New York’s Salmon River is a famous
New York State fishing Mecca thanks to the schools of big trophy-size
fish from Lake Ontario that swim through its lower 16 miles. Crowds
of anglers come to this most challenging of New York rivers to test
their skill and their muscle against the strength of the many species
of trout and the enormous Chinook Salmon that dwell here, as well as
the Salmon River’s powerful, fast-flowing current.
The major fishing season on the Salmon River starts in the late fall
when the 1st large runs of migrating salmon and trout begin to appear,
but there’s fishing to be done through of the year, and steelhead
can be caught in numbers into November. All types of shore fishing is
done on the Salmon, but fly-fishing remains one of the most popular,
not because it is easy, but because it is especially challenging here.
