March 2-3 steelhead fishing on the Salmon River and the Sandys

I fished with Joe from Philadelphia the past couple days on the Salmon River and North and South Sandy. The Salmon is still at 285 cfs but producing some great action. Also the Sandys are finally opened and producing fish. Joe landed 14 fish and had over 30 hookups in the two days! The steelhead action is heating up! Here are a few pics from the past two days

Feb 25 Steelhead fishing Salmon River

Fished the Salmon River today with Stan Pietrzyk, the owner of the Double Eagle Lodge in Pulaski. We fished the mid river in front of my partner Skeeter Scoville's property and did great. We landed around 10 fish total and lost more. Stoneflies and trout beads have been working the best. Here are a few picks from today.

Feb 13 Steelhead fishing on the Salmon River

I fished today with my good friend Waldemar Auguscinski out of his Willie drift boat in the morning in Altmar and landed two Steelhead along with one beautiful Coho Salmon. There was a lot of pressure up there and the wind was bone chilling so we decided to pull out at Pineville and wade fish the rest of the day downriver in the middle section of the Salmon River to get away from the crowds and hopefully warm up by moving. It turned out to be the right decision and we stayed warm and landed about seven fish in two hours. Here are a few pics from yesterday.

Feb 9-12

Ice fishing has been steady on Sandy Pond and Oneida Lake. We fished Oneida on Wednesday and it was a little slow but two days before my partner Jason Lawrence caught his limit of jumbo perch in the same location. The rest of the days my best friend Bucky, who just celebrated his 80th bday yesterday, and I fished locally on Sandy Pond and caught some beautiful perch, some nice bluegill, and a few bass. Here are a couple pics from Sandy Pond with Bucky.

Feb 4-5 Salmon River

Fished below the 2a bridge in Pulaski NY on the 4th for a few hours on Thurs. and hooked a few fish but only landed one Brown Trout swinging spey flies. The next day I fished with Ken Hubbard, a Pulaski alum I graduated with, in Altmar NY in the lowe fly zone for about an hour and didn't hook any so we headed down river and only hooked a few fish and landed one nice Steelhead. Very slow in the mid river lately. There have been good reports from Altmar down to Pineville where the largest consistancy of fish seem to be. Here are a couple pics from the last two days on the Salmon River

Jan. 19 Salmon River Steelhead

I fished the Salmon River with a friend for a couple hours and we landed a handfull of steelhead and lost a few more. It was a good bite for the short time we were out and good to fish in nicer temps than we've been experiencing. Here are a few Steelhead pics from the day

January 2

Fished the Salmon River today and it was tough with the cold temps and wind. We landed two steelhead and lost a few more in the lower fly zone. We lasted till about 2pm and decided to call it a day. Here are a couple pics from today.
