Snagger Hoodies Exclusively SOLD Here

BACK: Snagger HoodieBack: SNAGGER logo with arrow facing either LEFT or RIGHT.  VOTED the most outrageous hoodie on the Salmon River in Pulaski NY. 

Snagging is illegal on the Salmon River in Pulaski NY however everyone seems to either snag a rock, a tree, themselves, their friends, and even a fish....hey, it can happen.  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"????  Personally I think we're all Snaggers in one way or another.  Have fun with the hoodies....that's what their meant for and be sure to email us your Snagger shots....so we can put you in our Snagger album!!!!

About the Owner, Dawn A. Rucando

Dawn A. Rucando, Owner & GuideHello everyone!  I'm Dawn Rucando and I'm the owner of Yankee Fly & Tackle Shop as well as www.FishTheSalmonRiver.comSnagger--->, and "Salmon the Other Pink Meat" T-shirts.  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 me!  "Here Fishy Fishy"......315-489-6115.
