Looks like the fall lake run fishing is getting off to an early start. As many of you already know there has been a few stray Chinook salmon trickling into the Salmon River over the last few weeks. River conditions and water temperatures have been cooler than normal for this time of year. Coming into this weekend, Labor Day weekend I am anticipating seeing at a decent shot of salmon. Water flows for this coming Friday night are supposed to increased to a release of 750 CFS from 185 CFS. With river conditions and Salmon activity, it is very possible that this weekends fishing can be interesting to say the lease.

For the trout fishing not much has change them same bitch of bugs. However for this time of year, water conditions are excellent. Just keep in mind, the trout know the game. Fish carefully, be sneaky and use long leaders.

Note:

For the upcoming Labor Day weekend I still have Saturday September 2 in Monday September 4 open.  If you’re interested do not hesitate to call. Cell 585-233-0436

I also still have prime days available for mid to late September. This is salmon fishing at it’s best. They’re still way off from spawning and when hooked up they are very angry, lots of fun.

For those of you we have not received my fall newsletter here it is:

Fall is coming. We will be fishing the tributaries before we know it.

It never ceases to amaze me how fishing conditions can change from one year to the next. The way conditions are shaping up waterfalls should not be a problem this fall. I’m sure everyone has heard about the lake levels and shoreline flooding. As of now the lake levels are coming down and we should not have any trouble with Lake levels this fall. As for the rivers we should not have any issues with water flows, at least low waterfalls. Also the fishing reports I am receiving from the lake fisherman are extremely good this year. In fact some of the best reports I have heard in a few years. The lake fishermen have been recording both good numbers of salmon and decent sizes of these salmon. We have good too high water falls in all of our rivers throughout the summer. Also have good water temperatures, suitable for the salmon at this this time. As of writing this newsletter the Salmon River has had a few Chinook salmon in the River system already. Judging by the conditions, I am anticipating an early start to the salmon run this fall. Time will only tell but conditions are looking good.

Also I have been hearing about a fair number of steelhead showing up in these catches. Us steelhead fishermen need to keep in mind that right now the Lake fisherman are concentrating on salmon, not steelhead. As a result I would expect the numbers of steelhead being caught right now to be low. However the steelhead fishing has been way better this summer out on the lake than it has been the last three years. Hopefully we will see a sharp improvement in the rivers this fall.

When it comes to the brown trout, I am hopeful. I do know that the brown trout did not get beat up by the Lake fisherman this year. Earlier in the spring lake levels are so high lake Fishman were not able to launch there boats. There was not much fishing activity this year focused on the brown trout. This could mean more fish for us. Also if the wet weather continues into November like it has this summer. We could be in for some great November brown trout fishing.

This fall we will be once again offering our late summer early fall mix bag fishing. This is fishing salmon in the morning for either Atlantic salmon or Chinook salmon depending on availability. Then heading off to the Brook trout water for an afternoon of trout fishing. This is a great opportunity for anyone looking for some solitude.

Fall fishing schedule;
