It's all in the "intent" and while there are downright "SNAGGERS" out there, we don't condone Snagging and it is strictly enforced by the DEC officers. Do you know a "SNAGGER"????

About the Owner, Dawn A. Rucando
 Hello everyone! I'm Dawn and I'm the owner of Yankee Fly & Tackle Shop. YFT has been around since 1982 and was started by Richard Mainolfi who was from CT. He loved to fish the Salmon River and bought the building which is one of the oldest buildings in downtown Pulaski New York (est. 1860's). He "retired" in 2001 and I bought the business in 2002. The lodge was opened in 2004 and the Premier Guide Service in 2005. I book trips for several local guides in the area and prefer to book full time guides first vs. guides who have full time jobs and only work the weekends. You can say I"m an "advocate" for full time guides as I too am a guide myself and I know how difficult it can be to make a living at just guiding alone. It is a great job and to make people happy and teach them how to catch that fish, well, it's very rewarding to say the least. There are several guides in the area and while some are local and many are not, choosing the right guide can be difficult and a crap shoot! The Salmon River NY is a serious river that has serious salmon, steelhead, brown trout, rainbow trout, etc. Our river has trophy fish that are measured in pounds, not inches ALL year long and if you want to mark it off your "Bucket List", Call or Email Dawn Rucando. |

| Atlantic Salmon in Pulaski New York |
 I knew as soon as I saw this picture that it was an Atlantic Salmon and not a brown trout as the PA angler who caught it thought it was. This is a sought after fish and to catch one on the Salmon River NY is something to be able to

It's the perfect conditions for Spring Steelhead fishing on the Salmon River in Pulaski New York and the best thing is: there's nobody around! Paul knows this and books his trip accordingly and also knows to hire a local guide. It's still happening and it's worth it.
