Salmon River Update 23 July, 2015

Salmon River Update – 23 July 2015

With average water temps ten degrees cooler than normal, accompanied by high flows, you can be assured that we have fish throughout the entire river system.  Increased flows will bring in the Atlantic Salmon and for eight weeks now there have been reports of Atlantics in the Upper Fly Zone. Don’t forget: no weighted flies, lines, or leaders until August 15. Be sure to check the specific Salmon River and Tributaries Angling Regulations Section of NYSDEC Freshwater Fishing Regulations before heading out.

Another year of significant brown trout stocking at the Douglaston Salmon Run offers plenty of options when visiting the property. The smallmouth are still biting throughout the run, with some pike and carp in the lower end, in addition to a few reports of Atlantics spotted. It won’t be long before the big boys will be in; stay tuned!

Resident Brown trout are being caught on flies in the Pineville area and will offer evening excitement for just about any fly angler willing to put in the time. Expect a few surprises along the way and keep your eyes out for an Atlantic Salmon.
