Daily Reports on Cape Cod and the Salmon River are available at " Fishing Reports"

As a year around fishing guide, I'd like to share with you my opinions and ideas on fishing supplies and clothing.

I believe in providing my guests with only the finest equipment and accessories available.

Orvis - The best in fly fishing clothing,  equipment  and accessories. Need I  say more? http://www.ORVIS.com   For free technical information call 1-800-235-9763.

Mustad - Whether its fresh or saltwater, their hooks are super strong and razor sharp. I've tried them all. Their quality is unsurpassable! http://www.mustad.no   or e-mail: jeff@mustad-usa.com.
Saltwater -
Mustad Signature series - S71S-SS  or C70S-D or C47S-D
Salmon River, Pulaski, NY. - New Mustad Signature Series Hooks - CO68 Wet/Nymph Caddis - 2x Heavy / 2x Short

Seaguar Fluorocarbon - http://www.seaguar.com/ Most of my friends who guide on the Salmon River (Including myself) use their Fluorocarbon during our 8 month fishing season for all species of fish. Most of he TOP fishing guides in the World use this. Tuff, strong, almost invisible and hard to beat in the Floro. market. Their Grand Max is, if not the BEST, at the very top of the line for top shelf fluorocarbon lines. This is not my opinion, but comes from scientific study, research from laboratories who have compared it with all of the other top fluorocarbons in the market place concerning breaking strength, visibility in the water and more. (Compare Seaguar's diameter and breaking point  (pound test) with your favorite Floro. and you will see what I mean)

Ande Monofilment  -  Summer or winter, fresh or saltwater, Ande has a superior line of mono to satisfy all my spin fishing needs. Call (561) 842-2474.
Please visit http://www.andemonofilament.com

Water Gremlin - When the fish are deep your fly line can't get down to them, I use Water Gremlin split shot in various sizes to do the job. Easy to add or subtract for the perfect drift, whether I'm spin or fly fishing.  http://www.watergremlin.com .

Cortland Running Line - My #1 choice when drift fishing with a fly rod. Cortland specializes in running lines in all different diameters that I need for different river conditions and species of fish. Visit: http://www.cortlandline.com

Cumming Nets - I know a lot of guides on the Salmon River and Cape Cod. All agree that Cumming Nets are quality tools. They have a wide variety of choices for all species of fish and fishing styles. Call (810) 736-0130. http://www.cumingsnets.com/index.htm

Glissen Gloss TM - Estaz TM and other fine fly tying products-A large number of flies I use with my guest's on a daily basis are tied with Regular Estaz, Estaz Grande or Petite Estaz TM . Whether it's Salmon or Steelhead I'm targeting. All the right colors to choose from. Several Glissen Gloss fibers are excellent for hand-tying custom flies. Take a look at either their Fly-Tying section or their Estaz section for more details and product examples.  877-480-1010 (Toll-free)
http://www.glissengloss.com

PowerPro Microfilament line- After receiving several recommendations from angler's and guides I've decided to use it exclusively for my spinning rod trip's on the Cape where Im using bait and lures for Stripers and Blues. I understand that it gets very little line twist and the diameter is amazingly small. Meaning you will be able to throw it further with less friction and get more strength with a smaller diameter line. It also does not stretch so your hook set's are immediate. Their tool free number is 1-800-650-8003 and web address is http://www.powerpro.com
I'll continue to use Ande Mono for all of my Salmon River fishing need's.

Fishing Report from a close friend:
My 6 year old son Taylor and I hit the
River this am for his first Salmon fishing trip. While the rain did bring the river up a bit and reduce the clarity we still had a great time. Of the 30 or so people that were fishing the bank within our view, Taylor was the ONLY angler to hook and land anything. He did a great job, landing 2 of 3 Salmon he hooked up. The first was around 18lbs and the second was around 10lbs. The 10 pounder was fresh in and put on one heck of an air show for us and burned almost 150 yards off the reel on the first run.  The one that broke his leader on a zebra mussel covered rock looked to be around 25-30lbs. When Taylor asked one other angler if he had caught anything, the guy replied “Nope, nothing so far and it looks like you’ve caught them all.” He did a fantastic job fighting the fish and even caught a few bonus salamanders between fish.

The new Pautzke Fire Cure in Red proved once again to be the ticket.  It is just amazing to see so many other anglers out on the water having no success while we hook up regularly.  While we only hooked up 3 fish, we missed several others and we were only fishing for around an hour and a half and nearly half that time was spent fighting fish.
Taylor made sure to tell the other guys around us that we were using Mr. Yano’s top secret Fire Cure. The hook of choice was the Mustad Ultra Point 92569FC in size 4.  He handled the 10’ 6  Lamiglass armed with Shimano Sustain 4000 very well. Both fish were handled carefully and released. Attached are a shot of each fish . . .

Best Fishes, Jeff Pierce
