 | Skamania Steelhead: Warm water fish |
  The summer months in Pulaski New York are a time when many anglers like to explore the Salmon River NY without the fall salmon run crowds. It's a time of year when there's peace and quiet and plenty of opportunity to catch Summer Run Skamania Steelhead Trout. You can swing flies or cast dry flies if you prefer to fly fish. If you use artificial baits & lures, we recommend
Mepps spinners & bubble gum worms.
The limit is one Skamania Steelhead per person even though most summer anglers release them. You can expect to catch a Skamania Steelead as small as 5 pounds and as big as 24 pounds. If you don't believe me, come ring my doorbell at my shop and I'll be happy to show you the 24 pound male Skamania Steelhead that's mounted on my wall. How can you tell if it's a Skamania Steelhead and not an Atlantic Salmon? Just look above the tail and you'll see a little nub. That's where the Salmon River NY Fish Hatchery in Altmar NY clipped it's adipose fin. You'll also notice that there will be a half of a left pectoral fin (the fin below it's gill plate). An Atlantic Salmon will have lots of black spots all over it's top section with a tail that's more triangular. Send us your pictures if you have a hard time identifying what you've caught. We'll let you know. Good fishing! Note: Our shop is open by appointment or by ringing our doorbell. We do not maintain regular summer hours. If we're home we will gladly open our doors for shopping.

A good rule of thumb: Amateur Anglers or Thrill Seekers want lots of fish which = lots of people. All weekends from Labor Day to Columbus Day are the busiest. Sept. 3-Oct. 11, 2010. Holidays such as Veteran’s Day Nov. 11, 2010 and Thanksgiving Nov. 25, 2010
Spring time from April 1-May 1, 2011 with Good Friday April 22, 2011 & Easter April 24, 2011.
Intermediate & Experienced Anglers tend to want less people & aggravation.
We recommend: All weekdays period and to stay away from the weekends and holidays! Anytime of year is fine because these anglers are happy with whatever they catch just as long as they’re not being encroached on while fishing.
