LODGING ON THE SALMON RIVER IN PULASKI NY 13142
 Are you looking for lodging in Pulaski NY? We are right on the Salmon River and have 125 feet of waterfront in our backyard. Roll out of bed and fish the Salmon River. We are not a "motel room". We are "apartment-style" lodging. Meaning, we have kitchens, coffee pot with fixn's, dishes, toasters, pots-n-pans, alarm clocks, cable tv, WiFi internet, and VHS/DVD players. Our lodging is CLEAN!!! The first thing people tell us when they enter their room is, "Geez, it sure smells nice." Our lodging is, "Wife Approved" and it's for anglers that want a clean and at home place to stay. Get a good nights rest at our place and put your wet waders on our boot dryers so when you wake up the next day you have nice warm waders to put on. Roll out of bed and be the first on the river and fish out back behind our shop at the "Town Pool", one of Salmon River's best fishing holes. Our lodging is SMOKE & PET free. Last but not least, our lodging facilities are in the same building as our fly & tackle shop. It's always great to get "inside" tips and tactics from us as we're guide owned and guide operated. A brand new restaurant called the "River House Restaurant" was built in the spring of 2007 and is now open all year directly across the street from us. Walk to everything you need: bars, food, shopping, prime fishing holes, fish cleaning stations, etc.
All of my rates are plus 11% NYS tax. A credit card is required for all reservations and security. My lodging rate is $50 per person per night based on 2. This includes private fishing behind my tackle shop and expert advice & tips from our full time guide staff. Our property is PRIVATE and only for our lodging guests. All trespassers will be arrested. 24 hr. security provided. The "Town Pool" is one of the best fishing holes on the Salmon River and it holds many trophy fish that are FRESH because we're only 3 & 1/2 miles from the mouth of Lake Ontario NY!!!
Our lodging is for serious anglers who want to go fishing, come back and relax and get sleep. It's not for people who want to stay up all night drinking and carrying on. Our lodging is clean, quiet, comfortable, smoke & pet free. 9:30 pm is "Quiet Time" We have FREE WiFi internet.

Available dates:
Next weekend 22 & 23, sorry no 21
Thanksgiving weekend 28,29. I will not rent one night on Thanksgiving weekend, I require a 2 night minimum. It's a busy weekend. Thank you for understanding. Double the rate if you want only Sat. night because I still need to make a living. My rates are higher because you can fish a pool behind my shop that holds many fish. Also you get honest, no B.S. Reports. If you are looking for "Cheap", I can't help you. |

Driftboat Trips On The Salmon River In Pulaski New York
 See any other anglers? This is how we like it when we take you on a driftboat trip down the Salmon River in Pulaski New York. It's a great way to see the river. We like to take our clients to secluded spots where steelhead hide and other anglers can't walk to by foot. You'll fall in love with the sound of the water slapping against the driftboat and enjoy seeing different types of wildlife such as turkey, deer, weasels, and pileated woodpeckers! If you have a hard time walking or you don't want to invest in a pair of waders, take a driftboat trip down the Salmon River with a co-worker or loved one. All you need is a NYS Fishing License. It's a great time and one that is told over and over again! Call us at 315-298-2466 to book. Steelhead & brown trout fishing is what's in season from November to May! Get in on some FAT pre-spawn December NY Steelhead. We measure our fish in pounds, not inches!!! |

Pulaski NY: Book Your Fly or Spin Fishing Trip With Us!
 We have experienced traditional fly fishing guides as well as spin, centerpin float, and spey fishing guides. Trust us to set you up with the "Right Guide" so you can learn the following:
1. equipment preparation
2. equipment function
3. fly casting, spin casting, centerpin float fishing, or spey casting
4. basic entomology (if you're fly fishing)
5. stream strategy (how to read water & identifying fish holding areas) 6. landing your fish 7. fish handling (to ensure future fish populations) 8. picture taking (how to take a fast & centered picture of your catch)
Rule of thumb: Get your fly or spin fishing guide first and then book your lodging since you can always find a place to lay your head but you can't always get the prime dates or driftboat guide if you wait too long. We have lodging and guided trip packages available all the time so give us a shout.
Drift boat or Streamside fly fishing trips are available from our full time fishing guide staff. Patient fly fishing guides who love to teach children are available. If your child can sit still for 5 minutes, then they're ready to go fly fishing. Please click on our "Fishing Trips" link to read more info.
CALL Dawn Rucando at 315-489-6115, last minute trips are always welcome! All I need is 24 hours to make something happen. Trust me to set you up with the "Right Guide" vs. you wasting your hard earned money on someone you might not click with.
To Speak or Book with John Rucando personally, please call:

| Skamania Steelhead: They're in the Salmon River NY |
 You can catch fish like this in the Salmon River pretty much all year round. The best time to catch them is from around the middle of May until around December. While they are steelhead, they are a different strain of steelhead. The Salmon River NY Fish Hatchery clips their adipose fin which is that "thumb-looking-like fin" on the top of their body before it's tail. If it's clipped, it's a Skamania
