The regulations for the Upper Fly Zone are now in effect.

Fishing is prohibited in this area until April 1, 2020.

We are now officially into some steelhead weather. While reports have been slow, a lot of anglers were able to land some catches. Calm conditions on Sunday brought anglers out first thing in the morning. Most of them were out of the water in order to stay ahead of the coming storm. A reminder that the Upper Fly Zone is closed for the Winter and will reopen on April 1, 2020. However, the Lower Fly Zone is currently open. Anglers who were fly fishing were having luck dead drifting nymphs.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation provides a weekly fishing report for the Salmon River and other fishable waters in Region 7 and the eastern portions of Region 8. The most recent report highlights that salmon are being caught in increasing numbers throughout the Salmon River, but especially in the lower river. Most fishing activity is occurring in the early morning and evening, with activity decreasing during mid-day and in bright conditions.
