and twist if it flakes its done........if its dry it's overdone.......and if it resists flaking it needs to cook a bit longer. Remember in the foil it will cook until you remove it from the foil. The flavor is outstanding and juicy if done correctly. Even my kids liked it and you can do it with any kind of fish.

I've done it similarly with beef, chicken and pork but all without the foil. With fish the foil is key. Enjoy.

Where can I park on the north side of the hill to hill and walk up to the closed off on ramps on 378. Looks like it would be a killer spot.

If you want to see stars in the Lehigh valley you need to look north of blue Mt, the light pollution is so bad you can barely see the north star let alone anything else, look at the bottom of the gap in the last shot, all that light is dirt from the city :wacko:

Post by: lehigh vally on Aug 11, 2013, 12:32 PM: I don't care what any one says there's no magical setting for infinity If your on f-8 or lower your need to be dead on with it and I mean exactly dead on, at 30 seconds or longer any vibration at all will only make things worse.. When your using a low f your not getting much help from the aperture. I use to let it on one setting but not any more, I had a light 8 to 10 MPH wind and I could see the affects from using a long shutter so I went to F- 3.2 lowered my iso to 800 and dropped back to 15 to 20 seconds to speed up the shot less time for the wind to do any damage. The only way your going to improve is to keep at it, I didn't get where I am in one summer its gonna take a while to become confident enough to just throw a setting in and have it work first time off. May be next time I ask you to ride along you will :-\

Needless to say the show was cancelled and I NEVER did get to see my favorite band at the time. They fell on some tough times afterward. Bummer. I made a ZOFO banner too for naught. That was in '77.

If u have the coin DSR is the place to go(or at least close to the top of it). I've done well with BIG streamers,usually chartreuse. Fish to the side of or slightly over the fish and let THEM decide. Won't find tons of players (prob 30% at best),but the rewards are priceless.

Post by: Braz315 on Aug 14, 2013, 07:46 AM: Mike78 - goin up before the crowd is a good move in my opinion, less fish but more river to yourself. Caught my first kings last year, you get to explore the river which is nice. Follow the thread everyone gives pretty good general advice to put to use.

if you target them you will get one eventually. i have caught literately thousands of salmon- both kings and cohos and browns and steel heads over the years but i took a 10 year break and thanks to Frank i am back again right at it it.i spent countless hours over a 5 week period to get this fish and that is why i mounted it. yes i have caught bigger but the moment made me decide ;) i like this mount because the colors match as if i caught it yesterday ;) i will get the brown one day that i want soon i am sure. thanks guys 8)

Post by: SNAGGER on Aug 18, 2013, 02:28 PM:    Nice shots Rob!!!

  Got some good reports of schools of kings in the Estuary thursday, then a friend hit 40 on friday in the lower River, So I rounded up a good crew for the weekend... But once the Fish made it upriver a bit, instead of staying together in a nice ball, they spread out pretty good and the fishin this weekend was a little tricky for us, but we made the best of it..... Me and my best friend Dave fished together Friday evening and again Saturday evening with the "crew" and had a great time, I hit 33 kings total, an 11lb steelhead and released a 14lb brown and a 5lb brown, dave did the same numbers on kings... Played some wiffle ball and had a cook out...Very fun weekend with the crew, rust is out now, labor days gonna be a bloodbath..... Heres a few pics...

Big Brown I released.

Post by: C_Skinner on Aug 19, 2013, 08:54 AM: Hi All,

Looks like "the season" is beginning with a bang! I haven't ever fished for salmon on a Lake Ontario tributary but last year's run kinda got me excited to try. Here is a neophyte's question: Any recommendations on where a fellow can try wade fly fishing for salmon on the Salmon River at this time of year? I'm keen on trying in the coming week or so to avoid the standing-room only river (I'd prefer hooking something large and angry on the forecast rather than a large and angry fisherman on my backcast). I know about the DSR but would like to be able to take a fish home for the table (I presume that the fish are good table fare when fresh/bright). Suggestions for flys and tactics are also very welcome.

Tight lines!
Cameron.

Right now the whole river is fly friendly with no people, except the last 2 miles in Pulaski... Theres gonna be people where the fish are, I actually prefer 10 guys in a run, I hook way more in crowds, then alone..... like last night I fished alone and only hooked one, people hooking fish keeps them moving upstream, if theres no one around they'll settle into a deep run in the daytime. pick a spot anywhere right now, tons of room, just not a ton of fish, there pockets of them, got to cover some water to find them, I walked a mile or so in an hour last night.

I gotcha..........but my comments were made because of some of the things I'm hearing. It looks like I'm tied up so not likely for me. Gremlin proved what you said a couple of posts ago.

Post by: fishgalore on Aug 19, 2013, 09:41 PM: BTW:- I wonder what Danbo thinks:- Does a King fight harder than a Muskie? ??? :whistling: :flex:

I never caught a Muskie bigger than 31" and about 7 lbs. but I know he knows the answer to that question. Even a 50" Muskie is no match for fresh Kings in the river!

Look out, ole Bruce is back in town, if you see a guy in a green army jacket, and it's 80 degrees, it's him!
He's up for the next 5-6 weeks, just got back from five weeks in Alaska.
He'll prolly want to catch up with you and Freddie at some point.

Post by: perch-hound on Aug 20, 2013, 11:06 AM: With all the rain we've had, the river has to be in good shape this year, I hope to get up there and beat on a few myself.
50+ hookups this early is a really good day! Keep the pics coming for us desk drivers!

Here is a question of etiquette. I am putting together a collection of website links in my bookmarks that are relevant to fly fishing for salmon/steelhead particularly the Salmon River. I'd like to share them with everyone who is new to this venture (such as I am). Is it bad form to post that list here even when many of the sites are outfitters/companies/blog posts?

Aiming to offend the fewest...

Thanks,

The Old Farmer's Almanac calls the August blue moon, "a full sturgeon moon." According the almanac, "Some Native American tribes knew that the sturgeon of the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain were most readily caught during this full moon. Others called it the Green Corn Moon or the Grain Moon."

This might help, it's a start:- http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/62216.html (http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/62216.html)

http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/62202.html (http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/62202.html)

Read the reports here to see what some folk @ the DSR are landing them with:- http://www.douglastonsalmonrun.com/Fishing-Conditions.aspx (http://www.douglastonsalmonrun.com/Fishing-Conditions.aspx)

Most shops sell sponge if that's what you want to use. It works.
You can tie up some Pink San Juan worms with heavier #2 Pink Chenille and a heavy Salmon/Steelhead hook. That's what I'm using this year along with lots of orange estaz eggs.

Eggs or Streamers............YES! Both will work for Steelhead.

Couldn't get any on the hook they were pretty line shy I guess. People are so much more friendly I feel like early in the season, the people I saw in town were offering up some good advice. Where do all the non English speaking people come from??

You got it!! Seems strange how they don't care if you have a place to park or not but they want you to come in to town spend money and have a good time but its frustrating as hell when you cant even find a place to park to get to the good fishing at times.

Post by: SNAGGER on Aug 21, 2013, 10:09 PM:   Looks like Elvis has left the building in Pulaski, after hearing from lodgers how good they did today I finally was able to run down and fish around 630pm, trickles of fish at the ball park and staircase was all that was left of a massive 3 day run, so we did a run up too papermill to try to cut off the back end of this run, and that's what we did, seen about 30 fish moving up through the riffs, I hooked up 11 times in 2 hours and brought home 2... As warm as this water got today, man were they still on a mission going upstream, at dark they were blasting the rapids in Altmar, they have arrived upriver.

Only saw one landed and we didn't get slimy hands today either. Was a blast fishing with the boy, watching him hold his own against those fish. :flex: We'll hit 'em another time. ;)

Shane, remember the days of grabbing Jr's waders and running him downstream to chase his fish??? How times change!! Life is GOOD! 8)

Post by: SNAGGER on Aug 23, 2013, 09:47 AM: I never made it out yesterday but the guys here reported steady fish moving throughout Pulaski area, not the massive numbers like Monday -Weds, but still very good numbers even if it was september, today on the other hand heard the ball park and other spots finally went back to just a few fish, like August is supposed too be, but weds we thought it was over, but it was just a gap in the run, be interesting to see if this run makes it too day 5 and this is just a gap. Had one downpour as the front came through yesterday, just dropped a quarter inch of rain, nothing substantial.

August Run of 2013, day 2....... don't count salmon, some guys were out eating dinner.... hey fred reggie said it was the most salmon hes every seen in his pool today.

He may not be able to read, "don't count salmon, some guys were out eating dinner" or spell "fir the amount" but at least he can count. 1 out of 3 isn't bad.

Oh wait, his math is wrong too, 35 fish, 9 guys equal 27 fish not 24. Eight guys in the picture plus one taking the pic equals 9 guys. Better luck next time trying to burn one of the nicest and helpful guys on the river. A big thanks to those guys that were absent in the picture and brought me back a large choc. shake from McD's

Your Welcome but please don't exaggerate it was only 1 branch that got away from us the rest I dragged out of the river and threw in the woods.That tree is gonna be a nightmare when the season amps up and guys are elbow to elbow.If the branch ended up in another hole downstream I would of went in after it but it didn't and at no time did it pose any danger to other fishermen. If you were that upset why didn't you come say anything??

Post by: SNAGGER on Aug 24, 2013, 09:16 AM: Hit the lower black/staircase area last tonight for about 2 hours to get an idea of what is in store for the ball park area for today, its slowed down alot, seen maybe a dozen fish in the riffs and hooked up 11 times in the pools on the blind, hooked an odd ball one right off the bat in the rollers, but mostly fished deeper riffs, as there was little movement, wish I had better news, but its back to normal August fishing for now I think, might be time to shift a touch higher or wait for the next run........ a few steelies were landed yesterday.

Thanks for the showin me the ropes on friday evening! Good to meet some of the crew! We hit up the ballpark for a couple hours in the morning, lots of people fishing and I could count the number of hook-ups on one hand. I went 0 for 1 which I considered a small victory considering there weren't many fish around.
Went and checked up river, no fish around as expected
Thanks again and see you soon!!!

Hey Snag,
Thanks for the showin me the ropes on friday evening! Good to meet some of the crew! We hit up the ballpark for a couple hours in the morning, lots of people fishing and I could count the number of hook-ups on one hand. I went 0 for 1 which I considered a small victory considering there weren't many fish around.
Went and checked up river, no fish around as expected
Thanks again and see you soon!!!

John

Had a good time Friday evening fishin with you Jomo, great stories from when you lived in British Columbia, I've always wanted too fish there.. Rome wasn't built in a day, you got the Salmon River crash course, its all gravy now. I cleaned some from up top, there around... ;)

You guys are all awesome, but alas, a poor boy like me has so little to report, I'm a freakin eel fisherman for gosh sake, like the outkast in high school everyone picked on. I'm just a quiet lurker. I made iceshanty my home. I just needed some salmon for cutbait, that's why we came up since fallfish just weren' doing it anymore.

Now if only you knew what you missed in Oswego after you left, well................

I can report, we made the 2.5 hour drive up from Stroudsburg and trudged from 81 down to haldane, see 4 fish on ropes and another 6 fish swimming freely. I hooked one and lost it, pikepopper landed one with a lamprey still attached.

and dmented, well............

Going to bump the oswego thread up if I can find it. Let the pics do the talkin once Dmented skihunter finds it tomorrow. but I'm sure the texts went out, and someone knows so shush and let demski have his 15 minutes of fame.

see you boys once I hear more fins than water.

Dr. JM

Ps. Hey mike, still need 2 more eels to finish off the season with 100 this month, and 22 for an even 300.

If you guys got the amount of rain we got here in sodus tonight something big should be in the making up there.

We did not get a direct hit from those storms, about 8 hours of steady light rains, wound up just shy of an inch for the day .90 in the gauge, great for the water tables, but no run off at all... night time temps could hinder any new fish this week, we'll see, hasn't been any new fish since last Thursday.

Post by: UglyStik on Aug 29, 2013, 05:47 PM: Is there anything that can be done to protect fisherman's access? It just doesn't seem right. If major hunks of riverside keep getting bought up and made PRIVATE it impairs PUBLIC access. Access to a resource that EVERYONE has paid for and should have a right to. I know this very issue has come up in the past with the DSR, but this is heading in a bad direction, I feel. Another thing, if enough of it is private, pay for play fishing that could cause people to take their recreation elsewhere. That could hurt the very tourism industry the stocking program is there to promote, no? I am not an avid salmon fisherman, I go maybe 3 or 4x a year, so maybe it's not my place to say. But couldn't a petition, or talking to elected officials have some effect? Just don't want to see the sportsmen & women lose out. If there is already something along these lines going on post info, pls. thx.

There has been petitions in the past involving the DSR like you mentioned. Money talks plain and simple, and that's a dang shame. TU and many other such well funded organizations are working hard to limit public access to the wealthy and or elitists. I do think this is a trend going on after the DSR won all its cases and it will not favor the middle class and average Joe's :'(

#1 only public access can be protected where it is allowed or negotiated. #2 Fisherman could have started or still can start an investment "group" to do exactly what the "private" industry is doing. Buy up whatever parcels are available, only difference is this: Then donate the land to the State of NY for the sole purpose of allowing public access for fishing. Otherwise, I don't see much else that can be done. The 2nd suggestion is a pipe dream and all the more so if you read what fisherman post about other fisherman on most fishing forums. Getting a group to be like minded on how to spend any monies raised would be difficult at best and then you have to worry about those that control the $$$$ whether or not they are stealing from it. etc, etc, ad infinitum. If you can't taste my cynicism yet then there is no hope for you.

One good thing about this new group of investors is that they won't restrict the drift boats away. Those guys need to make a living like the rest of us.

The problem I see with your suggestion is that a lot of the guys I fish with anyway can scarcely afford to fish as much as they want, let alone contribute enough to make a difference compared to the money they are competing against. I get stressed out when I want a new rod and reel. There is no upper class working peoples champion that will donate the kind of dough too ensure all manner of people can fish free for the foreseeable future. And they are capitalizing on a fishery funded by taxpayers, there in lies my beef with the trend.

I'm just groping at the wind here but just a little math. 1000 fisherman that would pay a $100 membership fee to be a part of a movement to purchase similar land comes to $100,000.00. I could easily be a part of that. There are many ways to raise funds but organizing such a venture would be taxing on any one person. Like I said above my cynicism matches yours. Not many persons would work that hard for the collective good but it is possible.

Bottom line is either do something about it or stop complaining. I'm not singling anyone out in particular with that last statement. It's just human nature. We are great at complaining and especially when it hits us personally. Bet you can even catch me complaining about something or other too! Time marches on and with it comes change.

So when this venture fails at the schoolhouse who wants to be a part of purchasing it at the short sale? Just level the place and give the land back to the state for public use.

That's logical.

Here's a couple more thoughts on raising funds. Look at how many fishing licenses were sold in NY in a given year. Ask a simple question to each fisherman when he purchases the license. Would you like to contribute to a fund to purchase land for fishing preservation? Amount $10.
http://www.dec.ny.gov/permits/26368.html (http://www.dec.ny.gov/permits/26368.html) Look at the chart........in 2010/2011 801,626 fishing licenses were sold. If half gave the $10 that would be over 4,000,000. Obviously, a partnership between the NYDEC and "private" groups would have to come together to do such a thing.

NJ has something like this for the preservation of land. http://www.nj.gov/dep/greenacres/ (http://www.nj.gov/dep/greenacres/)

100,000.00 would buy you about 5 acres with a couple hundred feet waterfront tops..... on the Little Salmon River. The chunks that are being bought and privatized are going for millions.

From what I read in the salmon river news after the board meeting this past late winter/spring was they had a sliding adjustment of their assessed value in which they would be paying taxes on full assessment in ten years. I believe each year is an increase from what the school was assessed at and they will be fully assessed in ten years...

Maybe I'm wrong or maybe it changed???

Post by: bigwilli on Aug 30, 2013, 04:05 PM: I may be wrong here and I'm sure someone will point it out if I am but wouldn't this hotel be a terrific asset to the village of Altmar. Think about the jobs in a town that has no jobs. I have lived in this area since 1972 when I got out of the Navy and my parents camped up at Colwell Pond since the 50s and Altmar has grown absolutely 0 since that time. No one likes to loose fishing opportunities but it's not like they are closing the river off completely. I sure there must be a few people in the Altmar area that would like to work close to home. Please don't tell me these are not good paying jobs. They are jobs where there are no jobs. Just saying. :-\

BINGO! I'd be willing to bet that the reason they are getting a tax break is the jobs they are creating. It happens all the time. Towns give businesses tax breaks to bring jobs to the area. Problem I have with that is that the tax burden falls on the rest of us goons. The "middle class" are carrying the weight of the world on their backs and most don't even know it.

Think about the cost to maintain that property. It will likely be nicely landscaped, you need a chef, and a bartender, facilities maintenance person(s) along with maids for 48 rooms. Also a host to check you in, at the prices they are charging they may even have valet parking, etc.. That's the reason they are getting a tax break for sure!

They'll eventually hook up with some guides and do referrals and such too.

thats only because they can't stop them do to the fact they don't own both sides, if they did they could say you can fish through but not being able to anchor , or ask for money to do so , just like the lower section

Tailwater got a tax deal from the Oswego County Industrial Development Agency. The lodge will get an exemption from a portion of its assessed value for 10 years. The exemption starts at 60 percent and declines over the course of the deal. The project also got a sales tax break on materials and equipment for the renovation work worth about $104,000.

The hotel's assessment hasn't been determined yet.

No keeping trout down there----already got my 2 20+ on the wall b4 the new reg(which benefits all the free water players)---would like to see a 1x/yr rule or something like that--would hate to have to tell a person their steel/brown of a lifetime has to b released....BTW that's a big part of why snagging was banned--those hooks didn't discriminate----so the old "they don't bite" crap didn't really fly....

Yup dead water down there since Friday afternoon... seems the release water warmed it up a bit. After last nights downpour the water is slightly cooler... Tuesday is probably not a great choice for fresh runners, possibly shortly after though ;)

Post by: Hocfish on Sep 02, 2013, 10:45 AM: Awesome to see folks having so much fun catching salmon, and getting the kids involved. Not enough kids appreciate the outdoors these days.

A friendly reminder about eye wear. I had my 14-yr old nephew on the river a few years ago, and when he was fighting a salmon the fish jumped, the line broke, and the splitshot flew back and hit him in the eye. The young kid lost his eye.

I always where sunglasses when I fish, especially on the Salmon River. Whenever I take a kid fishing I make sure they where them as well. It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.

Have a great (and safe) season everyone.

I can not recommend these rods .... Stay away from the Temple Fork 9/9 Signature 2 series ..... A bunch have busted on the river already this year and there is no bring back to the store for replacement.

Post by: hunterdeneugene on Sep 03, 2013, 09:26 AM: Stormy, glad you posted this. I was getting ready to pull the trigger on a new rod for a backup and the TFO Lefty Kreh or BVK rod were on my list as I had heard good things about them. The warranty is very important cause face it...crap happens. Last year I broke my ST Croix and when I got home, sent it in with a check for 25 bucks (I think) and in 3 weeks had a new rod at my door. I also did the same with my Loomis steelhead rod. They didn't charge me a cent and because it was out of current production (it was a GL3), they replaced it with a Pro 4X. Guess I'll look at something different.

Post by: dimebrite on Sep 03, 2013, 11:37 AM: Stormy is that applied to all models? I have a #9/11' deer creek series tfo. No complaints so far after three seasons with many battles with big fish except the cork handle is cracked which I know from rod building myself its due to faulty craftsmanship in fitting and glueing the handle. I've been getting ready to blow the whistle on it to the manufacturer soon, but seeing your post I'm gonna get right on it. Thanks for the heads up...

Fun weekend, with all the rain the rivers pushing 600cfs in town, so don't rely on DSR reports, because fish can move at will in this nice water, small groups could at anytime be moving through. Saturday the fishing was descent, Sunday it got tougher and by Monday it was pretty dead, heard yesterday was slow but better than Monday.

The longer of a sweep you make the more water your hook travels through. The better chance of hitting a fish. Longer rod means a longer sweep???

Just my 2 cents but I rarely river fish for salmon...

Part of it Bruce, the other advantages are longer casts with less weight, less line in the water, meaning less bow in the line. Picking up more line with the rod sweep, and absorbing the shock of a run better. As far as Floro, I don't use it for kings. But Drennan is the strongest if you incest

I fished the wall area again on Sunday and It was better than saturday. Very light pressure too. Missed those cohoes though. I saw them in the port Saturday night and had wishful thinking. Kudos to you for hitting some hoes

Yea good luck with that. Iv'e been going for 5yrs now and not afraid to say i still don't know what im doing. SAme as you, people hook up all around me but not me. As far as advise HA HA Everyone has a different way of catching fish. Im to the point that i go just to be in the river if i hook up with one thats nice. IF i land one then that is a excellent day for me. Good luck

OK, I would like to know why the (FLY FAGS) Don't like pinners? I was on the Other Site S.C. and one guy was talking about coming to the darkside and Pinning... Nothing bad about pinning but (the Darkside?) I thought it was fishing? :blink: I like to fish, Yeah I can swing flys on my 9wt fly rod and line them in the mouth BUT I rather float a bobber in a run and watch it get smashed under and know I had a hit... As for the fly flossers keep dreaming!!! Boo hoo. ;D

SCG

It started because typically the float fishers were using bait, that is the "DARK SIDE" to a fly fisher....

There is nothing mythical about any of it, just fish.

Interesting! My st croix died today too. My fly rod broke with a king on.... Get this the graphite broke in the center of the cork handle. And it also cut my hand pretty good. Not happy, especially not happy I have to pay the shipping. They should be sending me a new one for that bs

OK, I would like to know why the (FLY FAGS) Don't like pinners? I was on the Other Site S.C. and one guy was talking about coming to the darkside and Pinning... Nothing bad about pinning but (the Darkside?) I thought it was fishing? :blink: I like to fish, Yeah I can swing flys on my 9wt fly rod and line them in the mouth BUT I rather float a bobber in a run and watch it get smashed under and know I had a hit... As for the fly flossers keep dreaming!!! Boo hoo. ;D

SCG

The cp is the best almost every time the bobber goes down it is a true bite. Them fly guys are the biggest snaggers on the river. :w00t:

Where I work we have two branches, we call one the Country Club, the other the Big House or the Darkside... and besides, the easiest way to catch a steelie has to be meat under a bobber... or maybe flossin flies, or 3 packmans and #2 bronze fished in the rollers... ::) ::) ;D Everybody chill and worry about yourself... p.s. - I saw someone fishing a small fly under a bobber with a spinning reel. He had way to much line between fly and bobber and snagged 3 salmon. Should we bann him to the Burt dam or ignore it...
p.s. again - The Darkside joke started many years ago over there between a group of friends picking on the one friend who wouldnt buy a center pin...

All these rods breaking really suprises me. I have two salmon rods I built 10-12 years ago from "cheap" cabelas 55$ blanks - the abuse they have seen is beyond amazing...

That combo is a fine entry level combo... I've caught Tons of fish on that combo the first year I started... I still use the rod but gave the reel to a buddies son. I bet you could find it a bit cheaper though....

WTG tank and Jay told your son to give an atta boy

And not for nothing but fish can be lined with a fly rod, center pin and spin rod... ;)

Post by: hunterdeneugene on Sep 12, 2013, 10:18 AM: placed a call to St Croix today and wasn't very happy with the guy at the service dept. Told him about the rod being broke first time using it and that I had a trip planned for 2 weeks from tomorrow and needed that rod. I was willing to expedite it on my end (on my dime) and all he could say is there was no guarantee on when I would have it back. Then he thanked me for using their product! I then spoke with a helpful customer service rep and she put me in touch with the head of service/warranty. He wasn't there but left a message. that was 2 hours ago so we'll see how this turns out. Not very happy right now... I asked if they could just send me the section that broke and warranty dude said that it must be inspected first...

Thanks for the offer! I have an 8 wt Sage I use as a back up it just doesn't feel like it has enough backbone. Funny thing is I have an old St Croix Premier my kid usually uses. We've both caught hundreds of fish on it. It is St Croix's cheapy and it's ten years old and has outlasted 2 Legend Ultras, the one I broke on it's first outing yesterday and the one it replaced that broke last year. I am leery of 4 piece rods and am anal about checking the connections but they both broke in the middle of the sections. I also have a good noodle set-up but prefer my fly set-up. The head of service never returned my call....bumming here.

We used to pound the crap out of 8 and 9 weight sage rpl series rods on kings that we tied up years back. A few of em lasted well over 10 years and the blanks were seconds with slight defects and hooks... although sage rods feel lacking in the backbone department they are proven and tested by me...(at least the older series like rpl and discovery series)

Four piece rods should be checked periodically especially on the tip piece as they can loosen after aggressive prolonged casting.... good luck with your st. Croix warranty

Don't fret they will make good! Keep calling the head of service and pin him down for some priority service due to the fact that it was your first time using and you have a 9 day trip ALREADY planned. My Avid Float rod broke this past Spring on a dink 14" rainbow. Sent it back with an explanation of what happened and they sent me a brand new one after inspecting it. They want to make sure it wasn't abused. Obviously, a manufacturing defect, it broke above the handle long before the first ferrule. When you get your new rod be sure to register it with them right away. I don't remember how long it took to get it back but it was faster than I thought or they originally stated. I"m sure it helped that I own several of their rods. Let them know if they get it back fast you will be certain to be a "returning" customer. Otherwise, suggest that if not you MAY have to consider another manufacturer for future purchases but be nice about it.

I paid for shipping both to and from them. I had to send a $20 check for the return shipping.

I'd bet you have it or a new one back before the 27th.

Addendum:- checked my docs.........shipped to them 4/23.......rec'd new one back 5/7. 14 days............might just make it in time for you. They shipped it to me on 5/01 so it took 6 days shipping at the standard rate ($20).

Post by: p.schroeder on Sep 14, 2013, 11:26 AM: Hello everyone. I am planning my first Salmon trip in NY for tomorrow (Sunday) with my father and fiancee. My father and I are familiar with Great Lakes fall Salmon runs, having fished quite a few seasons on the spawning creeks and rivers of Lake Michigan in our home state of Wisconsin, she however is not. I know the fish are starting to show up, as a work colleague has been up for the past two weekends and has showed me pictures. What I do not know is how far up stream they have made it. My research indicates a boat launch at Selkirk Shores State Park near Port Ontario, but it doesn't appear that one could go very far up stream from there (16 foot Alumacraft w/ 40hp outboard). My question is this: would it benefit us to bring the boat, or would we be better off fighting the crowds for a spot on shore in Pulaski, or would the Oswego River be an altogether better idea? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I would really love to see the look on her face when a big King screams a hundred yards of line off the reel lol.

Forget the boat. ......besides it'll cost more money to tow. So save the dough and fish from the banks of the river. I'd suggest starting above the DSR or you could pay the $50/person per day to just fish there if you choose. The Black hole can be tight access but check it out or just go a bit upstream to the "staircase" aka the Long Bridge pool ("staircase" begins just upstream from the Black hole where the river ascends a steep grade up to the "staircase" just below the Long Bridge pool). Here's a link to a SR map that may be helpful on your first trip. There are plenty of public access points for most of the 13 miles of river with some exceptions.

http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/39992.html (http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/39992.html) You can print it and bring it with you. Another DEC map provides more detail found here:-http://www.dec.ny.gov/docs/fish_marine_pdf/r7salrivpfr.pdf (http://www.dec.ny.gov/docs/fish_marine_pdf/r7salrivpfr.pdf)

Enjoy and tight lines to you!

We headed back down town looking for an evening push, most of us had a few hook ups for the effort.
Just wanted to mention....... A few years ago I was introduced to a group of kids from Connecticut who thought they had the confidence and ability to take on the salmon river. Like most freshman anglers, they were quickly hit with the reality that its not as easy as it seems. But like most of us who really wanted to learn the river they kept there heads down and there mouths shut putting there time in learning and building on a base of knowledge to draw from. Over the past few seasons I have watched them gain confidence and mature into well mannered hard fight in anglers. This weekend one of the "CT boys" showed me just how far they have come by putting on a mini clinic in just about every spot he fished. Way ta go Big Brian you really impressed me this weekend bud, keep up the good work :thumbup_smilie:

Post by: nightfisher on Sep 16, 2013, 08:20 AM: Great pic's guy's. Got there Thursday afternoon. Fished low and hit a good pod, was having a ball hooking up till one took off straight away from me. the hook let go and I got 3 #4 lead shot right in the jaw. :o No worries, 2 casts later same thing, this time I ducked but my rod was there. Got cut right in half >:(. Stopped up at AOL to get my fish cleaned and heard Rubberhooks, aka Mike was on his way. Right then I knew we were doomed down low. On his arrival fishing slowed to a near stop down low as the fish has found out about his presence and decided to flee to the upper reaches of the river. We still picked at them as I didn't want to join the circus up river. Gotta repeat LV's kudos to Brian, he had the hot rod this weekend. Great seeing everyone this weekend. The fireworks show was a cool bonus. Thanks for picking up the scrapple Rick. See you guy's Thursday.

Title: Re: SALMON RIVER 2013 SALMON AND STEELHEAD THREAD
Post by: roonster227 on Sep 16, 2013, 12:22 PM: Heres a pretty interesting piece of information I found on the Dec Website.

"We are rapidly gaining an understanding of the
role of naturally reproduced fish in the Lake
Ontario and Salmon River systems. All of the
Chinook stocked in the system from both New
York and Ontario were marked with an adipose
fin clip from 2008-2011. The marking study
(See Connerton et al. 2013, section 3 of this
report) provides a variety of information
including the relative contribution of wild
Chinook to the Lake Ontario and Salmon River
systems. Returns to date have shown that wild
fish comprise a substantial portion of the lake
population and of the adult returns to the Salmon
River. For example in 2012, 60% of age-2 and
50% of age-3 Chinook salmon in the Lake
Ontario harvest were wild. In the Salmon River,
75% of age-2 and 60% of age-3 Chinook salmon
harvested by anglers were wild. The proportions
of wild age 2-3 Chinook salmon in other New
York tributaries was low (4%-24%) suggesting
that the Salmon River is the largest single source
of wild Chinook production in New York."

Post by: SNAGGER on Sep 16, 2013, 09:35 PM: If all these fish with adipose fins are wild, then why does the hatchery cement raceway have all fish with adipose fins in them right now, wild fish wouldn't know how to get in there. Right? Theres plenty of room for error at the clipping time and with time restraights and budget cuts , i'm sure many are pushed out before they smolt to the hatchery....the DEC has to bee very cautious when they make big decisions about future salmon stocking reductions......Theres no question natural salmon play a big role in the Salmon River, but 60% is pretty substantial number, I been here too long too jump on board with that large of a number. Summer Base flows which started in 1998 is why natural reproduction has rebounded, so why all of a sudden the huge increase of early run (wild?)fish, wouldn't this have occurred every august since 2002?

Shane what's you r thoughts on the august 23-26 run of 98. I don't recall taking notice to the fins back in those days but I do recall chatting with my father quite a bit in the difference of those fish in size and strength. We did throw around the notion of wild fish as we chased them upstream for three days.

I to think 60% is high ,

Agreed for the most part. but remember these are 2010's returning fish that were spawned during the flood year which was also a high flow spring if I remember correctly.

Agreed with snag regarding the Dec making quick decisions based on just a few years of study. Wild fish on the west coast have good and bad years based on water flows and temps. Some rivers get runs every other year due to bad droughts in the past. These supposed wild kings could crash as easily as they thrive.

I think the high water crop of 2010 is next year, I think you half to add a year to wild fish, the incubation period is in the river, not the hatchery.. I've had talks with Fran, as he stops by quite often, we don't always agree on everything he says, but its my understanding that the wild bumper crops come during the drought years. I remember talking to him a few years back right after the dec did there sein nettings in the spring, he said there was a bumper crop of pinheads and we were coming off a very low water season. I will be talking with Fran soon, I have a lot of questions for him, but hes adiment about no error in clipping, but who can blame anyone for not saying they didn't clip them all, no one will admit pushing fish out, but last year the dec dumped 100,000 extra steelhead in off the books, I watched them do it.

Prior to 1998 they shut the water OFF in the summer months, there was little if any natural reproduction, that years run was caused by the hatchery keeping too many fish too long and stocklings smolted to the salmon river hatchery, there was a bad run in the genesee and Oswego that year which kind of proved what they did.
Title: Re: SALMON RIVER 2013 SALMON AND STEELHEAD THREAD
Post by: SNAGGER on Sep 17, 2013, 08:34 AM: Now maybe this years august run is 80% wild, ( I'm seeing only 1-2 clipped fish per 10 cleaned)but it won't end up being 60% by the time this Run is over, and if the early run is mostly wild, the DEC needs to look back at the conditions that lead up too this bumber crop and see what caused it...The weather patterns the last 6 years and especially the last 3 have been very dynamic and unusual.... It will be interesting too see next years run, I predicted a late run in March, and if it hadn't been near record cold the first 3 weeks of August, I think I would f been right, the coho's are now late, its September 16th and there still in 100-130 feet with kings too 200 feet.

I'm only looking at it from a 40 year period of fishing and they use to run the water much different back in the day and there was some years that the water levels were up , I'm not saying anyone is wrong or right I'm thinking 60% makes a lot of fish so lets see what the cleaning stations do when it really gets under way , time will tell ,

Post by: mac4353 on Sep 17, 2013, 09:35 PM: I spoke with a women biologist from DEC . She was at a filet station checking coho for some type of tag in the face of the fish. She told me that the kings returning this year were not clipped when released because it was to stressful for them due to the heat that year. She made it sound like none of the fish were clipped but apparently that is not the case. I also caught a king this morning and it had a yellow dye mark on it. The fellow at the filet station said that it was a canadian fish, this fish was not clipped.

Definitely way before my time so respect is due to you from me, but how was the water controlled in those days?? I heard from an old timer in Pulaski that at one point in the early/ middle 20th Century that boats were able to almost make it to Altmar ... also from hearsay and some reading I always believed that coho and steelhead were the main stocks in the fifties and sixties... again, I'm commenting on a time where I was just a twinkle in my fathers eyes ;D...

I do agree though that stocking should continue. Its doing nothing but good. Also, just like government, present studies are only a reflection of what happened in the past and there is way more interpretation than facts... Whatever they've been doing is working, so why stop???

I'm fine with it all as long as the lakers don't start outnumbering the steelies again ;)

SNAG... food for thought... 95 was a drought year???

Now, enough from me and just go out and fish!!!

Definitely way before my time so respect is due to you from me, but how was the water controlled in those days?? I heard from an old timer in Pulaski that at one point in the early/ middle 20th Century that boats were able to almost make it to Altmar ... also from hearsay and some reading I always believed that coho and steelhead were the main stocks in the fifties and sixties... again, I'm commenting on a time where I was just a twinkle in my fathers eyes ;D...

I do agree though that stocking should continue. Its doing nothing but good. Also, just like government, present studies are only a reflection of what happened in the past and there is way more interpretation than facts... Whatever they've been doing is working, so why stop???

I'm fine with it all as long as the lakers don't start outnumbering the steelies again ;)

SNAG... food for thought... 95 was a drought year???

Now, enough from me and just go out and fish!!!

i never seen a salmon run till early 70's i think 72 .... prior to that salmon river was stocked as a trout stream with browns and rainbows and sorry to disbute the books salmon river was one of the finest trout streams i ever fished .... in the begining the fish for stocking were caught in pulaski across from the ball diamond at the "fish wair" and the eggs and sprem taken ... back then miagra mohawk controled the water and had a number to call most the time the water ran at night and droped in the morning .... and of course fish were everywhere , when you fished you picked a rock and watched iy if the rock disappeared you got to shore ...you could hear a rumble as it came up .... salmon river has been a controled river since before my time , the only differance was the water relased came from the bottom of the small res makink temps cooler , which kept the trout healthy ... another good man to talk to is fillet ,he was there too ;D

yup then again no reason we can't have both .... as far as fin clips remeber it's workers doing the clipping ... not biologist ,rocket scientist, or anyone that cares , i'm sure alot are missed ...not saying they arn't doing a good job!

they been attempting to restablish alantics since the mayflower left ... theres a old saying
"don't chase after bad money with good " the alantics arn't coming back ,other then a put and take deal .

we have a great fishery why listen to fly by night state biologist ,a trip to lake ontario or salmon river is the only data needed to see ...the program works and further more makes money!

stock stock stock!!!!!

Will it be enough to get the main run started for early next week?. After a one day warm up today, much colder weather for the start of next week as well.

If they dont clip them then they are all wild fish ;D hard to believe there getting that much natural reproduction out of the salmon River some thing ismells here, and its not dead Salmon my guess is they will use this argument to cut the funding on chinhooks and use the money for a expanded Alantic program :o :o

Do you remember they also had the Gill nets set up down in the Estuary.. Was the area around the Boat Launch at the park down there..After fishing up there long enough one could also smell the difference in the air as the water was coming up..Then it would be followed by a push of leaves..But spent many a day watching the Rock as you mentioned..Got caught a few times down in what is the DSR now.. Would always wait till the water cleared then carefully inch our way back across..Found out the hard way that it was a long walk around as we always used to park across from where the Parking lot to DSR is now..

Shane, we had to have run into each other years ago as that was also our go to spot..We fished the flats first then moved up to just above the old weir then our last spot was usually the Paper Mill or just above the Bridge there...

Post by: trapper2000 on Sep 20, 2013, 11:43 AM: snagger best part of fishing the wier was when they came and collected the eggs then sent the fish back down the shoot lol we were waiting to rip em :laugh:

now it's a world class fishery ,problem is a few knucklehead biologest could cause harm ! every fisherman in new york and hunters and trappers because the lic fee supports us all ...should start howling right now to not lower any king or coho numbers ...... every time they have it's caused bad years of fishing !!!!

snagger i remeber the lake freeze lot of people also drowned attempting to walk out on the ontario ice ..... not sure what year the myrix scare was but it cost us a wiped out season a few years later .....

and freddie i think ya can still hold yer own and if we team up i'm sure they will never take a couple old farts like us alive

The next rain will have to re saturate the ground all over again... Saturdays rain brought in the the coho run of 2013, it started mid day saturday during the rain and went all day yesterday.. I'm sure its still going today as well and should wrap up soon, most fish by wednesday should be upriver from this push.. Not many kings came in during this water event, there still staging or something, but theres more than enough in the river too fish for... Yesterdays temps started the day in the upper 50's, but by 3pm temps were near 50 and well into the 40's at sunset, temps dropped to 38 last night around 1am and stayed there all night,. Very cool conditions again today and tomorrow along with stiff winds will continue too cool the River temps...

Just checked my rain gauge from saturday, forgot about it yesterday, we recieved 1.35 inches of rain, the pineville gauge jumped from 400cfs to 475 cfs telling me that the ground finally is saturated again, but with no rain in the forecast in the for seeable future, it was kind of a waste. The next rain will have to re saturate the ground all over again... Saturdays rain brought in the the coho run of 2013, it started mid day saturday during the rain and went all day yesterday.. I'm sure its still going today as well and should wrap up soon, most fish by wednesday should be upriver from this push.. Not many kings came in during this water event, there still staging or something, but theres more than enough in the river too fish for... Yesterdays temps started the day in the upper 50's, but by 3pm temps were near 50 and well into the 40's at sunset, temps dropped to 38 last night around 1am and stayed there all night,. Very cool conditions again today and tomorrow along with stiff winds will continue too cool the River temps...
I had a rough time trolling out on the lake friday late morning to mid afternoon..from the river mouth out 5 miles to about 150'fow..north of the river 3 miles and south 2 miles and marked very few fish.Only landed 1 nice coho. I zigged and zagged but could not find any concentrations of fish staging off the river,in the lake.. Hopefully saturdays rain, this cool weather and shorter days, will pull some more fish from mid lake and deep water in to stage and then run ...or just come straight in and run the river. I am going to look again,and troll the lake later this week.Unbelievable amount of people fishing the river today...looked like a saturday or sunday. We fished below town early this morning, saw 3 coho,2 kings and 1 steelie hooked up out of dozens of guy's...got locked in to one spot and couldn't move around. We went mid river, much more elbow room.... and we each hooked and lost a nice acrobatic steelhead.Good luck to everyone.

Post by: hunterdeneugene on Sep 24, 2013, 06:16 AM: update on my St Croix rod in for warranty service. Called yesterday. My rod arrived on Mon Sept 16. I spoke with the service dept. and he looked it up in the system and that there was a work order number on it and said he's check the factory and see where it was. After a minute on hold he said the rod was in the guide winding stage, and after that it would go to the finish dept and then had to be baked. I asked him why they just didn't get a section for it and replace it and he said they inspect the whole rod and since mine was out of production they had to build and match the section that broke to my rod and that they always tried to repair to as new than replace. Sounds like alot of effort into making it right. He stated that it should be completed in 6-8 days, and since I leave to come up on Fri I probbly won't have it back. My son is coming up a week from tomorrow and I'll have him pick it up at the house if it is there and bring it up so I can get a couple days on the river with it. A buddy at work gave me a TFO Lefty Kreh 9ft 9wt to use, but it makes me nervous using anothers rod, so I guess my Sage is going to get a workout...

No problem kowboy...I trolled on the lake last sunday too...same areas as friday,and marked lot's of fish...could only get 4 coho's to bite..but at least we were marking lot's of fish. I'm sure there will be plenty more fresh salmon and hopefully ton's of steelhead coming in for you and Colleen to catch! Lots of Funny,and not so funny, shenanigans and mishaps on the salmon river this time of year...even if it's a slow day fishwise, you are sure to get plenty of laughs!! :D

Use Maxima Ultra Green takes the most beating.Also lately I've switched from the Maxima to P-Line CXX 12lb and I'm happy with the results. Only the CXX other P-Line brands I used in that river have frayed bad

P- line, I believe, is made with copolymer that makes it slick. It's my go to line for most of my fishing. Except with mudshark fishing. I use the splitshot that has the knotched grip...seems to hold the line better. My .02....I'm on board with Freddie with Big Game...tough line!! ;)--KP 8)

The P-Line I had the trouble with was the C21 copolymer,and it was 15lb. earlier in the year I grabbed I box and I couldn't break it with my hands but the minute it touched a rock in the river its done,the CXX 12lb. I'm using now seems to be designed like Maxima and takes a beating.With the sinker aspect I always use a smaller split shot on the bottom to keep the bigger lead from sliding.The only reason I have switched up is because the Pline is cheaper for more yardage.

Sent you a pm while you were still online but I think you got off before you saw it! Print the maps and take them with you. Plenty of places to start by this time of the year.

I've used 12# Trilene Big game in the past............going to Trilene BG 15# this year. It doesn't matter what line you use if it rubs on the rocks it's gonna get tatered. Have a backup spool spooled with the same line and bring or buy more line when you go. You'll likely need it.

why are the salmon hitting dries cause they are so hungry ? remember inside not out side the mouth not in the corner comng in ;D and what are they feeding on never seen one with anything in the stomach, just curious is all , but I have seen them hit plugs out of aggression from drift boats that were fished dead in front of them , but thats only 30 plus years watchin these fish in action , but i'm willing to see this up close and personal , I'll bring the camera for a photo opp

Title: Re: SALMON RIVER 2013 SALMON AND STEELHEAD THREAD
Post by: fishgalore on Sep 25, 2013, 08:04 PM: The only time I'm rubbing bottom that causes a problem is when a freight train takes it there not from drifting the presentation. Snags and such will bugger up most line types except maybe braid. But then we are not usually talking like 100'. Small sections to remove are not much problem unless you have to do it all day. Hence, a spare spool and spare line. Of course, the freight train could cause 100 ft to fray in seconds.

Rod tip up could reduce or limit this somewhat but you're gonna have to turn it at some point!

Hey guys, I just signed up for the wounded warriors, healing waters project. I will be taking wounded Vets for the day and teaching them how to fish the Salmon River. I Never served but I want to give back a little to those guys and gals.. :flag:

I believe it is project healing waters : Fri- Nov-1 > Sun-3
http://www.projecthealingwaters.org/Home.aspx
Great cause indeed.. I was involved in a few including the first at DSR.. Now they are held on the waters behind the hatchery.. Many also contribute their boats for floats..
Best advise is to take things slow, be patient and remember it's all about helping others and enjoying the day..
Thanks for helping :)

Awesome Video of the 2011 event with a great tune

Did I hear THE BITE IS ON, BETTER HURRY AND GET SOME FRESH BAIT.
Title: Re: SALMON RIVER 2013 SALMON AND STEELHEAD THREAD
Post by: dimebrite on Sep 26, 2013, 11:09 AM: Gotta agree with ms2, early season produces some feisty takers for me and usually late running males around 2nd week in October as well. Its clear as day to know if a fish hit or not by the placement of hook in its mouth and how it reacts when hooked. I'd say the best ratio I've ever seen is about a 50% takers and other percentage lined in one day... my favorite and most assuring taker is when line is almost straight down stream with no swing left. Those are guaranteed biters.

Freddy, I've yet to see actual matter in their bellies but I've often found remnants of digested matter in a yellow oozey form...
Now like kp said just go out and fish... ;D

For freyed line definitely check your eyelits or guides.... also pay attention to the angl e of your line when fighting a fish to prevent line Frey on rocks.

PS, maxima chameleon can tow a tractor trailer in even when freyed ;D
Title: Re: SALMON RIVER 2013 SALMON AND STEELHEAD THREAD
Post by: ripple on Sep 26, 2013, 11:48 AM: the ratio goes up to about 99% when you can see your fly and watch the fish turn, chase and strike.. sometimes however they swril on the fly and get caught up in the line so I will give that a 1/2% and another half when they are too thick to fish to and your line just swims upstream as it hits the water (fish).
No doubt when a fish hits , you set and it's head just makes a big boil on the surface.. Game on !!

Any rate fishing is all about enjoying the moment :)
Title: Re: SALMON RIVER 2013 SALMON AND STEELHEAD THREAD
Post by: Gillripper1 on Sep 26, 2013, 12:07 PM: On that frayed line I would check the reel just below the roller bearing, where the bail meets the spool body. If you ever used braid on the reel, and it slips off the roller guide it can cut a grove in that part of the reel. Then when you put mono on the spool, and it slips in that grove, fray city.
Title: Re: SALMON RIVER 2013 SALMON AND STEELHEAD THREAD
Post by: jiggin4perch on Sep 26, 2013, 04:24 PM: Thanks for the help guys, I checked all the eyes and the bail on both rods and they were fine. after further investigation of the line i found that most of the fray was mainly from the hook up about 25 ft. i would have to say that it was the rocks in the river. Also i am using trilene xt 10 lb. I will buy another spool of line before going up again just in case. Thanks again.

Is a great line, I've been using Stren 14# green, I returned my trilene XT 12#, didn't like the coating on the XT line. :P

LOL, yea I never really looked at the diameter size of the lines until this year and noticed a shocking fine. But what I did find out is that I don't like the trilene XT line because of some weird coating on the line, it just isn't smooth and doesn't go thru the eyelets as well as other line.

I only use the Stren line for salmon fish'n, normally I use trilene XL or big game, but I do like the Stren 14# for my salmon fish'n. 8)

Great pic!!!

Haven't put up a report in a while, the weather has been tranquil and un eventful... People who come into my fish cleaning station have been doing pretty descent on the upper end, but also doing well in spurts on the lower end, dsr reports little action daily, but thats not giving the whole picture, with well below normal nightime temps, the River has cooled and pods of fish leave the estuary every night, usually making it to the lower black to the ballpark by the time the sun comes up, leaving a gap in the dsr, those fish then spread out into the midsection the next day, and bleed into the upper section the next day... this was the theme all week, no monster runs, just short groups of fish working there way from mid section to the upper, I walked up to the lower fly zone today, its loaded, tons of hook ups, with the "woodstock" season starting tomorrow through Columbus day, it will be crowded, but theres fish, just might need to fish some crowds or walk a bit, weathers been beautiful, enjoy!!!!

Seen Frank and HT pounding on a few Saturday morning before it shut down to a trickle for the day. Over all not a bad weekend with the crowds of people that are around. It was a bit congested in town but up river the Altmar and Ellis cove parking lots were over flowing with goons. Got a few more for ya till I get home tonight

Got to pull a fight apart for the spot. 2 guy's walk in at 5 am and tell the guy that's been sitting there since 10:30 the night before that they were going to fish there, it didn't end well. :o At noon a few of our guy's went up for pizza's, came back and we ate. Then proceeded to fill a big trash bag with garbage, only made a small dent. freakin people are slobs. 7 weekends of this already, and the main run isn't here yet. I'm tired, but I'll be back at it this week as usual.

I'm going to be out Saturday afternoon with my 12 year old son and wife. My wife got her fishing license this year, she's not had her fish'n license since the late 90's, geez got to be 15 years now, lol. I'm hoping to get her hooked up this weekend.
Any PM's with some hot info would be great.
I know it's a far cry but I'm looking for a place that isn't elbow to elbow, yea right on a weekend too, lol.
I also know that the full run isn't in yet and it sounds like fish are down low and up high in the river.
Guess I'll just have to roll the dice and hope to pick a good section of the river some Sat. afternoon when we get out there.
Fish on --- Fish off

For my birthday I got myself one of those gopro and was playing with it today and got some great footage of her fighting her fish. Right now she is putting on some bengay for her arms, lol. So u wanted to fish for salmon huh, really though great time today. As far as the gopro I watched it on the big screen today the videos were very clear and picked up rocks and leaves under the water, the pictures were good so so far I give it an A

Tie your hook on with a snell knot and then you can create a loop by pushing the main line back through the eye of the hook.
Your yarn goes under this loop and is held tight when you pull the loop tight.
You can easily change yarn colours with this method.

Guys bringing fish into the station say Pulaski slowed alot since yesterday, Altmar should be pretty hot by tomorrow, not that it aint good today.

Some from today, 2 30's weighed in again today with the biggest so far today, this 31lb male.

Lets just say some azzhat thinks that his group can drink beer, smoke dope, go to Nice and Easy but when he's ready to come back to "his spot" everyone needs to leave. Intimidated my 69 year old dad out of the spot. He was going to have to throw me into the water. I think he was just pizzed that we were hooking up every cast. What do you think? I know most wouldn't have moved, but we left....to find just as many fish. I looked everywhere for the Pulaski PD to hook them up but couldn't find them. I would have signed the papers myself.... I am not one to jump a spot. I'll wait for a long time to fish a run I know I can hook up in, but to give it up so you can go 100 yards upstream to smoke dope ands drink beer? Rant over and I should no better than to fish the ballpark during silly season. It won't happen again...

You can simply tie the yarn on the line above the knot, one granny knot and you're good to go, trim the ends.
Very popular in Alaska.

Lets just say some azzhat thinks that his group can drink beer, smoke dope, go to Nice and Easy but when he's ready to come back to "his spot" everyone needs to leave. Intimidated my 69 year old dad out of the spot. He was going to have to throw me into the water. I think he was just pizzed that we were hooking up every cast. What do you think? I know most wouldn't have moved, but we left....to find just as many fish. I looked everywhere for the Pulaski PD to hook them up but couldn't find them. I would have signed the papers myself.... I am not one to jump a spot. I'll wait for a long time to fish a run I know I can hook up in, but to give it up so you can go 100 yards upstream to smoke dope ands drink beer? Rant over and I should no better than to fish the ballpark during silly season. It won't happen again...
You did the right thing, BUT, me on the other hand, well let's just say things would have gone differently!
Wished I'd been there to lend a hand for ya! He'd a looked silly with a beer can sticking out his ear! I absolutely can't tolerate that BS, seen it way to many times on that river. I lose some win most! :cookoo:

Its not anyone's responsibility to tame an azzholes behavior except the police or their parents maybe :) its a tough time of year for sure. I personally find to sit the sidelines myself at this point. A buddy said he fished the ballpark the other day and it was hook ups left and right but ten lines tangled instantly... can't see how that's fun :-\

It appears yesterdays big surge of fish is somewhere in the mid section of the River between the papermill and the sportsmans..... Guys bringing fish into the station say Pulaski slowed alot since yesterday, Altmar should be pretty hot by tomorrow, not that it aint good today.

Some from today, 2 30's weighed in again today with the biggest so far today, this 31lb male.

Post by: Ravo_Himself on Oct 06, 2013, 07:18 PM: me and 9 other guys went up thursday and had a blast all weekend. fished the black hole all weekend. we got there late thursday and fished for an hour and hooked up left and right. landed my first coho. small but what gorgeous colors. friday i broke out my new tfo 9wt for the first time ever. let me say that i thoroughly broke that rod and reel in. leader was too light so i broke off a lot but still had a blast. i probably hooked up to 25 fish. saturday i stepped up my leader. it was slow in the morning but picked back up. i finally landed a nice 20lb female that took me all the way down to the douglaston and back before i could land it by myself. man was that a chore with no one being there with a net. everybody in my group ended up taking some fish home and we had a blast. it was nice to see the majority of the people there willing to help land a fish or just be friendly to talk to. and a big thanks to whoever help pull my buddy out when he tried out the big waterslide trying to net my fish. first thing he said to me "sorry i lost the fish ryan" haha

heres that little coho. not a great picture but hey.

Post by: SNAGGER on Oct 06, 2013, 09:47 PM: Spent alot of time thinking today as we cleaned salmon, Reminiscing about salmon runs of the past from the 80's and 90's.. This Run is very unique, like last seasons... We had a much colder than normal spring, especially March giving the fish a late start too there gorging season, this usually causes the main runs to be a week or two late, but then came a abnormally cold and wet end too July and when they released water on the first of august here came the kings, way out of order, at first we thought they were strays, then as the cold weather continued, so did the runs, and big runs, runs that started earlier then the famed monster runs of 94 or 98.. The 98 run ended early, the 94 run was much smaller but lasted longer, last years run was rather late as a start, but very early for a main run, caused by a record warm march but was held up by a massive august heat wave...epic because of low water,but ended very early, this run has all the signs to being the biggest and longest run I've ever been a part of in 35 yrs.This could end up going down in history as what all salmon runs are compared too.. Monster east winds have been ripping the lake to shreads all day, setting up the motherloads of all mother loads to come pouring in with tomorrows heavy rain causing a great salmon finally to an already banner season, get ready boys its gonna be something... have fun... its been a hell of a ride this year.

Post by: choo choo on Oct 07, 2013, 06:10 AM: Amazing salmon run on the salmon river Snag. 2 months long as of yesterday.I remember checking on the water temperature back on august 6th, i believe it was 65 degrees.It has fluctuated a little,but Yesterday, 2 months later, it was 62/63 degrees.
Pretty consistent flows it seemed too.
I'm sure this long,extended run, has been Great for the economy along the salmon river...that is a good thing because that looong winter is not to far away.
I hope you stay busy ...good to see ya the other day...I will stop and bs again when things slow down at AOL!!
I wonder what the steelhead fishing is gonna be like...any predictions?

Post by: camo_fish on Oct 07, 2013, 07:34 AM: well, my 12 year old son and I got out for a few hours on Sat. evening and a few hours on Sunday morning. My son Hooked up 3 times with 1 in hand and we made our way to AOL to get 1 fish cleaned Sat. night. On Sunday morning we went right back to the same hole with little luck so we headed up stream a little and found plenty of kings to play with for an hour. My son didn't hook up Sunday, but it was dad's turn, lol. Yep, I hooked up like 5 times, nothing made it to hand but Dad (me), had a great time. There are plenty of fish in the river, but I'm sure with Snaggers report of the weather finally turning and the rest of the fish going in from the lake, the next few weeks will be dynamite.
Fish On - Fish Off!!!

I believe one morning in early august may have been pretty darn close to 60... I'd venture to say after this front comes through and 30's tomorrow night we'll be in the upper fifties for water temps.

Post by: fishgalore on Oct 09, 2013, 04:29 AM: Came up for 3 days, solo. Fish are stacked where ever I went. Not many hook ups, average 5/day but I landed my 1st legit King. It was actually my 2nd fish but the 1st one was hooked behind the gill plate so I released it. I estimate that one was 18-20 lbs and it took 20 mins. to get it in.

This one took less than 15 mins. but it weighed 25 lbs! Bingo, another goal met. I was stoked. Got it and all other hook ups with the St. Croix Wild River. That rod with 15 lb big game and a 12 lb drennan leader almost guaranteed landing those 2 fish. I was between Papermill and the Compactor. Nice area and a 1st time there for me. It hit my fly under a float and right in the mouth!
(https://www.myfishfinder.com/fishing_forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1090.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fi379%2Ffishsomemore%2FPicture1006131342_1-25lbsonthescale_zpsf2d742f8.jpg&hash=3bdd7f31840b2b3c64ba1e3ffde1678a) (http://s1090.photobucket.com/user/fishsomemore/media/Picture1006131342_1-25lbsonthescale_zpsf2d742f8.jpg.html)

I also landed a small jack but it too was foul hooked so I revived it and back in the drink it went. Most of the rest looked foul hooked but 2 or 3 were not. One was big and the hook on the fly I bought at All Seasons broke at the bend. I thought the hook was beefy enough when I bought it but I don't think it was 2x. I'll know for next time.

The only reason I didn't land more was Stormy wasn't there to show me how.
And Filet I am from the Norwich area. So maybe that explains it.

Came up for 3 days, solo. Fish are stacked where ever I went. Not many hook ups, average 5/day but I landed my 1st legit King. It was actually my 2nd fish but the 1st one was hooked behind the gill plate so I released it. I estimate that one was 18-20 lbs and it took 20 mins. to get it in.

This one took less than 15 mins. but it weighed 25 lbs! Bingo, another goal met. I was stoked. Got it and all other hook ups with the St. Croix Wild River. That rod with 15 lb big game and a 12 lb drennan leader almost guaranteed landing those 2 fish. I was between Papermill and the Compactor. Nice area and a 1st time there for me. It hit my fly under a float and right in the mouth!

I also landed a small jack but it too was foul hooked so I revived it and back in the drink it went. Most of the rest looked foul hooked but 2 or 3 were not. One was big and the hook on the fly I bought at All Seasons broke at the bend. I thought the hook was beefy enough when I bought it but I don't think it was 2x. I'll know for next time.
that was a good one Bob ;)

That aside, lol, thanks guys, he really loves going and hooking up!!! He does it all on his own, I'm doing my own thing and get called, "Dad, I've got one!" and I've got to go put my rod down (it's up on that big down tree in the background rightside ;D ) and help chase down his catch, It's Awesome!!!

Post by: trouts on Oct 11, 2013, 03:45 PM: Just a question, not trying to flame anything or be a trolling troll... Is there anything guys do to the salmon you get in october to make them taste like a fish? When they turn black and spit out roe and eggs? I tried a teaspoon of one once and vomited in my mouth. Or are these just garden fertilizer most dudes are keeping? That is all I've ever done with the half dead salmon I catch is bury them in the field or put them in the girls dorm rooms back in college

Post by: Jimmy on Oct 15, 2013, 02:30 PM: Another epic season of King Salmon, from the sounds and looks of it.

Seems like at least one big and well-known title fight breaks out every year when the salmon show up.

Not exactly "Chamber of Commerce"-type moments, but they get plenty of attention.

Especially when its two chicks, I guess.

Look back a few pages, Dave is holding a 32 or 33lber. Makes yours look like a guppy. BTW yours is a very nice fish, but no way 36lbs. Look back on page 194, you will get a better understanding of size.

Mine measured 39" and weighed 25 lbs. It's hard to tell from the picture unless you are over 6' 4" tall that doesn't look like it's 40+". I saw on another thread a 41 1/2" fish that was 29 lbs. I have to agree with KC and especially compared to the one that Dave was holding.

This one was likely over 40 lbs. Was yours close in size to this one?

Just the fish.......don't want to step on toes. I didn't ask for permission to post so just being considerate. I stopped by on the 6th to have my 1st King cleaned. May be up again in a couple weeks and will stop in to say hello. I believe the Gillrippers are up there now! Hope they are having a blast on the river. I'm going the spontaneous method this year. Not making plans well in advance, except Thanksgiving weekend. Two choices for Friday thru Sunday that weekend....... either going west or SR. Don't know yet but if it's the SR I'll likely be calling Markie for a day afloat in the Northwoods boat!

You're absolutely right snag, as much as it would be a shame... although the DEC pays peanuts for bank easements to private owners, hopefully they will make an offer to the fire department before it goes up for sale...

Funny you mention less litter in Altmar... it kinda makes sense as there is way more pressure in lower/mid river in the mid/late season compared to the past.... all in direct correlation with snagging being fizzled out through the years I'd suppose...

Unfortunately too much trust goes in to the "opinions " expressed on the internet, although I'm not that old I sure am happy to have learned how to fish before the Internet was around. BTW, any friends of mine from altmar are good people and would have my back or give me the shirt off of their's in a heartbeat... I too dislike the stereotypes and generalizations that get thrown around... a bunch of BS if you ask me. Even hear it from some of the lodge owners around the area... my question is this: why reside in an area that you're just gonna bash along with its locals???

Alright enough of my rant :D

Man, when is the DEC gonna do somethigng about this growing problem... seems the past 2/3 years have been a slaughter house down on the lower river for steel... guys tar getting them as if they were salmon fishing... then they're beat up in the upper river when mid November rolls around... something has to happen. Steelhead are too precious to be be meat cleavered...

Post by: ripple on Oct 23, 2013, 03:00 PM: Well it's a put and take fishery so I can't justify the issue with keeping a legal limit of fish but will agree that the methods and over limit issues need be addressed.
It's not just the last 2/3 years its the last 35 from my eyes of fishing there.
Hence the reduction of rainbow trout size & limit.
Good luck finding the answer because I gave up awhile ago and now put the blinders on and just " fish"

Agree with legal limits for sure. Everyone has their right to that.I personally think the trout eat better and keep a few here and there.... ethical fishing for trout should be instilled more so than salmon in my opinion though. Of course nonsense has gone on since the beginning of it. But I honestly have seen much more steelhead slaughtering down low in recent years more so than from when I started in 90... not looking for an answer at all. Just stating my opinion. Sorry for cluttering the thread.

Post by: filetandrelease on Oct 23, 2013, 06:35 PM: WOW what was the limit 35 yrs ago ? I have always been here and what was the limit then and now, I'm not saying bad things don't happen , but I do think the caliber of the fishermen has improved in leaps and bounds hope no one is saying bead fishing is wrong I think 1 steelie a day isn't out of line for a guy driving hundreds of miles to catch and keep a fish is not unreasonable ,and if you think other wise call the tip line if you see someone being naughty

Post by: Dark Cloud on Nov 02, 2013, 06:14 PM: Figured id post this here for you SR Knuckleheads... As many of you know, I build some fishing rods from time to time. Havn't built one since the kids were born as I barely have time to fart. Finally got a 12ft pin rod done for one of my best friends. We have been friends for over 25 years and have shared many memories in the woods and on the water. Hes one of those people that im blessed to know and call a great friend, you wont find a nicer more genuine person!
Built it on a 12ft MHX "centerpin" blank... blank is nice, guess id call it moderate/slow. Enough azz but definatly handle light line...
Handle I turned on my lathe out of a combo of cork, burl cork, rubber cork, and craft foam.

Post by: fishaddict73 on Nov 07, 2013, 02:53 AM: Altmar was a dead zone for all yesterday morn. And like you said, the fishable spots were elbow deep. Hey Shane, I was the guy who sent the guy over to your place with the blue Blazer. Seemed like a cool enough guy. Was wondering if the fish he had you clean was a small female Coho? It was a little dark. BTW Ellis was doing worse than Altmar. Just have to wait and see what Sunday has in store.

USGS installed a new gauge, the north branch of the salmon river, now Brookfield knows whats going into the Reservoir, get used too higher flows in October-November.... Theres also a south branch of equal size, maybe a touch smaller with a story pole, 335 in late fall won't be happening as often anymore.

Kowboy has some really bad cell service for some reason this year in Illinois, he can only get service when he goes to town, he cant txt or post pictures. i have spoken with him and Colleen , I'm his buddy Steve , and all is well with him he had poison oak twice , they couldn't get the corn cut and i am sure he cant wait to get to the river lol

Post by: kc on Dec 05, 2013, 06:18 PM: Went to the river today. Fished 2 hours at the upper trestle hole. Nothing. Didn't see anybody hook up in the trestle hole either.
Went up to the schoolhouse. Ran into Frank's buddy Chris. He had done well early am 2 for 5. We fished together for 2 1/2 hrs before he got another bite. I was honored to be able to net his fish.
I was able to hook up one time after that but lost him. All in all it was a slow day on the river where I was fishing.But a great day to be out there. Last of the good days for awhile I am afraid to say.

Post by: lehigh vally on Dec 24, 2013, 11:35 PM: Talked to Rick on Sunday Wayne, said he was to sick to come out and play so I had ta just wing it with no guide on the south side LOL. The enormous coke works crane that use to live in blazing heat and fire at Bethlehem steel is now the Sands casino eye catching marque. This was only one machine out of hundred's that were cut up for scrap, if you seen it up close you would get a good idea of the scale and complexity of the once giant steel manufacture now reduced to nothing but a huge piece of eye candy...its hard to tell in the shot but the boom is almost a football field long and a few stories high :w00t:

Dave, not even close to that cold. I worked for 35 years construction, inside and out. Now that I am retired I don't need to go out in the cold days. I can be choosey.
But do have a need to get back to the river for steel.
