Salmon River Fishing Report 2023 Pulaski NY. Salmon-Steelhead.
Great News! It’s Heating Up!
We have MORE Salmon in the river now, than we normally would at this time of the year!
With some ok to decent runs of mostly King Salmon with a few Coho Salmon from August to Now Sept. 11. With a few Brown Trout and Steelhead mixed in with the Salmon.
Over the last couple weeks, we received different #’s of Salmon entering the river on each individual day. Providing a mix of low #’s – ok #’s to good #’s of Salmon.
For this early in the season.
***The river is not loaded and you will have to work for them. And possibly, cover a bunch of water.***
Anglers are finding the fishing either slow, ok, good to great! Depending on a # of variables.
Mostly, steady sprinkling of Salmon spread throughout the entire river.
With most “holding” spots having anywhere from a few Salmon to many. Depending on the size of the spot and fish movement.
We also have daily movement of “some” Salmon that are in transition, as they run the river.
Many of these “Transitioning” Salmon are holding in their middle of the day, resting areas. Between approx. 9:30am to 6pm. Caused by sun light and their safety concerns.
Before continuing up the river until they have found a spot that satisfies all their survival instincts. (Normally the Pools)
These “Pool” Salmon will normally remain until approx. Oct. 1. When many will start to transition into the final stage of their life to reproduce.
Good reports out on the Eastern part of Lake Ontario from the Charter boats. More King and Coho Salmon are arriving daily.
Salmon fishing on the Lake has been over all good with some Lake Trout, Steelhead and Brown Trout in the mix.
We also have a BUNCH of Salmon staging out in front of the Salmon River in Lake Ontario. That are getting ready to enter the Estuary.
And then make the run up the river, once you arrive!
Expect a Good Run of Salmon if they raise the water level in the river. If they Flood the river, look for a MAJOR RUN!
Because ALL of these staging Salmon will RUN all @ once! With 3,000 Salmon in a day likely.
Everything is right on schedule for your Salmon River fishing trip! We still have a TON of Salmon yet to come!

Salmon River Fishing HUMOR.
When you accidentally hook a fish in the butt, what do we say about that fish? It had a very fast digestive trac. It ate it and then it got stuck on its way out.
Did you know?
(9/10/2023 AP) The N.Y. State D.E.C. just came out with a new report about 1 MAJOR side effect of eating SALMON. – Genital shrinkage!
If you lie about the size of your fish, I’ll swear to it!
I spend most of my $ on Wild women, Booze and Gambling. The rest is wasted.
A dead Salmon can float downstream, but it takes a live one to swim upstream.
Nothing makes a fish bigger than almost being caught.
There will be no King Salmon fishing in the cemetery. So you better do your fishing now, while your still able.
The HUMOR of Fishing reports!
A single credible report of a few Salmon in the Estuary and a few Salmon spotted in the lower river came in recently.
And I quote – “from 3 credible sources” to said, credible source. Sounds credible! (yuk-yuk)
It was reported that 3 separate anglers who were fishing over a 3 mile length of the lower Salmon River. Saw 1 King Salmon each.
Its inconclusive whether it was the same single Salmon running the river that all 3 anglers saw. Or 3 separate Salmon?
—
What helps to bring more Salmon in?
Cooler days and nights drop the Salmon River water temp. Higher water flows from the Dam or even run-off from rain.
Extended low-light periods caused by storms. A strong West wind. As the days grow shorter, it helps!

BREAKING NEWS! – The State plans to stock more Salmon this year to help feed the Orcas in Lake Ontario.

When will the BIG RUN of King and Coho Salmon happen this year on the Salmon River?
When fishing for King and Coho Salmon on the Salmon River. There isn’t a Guarantee for when the BIG RUN of Salmon well happen. When looking at the past 40 years, it only “suggests” what Monthly time period is normally, but not always, the most consistent year after year for the BIG RUN or Bulk of King and Coho Salmon to enter the Salmon River.
Early to mid. Sept. Salmon fishing “usually” means less anglers and normally less fish.
But we’ve had early BIG RUN’s mid. Sept. with the balance of Salmon entering thru the rest of Sept. into Oct.
Normally, Prime Time is the last week of Sept. and first week of Oct. for the BIG RUN to happen.
But years ago, the Bulk of Salmon came in later and mid. Oct. was great on the Salmon River!
Normally, the 2nd and 3rd week of Oct. your targeting all the King and Coho Salmon that have already entered and settled into their primary Fall Habitats.
Top to Bottom of the Salmon River, spread out.
So its tuff to forecast, but late Sept. and early Oct. is over all. Normally the best most consistent 2 weeks for the BIG RUN of King and Coho Salmon to happen on the Salmon River.
Don’t be surprised if there are a couple other anglers fishing during these 2 weeks. – har har.

Steelhead Fishing Salmon River Pulaski NY.
Our Steelhead are one of the hardest fighting fish that swims in the Salmon River in Pulaski NY. Torpedo – Silver Bullet runs and changing direction in a blink of an eye. While taking your line 100 to 200 feet out in seconds. This well surely jump start your fishing heart! Acrobatic Tarpon jumps, like a rocket ship 3-4 feet in the air. Somersaulting like a jugglers baton back to earths atmosphere before splash down. Sounding like a cinder block with water spraying 20 feet in all directions. Steelhead Tail Walks across the pool for 40 to 60 feet, will live in your Salmon River memory forever!
Randy, what’s the Forecast for this Salmon River NY Steelhead Fishing Season?
Good #’s of Steelhead in Lake Ontario this Summer!
Did you know? – With the New D.E.C. minimum size of 25 inches to keep 1 Steelhead, per person, per day.
This length size change is going to put 2 more year classes of Steelhead in the Salmon River for you! Ya-Hoo!
They easily met their egg quota last Spring at the Salmon River NY Altmar fish hatchery. With an over abundance of returning Steelhead.
Last Steelhead Season (Nov. thru April) the steelhead fishing was over-all pretty good, by most standards.
In Closing: My Crystal Ball says it will be a Good Steelhead fishing Season. Aren’t you glad you asked?
Salmon River Fall, Winter, Spring and April Steelhead fishing Pulaski NY.
Mid-week is always best for Steelhead fishing, but not on or around a holiday.
There really isn’t any BEST time for Steelhead fishing on the Salmon River in Pulaski NY. As we always have Steelhead in the River all Fall, Winter, Spring and April.
Its all angler personal preference.
I start guiding for Steelhead at the end of Oct. Which means Less Fall Salmon River Anglers targeting Steelhead = more opportunity for you.
In Nov. we start to see more Steelhead and more Salmon River anglers. It’s the busiest angler Month. Temps. aren’t to cold yet and its also when the steelhead fight the hardest. With speeding bullet runs, tail walks and somersaults.
In Dec. we start to see even more Steelhead and less Winter anglers. Most folks are doing business and family holiday stuff. And its a lil colder = Less anglers = more opportunity for you.
The middle of the Winter can be magical with only the most die hard Steelhead anglers out. During these colder Mo’s. = Less anglers = more opportunity for you.
Spring Steelhead. (Feb., Mar. and April.) With higher Spring “Run-off” water levels, this brings in the balance of our Pre-Spawn Steelhead. Adding even MORE steelhead into the Salmon River. After they Spawn, the Steelhead’s appetites are on fire as they slowly drop back down the Salmon River to Lake Ontario. Sight fishing is an optional treat.

I got a fish’n pole for my wife…… Best trade I ever made.
100% of the Salmon River steelhead are feeling their biological clock ticking towards the Spring Spawn. Making the Steelhead behave a lil differently, depending on what Stage of the Spawn they are in.
Currently, you have Steelhead in ALL 3 stages of the spawn.
1. Pre-spawn steelhead.
2. Spawning steelhead.
3. Post Spawn Drop Back steelhead.
Each stage is unique and puts different requirements on the Steelhead and causes the angler to adjust, in my opinion.
Spring Steelhead fishing on the Salmon River NY is Superb. You will have Spring Steelhead fishing from the Lower Salmon River to the Upper Salmon River NY thru April. Along with better than normal #’s of Brown Trout.
Catch more Spring Steelhead when your fishing Pulaski NY. When your Steelhead fishing in the Spring in Pulaski NY. It’s a Great time to Steelhead fish anything egg related.
Drop Back Spring Steelhead will sit directly behind spawning Steelhead to eat their eggs. Or sit behind the first current break directly below these spawning steelhead. To feed on any Steelhead eggs that float by them.
The entire Salmon River becomes a smorgasbord of an “All You Can Eat Egg Buffet” from spawning Steelhead. And its the easiest food for the drop back Steelhead to get, with lil to no energy expended.
April is one of the Best Times to go Steelhead fishing on the Salmon River NY. During the April Salmon River Steelhead fishing season. The April Steelhead spawning urges will take over on the river. And move the Steelhead to the Salmon River gravel. Once they finish spawning, they will turn into Hungry Post Spawn – drop back steelhead. When your Steelhead fishing in April. These are some of the easiest to catch Steelhead all season.
When our Local Creeks and Streams are running high due to snow and rain run-off in the Spring. These will provide you with optional Spring Steelhead fishing waters.
There really is no bad place to fish, providing you have the correct habitat – current breaks for this water flow, water temp. and the stage of life the Steelhead are in.
(Pre-spawn – Spawn and Post Spawn Drop Backs).
Spring Steelhead Guarantee – February, March and April Steelhead fishing Salmon River Pulaski NY.
February, March and April are great Spring Steelhead Fishing days in Pulaski NY. With fresh Spring steelhead fishing runs in Pulaski NY. Their biological clock is telling them its time to re-produce. Causing fresh Spring steelhead to enter, run and spread out over the entire Salmon River.

All Salmon River NY Spring Steelhead fishing methods will work. Whether your Steelhead float fishing, spin fishing, fly fishing or spey fishing in Pulaski NY.
Pre-Spawn Spring Steelhead fishing. Why is this important to you as a Salmon River angler? Spring Steelhead will be Pairing up in the Pools to prepare to spawn in Pulaski NY. Almost every female steelhead in the Salmon River will have 1 to 5 males in very close proximity or no more than 6 feet away. Often at this time of the year when you are blind casting, you will tie into 1 steelhead. There will often be a second or a third Steelhead in the exact same spot.
So normally where there is one steelhead, there is often another one or two. So cover your water thoroughly to increase your odds.
This tip comes with a $ back guarantee! My guest’s and myself have all bought that T shirt. It happens more than you would think!
Did you Know this about our Spring Female Steelhead? – By Catch and Releasing a Spring female Steelhead back into the Salmon River pool, you can usually keep on catching the Males. If you keep the female or fight her way down stream. All those males have no reason to hang around any longer and they will leave, looking for another mate. This leaves you with no more steelhead to catch.
Just like reeeel life, that female is the bait and is the only reason those buck’s are hanging around.
It’s similar to “last call” at the bar. Once the last girl leaves, you know longer have a reason to hang around. yukyuk
