Updated Fishing Reports - Salmon River, Pulaski Ny

July 30, 2010

Brown trout fishing on Lake Ontario has been great. Salmon fishing has been sub par. We've been trolling for the trout in 90-120' taking fish on Michigan Stingers. The few salmon that have been around are in 140-160'- fly/spin dr combos are working best. We have plenty of open dates for August and September. Salmon fishing will be heating up very soon.

Brown trout fishing has been very good on Lake Ontario charters the last few days.
Lots of action for 4-8 pound trout. The trout are hitting Michigan Stingers in 70-100' - 60-70' down off the downriggers. The salmon are hitting but it's not on fire just yet. I would expect the king salmon to show up in better numbers over the next few weeks. Walleye fishing on Oneida Lake has been OK. Slow drifting/trolling worms spinners in 25-35' has been producing decent catches of 16-20 inchers. We have plenty of open dates for the rest of July. August is filling up for salmon charters so get ahold of us soon!

PAST FISHING REPORTS

July 7, 2010

Trout & salmon fishing on Lake Ontario has been heating up the last few weeks.
Charters are catching brown trout, steelhead and king salmon off Oswego to the Salmon River over deep water. The bait has been heavy all season that should help keep the big predators in our area. We have plenty of dates open for summer charters. We offer very reasonable rates and our 2 day package deals are the best deal in town. Fall salmon dates are filling in fast- book it now!

Over all it has been a good walleye season on Lake Ontario. Lots of BIG walleyes were taken throughout May. This last week has slowed down a lot on Lake Ontario but we have been going to Oneida lake as a plan B. I like plan B! It's been ON FIRE walleye fishing on Oneida Lake the last few nights. Slow trolling worms/spinners during the day and lure at night has been producing good catches of 15-20'' walleye. Small mouth and white bass have been plentiful as well.
Charters out on Lake Ontario have been taking lake trout. Brown trout and salmon fishing has been tough so lake trout have been picking up the slack. Again it's always nice to have a plan B! The lake has been setting up a thermocline- I'd bet trout and salmon fishing will improve very soon. .

Trolling for walleye on the Lake Ontario shoreline has been pretty good so far this season. A few nights were tough due to strong winds making it next to impossible to even fish.
The brown trout fishing remains decent for charters during the day. A few salmon are being taken out deeper as well. There were some impressive results in the Spring LOC derby- two 32 pound +Kings, 12 pound + Walleye, 27 pound Laker, 16 pound + Brown Trout- I would say the good old days are back! I would expect to see 40 pounds in the fall LOC.

Walleye fishing on Lake Ontario has been very good. Slow trolling stickbaits along the lake shore produced steady action. A few trout thrown in each night along with several double digit walleyes pushing 13#s. We have plenty of guides open for night walleye fishing. We fish Lake Ontario for trophy walleye and Oneida Lake for smaller eater size fish.

Steelhead season is officially over for this guide. Over all the steelhead season was excellent. The last month was tough due to low flows in the Salmon River.
Well now it's lake charter time! Right now brown trout and walleye fishing has begun. So far we have been trolling the eastern shore of lake Ontario for brown trout. It has been decent with some quality size trout coming to the boat. Reports have been good for night walleye fishing along the lake shore as well. Oneida has been slow for walleyes but that's typical for the beginning of the season. We will be out tonight for the my first Lake Ontario walleye trip of the season. I will be updating a lot more often as the season progresses. The charter boat is going in the water this week so we will be ready for deep water salmon fishing very soon. There have been reports of decent catches of king salmon already!

Steelhead fishing has been decent-ok-average. Not the on fire April we are used to but everyone has been happy at least. Water levels are low- 285cfs. This is main reason that we are working hard each day to scrape out enough fish to remain-''ok''. The last few days the pressure was heavy and finding spots to fit in was tough. During the week we had alot more water to fish and this certainly helped. There's enough fish for a few more weeks but my bet is it is going to be over by early May. The majority of fish seem to be done spawning and heading back out quickly. Brown trout fishing has been picking up. I have heard good reports from the west and the north but it is still slow out in front of the Salmon River. We have guides open for night walleye fishing in May/June. Lake Charters are also available for spring/summer salmon and trout fishing on Lake Ontario.

Steelhead fishing continues to be good. Water levels on the Salmon River are low 285cfs.
However it has been raining a bit so hopefully it will start to increase. Almost all the fish have been post spawn. It's been very crowded most days making it tough to find spots to stop. When ever the levels are low this tends to be the case. We have guides open for April steelhead fishing on the Salmon River. Charters on Lake Ontario for walleyes, brown trout and salmon for the spring and summer are also available. Our summer charter packages are the best deal in town, ask about our 2 days specials for July and save $$$.
Thanks!

Steelhead fishing on the Salmon River has been pretty good lately. The majority of steelheads we have been catching are dropbacks (post spawn). Water levels are low -500cfs and dropping steadily. Beads under floats are pretty much the goto rigs for good action.
Pressure has been up from both the bank and drift boat fishermen. We could use some rain really bad. The hatchery has collected all their steelhead eggs as of Friday. There are still a ton of fish in the hatchery that have to drop back down soon enough.
