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...

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…

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

-
Any thoughts on the water change? Not going to warm as much as previously predicted?
-
I heard it was another day today for the skilled bottom bouncers up top....
-
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.

Warmish temp fished low with Chris.

Sorry to hear about your knee Rick hope everything goes well for ya.. well be sure to save you a spot for when you get back on your feet. Conditions last night were too good to pass up and i haven't used the camera since my new years trip. Think i might start shooting a little more at home only problem is most of the best framing for the shots i want are on private propriety ??? when I'm in NY i usually just pull over where ever i see something intresting or walk to it with out any problems...I'm actually surprised i didn't have any company last night where i was shooting :-\

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

sweet pics guys

A big squall missed us yesterday, dumped up to 2 feet just 20 miles south of here, maybe we'll get this one.

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.......
heres a few...

We really enjoy and look forward to your terrific pictures and commentary. Makes us feel like we are up there and participating in the fun. 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???
-
:I stop there on the way home from Cabelas they have great hot sticks if your ever in Hellertown stop off at Saylor's Meats right on main st. across from 7-11 they have 35 different types of sausage and great meats get my meat there for pig stomach, try their scrapple (ask shane) RICK

Would have been me since there's really no ice on anywhere I care to fish down here, But, The brand new 1k plus super dryer my wife bought made it a whole
freakin 1/2 cycle and then sounded like a big block full of sand at 3 grand. Have to wait for Sears to do the warranty stuff, seems the delivery guys bent it according to the service dude that showed up. May be tomorrow, may be Tuesday, ***censored****!
-
Wow , I've never been censored before on this site >:( I feel honored :bowdown:
-
That sucks!! I hate the delivery man :P

Ya i got a personal message from a moderator one night, i was all drunk-ed up saying who knows what :wacko:
-
11.5 here, Mauch Chunk, Tuscarora and Beltzville Ripped open by the wind and warm water temps. Cant win.
Maybe I'll just cook up some Scrapple and drink my self silly. LOL

Smart move, its brutal.. one car in lot, really can't enjoy yourself at these temps, just proving he can do it...
MINUS 23 this morning.... only 5 now.......
-
We hit the low 20's today with a light wind though so it still felt pretty cold, but not that cold, at that temp most of your day is spent clearing ice build up from your eyes and hardy get any real fishing time in ???

Nice pic's, how was it moving around are the trails broke in yet... its ben a while since i had any action...were startin to get the itch for another trip.
Might have to take a ride with the camera again tonight, the Hockey North Catty bridge is closed for demolition, last week they cleared all the trees and brush away from both approaches opening up a view we haven't seen in 20 or 30 years ;D
-
Great pictures Jason...Now the next time I start complaining about access issues and having to hike to get away from people I will be reminded of hiking in wearing snowshoes!!!! kwitchabichon.
-
The trails are beat down pretty good from Pineville and up. If it thaws it will be interesting navigating the lower end. Yeah it's void of anglers except the LFZ Drift Boat launch.
-
Nice Jason, I used to fish the Squalls, now I ice fish instead... GOOD TIMES!!!!! :thumbup_smilie:
Had a little break in the weather yesterday, only MINUS 04 with high that cracked the teens, back to MINUS 13 this moring....
-
Yeah that's cold for sure!
-
Couldn't get to where i wanted to shoot from on the Hockey bridge, no road to walk on, should have taken it earlier this week I did get one usuable pic...I also took a couple more shots of the bridge i was shooting last week, thought we could do better from the other side, the moon was lower for me tonight but i was shooting with the light insted of into it, and one of the Lafarge cement plant

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...

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.

That weather forcast cant be good news for keeping the ice in good fishable condition :-\

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.
-
Great fish.. I just met Lou this past Saturday Ice fishing in NJ.. He got a 39" ski that day. Small world.
-
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,
kc
-
I've done that myself Kc, man I always feel really bad when I do it...
-
Fish creek just rose 600cfs in one hour, Tug hill's letting loose, 3000cfs now... highest level since 2011.....

Great story KC looks like you guise are the last to fish the river for a while till we see lower fishable levels

Hey guys sorry I have been busy and so has Chris!!!!! Enjoy!!

The Nikon D-7000 has a tun of pro features on the shooting end, but it also has a few in camera picture altering programs, I think this one is pretty cool. It turns you pic into a colored sketch,

Nice pics.

Thank's KC...Ya once in a while we get a few worth looking at ;D

Rob, I have no idea what you do for a living nor am I a photography critic but I know that your pictures are outstanding. I really enjoy seeing them on this site a look forward to them. In my humble estimation if you are not a professional photographer you missed your calling. Please keep your beautiful pictures coming. Thank You

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!!!
-
Awesome pics man
-
Hey Rob dont have to tell you how great your pics are cause there always awesome great pics of DARKTOWN bridge had a big article in morning call about it this past weekend remember when the flood wiped out the dam years ago?? great trout fishing right below there where the hokey creek flows into the river caught quite a few nice ones there!!! RICK
-
Minus 03 this morning, picked up another 8 inches of snow yesterday. 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.

Nice to see that Brookfield is dropping the water slowly. It should keep most of the fish from getting stranded in the shallower back channels. hope to get up there soon. I need a fix BAD!-Paul

-
Just went up to $3.97 here.... >:( >:(
-
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 :-\

-
are you doing this with a single exposure or HDR?
-
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
-
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.
-
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 ;)

Got to fish next to Chris this weekend and man did he give me a beating! On the flip side, he was one of the most enjoyable guys I have ever fished next to. You can tell he loves fishing and has a great time doing it, what a pleasure! Thanks for all of your tips and advice, you are truly a gentleman Chris and I will be your net man and camera man anytime!
Shane thanks again for the hospitlity. How the Hell do I pick up a gallon of milk and then neither of us grab a glass of it for the birthday eclairs?

The kicking was worth the bruised ego because of how much I learned from him Another one of his buddies was there too and he was helpful too. Basically a great day spent with strangers! Oh yeah, the 40 degree windless and sunny day wasn't to bad either.

Fished for about an hour tonight,went 2 for 0, feel in pretty rusty after 6 weeks off..got out with the camera for a while. The wind picked up just after I went out, not good when your shooting long exp. The pic,s don't look as sharp...only seen one fish landed by Dan-Bo's buddy, colder temps for tomarrow and light lake affect not looking prommissing :-\

Fishing was much better yesterday most people reported having some action...bright sun early on helped warm things up a bit with temps holding in the 20's all day and a light wind the sun's rays were feeling pretty good. -10 this morning so no ones making a mad dash for the river just yet. Crisp and clear over night with a quarter moon out and no wind so we took a walk with the camera, got a nice pic of John Neff with a fresh female from sat after noon If you want to see more pic's from the weekend check out my photo bucket acc http://s764.photobucket.com/albums/xx283/robdavis22/ (http://s764.photobucket.com/albums/xx283/robdavis22/)

There will be people on the river!Take a walk if there's fish people will find em!
-
How do they normally bite in weather like tomorrow?
-
Altmar was loaded with guys yesterday...cant imagine what it looks like today :P
mbrown, they can be quite lothargic this time of year...with the warm weather two days in a row they could turn on...especially with the water drop. Ravens advice should help
-
Think about going up soon maybe do some steelie fishing and maybe find a little ice. Rob you going up any time soon.

Pulled in to Altmar early this afternoon, with the crew out on Oneida the house was empty so we took a ride around town real over cast and dull out today not the best light for picture taking but we took a few any way

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!
-
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

700 a night where are you staying the Baltimore estate :wacko:
-
Haha, sarcasm, but you would think that's what it cost...
Hoping the water levels drop this weekend or next, I guess I'm just gonna watch it and play it by ear. Ill be throwing nymphs with a regular fly setup. Anyone use this setup ?
-
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.

Erny way to make my mouth water... awesome shots... is that a hardy marquis reel in those pictures?
-
sure is. picked her up at the tail end of last season. It's a beaut'. Even if it was made in korea.... ;)
-
Gotta love the hum of a hardy when a fish is running... did you see many winter cohoes on your outtings this year?
-
Actually no. First year in a while that I haven't now that you mention it. Usually see a few of them cruising some back channels or get a couple out of the blue type grabs from some late runners in a deep pocket.

I'll second Altmar Outfitters Lodge

Ernye,
Not very many people use floating line with their fly rods that have seen down there. Are you just throwing flies like you would normally? Or using floats?
-
Love the pics LV they look great adifferent twist. Now that the ice is getting iffy around the cracks its time for me and gf to make the trip up to the river for the first time this weekend, cant wait have been chomping at the bit to get up there. Anyone else going to be around this weekend?
-
Ernye,

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

I agree. I throw just flies. Fish about identical to how I would fish regular trout in the same water conditions

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.

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

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.
-
Fish creek, the only fish creek i know is on the eastern shore of Oneida. If you were up north where is this creek you were fishing??
-
Fish Creek, you know, the one with the fish in it! hahah Upon closer look at the map I believe it was Trout brook. :tipup:

now your talking my language, i might not know all the good spots up north but i do know the water ways ;D
-
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....

How has the fishing been this week?
What do you veterans think the next few weeks will bring in terms of water flows etc?! I see they are planning on keeping it at 900 cfs until march 20th.
-
Yeah nice ties erny...hey, what are you using for the trailers on your streamers and large wets? Is that 60 lb. Test or something like that?

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.

12lb maxima.

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.

Not much Larry just hanging out drinking a few Rum & cokes watching the NASCAR race from Bristol...i might not be into racing like i was years ago watching every race, but we still like watching the best races and Bristol is one of um...the fall run is at night much more dramatic and exciting. 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

No nightfisher specials Rob?lol, good day to relax, Shane, be up Easter weekend for another bumper boat trip with Mark, see ya then ;)

Bristol has always been my favorite race to watch!! The good 'ol days of the 2 car and 3 car mixing it up was great!! Not that I was a huge Rusty Wallace fan or anything.. ::)..I have been to the Glen twice...hope someday to make it to the Bristol night race....better buy tickets now, for 2018 race! LOL! Maybe share some water with you soon. I have missed the river!--KP 8)

I bet if you call Bristol rite now you could get something for the sep night race. I haven't seen a sold out race on TV in years, they sell advertising space over the seats they don't sell any more to recoup some of the loss...Ive bean to 38 Nascar races starting in the spring of 93 till the spring of 2006 .Just don't get the same buzz being at the track that we use to get in the old days... Not that it wasn't fun...just to commercialized and blown up from what it was and where it came from, then that fateful day in Daytona a few years back slamming the racing camunity with an impact equal to or grater than the hit Earnheart took that Sunday afternoon forever changing the course of Nascar in my mind. It hasn't bean the same since that day and it never will be the same with out um...RIP Dale we all miss you

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.

In the old days for some reason they use to burn any thing and everthing at Pocono till that one Summer night a group of people started flipping cars over and then they started in on all the portipoties, after a while they had a number of people watching and following them, huge fights were breaking out, possable stabbing or the guy fell on his own knife all drunk ed up don't think they ever figured it out and the burning of most of what they could get a hold of just didn't make any sense to me at all...since then no over night parking in the infield at Pocono :whistling: :whistling: :whistling:

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. I got to get over and see him ..and pick up a few more of his jiggibg rods!!
-
I forgot to mention..I'm with King Perch...I would like to get to a race at Bristol someday too. Great action...door to door, bumper to bumper, cursing , cutting off , 2 wide , 3 wide.....like salmon season in pulaski !!
-
Oh ya at one time i had 20 renewable seats in my name for Dover, once you have um there yours for life if you want um...Bristol, Richmond, Dover, Dayton , Talladega, Darlington, Martinesville for years if you didn't know some one with extra tickets your only choice was to put your name in a lottery at the track office, if they happen to call you with an extra ticket it was take it or leave it, your other option was dealing with the scalpers and there's usually plenty too go round at a Nascar race, blood suckers...who said that!! where you will end up paying 3 or 4 or may be 5 X face value for good seats. 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.
-
Yup, ticket sales are way off. We used to have July and September tickets at New Hampshire. We never missed a race. 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!

You've got that right!

Love the night races ;)

Anyone remember the "Bog" at the Glen? Any out of towners parked near it, once the sun went down locals would roll your car down into it, my uncle told me some great stories from the 70's of bus's set on fire, it was a crazy place, like unidilla track for motocross, crazy stories there too, til ESPN started coming and the police cleaned the places up.

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.

I hear ya Hunt.....I still can't look at the pictures or watch any video of it,,...the image ,still in my mind, of Jr. running down the track towards his dads wrecked car is tough to handle too.

Great pics from years gone LV!! MGD was tipped back a time or two in my neck of the woods when Rusty was running! Wonder if I can find a sixer of that somewhere??? ;D Good times!
-
Thanks KP, MGD still around not sure why I'm not drinking it any more, i usually get regular Miller High Life
-
Is there any steelhead in the river?? ;D Going back for a moment....Rob, my late best friend, died when he was 19 in a car accident, was a NUT over the Miller high life. Can't quite figure out why I drank it really.....I tried a bottle last year for old times sake and, well.....I didn't finish it. ;D--KP 8)
RIP Rusty! 8)
(not Wallace...)

should be plenty of steelhead up river. dropping back probably late march/early april.

Unidilla!!! It's been 38 years since I've been there! There was a smaller track over in Otego called Morley's that we use to go to.

Actually worked over that way about 18 years ago but Morley's was gone by then. There was a track up at Mexico also.

I went up there for the salmon run this year and was hooked. Went down 2 weeks ago for steelies hooked up twice never landed one so im gonna give it another try think the water level will stay at 900 I see it changes Friday and im headed down on Sat.
-
The water should stay in that 750-900 range, but if it dropped too 500, it wouldn't suprise me, its been cold and snowy for quite awhile now, res. has too be pretty drawn down by now..picked up another 5 inches of snow yesterday and looks like another 5 inches last night... Fishin has been just average lately with the cold, I bet by mid next week it starts picking up....

no need to re-size we worked it out if no one is complaining about it theres no need to re size
nice pic's

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.
-
Thanks for the help Pineville is where I'll start the morning!
-
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...

We picked up another 5 inches of snow today on top of yesterdays 5 inches...
but Tug hill just 15 miles northeast of here did 30 inches in the last 2 days...
Good snowpack still building for spring.
(https://www.myfishfinder.com/fishing_forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi647.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fuu200%2Fsnagger69%2F549877_510754862320496_338698423_n_zps0f530c96.jpg&hash=6adfd66c8bc9f750d344691dc73768df)
-
Ok ,its spring ;D
-
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!!
-
cool shot Shane...anyone we know or just a shot of some kids on a roof some ware on Tug hill
-
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.

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
-
P.s. last year was my 5th year goin up for salmon with my gramps n uncles n brother and in four years I only hooked into n landed a few.....last Sept I hooked landed n released too many to count and in 15 years of going up there my uncle said it was the most intense runs he ever seen. 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 !!!

Been a long winter
That it has been... just imagine if we didnt have those few fluke warm ups/thaws
Simplecarpy, nice shots... nothing better than a kid getting in to fish... she looks like shes hooked for life!

Its baby steps with her but, She never says no and is willing to learn.. Thats all I need. Its so cool bring her up to the River, All the guys get a real kick out of her when she goes. Always a show when she lands a fish. A lot of good jobs and hooting for her.. ;D

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 never fished the dam till after its destruction...i remember fish in up there one evening in the summer years ago just took a cast and went to kneel down on the edge of the dam when i was stung in the upper lip by a huge wasp, with in minuets my face started to swell, by that night my eye was almost swollen shut but only on one side of my face. You should have seen the looks i was getting when i stooped in at my family Dr office to get a shot...i looked like elephant man :rotflol:

Whats Pa asking now 45 or 50$ for a resident fishing licence for most people to go out on the first day or few weeks and catch 5 trout 7" long...in NY you could be arrested for put in a 7" trout on a strainer :w00t: i just don't see any value or purpose for me to get one :P

I think its 35 bucks with the trout stamp, I'll head north for the first week of trout, rather catch one steelie instead of a bunch of pellet heads.
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.

Hey everyone do you know how the lower flows has affected the fishing?!? I see they dropped it to 500cfs. Do you think it will go lower? Does this mean it will kickstart the dropbacks?

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.

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....

Thank you

Hope everyone is ready for drop back season. It's right around the corner. The days of solitude and a couple fish on the river will be replaced with crowds of people and a ton of fish. Get ready.

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.
-
You got that rite Wayne, besides knowing the proper techniques learning how to read water is going to pay off big time for anyone fishing the Salmon River or any creek or river you might fish, it really is a key part of the hole package.

I was up there this week and couldn't believe the blatant snagging going on above the bridge!
Btw, thanks for the updates snagger, had slow fishing this week can't wait for dropbacks. Keep us posted about when the dropbacks start!
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....
-
Nice job Ernie :clapping:

Nice looking fly. So it sounds like the fishing has been kind of slow? I'm thinking about heading up this Wednesday

Nice tie and fish!

My first day back on the SR , since sometime in december.It felt really good. I fished from noon 'til evening ...and was not treated kindly fishwise. 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. Good luck to all.

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.......

My lodger and good Friend Glen has been plugging away in the wind and cold zipping them pretty good with floats and beads the last few days, I've been inspecting my lodgers catches in the last 3 days and all fish have been non drop backs.... nice group of fish in the River.

Made my first appearance on the Salmon River since before Christmas... 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!!!

Hearing BINGO eco down the river had us all in stiches bro :rotflol: I sucked yesterday and missed 5 bobber downs that Adam gave me a ton of poop for , and he kicked the one I did land back in the river before I could get a pic :nono: Good to feel the pull again ain't it bro :flex: :flex: :thumbup_smilie:

Nice seeing you and Adam yesterday Ed, and choo choo and deadeyes too, man was it cold out, iced up guides .. cold hands, like wintertime, looks a lot nicer out today, I see 60's coming next week, got a good week long bite coming I bet, maybe if were lucky we won't get much rain this month and the River stays below 1200 most days, could be an epic April" float bite..Gonna half too play the weekend crowds and boat traffic, but with water and fish in the cricks too, maybe the crowds will be spread out some....

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...

Much less aches and pains after a long river shift.Hey kowboy, i heard you really got into them thursday...good job.

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

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

You got a ton of places to practice down home buddy, no excuses, lol...
I cant bring myself to use the pin on those trout down there though - "so easy a caveman can do it". But head down river in the summer and play with the smallies, or eyes, shad are fun on the pin also... 8)

I stopped at constantia on my way up to sr yesterday...unbelievable to see those walleyes. Cool place. Ran into adam with his adorable little 2 year old, who tried to take a mud puppy home for a pet...too cute for words that little guy. Then hit the river in the afternoon and went 2 for 5 on steelies with the pin !!Starting to feel a little more comfortable with it. Went back this morning down river a bit and man she was a crankin' as shane predicted to me last evening. I had to find different water and landed a real nice one ...don't know how..with the current and only one spot for beaching. Then lost one later and that was it for my morning. Here are some pic.

Glad to see you got into them in the big water! :thumbup_smilie:

You got a ton of places to practice down home buddy, no excuses, lol...
I cant bring myself to use the pin on those trout down there though - "so easy a caveman can do it". But head down river in the summer and play with the smallies, or eyes, shad are fun on the pin also... 8)
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!
-
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.

Looks like a pretty good high water event in the works.... Fish creek 2300 and still rising steadily, River will follow shortly, I wouldn't be at all surprised if it hits 5000cfs by Friday.
-
Picked up a half inch of rain last night.. Redfield reservoir gained 2 feet since yesterday putting it at 8 feet of room.. 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.

Do you think the SR will be fishable at this weekend?

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.

Just had one of the weirdest storms I ever seen. thunder and lightening for 45 minutes straight, heavy rain ,quarter size hail, and now calm as a baby sleeping weird man brought back memories of many moons ago when I was young and dumb( if you guys my age know what I mean) sorry that the river is blown out for all you guys plannin a trip up there keep fingers crossed it will get better Shane will put a spell on the weather for you LOL RICK
-
Pretty much the only fishable water right now for bank guys (not driftboats) is barrel, tail of school, wire run and below Altmar bridge, most other waters are covered up by too much current, oh the diversions would be another option, good high water spot.. the big sandies are blown out, but orwell and the other smaller tribs are prime right now.

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.

Drove up to the Tug hill yesterday, still a descent snowpack.

Ton of guys up here, most look lost... :D

Thought it looked like the River dropped a touch, looks like its about at that 1650cfs level again, this opens up a few more places for the bank anglers, not a lot, but some.... should make the driftboaters very happy........ still over 2000cfs with runoff...

Thanks KP.....I'm hooked on using it... I won't let you look to bad, believe me... it ain't pretty a lot of the time...thrashing the water ..winding line onto the reel handles...but it is starting to feel a little better each time out...good luck with your cp.

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...

Good man indeed shane... heard the bad news yesterday...was fortunate enough to get to know him a bit myself just this past year... was in his shop when the lights went out this past fall... it wasnt a worry at all. The kerosene light got fired up and the cold ones kept cracking... good times and good stories indeed
sorry for yours and everyone elses loss...
-
Sorry buddy know how it is to lose good friends lost quite a bit myself in years BE IN PEACE BIG DON RICK
-
I got to meet Big Don last year when fishing in Altmar....very funny guy indeed! Shane, we've all been there bud, prayers to Big Don, his family and friends! RIP Big Don!! :angel:--KP 8)
-
This is a big loss for all who knew him. Truly a good man. R.I.P.
-
good friends are like family!!! sad day indeed for the family and his close friends
-
Sorry for your loss Snagg...
-
Sorry for your loss Shane.
-
I only ran into Don a handful of times, Very cool Dude ! Sorry for your loss Shane.
-
Sorry for all that knew him abviously by the posts he was aman with many friends and will be missed by everyone that knew him. Choo great job on the cp and fish, and the pictures. KP i took your advice and went fishing today and it was just what i needed as the river was quite with the exception of alot of boats. 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. KC hurrry up and get back as its aBINGO kinda time on the sr
-
won't be home till this weekend. Then I have to finish one job and I will be up. Will let you know when.
kc
-
Sorry Shane about big Don..
Love the old Pictures!!
-
Snagger, Nice pictures and sounds like a lot of fond memories...
-
...Hang in there Shane. Keep those memories and he'll always be with you.
-
sorry to hear about your freind Shane :-\
-
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.
-
Sorry about your friend Shane, those picts are great!
-
Sorry to hear about Big Don. Got to meet him last fall at Shanes house. RIP Don
-
Best way you can honor him is do what you love bro , true friends are rare and losing one is tough . Truly sorry Shane .

Finished the day off up the street, landed 2 for 3 running a silver hot shot with my center pin.... Great day bank plugging with the Cp, broke double digets...

Man , that sounds fun !
-
Thanks for thoughts and prayers for Big Don's family, he was a good man... 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...

That looks like a blast Snagger! CP back trolling and bank plugging and crankin' on foot with CPin ! Nice long reach and No oars needed ! Looks like a good way to aggravate or "wake" them up when they are off the feed, or in a funk too. I 've got to see you do this live with the cp...I need a bigger hook, bead , shot, swivel,fly box now ! Cool stuff snag.

Why are they doing this Shane ? In the daylight hours especially makes no sense...
-
I just called a couple tackle shops to let them know to warn any of their guy's on the river...maybe that warm night and wind got a lot of snowmelt and run off coming down from up above one said to me.
-

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.

This actually sets a president, if no gets killed today from shifting trees floating down the River, Brookfield will now feel its ok too not manage water properly and just let the gates fly whenever they get around too looking at their data.

freakin 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.

Thanks for the updates and pics Shane...hope no new log jams are created which might divert the water flow where it could cause flooding and washout problems , in areas it where doesn't normally go.

Nice video LV, thanks for putting it together!

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.

Shane, it looks like something is coming in off the lake. Lets hope it goes north. 70 degree rain could be really bad at this point. Hope all are safe!!!
-
I guess killing 2 guys in Oswego wasn't enough to smarten them up.
-
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 ???

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.
Shane, let me know in advance ...if, you think your going to be in trouble...I'll do whatever we need to do to Help Bud!!--KP 8)

Spot on post KP!!!!! Ditto if there's anything you need Shane, just let me know.

give me a shout Shane if you need anything , KP I don't think it is ignorance , it's arrogance , could have slowly released water days ago DUH , bad case of head up , Shane is the guy running the show Richard Cranium ? maybe the post should get a call

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.
-
any pictures of the river from the evening? Is the water still rising? Frickin unbelievable they would let it get to this!

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.

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.
-
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...

Man that sucks! What a DB and Brookfield should be fined by the state for negligence. And I'm not talking a small fine. There needs to be some accountability on their part. Plus Dugan should be fired!!

Terrible management. Somebody should be fired. Can you imagine what would have happened if we had a major rain event last week. You would think that with all of the college degrees that they have on the payroll that somebody would know that snow melts when it gets warm.

time for an attorney and lay a lawsuit on them ,shouldn't be hard to prove at this point , it is definitely negligence, and give the Post Standard a call and let them do a little investigative reporting , nothing like making someone or a company famous they just love that

Sorry to see this happen again Shane !.. Ill be up next weekend gloves in hand ready to wheel stone around

thanks everyone for your concern, just some minor stuff too do, nothing major this time, they got lucky we didn't get a lot of rain last night.

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.
-
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.

well i dare say we lost the rest of our fall back fishing >:(

Oh no we didn't, they just moved too the edges, all the fish I seen today on the edges were tight chromers. and I seen a lot..
-
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.

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 .
-
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.
kc
-
KC is correct...'Ol Kowboy came to town one morning to fish with me...I rigged him up, went to get my rod and, 30 seconds later...FISH ON KP!! :o First drift!! 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. You never lost a beat Bryan.... ;) I'm glad you got to learn and fish the river Bud!! ;)--KP 8)
How's the town of Altmar doing after the flood?? :-\
-
Fenwick been wondering where youve been these past few yrs, glad to see you back on again, will be nice to fish with you again as soon as the river comes down. Colleen has gotten into the fishing as well since you last saw us and shes gotten really good. Ill drop u apm as soon as i know when were going up, and i cant wait as everyday the rivers been up ive been painting, then decided to put new floor and toilet in, dam it started just the bathroom door and has turned into new dinning room and bathroom lol. Shane hopoe all is going well there at the house you know if you need me ill b there with whatever i can do. Dam need to get to river before ive got anew house lol

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.

wow black flies and hot fish in what a combo, brake out the dryer sheets :rotflol:

I have not been back there since I whacked that bow. Worth a shot, my mom hasnt seen anyone fishing down there on her morning walks. Although she is 83, and I dont think she wears her glasses when she walks. ::) Got a quick pass today so I ran up to the river. Man, these black flies suck!!!!!!!!!
-
I had swollen forarms for 3 days after a weekend of fish in with the black flies last season, i hate when they get behind your glasses and in your eyes, seems like you spend more time keep in um off you then concentrating on your fish in. ??? ???

i have caught alot of fish... but id have to say a wild bow out of the Delly in the upper teens on a 5wt fly rod takes the cake. ;D

Whether its a brown or rainbow, any high teens trout out of the big d is a trophy... nice job choo choo

Thanks kowboy...glad you got into some steel...and good luck with the gobblers. I noticed they have gotten real quiet down my way,but i have been seeing them...they're just not sounding off all day like they had been. Get a big spurred xtra long beard...andI hope to see you ,KC, and the guy's on the river soon...good luck.
-
Thinking of heading upmsomepoint next week, will there still be fish in the river for a week or two?
-
We lost quite a few with this extended high water, but should be fishable numbers for a week anyways, Lower waters should help pool them up, if the nights stay reasonably cool maybe 2 weeks in select areas.., the droppies will head for the bigger pools to gorge on baby salmon and stocked steelhead....
-
I've fished almost every day in the last week, droppies still are quite weak, just started jumping a little in last few warm days, hopefully they will get that silver look back to them next week after eating some more food.
-
Thanks snagger, I'm gonna make a run up on Tuesday so hopefully I can run into a couple
-
they be pooled up tomorrow 285
-
Colleen has decided to she wants one last crack at some more steelhead so heading to river tomarroiw instead of chasing the thunder chickens, will do that with her on sunday. Hope to c some of you there if you didnt stay up to late to fish the waldos

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

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
Panstarrs:

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 ;)

Hey Shane is there enough fish left in the river to make it worth my while? Starting to get swamped with work. This retirement thing doesn't seem to be working out right.

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
-
Nice meeting ya hookembob, No never did make it down...went over to Jim's sat afternoon to drop off some pics and ended up catching a good buzz, I don't mix fishing with alcohol any more I'm not saying i don't drink around the river i just don't drink and fish at the same time...its one or the other

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

Yeah he wanted too beat on some steel before the lotac tree planters clogged all the pools up, he was on a tear he got the last 5 steelhead un contested, beat me down hard at the end... River changed a lot since the high water, I lost 2 rigs and snapped off 14 times on snags in this one run, weds. never lost a bead. a lot of downtime....

Hey everyone, Any steelhead left in the river?

:whistling: :whistling: :whistling:

Hey everyone. Im in the market for a steelhead spinning noodle rod outfit. Anyone around that area that has one for sale? please pm me. I wanna get it set up and ready for steelhead in november. please pm me if anyone has a spare
-
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...

Listen, snagger is right about the internet, spots being blown up and all that. 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 ;)

WOW who s--t in your wheaties?????
-
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!

Naw I just think its ridiculous how secretive people get about a well known, highly documented stream. Phillies are an awsome baseball team by the way. Hows the season going for ya ? You a Eagles fan to ? I eat Philly fans for breakfast not wheaties!!! ;D

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 ;)

HATERS GONNA HATE :w00t:
-
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.....
-
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.
-
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.
kc
-
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...
-
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'.

hey CTFishBum, like snag said "if the site is not for you...move on", better yet stay in CT !
Can you say "blacklist"! :whistling:
-
Can you say ignorant? Black list this bubba! Lol ! You guys are great fun seriously. I'm just glad I found a site that I can stay up to date on whatever is happening with the SR. Then as soon as you post about the fishing being hot, I'm there with all my buddies. See you on the river !
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'

END OF STORY. that's is how we learned the river over the years. and that is why a bunch of us catch fish on a continuous basis ::) ::) salmon and steelhead taste like crap by the way ;D

Me and a bunch of friends are coming up june22 to kayak the river could you direct me to the best place for us to camp that doesn't mind a bunch of drunken rednecks
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

Way to go DC... start him young and you'll be shocked how he'll learn. 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!!!

Decided not to head north this weekend....seems to be the consenses all around with the freakish weather this week I'm not sure what season it is any more :wacko: had a steady wind all day in the valley gusting to 25 or more at times, with a full moon tonight and a partly cloudy sky i thought we would try and get a few shots in between gusts....i got a quick one in before dusk with the 873 bridge in day light, and one of the moon just about to rise over the bridge at 9 rite on time, The Thomas Iron Works ruins photographed nicely under full moon light ill be seeing them again soon, thought i was seeing things but no there actually was some kids partying in the same building we use to hang out in 30 years ago, we called it the Alamo, they still haven't dropped the Hockey bridge but there working on everthing else around it, the 85 year old structure still looks pretty good under moon light...wonder what the new bridge will look like ;)

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:

Looks like you lost your rocks Rob....was just BSing with a buddy at the Bridge, looks like those developers bought that Victorian house on the River, tried to buy another one, and probably will lock up the last cast lodge, if they get that house, they'll own from the wires to the bridge in Altmar. They tried too buy the parking lot in front of melindas, but was out bid.

Thanks Kevin and KP....I just woke up from an afternoon nap, logged on to MFF first thing i read is a post from Shane telling me we might be loosing more realistate on the river witch just happens to be one of my favorite winter spots...i didn't set out to bash the rich but once i started writing it just came out ::)

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. :-\

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...

Nice shot. Looks like Northern Lights to me too. Saw them once a long time ago while camping up at Alex Bay. The sky was lit up for about 30 minutes. It's been around 37 years and I'm still waiting to see them again.

Ya I seen that when I got home Sunday, never really followed him like you do but I know he was one of the top storm chasers, and highly respected photographer... If I die before I get old I want to go doing what I love like he did, not in some car accident or a work related incident, lets go out with a bang :w00t: :rotflol: :rotflol:

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.

Seems like the internet is ruining everything these days :-\
Choo choo, gotta ask ya... off topic, but been meaning to for a while. Being fromthe area youre from, is it true about the delaware rainbows with the train braking down and the railroad workers bucketing them down to the river???? Ive heard that story since i was like six years old.... always wondered

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!

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

thought the river was pumping pretty good earlier.

looks like your going to get a good soaking from the rain were getting tomorrow too

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.

Snag...I just read on NBC news that a top Oklahoma TV meteorologist is being hammered for "irresponsible" broadcasting. 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.

Didn't hear anything about that Choo Choo sure was a dumb call for any one to make on live tv. Most people in the south west are pretty storm savvy you would almost think they wouldn't listen to him because they know its the wrong thing to do...under ground is where you want to be if you can make it there :w00t:

I have caught brookies 2 diff times below your place shortly after they stocked the creek. Back when they put thousands instead of a few hundred in that creek my grandfather caught palaminos in the main river all the way in the rift down around the bend from Bushyville....

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.
-
River got raised too 2100cfs... was it justified?, hard too tell, fish creek or sandy gauges aren't ripping...seen on computer estimates that the Tug hill didn't get the pounding we got in Altmar, there was some sort of downsloping just east of here drying up the rain...this is the new guys first run at raising the River since Dugan lost his job after the April debacle. Buckle up, could be interesting next year or two having another new guy run our watershed via computer from 4 hrs away,.......
Tug might of missed out earlier, but its sure getting hammered now. Labor day release this year, ?? wouldn't that be nice.. we'll see how the summer shakes out..

I hope the new guy up there does a better job of crunching the numbers..and looking at the forecasts Snag. I saw on a site where they posted the summer whitewater raft release dates for 3 week ends on the salmon river in july and early august.

Hopefully we have better rafting water than we had the past 2 seasons. My family takes the trip down every year...good times!!
Also, helps to find new fishing holes on the drift down river! ;D--KP 8)

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.
-
I talk with and or follow weather guys on facebook every day, the roads are absolutely clogged with thrill seekers, can't blame them really, but now they have to adjust their escape routes accordingly.. no different then my steelhead fishing, for 30 yrs I just fished where I wanted, now I have to burn gas and do drive byes to figure out my fishing routes for the day, mobile internet has changed things. its more about understanding fishermans habits then the steelheads.
-
Well the new guy matched the inflow, about 2200cfs going into the Res. The tropical storm is forecasted to miss us, hard drop should be coming....had 2 gauges out yesterday, it was windy.. one read 1.94 and 2.25... good shot of rain for june, normally it wouldn't have done much, but we've had 4 pus inches in last 2 weeks from thunderstorms.

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 ?
-
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...

Thanks DC pickleball is't played here ,but i played lots of tennis untill my back gave out on me ! Sounds like a fun game !

Where ya at? You'd be surprised how much it is played. Nobody around here ever heard of it and its being played about 5 times a week in leagues and mostly open play pick-up games - our local boys and girls club, ymcas, town courts and parks, middle schools, ect...

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.

No! I had to much going on. I just finished up playing in an open tourney in my area. Finished tied for second in my age group 65 and over.

ok you too!
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!
-
FG- I was out there Sat night till 4 AM when it shut down. Ended up with 3 largemouth, 4 hybrid, and 3 walleye. Zara spooks, walking sammys, and pop r. It was alittle too calm early, but when the wind kicked up they seemed to be able to zero in on my baits better.

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.
-
Thanks for the invite, but my schedule is pretty tight this summer.... Even though there keyed in on alewives, don't be afraid to slow retrieve a #12 husky jerk, pause and rip it to make it rattle or slow retrieve it with a rip pause once in a while...... sandy ponds the same way, top water bass, spook is king, go to Oneida, very little on a spook..
-
You had a good nite, I'd say.
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.

that's thinking outside the box, cool man...

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.

Cool idea. I have one I smashed into a wall last year. Snapped the bill clean off. I will give that a try this year ;)

Picked up another 1.4 inches of Rain, this after last weeks 2.1 inches....Fish creeks gauge breaks 1700cfs again for second time in a week,,, Salmon seasons looking better and better all the Time.

Gfs model and euro models showing big rains thursday in southern Ny, gonna be a close call.
Rivers going back up/.....
Until 9:00 PM today, 335 CFS
From 9:00 PM today until 11:59 PM tomorrow, Wed, 750 CFS

Way back I use to tinker with floating rapalas - drill holes and insert splitshot, then seal em with epoxy. There were no "longer casing" or "suspending" stickbaits and I got a few to cast and retrieve real well.
Also would trim the bills nearly off some to get them to wobble but stay on the surface... :thumbup_smilie:
-
here comes the motherload, gonna be a close call...The computers are trying to predict thunderstorms now, if this rain doesn't pan out, they'll loose alot of creditbility for the future. fish creek still above 1300cfs, inflow to res, is still triple the outflow as of this morning.

Took a ride up to the Redfield Reservoir... 16 inches of room.... inflow still greater than outflow going into a posible big storm, hope there paying attention, I'm not gonna criticise, they been running the water well in the last 2 weeks..... but they better be ready to dump water if it looks imminent.

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.
-
As usual, rain that was modeled south has now moved way north in actuality. Getting slammed again in CNY, probably get another 2" at least. Hasn't been this wet since 2010.

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 ;)

Hey there duffy...getting caught up on reading some threads...Bill had to re-schedule the hip replacement from june to july. He said there was a problem with paperwork and insurance coverage due to these new medical plans...But his DR. did promise him that he will still have enough time to be healed up in time for september salmon and oct. steelies !!!
Good to hear steve, mine is scheduled for Aug 15th,hope to be on the river for salmon then ice season.

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?

Hey duff! How you been?

If the water keeps up and stays cool... August run of Kings.. My 2 cents.. ;D

Late....
-
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.

I can remember in the 80's after a good run of water for the tube races we got some nice kings but far as big runs it was the month of september use to be pretty hot

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.

I agree with you. No run like sept 11th like last season. there should be a few for local boys to play with in aug B4 the river gets crazy lol.. ;D

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 ???

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!)
-
my rule of thumb don't sit on mud monsters , only fish for biters sometimes it's a waste waiting for fish to become active , but that's the way i fish for perch and eyes ,especially through the ice , but I only do the daytime thing
-
The fog never did clear out last night so we made the best of it,. Got a few shots from Oneida tonight and one from yesterday afternoon

Rob, cnr1day,snag,simplecarpie, and everyone...i would like to hear your opinions on a user friendly DSLR camera for out door nature shots and landscape etc for someone new to the game. It seems that Canon or Nikon are the top choices...but which models?
-
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

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.

Thanks for the salmon tip Snag....I might have to make a run up before the week end if the winds are OK. I was thinking about trailering way west this week end....but maybe I can find a few on the east end. ;) ;)

Drifter...thats what I'm talking about...nice pictures!!

Nice pics drifter! 8)

Thanks y'all. ;D
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. :-\

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

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
-
How did you get a 75 second shot with out the stars going from pinpoints to lines?
-
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 :-\

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.

Good Astro photography info here.

Forgot to mention that to capture the really faint stuff an equatorial tracking mount is needed.
Not my pic but a good sample. This is 14 three minute long stacked images shot with a Rebel t4i. ;)

Cnr....absolutely beautiful night shots. That space station pic with your wife is really amazing.

I didn't really find anything to shoot last night in town except for some construction going on around Kemit's Lock near Allentown. In center city A town there building an Ice arena for triple A Hokey, I really wanted to shoot the construction site but the best side to shoot from was unusually busy with unfriendlys and I was alone so I didn't attempt to stop, I locked my door instead and kept moving :pinch:

Tug hill dodged a bullet, drove up last night, res. was on the boards, they were dumping 2000cfs yesterday, and increased it too 3000cfs last night in preparation of the storm, record flooding is occurring as we speak just 30-50 miles east and southeast of the hill, salmon river was spared this go around. only .65 in my gauge.
a little too the east.

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.

some greens on the radar came over us and dropped almost a half inch, can't imagine getting some yellows and these clowns at the power company got the river shut off, i'm doomed, eventually one of storms will hit us.
-
They just closed all traffic for Frankfort, Ilion and Mohawk... I have a new 1 1/2" of rain in my gauge..
And that's since 4pm....
-
That's horrible Dom, I feel so bad for the people getting flooded, such a helpless feeling......

Yes Eddie!! They did that lampriciding when the walleye were spawning. :-\
-
That sucks >:(
-
yep the same group that killed all the walleyes in little sandy creek. wiped out most of the walleyes in sandy pond :(
-
Fish Creek? Anyone ever seen one in Oneida or one of its tributaries?
-
Well here is my question, it killed of a ton of spawning walleyes so now the wait until they are done spawning so wouldn't it be more lethal to the eggs or the fry in the tribs ???
-
That was an odd ball thing back in april 2008, it had been very unusually warm for days, creek temps were very high and the adult eyes were in a stressed state, I'm not sure if it would occur under normal conditions killer.

nice! the firefly is a nice touch
-
Jim's one request was to try and get a few fire fly's in a shot, well that one was just a hay hears another cool shot call and by dumb luck I got the streaking light making the shot even more dramatic, and if you look closer you will see the faint clouds of the Milky Way over the house. For where he's positioned near Allentown Bethlehem and Quakertown the night sky is blazing compared to what I have in my town and im farther north.

Nice shots Rob ! That bear tore up a bird feeder a few houses over last night, that may be what scared that cat up the tree. LOL

OMG so you think we were with in yards of a wild bear last night :cookoo:
-
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.

I have to keep that in mind for next time :w00t:

Spent my birthday on the river with my 2 best girls, My niece Brittany and Lisa!

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...

we ain't got long to wait and well have fish in the river :D

Your a fishin machine Choo Choo, no matter where or what you produce quality catches, nice work!!! :thumbup_smilie: :flag:

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.

Nice pics DC...spent many a hot summer day on the EQ creek by that rock...and buttermilk falls just upstream. I bet you spooked out a couple of trout in that hole when ya's got there!!Nice to see ya getting those cute kids used to being around water...teach them to swim too DC when they get a litlle older. I just read where a 9 year old PA. boy slipped off the bank while fishing with his family at the Bushkill access on the Delaware last Monday afternoon . Knee deep current where he fell in, but took him into a 9ft hole where he drowned,as his family tried desperately to save him. So sad. Please be careful everyone.

Tubed the river today, great way to beat the heat. went from Altmar to 2A. I would post pic's but had a slight malfunction, lost the GO PRO in the Bovines in my haste to avoid getting sucked under a downed tree. So if anybody needs one,go for it. Time for an upgrade anyway. ::).

We have had them in the water since 5 months old, they love it!
Yep, always a few trout at the "big rock"... The next bridge above Harrys(not the new one being built) has turned into a real nice swimming hole!
-
Great pictures DC! I remember fishing with my grandfather on Mad River up between Camden and Florance, there was a small but deep hole right at the end of our run by the bridge. I'd always jump in before heading home.

great pics Jay , thanks for sharing ,

Had fun taking pics Friday night Rob, thanks for the tips, I'll get the hang of it eventually, I'm a little slow. :blink:

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.

HOLY CRAP, hair was standing on end for this one... Dam were they close. Hands were shakin so bad could hardly work the camera These are true colors on an F 10 at 4 seconds , no computer altering. The pic doesn't do justice to how powerful this storm was. Awesome night. Storm developed over head, no warning, just run and shoot...so no incoming shots, only money shots.....

Awesome!! Not sure what WB you used but you can really see the different colors in the lightning like I was talking about. Excellent job!!
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.

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.
best I could do.

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

:o :o :o :cookoo: ;D Nice pics of the lightning, i figured it was in your back yard according to the radar.

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.
best I could do.

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:

Ok, the Great Carnac (snagger) what is your prediction for the first salmon run this year?
I am hoping I have my work caught up by that time. This retirement sucks when everyone wants you to do something for them. Going to have to learn to say no.
Kowboy haven't heard from you in a while. Hope everything is going alright.

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.
(https://www.myfishfinder.com/fishing_forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi647.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fuu200%2Fsnagger69%2Ftroutbrook_zps9458ba34.jpg&hash=68f15f02b976c333eff587d6d82600ab) (http://s647.photobucket.com/user/snagger69/media/troutbrook_zps9458ba34.jpg.html)
-
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
-
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,....
-
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.

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.

Hey all!
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!

Went down too Selkirk to watch the first lake effect storms of the season, its actually cold enough for thunderheads too build up off the Lake tonight., not much lightning, but a good sunset.

diachi 1120 is my favorite steelhead hook, I use cheaper, less sharp mustad hooks for salmon.
-
thanks snagger!
So in summary a diachii 1120 and some black sponge and I'm good to go.
btw great weather shots, the technicalities escape me but those shots are unreal. That supercell pretty awesome.
cheers!

Killer shot!!! Did you use the polarizer??? Should have if you didn't, and i would have set the color balance to land scape like i was explaining to you the other night. The more you use it the more comfortable you will become with it, I use to for get to do the little things to years ago but now I don't even really think about it

Man Shane thats a sick shot!! I heard there were lake effect storms forming off ontario last night.

That's close to what I use, I don't want to say what I use, sometimes I sell 5-6000 and run out, need the other shops too have them in stock if I run out....

I had the polarizer on rob, once again needed a wider lense, the sunset was huge, chose a cloudy setting for white balance...
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.

Well July's over, we ended up with 6.4 inches of rain in my gauge in Altmar, add in 8.4 inches in June and you get 14.8 inches for 2 months, might be the most I've recorded in last 20 yrs, don't know where my notes are for 2010, that was a wet summer.. definetly the most days with rain.

Took a drive as the storms rolled threw, ended up at Oneida lake, failed on lightning again, yet to get my first daytime bolt, but I'm learning my settings well now for it, its only a matter of time. lake went from flat to 4 footers in 10 minutes.

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

my neighbor saw 2 salmon Monday morning in altmar.

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.

Its no major run, but 3 fish on a rope on August 7th is pretty good... Mark had fish on his graph in the port last night.
-
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!!!
Probably one of the top 10 days I've had up there, t-shirts, cut-off jeans, sneakers w/corkers, very few guys!!
Oh, and lot's of cold beers! ;D ;D
So, these pics today, I don't doubt it one bit, and besides, Snag's a straight shooter! 8)

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.

That's as good of a authentication as your going to get besides seeing for your self...I'm a believer!!! Do you think the main run will be in early this year??

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.

Ran down too the River tonight, fished 3 runs then tripped and broke the clip on my martin that holds the plate on... Reel down, didn't bring a spair, water looked good, its a high 185, not like last year and water was very cool, can't really give a report of any detail... I was so mad, no one around, had a good feeling about the evening. Reels all fixed now. My buddy Mark said the port last night had alot of kings in it, this morning they were gone, wonder what direction they went??????

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?
-
sorry bud if a salmon hits it's out of aggravation they are not feeding during the spawning run ,far as center pins and rods try the snag or a few others on here they are very helpful

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.

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.

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..

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:

"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.

nice eyes Bob ;D
Thanks HT........maybe I'll see you on the river 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

super nice eyes FG

WOWSA, I don't know if you got the rain up there last night like we got Shane, if you did, anything down below rt. 3 will be flying upstream.
I got 6" + in Virgil last night, unbelievable!!! One gully wash after another, all night.
I bet fish can get over Ithaca falls if they wanted to. ::)
Nice job on the early kings, pure screamers I'm sure! I guess it's begun!

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.

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.

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...
-
Looks like 'Ol Cratty loves salmon season too Shane!!! LOL!!--KP 8)
-
I cut my fillets(skin on) to serving size steaks,
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.
-
CRATTY FOOD! I saw cratty take a whitetail deer down one day! :unsure: :w00t: :flex:
-
That's one hell of a cat you grew up shane, but I'll defentily have to try that with the salmon

I half heartedly tried at the meteors last night, if you look really close you'll see a green streak near the lower right horizon, there was some big flares out last night, some white, some green, a few red ones..., but it was still humid out last night. Brought the Iso down to 1250 on this one.... Can't believe rob didn't come up , clear crisp and cold tonight in the 40's, should be quite the show and kings in the river too boot rob....

It was so humid last night my glasses instantly fogged over as soon as I walked out the door, absolutely the worst conditions but for some reason I had no problem with fog on the filter this time, my new cleaning method must be working. Music Fest is going on in Bethlehem, Pa till Sunday. Its 10 days of non stop music, food and drinking, they actually allow you to drink while you fest around town beer tents at every other corner :blink: Thanks Rick !!

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

looks like the old Harbor fest days in oswego Rob ;D

You got it, the fest covers most of the down town area and across the river at the Bethlehem steel stacks where they have all the main concerts. Its suppose to be the largest free music fest in the world, people come from all over the world to attend, I might go back down tonight or tomorrow night for the fire works
-
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.

if you want to do something call me there's a good chance ill be some ware in town for the fire works. 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. I was thinking about shooting rite on the bridge but I noticed a lot of movement waiting for the south side light, don't want blurry pic's

Much better conditions Sat night, just a slight wind moving through the Gap after twilight. 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:

didn't rush anything, that's with long exposer noise reduction...but infinity has been off for a while now, all my lightning shots were junk last trip...
-
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 :-\
-
not a drop of wind last night, must be infinity, I knew I had to pull it back, but everyone said no.
quite a few guys stopped by today who got kings in the river, lakes absolutely on fire right now, something big could be close.

I was looking for the Robert Plant look! LMAO......had tickets to see them in Philly decided NOT to go to the Garden and then the tragedy happened. 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.

Hey Snag, was that wind you got the other night the right direction to bring the fish into the river?
Have you guys been gettin any rain?

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.
-
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)

the funny thing was he was fishing one of the pools there where people were catching strictly kings all day. nothing else. he really only goes for kings anyway. he couldnt believe it when he pulled the fish up next to him

Freddy, they caught the guy, just banged him for 8 more robberies, he'll be in for a long time. My father was a very well respected lawyer in town for many years. So needless to say the whole judicial system is quite upset at this guy. Mom just got released to drive yesterday, still has a small bleed on her brain but it's healing well. She's tough, she actually punched the prick so hard that her knuckles were bruised. ;D Thanks' for the kind words about Taz. He was a mutant of a dog. big and gentle, so big that in his prime HT could have rode him. ::) They say bad things come in threes, so I should be good for a few years . Thank's again.

glad moms OK but wish you could have brought that guy up salmon fishing cause on the river you can beat someone or almost drown them and get a slap on the wrist , we could have taken up a collection and let everybody take a turn ;D

Just bustin H , getting itchy for ice. I asked the cops if the would give me a discreet call when they found him. They are all freinds of the family and said it would cost too much locating all the pieces . ::) it's all good , gonna see if they can hook him up with Bubba.

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.

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.

Fishing really picked up a lot today, good run in progress from the reports from the guys, lots of limits in the fillet station.
one in the front is 34lbs.

Salmon are probably runnin to get out of that warm water too cooler water up here.

When you guys refer to upper and lower river, what is the determination point between the two? Above Pulaski is upper or is it more like up past pineville area closer to altar?

Fished early this morning, steady push of fish were coming up till the sun got overhead, landed a big male that took me a couple hundred yards up river for my first river fish of the year. Also saw 2 steelhead landed, kinda surprised that there in this early.

Major evening on the River, I hooked up litterly almost every cast for 3 hours, 56 hook ups total, had 3 casts where another salmon was tangled on the line above the original fish I had on, 2 fish on the same line...... burned through almost a 50 bag of hooks, just a crazy night...

Since this all started on the 6th, I been fishin deep pools not rapids during the afternoons, guys said the moving fish died out around noon, like it has the last 4 times, these fish we were fishin for started moving at dark, only like a 10 minute window to hit em in the rapids where I was...
-
Danbo came up without any thunderstorms but still romped 'em. Nice pics. I'll bet by now with these reports and others it's gonna be a zoo by the weekend. At least a zoo by August standards.

2 weekends ago there was 50 cars in town, only a handful today... august is about timeing, theres 3 separate runs in the river right now, and its dead in between them.

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.
-
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!
-
Danbo packed up at 730 from arm cramps and a noisey reel :w00t: he said he did well over 100 hook ups for the day.
-
Nice pic Shane! you didn't give anything away there ;)
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.
-
I was just behind Bruces old place the other day.. Glad hes in Town... The run continues, guys here are in the 50 hook up range again this morning, only 2 miles up river from yesterday.
-
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!

Hi All,
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,
Cameron.

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.

Hi All,
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,
Cameron.
Most, not all, of the guys on here are experienced. I'm still a novice but not a forum novice! Just look at how many posts are listed below the avatar and you can tell who is a forum novice. You have 4 posts. If you scroll through some of the pages with that in mind you'll soon see what I mean.

Went up this morning for a few hours before work. Found a nice pool of fish away from any people. 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??

Hit the River tonight for about an hour and a half, I hit 16 and landed my limit, Fish were spreading out a bit and settling into the pools by the time I made it down, broke my fly reel handle and had to call it early...plenty more fish too run yet next 2 days..... my lodgers smashed them today, got a few to clean now, .... 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.

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.

nice snag...I was just downstream from you trying for an august steelhead. .got trashed by those big river kings...left before prime time when I ran into nwoods mark an his crew with bulging coolers in their trucks!! They were drenched with sweat from hauling those kings to the parking lot! No steel for me...but did hear of a few caught.wild low water august run!!good luck to all!
-
I know the salmon river doesn't get huge runs of browns like some other places do, but just wondering when they normally start coming In, and if they tend to not travel upriver as far as Salmon and steelhead? Id love to get a male brown in spawning colors. Thx
-
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.

Jr. and I made it out early this morning...not a hot run by any means. Saw a bunch of fish hooked, including the dozen Jr. and I hooked up with. 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)
Thanks to the guys who were cutting branches off a tree and allowing the limbs to flow downstream...... >:(

Had a great morning fishin' solo on ontario this morning out of port ontario....7 am to 10am..went 3 for 3 on kings 22 , 23, 24 lbs! Fun...a little choppy,...but still fun.They seemed to be sniffing out thesalmon river plume off the dunes ;), south wind...all 3 unclipped 2 females &1male..can't post pics on this phone
-
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.

He runs an outfitter lodge and a cleaning station do you think he would put that in jeopardy. Shane some people can't read they just look at pictures! Lol
-
"looks like there are 11 fish to many fir the amount of guys in the picture"
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??

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.

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!!!

only saw 3 other fishermen where I was fishing.

Great job on all those fish everyone...here is a pic from my thursday lake Ontario solo limit down 90 over 130 fow ,north of the salmon river, off of south dune. Lots of boats out there thursday, had fun dodging them...decided not to fish the big lake yesterday, and had fun jigging the Little O with no one around me! Big O this week after the winds calm down...good luck everyone. I think your river prediction is gonna be right on the money Shane...

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

yeah SCG, we know who you are, and the rest of the hooligans that call this thread home. 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.

read your Oswego report , , when mother nature kicks in there are much better places to fish than Oswego , don't forget your floaties ;D , remember it's only Aug. snag when my hips back in I'll get out to rake a few , but in the mean time I'll just have to keep fishing for those nasty Walleyes ::)

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.

heres another little tid-bit that I heard ,that if thePulaski fire department didn't make any money this year from the field days they are cosidering selling the field and there is a buyer waiting , but it was just a rumor I heard , but there goes the clam shed if that happens

189 dollars a night for a room.. That's crazy Freddie.. Seen some pretty crazy thing's on the river, but this outta be a riot when the AOL gang lines up across from the rich guy's..

We lose another fishing spot and the rich get another tax break.

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.

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

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.

Nice job!

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/)

We really should buy some land to keep it open to the public, but sad to say its mostly gone now..... People with big pockets have gotten most of the good stuff in the last 6 years.

Great pics all, congrats.
Thanks for all the replies to my earlier questions, very informative. Still a lot to think about to get my mind wrapped around it. I will say don't under estimate the power that this site, it's members and people asssociated with them could have. For instance, I thought the suggestion of a voluntary donation could be effective. Don't want to hijack this thread anymore, I'll maybe start another to explore it. Thanks again.
-
I was thinking on the same lines , wonder what kind of tax breaks they got ? lots of bookings for 3.5 gaint clams ;)
They don't have to pay property taxes for 10 yrs.
-
heres another little tid-bit that I heard ,that if thePulaski fire department didn't make any money this year from the field days they are cosidering selling the field and there is a buyer waiting , but it was just a rumor I heard , but there goes the clam shed if that happens
that's a horrible thought.
Back when I was younger you had to pay 5 bucks to park at the black hole and ball park, it was ran by Pulaski.

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.

that school with 34 acres went for 450,000 at auction.

jim boen's old place on the corner across from malindas was supposed to go too auction, I had already called some friends and we were gonna attend the auction, we were gonna try and buy it to keep it open to the public up by the bridge, but woodbine must of done a side deal, as the day before auction, it was sold,...

I hear that brother, I bought my place in late 93 when I was 24 yrs old, I got no rich mommy or daddy, I ate ramon noodles for years in the beginning, and played a lot of cards, couldn't afford anything else.

Looks like a good steady run of fish this year not all at once like last year, With a crew like that running "The Gauntlet" there will be no fish left for the weekenders. ;D

How in the hell did they get away with no taxes for ten yrs. Are they Amish?There must be a way for the town to fight that ::)

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???

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.

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....

gotcha, so it seems my fifty or five hundred, however you look at it, could be better spent on a reproduction mount from the thanks of the pay area for letting them swim to the free zones..

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 ;)

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.

Great reminder Hocfish!! Thanks!!--KP 8)

Great time this weekend!!! Nice to see everyone! Be back up in 2 weeks for slaughter fest #2!!

Does anybody know where I can rent or score a cheap set of kids waders? Size 4? I checked all around town and no one rents them anymore. My daughter just turned 9 and is ready to hit the big river. Thanks guys for any help! And thanks Shane for the skein! I went to the 81 bridge Saturday afternoon like we talked and around 4:30 some started to move through. Had some fun!

Check gander mt.

I see they are running the river at 335 till Thursday. It's 444 at Pineville now.
Do you think this will bring in anymore fish? How were they running today?
-
Yeah what's with all the secrets guys? I want some of snagger's famous reports and conditions!

I bought a pair of felt sole boot foot waders from Cabelas 5 years ago for my son when he was 9, and they worked out great. He has since outgrown them. I don't think they leak, and you are welcome to have them. I live in Albany, but have a camp in Mexico and get out that way every couple weeks. Give me a shout if you want them.
-
Well the slaughter fest we were hoping for never happen this weekend but we did have one heck of a great time on the water with good friends and decent action... the killer food and hospitality at AOL this weekend did not disappoint any one, and to cap the weekend off last night I got a hands on lesson in lightning photography from the master. I have more pic's posted on FB

Just got off the phone with one of the owners of Temple Fork rods ...It did not go well .... An absolute jerk off ....
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.
-
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.
-
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...
-
just curious as to why they wont take them back? i just bought a 9/9 signiture 2 a few weeks ago off recomendations from this site and it came with a lifetime no fault warrantee. seems like with their reputation and a warrantee like that they should either replace the rods if there is a fault with this recent batch or fix them without question
-
I have been lucky. For 7yrs now ,I have had 2 diawa 9wt fly rods Beat the hell out of them. $40.00 Never a problem with either of them. ;)

Shimano has always been one of those companies that stands behind their products and I can't say I've ever had an issues with getting a replacement/ repairs done under warranty ;D

Sorry been busy and everytime I came here I couldn't post anyway so said heck with it. 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

If your going to drive from buffalo you would be passing atleast 6 different spots along the way that are waaay closer to home. No need to drive so far to fish in the crowds. J.m.o. FISH ON!!

hey everyone see some familiar names from onieda iceshanty on here cant wait to catch up with some of ya on the hardwater! finally went out and purchased a river setup seeing as I live 5 miles from the river. Been out a few times this year and no luck no hook ups nothing people all around me catching fish. If anyone would let me tag along one of these weekends that would be awesome cause I just don't get it. the only person I know who has ever fished the river has not fished since he was tending bar in Port Ontario at the gold mine and the old treble hooks with lead melted onto them (snagging hooks) were the only thing used for the river so his tips are a bit out dated and illegal although those old hooks are handy for retrieving stuff dropped overboard lol

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

Because the 1st people in the new bobber craze made it out to be some mystical tech----not what it really is---the EASIEST way to catch steel on the SR ........
-
Easier that snagging them in the mouth ??? I love hitting steelies on the bobber. No mystical tech, just fun when they smash it. But what do I know.......
-
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.
j
-
lets see if i got this right a fly is considered an artificial and a bead is also an artifcial , one uses fly line and one uses mono , but also can be run off fly line with leaders , so my way of thinking is everyone fish the way they like and mind the laws and enjoy ;)

suicide run today. Did well, except for the first time out with my new St Croix 10 wt, fish on, CRACK, right in the middle of the middle section. Glad its warrantied for life but I will never get it back by the 27th when I'll be up for 9 days. Fish were big and fresh...all were released.

"DarkSide" - Its a joke... 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...

Finally got to meet Snagger and see the AOL on Tuesday when I had my son up for his first salmon trip. Good job on cleaning the fish for us Shane and your lodging arangements are perfect for our ways. It was the first time to stay there but will not be the last. The only thing that I didn't do was get a phone # for AOL so I can call up to make reservations, anyone have it?

Check this out on Amazon:
OKUMA AVENTA CENTERPIN COMBO
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002KS4EWA/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8.
Looking for a cheaper starter pin to fish oak orchard for browns in the winter would thus work or am I just wasting money

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....

Nice job on the fish DC and Tank!
p.s. I perfer the bead under the bobber instead of meat ;)

Feeling fine today after that one cramp. Getting to the gym and working out 3 days a week help us old guys thru a day of fishing. Did a lot of sweating yesterday but the 50 plus hook ups I had was well worth it. Another great day on the river.
-
lets see if i got this right a fly is considered an artificial and a bead is also an artifcial , one uses fly line and one uses mono , but also can be run off fly line with leaders , so my way of thinking is everyone fish the way they like and mind the laws and enjoy ;)
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... ;)

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...
-
keep us informed on the service , hunter and let them know people on a fishing site are watching ;)
-
Hey hunter, let me know if you don't get it back in time, I most likely have a loaner for you.
You would just have to stop by and grab it, or maybe I'll be headed up that way, shoot me a pm.
-
Essox would you use it for salmon or should I keep with my spin gear for them

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.
-
I didn't bother waiting. Dropped my own coin to send it back priority and it should be there Monday. It will be close. Got a good mind to express my opinions of that rod on their facebook page.

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

I use an 8 wt sage that has many years of hard use and my 11 wt 5 1/4 oz fenwick is my back up

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.
-
same here, I just wanted them to know it was the first time this rod was used, I wanted to expedite it there, that I needed it by the 27th. Dude in the warranty dept. acted like he could care less....the waiting begins now.

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).

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)

Saturday morning was a bit slower than most of us would have liked but the seasonable weather and good friends to BS with made it a little easier to take after hearing all the good reports from this week, once again should have ben hear yesterday :wacko: by mid day the action had picked up and most of the crew were on fish in numerous spots up river. 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:

I got up there Friday lots of fish early. had 25-30 hook ups by 11 managed to land 2, seemed like lots of fresh fish making big strong runs.

Excellent work Frank!! Looks like I need to brush up on my day time shooting, should of moved up to the trestle where you were, I was to far from the action and having the polarizer on only added to the problem...guess I should stick to night photography, :w00t: got a few more from the weekend

Saturday morning was a bit slower than most of us would have liked but the seasonable weather and good friends to BS with made it a little easier to take after hearing all the good reports from this week, once again should have ben hear yesterday :wacko: by mid day the action had picked up and most of the crew were on fish in numerous spots up river. 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 with little to no knowledge. Like many 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:
heading home ill post more pics later

The circus at the Trestle sat afternoon didn't disappoint, watched this guy and his friends get close lined by some one hooked up on walk in side bank, he was totally under for a few seconds floundering on the rocks, standing alone trying to regain his composure, the king added a little more insult by jumping for joy over what he had dun :rotflol: :rotflol:

Looks like some movment coming up this week with the rain!!! But then again who knows...
Thanks guys for the comments on my pictures.. I'll get better I had changing light so some shots are brighter then others.

Nice pictures simplecarpieguy and lehigh valley!!...river guy's get ready for some coho action soon. I got out to fish the lake yesterday morning and we hooked 4 salmon....all nice big coho's..2 into the boat out in 130 to 160 fow. But like scg said... you never know.
-
Nice pics everyone...love those jumping shots...

good job choo choo getting some silvers
great shots guys

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.

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."
-
That's awesome on the wild fish numbers coming back to the river. Out of 12 fish that made it in the boat last week only one was a wild fish. Anyone notice how much larger the wild fish are than the stocked kings

All of the pictures are simple amazing and a joy to look at thanks for posting them well b at it again maybe Thursday for round 2 for Colleen, and if that don't work she says shes ready with the bow. lol Oh and KC she netted my fish and did agreat job, although I never got the net for her as we never got that close but im working on my netting just for you lol

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?
-
Last nights rain got some fish movin again, no big run like the ones we have already seen, but atleast now theres fish in most of the runs down low again, cleaned some nice coho's and guys here hit some browns today mixed in with the kings.
-
Seen a few coho's moving by last night, I got a little Steelhead about 14 inches over all there was fish moving ;D
-
I to think 60% is high ,

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.

We did throw around the notion of wild fish as we chased them upstream for three days.
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.
-
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 ,

cool shot Snagger, next time you do a shot like that try lighting up your dark foreground areas with a flash light, adding light will not only make for a better shot but you will be surprised at how it helps sharpen the focus

saw some nice kings cleaned at AOF today 1 king around 28 lbs maybe a bit more bigger fish seemed to be a little more up stream , and a few cohos down lower
-
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.
-
well we go from all clipped to none wow is all i can say and they work for the same department ???
ran into north woods yesterday him and his guys all caught a limt of nice kings with a couple of cohos mixed in and by the way north woods thanks for the smoked salmon , it was some of the very best i have ever had , thanks again buddy

Yo - northern fisher guys-- you too Snag - my buddy and I are thinkin of takin a trip up your way and fishin the LAKE, maybe Friday.....any fish still out there?....is a trip up there to fish in the lake worthwhile right now?......where would be best to start out? We're flexible on where to go.......Any info appreciated.......we mostly fish Cayuga and Otisco so we haven't been up to the big lake in a few years.
thanks.

few will recall thiss fillet i know will back a long long time ago we had a myrax scare in lake ontario i believe coumo sr was gov at the time ...stocking was halted that year and you were issued 3 metal tags to keep 3 trophy fish ..... yeah i didn't work but ... 4 years after that scare and the extreme low stocking that year we had a close to non existing year ..... after that i came to a conclusion and it's just my personal opinion ...... if we didn't stock fish they would be gone very shortly .... also remeber kings were stocked in ontaro in the 50's too and died right out! ......if you stop stocking this fishery will collaspe

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!!!
-

well, they need to get out the lake and start heading up river!!! ;D
-
this salmon fishery will definitely crash without stocking , and that is a fact , it is a put and take fishery , and in the old toxic days they even set up road blocks :rotflol: but I can say through all those bad years of fishing, fishing was still good , there are hundreds of miles of streams to fish ,but right now without some good rain fall the Oswego and the Salmon are the 2 best choices , but that will change I'm sure just an ol buzzards .02
-
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

Rain all day Saturday!!!! LETS SEE THE BIG PUSH!!!!!!!!!!!

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

Does anyone know of a place with a room for two available the 26 I found one room at the port lodge motel inbpulaski was more looking for a local owned family place thanks for any help
You might try salmon heaven in altmar. Brenda might have one

Rain all day Saturday!!!! LETS SEE THE BIG PUSH!!!!!!!!!!!
Rain, Rain and more Rain, is needed........
Hoping for a big cool down and Rain for the next 2 weeks to flood the river with fish.... :laugh:

well trapp it was a great trout stream in the old days , but the salmon stopped our thing , and did provide lots of fishing for others with the salmon and steelhead , I still have a few pics when I was a young man , all in all I think this was a good thing , but I do miss the trout fishing on the river
-
Looks like ill be ready to get back up there soon. last trip up i tore my waders, BIG tear not patchable, just found out that there a new pair in a box sitting here ready for my B day tomorrow ;D ;D ;D now if only a day off was included......

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!!!!!

well trapp we are just getting old , and I don't think I'm spry enough to swing a spay rod anyway

Big surge of tropical moisture heading north up out of mexico this morning, should get in trained in tomorrows cold front as it comes through, GFS and Euro models are hinting towards over an inch of rain in central New york... 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.

Hey trap back in the winter of 76-77 the year Seneca lake froze over and Ontario almost froze, only twice in history has that happened, there was a massive alewife dieoff, another reason for halted salmon stockings too.

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..

Well if were reminiscing this morning, how many people remember fishing 200 feet from the weir in town before the hatchery was built, it was my go to spot after the flats.
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...
-
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
life is good

I bet we fished together a lot, I fished the wier til the 84 flood wiped it out and changed all the water too the other side that we now fish, papermill too bruces falls pool was my third stop.

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.

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...

Choo thanks for the info, glad u got into afew, only have acouple weeks left until I leave for Illinois, so hope to get up there to hook afew and get colleen onto her first one for 2013. was up on sunday and although it was slow for us did see some hilarious stuff.

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

it is a Sage LE 890 and I got it, a Redington reel, 2 fly boxes and a net that a guy on another forum bought a few years back to fish Erie steelhead. Tried it once wasn't his bag and had it in his cellar. Got the whole thing for $100.

Made it up yesterday for half a day. hooked into a couple at the ball park only saw a couple landed. Having an issue with my line, using trilene 10 lb test and after the second fish my line was frayed pretty bad. same thing happen last year with different line. Not sure if i got two bad batches of line or what. anyone got suggestions on better line?
-
r any of your eyelets cracked?

i haven't checked them although it was a different rod as well.

Happened to me the last time I was up. The fish swam around a rock then headed up stream. When I reeled in the line was toast.

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

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
right on with the maxima ultragreen chamelion is good also(MAXIMA)

P.B.R. did you notice that with the p-line your sinkers want to slip down all the time????? RICK

I use trilean extra tough 12 # and I haven't had a problem

15# big game ;D

P.B.R. did you notice that with the p-line your sinkers want to slip down all the time????? RICK
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)

Hey snagged inbox was full will be staying with you tomorrow was just looking for a starting spot in the am
-
P.B.R. did you notice that with the p-line your sinkers want to slip down all the time????? RICK
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.

thanks

Hey snagged inbox was full will be staying with you tomorrow was just looking for a starting spot in the am
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

Pony up ur $50 and we got a deal----sad to see that u don't get it after 30 yrs(but still feel the need to comment on most of my posts)--and who said anything about dries? I can assure u I wont go 20 for 68 :-\
-
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!

I got out and fished the lake this evening in front of the salmon river. I marked lots of fish from 20 to 40 fow. Then the last half hour they were rolling and some leaping out of the water in close.....but I could not get one to attack my lures.On the way in, there werelots of salmon rolling and thrashing in the lower estuary.....I counted Over 30 just on my short ride to the boat launch.I will try again tomorrow....good luckguys.

I'm guessing, from your posts, you work for DSR and are threatened by Snag's popularity. Just a guess but you make an easy case. Keep up the informative posts ;)

DD I think he is not causing any trouble he is willing to show the the real deal so that makes him a man of his word , no harm or foul in my book , I'm always willing to admit when I'm wrong and I hope I am , and everyone on here is free to express them selves , and he has been up front and that is cool

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 :)

Just to clear the air boys....I meant no harm in that post I posted towards ms2.

Did I hear THE BITE IS ON, BETTER HURRY AND GET SOME FRESH BAIT.
-
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
-
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 :)
-
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.
-
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.

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!!!!

Didn't see any new fish move in the lower end this weekend but we now have old fish from top to bottom, if you were able to catch up with a pod from earlier in the week you probably had a good time as they made there way by you. 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

Fished all day saturday and till 1 today and did fairly well at ballpark.finally figured out how to land these beasties. Good time until my martin multiplier reel face plate popped off on 2 fish.wrapped it up with electrical tape and landed more like that haha.good time
-
Sick pictures Rob!!!
-
Great pic's Rob. Duffy, we were rotating, it was my turn. ;D Great so see and fish with everybody, lots of hookups, a few landed.
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.
-
Been up nearly every week since middle of August but I am amazed at the amount of idiots this past weekend. Lots of stupid people with fishing poles in the world today,topped it off Sunday with two morons crossing the ballpark from the island to the launch at the deepest/fastest spot.One guy ended up stuck in the roots of the downed tree and three guys had to pull him out.

Wish i did,first instinct was to try and help now I have been kicking myself for not pulling my phone out of my waders.Would of made great video and better audio of everyone yelling at him for not dropping his rod while there trying to keep him from getting sucked under the tree.

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

Best day on the river for salmon today for me and colleen atleast. I let her fight my fish and her own fish and although she didn't land any she sure put on a show. 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.

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.

Just got back from a great week...all except our incident at the ballpark....no I wasn't the one in the roots. 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...

well it has happened to all of us so I'm thinking you must have run into Richard Cranium and his flock

that gets old for sure. i decided to get the winter chores done today instead of fighting the people on the river. my son just got done with his first sit in the stand with the bow for 4 hours of nothing. ya baby. welcome to the real world of hunting............. ;) he said he wants to go in the morning ;D ;) 8)

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.

You did the right thing, BUT, me on the other hand, well let's just say things would have gone differently!

Hunter it looks like ya had fun anyway... I'd say you did the right thing. The most I'll do is state my opinion cordially and leave it at that. 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 :-\

nice job hunter. it is what it is now, the river is full of people of all kinds now believe me. i slept in and decided to go to the center of it all in town today. watched 5 different people fall into the river head first ::) ::) i hooked 30+ fish and landed one. only fished for 2 hours and that was all i could take. ;)

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.

I'd take that coho over a king any day a great smoker , I weighed in a 30.5 lb male king today

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.
-
Nice pics boys!!!! :thumbup_smilie: :flag:
-
Yeah Shane, noticed the opposite wind direction this morning, and yes what a season its been. I hooked and landed kings earlier than I ever have this year and saw consistent fish from early august like I've never seen before...
-
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?
-
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!!!
-
well done camo sr and jr.
-
Hey snag, I think you meant to write "finale" not finally. Wow, what a stupid point to add to this thread, but when you're bored, you're bored. Here's to a slaughter this weekend on the sterlings, ninemile, maxwell, and mink.
Hey trapp, anything swimming behind Walmart? Anybody been on catfish?

RAVO really glad you had a great time buddy
-
Choo choo, spot on with the water temps although they did warm up a bit around fourth week in august. 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.
-
hunter great pictures but if it were me , i wouldn't have left the spot ... he was drunk and stoned i'm old so thats a 50 50 shot i'd dot his eye :rotflol:

everyone I talked to yesterday said fish were everywhere , one of the older guys thats been coming up since the early 80's said it was unreal ,all they needed was a touch more water

2 for 58 today at the ballpark. I was on the north shore, where I couldn't move around to land them. Maybe that is why everyone was on the other side of the river. I had fun anyway.
When I left the afternoon I saw 4 people with in 50 yds of each other hooked up just below the eye of the needle.

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.

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.

Stopped at Snaggs, had some lunch, then headed downriver. Had a nice afternoon - wasnt silly w fish but We had prob 50 hooks-ups between the two of us. Mostly kings, some hos, and we both played with 2 steelies each...

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
-
Well.......not a good way to find a date in college, just saying. ;) The salmon don't taste half bad if prepared properly when cooking or smoking. Most people don't care for the taste.--KP 8)

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.

Pretty wild shenanigans again on the salmon river...fall salmon season never dissapoints! The craziness just gets better and better...gotta love it.
On a fishier note, got into some nice steelhead last week bottom bouncing flies,and this monday had fun and got into more nice steel below town center pinning. They were real spunky for sure.
Here is a pic of the nicest one i got on monday...hopefully it's going to be a great steelhead season too...

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?

Yup that's a big king!! Also looks so big cause Kevin is holding it up!! Lol jk
-
Thats a dinasour that kevin is holding up. he got me my first king four years ago. i never mesured mine but im guessing my hen was 42" because it was from my belly button to the floor. i knew 36lbs sounded too big. i was thinking 32 lbs before i put it on the scale. im going to check mikes scale next year against a calibrated one of my own.

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!

Last nights rain was pretty un eventful but this mornings lake effect machine is cranking, lightning, thunder graupel, the whole works pounding Tug hill, with much more lake effect in the forecast this week, it aint gonna be long now, the high water fans (me included) will be getting there wish soon. and a cold rain , water temps will be dropping rapidly today and tomorrow, steelhead "Blitz" is about too start.

the litter is really bad this year--cant anybody pick up the cans and bottles--i have always picked up a few pieces on the way out but this year i decided i was just gonna fish and not clean it up--so please pitch in guys carry out 3 or 4 cans on the way out it will help---it seems people are not gonna change so if we want a nice river and experience we will have to clean up after the slobs----thanx

your right fishbone. Went up last week of Sept. with 3 friends one of which always no matter where he is picks up and carry's out litter. Each day walked out with a nice bag full plus some tackle. If everyone did that the river would look so much better and it would put a positive image on the fishermen. How could you not get that????????? ??? ::) ::) :o >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
-
There was garbage everywhere in Orwell brook when I was fishing it. It's not that hard to carry garbage out!
-
save your breath guys , the people that leave it don't care and the rest of us just clean up after them like their mamas do >:( it's the same ice fishing
-
Yup, they are oblivious to it. The ballpark was a trash dump this past mid august... oops, I'll hold my breach now ;D

I would take a walmart bag and fill it with mono braid and garbage every time I went from ball park.i have enough random hooks to use its not even funny.dont know what ill do with them all.the braid is what really grinds my gears. I end up walking out tits deep to pull crap up if I can.its funny to me when a 22 yr old has to pick up after so many guys that know better but just dont care
-
the litter is really bad this year--cant anybody pick up the cans and bottles--i have always picked up a few pieces on the way out but this year i decided i was just gonna fish and not clean it up--so please pitch in guys carry out 3 or 4 cans on the way out it will help---it seems people are not gonna change so if we want a nice river and experience we will have to clean up after the slobs----thanx
I watched as the trash got worse year after year near my house, well this year the trash has shifted too Pulaski, less trash up here this season.
-
I scanned the fields yesterday as I usually pick up trash today every year after the big season is over, it looked like I'll need less bags than normal. Atleast near me in altmar. Took a walk from my house to wires, much less than previous yrs.
-
If Pulaski sells the ball park too someone, the anglers will have no one too blame but themselves for trashing it.

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...
-
seems like today everybody takes everything for granted nobody gives a &$#*!!! sorry, not everybody but a chosen few sickening!!!!! just my opinion ,,,and you know the phrase that goes with it :rotflol: :rotflol: :rotflol:
-
HUMANS ARE THE MOST DESRUCTIVE ANIMAL ON THIS PLANET.....
HOW HARD IS IT TO PICK UP AFTER YOURSELF...
THANK YOU SNAGGER FOR ALL YOU DO ON THE SALMON
SEE YOU IN NOVEMBER ILL SWING IN AND SAY HI

Low lifes and snaggers live in altmar, least that's what everyone online was taught on salmon crazy, so everyone has crowded Pulaski now, wheres the trash now? ;)

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
And hats off to anyone who does pick up trash from the slobs when walking the river and surrounding areas...
-
from what I heard through the vine it was being based on if the fire company made any money off the field days , but don't hold me to this , just a rumor I heard
-
Found trash off the beaten path today...made me mad.
Also found steelies...beautiful morning on the SR.
Not the biggest today, but the only decent picture...

I'm going on my first steelhead trip over the weekend....using a spinning set up (probably my salmon rod using a lighter leader tied to the heavier line). What should I use for bait and do I need sinkers or do I float it.

Monster Steelhead run down low yesterday, I hit 3 spots, 2 were epic, almost every cast for certain guys I watched...but the crowds were tough, ended up coming back to Altmar, went 3 for 3 fast at dark, float bite started. High water will help bring these fish upriver, perfect timing for this high water as a lot of people were snagging and keeping over there limit in Pulaski.,

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...
-
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.
-
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

Fly rod with fly line with two pac mans baby !!

Let everybody keep there limit. Otherwise, they end up half-revived floating down-river sideways.
-
well the old law was if you had your limit on the stringer , you were done now you can keep on fishing , with a 1 fish limit are you going to pass up fish for the keep? hell no we are all catch and release so we can tire them out to the point of exhaustion so we can fish all day and the lighter the line used the longer the fight contiunes JMT from 35 plus years of fishing the river and it's tribs

Off topic,,but I had to share this with you guy's...And thanks Mbrown for wishing me good luck today trying once again to catch my first ever musky....GOT A BEAUTY today on the St Lawrence!!! Absolutely awesome and thrilling experience!! A day , and fish, I will never forget...the highlight of my fishing so far...I am still high as a kite...and feelmuch better now since a big one came un-buttoned on me ,halfway in, a few weeks ago.That lost musky has been haunting me for a few weeks now...Now I can sleep better!!

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.

sorry been down with the flu for a week or so, have done some fishin lately though, sunday was really epic in the afternoon and Monday was on fire as well, its been slippin a little since, but theres more steelhead in the river right now than ever before, just a matter of time till it goes down a bit, then its gonna be good times,, with the higher flows most of the better spots have been elbo to elbo, soon we'll be able too spread out, bead took a back seat to sacs sunday-monday, not sure about last 2 days...
-
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.

Anyone notice how high the waters been in the last 2 weeks... 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.

Anyone notice how high the waters been in the last 2 weeks... 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

Thank's rob.. Awesome pic's guy's..

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.

Glad you enjoyes yourself KC, lots more fishing to be done, just going to be alittle colder. colleen says shell come if I put the blind up again with the heater buddy inside lol

Fishing was pretty slow this weekend so we made the best of it by using that killer moon light Friday night to produce some cool looking images. Last nights storm only dropped 5" hear in Altmar but at times the 30 mph winds had viability down to a few feet LOL so naturally we had to get out and try ta get a few shots. Check my FB page for more ;D

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.
