September through April
The Salmon River is located in
Pulaski NY on Lake Ontario's eastern shore, 30 miles north of Syracuse.
Its reputation for large runs of Salmon - Steelhead and incredible average
size of all species is unsurpassed by any other fishery in New England.
September 1 - October 31 -
Tackle busting King Salmon averaging 10-20 lbs. will
amaze you with their freight train runs. Trying to harness the raw power
of a 12 lb Coho Salmon running in 20 different directions in a blink
of an eye will keep you on your toes (and hopefully not on your back!)
October 15 - November -
Brown Trout. Like Salmon and Steelhead you measure these Fish by the
pound and not by the inch.
They have entered the river to spawn and will weight from 3-10
pounds. While they are not as numerous as the Salmon or the Steelhead,
these are an optional trophy of a Fishing life time.
.October 20 - May 1 - Steelhead 8-15
lbs. The Fall Steelhead is without a doubt, one of the hardest fighting
Fish that swims in the Salmon River NY. They'll take you into your backing
in seconds, then jump start your heart with tail walking antics that
will live in your memory forever.
Winter - This is one of
my favorite Drift Boat Guide Fishing times of the year. With colder temperatures
the crowds disappear. Steelhead continue to come into the river from the
lake. A winter Drift Boat trip aboard our heated Drift Boat is a great way
to learn the river and experience it's beauty. The end of February, March
and April are great Steelhead Fishing days as new Fish move into and
out of the river on a daily basis. As the river temperatures rise, so does
the aggressiveness of the Steelhead. Often, sight fishing is possible as
they move into the shallows.
We can Spin or Fly Fish for Salmon or Steelhead either by wading
or using the Drift Boat..
I invite you to join me and enjoy
what is an unquestionably one of the finest fresh water fisheries in
the eastern United States.
Thank you for several memorable
trips this year. The highlight of the year was definitely the outing
on the Salmon River during September
with my son for salmon. Never have I experienced such numbers of
large and aggressive Salmon in all my 45 years of fishing. I estimate we
had over 60 hook-ups on King Salmon and caught and released 12, two of
which were between 30 and 35 pounds. Close behind was the spring trip for
Steelhead on the remote stretch of Pucker-brush Creek. Seeing over 2 dozen
Steelhead in a one mile stretch, with no one else around, reminded me of
Alaska. After those experiences, I decided traveling to the Northwest Territories
for lake trout and grayling or to Labrador for brook trout are a thing
of the past and I will concentrate on the quality of fishing available
in New York State and Cape Cod. If you ever need a recommendation, I would
be pleased to provide one.

Note: If you don't recognize
"Pucker-Brush Creek", that is one of my secret creeks where Steelhead
abound in a beautiful , pristine environment without many or even any
other anglers.

At 16 feet, this 285 pound guide drift boat is comfortable and a very stable platform . It is outfitted with a propane heater to keep you nice and toasty on even the coldest days. While you can Spin or Fly fish from the drift boat, I will often stop to let clients wade and fish a particularly productive run on the Salmon River NY.
When the Steelhead or Salmon are concentrated in particular locations wading is the preferred option. At other times a drift boat is the only way to get to the fish. While I will give booking anglers a recommendation, you may want to experience one method over another. All you have to do is ask.

Randy,
What a great day, just when I thought I knew a little something
about steelhead fishing I had to fish with you. You really are
a class act. I really appreciate you sharing your expertise and
patience as well as some of your "honey" holes with me. I would encourage
any steelhead fisherman, novice or expert, to fish with a guide even if
it's just once, and if they can get Drift Boat Guide Randy Jones they're
in for a great day. There is so much to learn about this sport and
you can trim years off the "learning curve" by fishing with a real pro
such as yourself. Thanks again for the fun and truly a learning fishing
experience. And thanks for not mentioning that "hog" that snuck through
the hole in your net.
