9/01/10 - Today was a little warm and humid on the river. The river is at 335CFS and there are a few Kings in the river. Today the 1st King came into the fish cleaning station a 15lb hen.

08/30/10 - after a bunch of trips and several doubles i can finally write an update. well, august was a bummer of a month. we usually have our way with the fish in august with a bunch of limits but not this year. this year we had to work really hard to get a few. Dan and i averaged about three salmon a day, i had one 6 salmon day, when Dan i went out we caught a bunch in a couple of hours and it looked like things were going to get red hot but they did not. i also had some one fish days and throw in two skunks! i am going to blame the poor fishing on wind because i have seen a lot of fish and have those good days thrown in. i am going to be optimistic about September because it looks like temps and other conditions are finally coming together.

08/19/10 - 08/21/10 - the Salmon are around and there are some big ones as well however with the recent south winds getting them to bite has been tough. We are averaging about 3 for 7 fish landed per 6hr fishing trip with some nice Brown trout mixed in. With the low pressure system that is moving through right now and the 2-3 inches of expected rain I think that there will be fish starting to pile up in front of the Salmon River and a few will probably enter the river.

08/12/10 - Had a good day on the lake ontario today and perhaps the salmon are finally arriving. dan and i took don out for a 6hr trip today and he landed 4 kings, 1 coho and 1 laker. two of the kings were over 30 pounds and the silver was about 14 pounds. it was a great day and perhaps an indication that there are a lot of big fish headed this way!

8/11/10 - On 8/7/10 SRO catered a Pig Roast for the white water rafters / Adventure Calls Outfitters and everyone had a great time, here are some pictures that were taken.

8/11/10 - Thanks to Pete, Dave, Pete Sr, Jake, Mike, Ed and Ronnie for all the seafood it was great!!!!

8/11/10 & 8/10/10 - Pete & Dave brought a group from Rode Island and fished with us the last two days. They wanted to target Salmon because they already caught a mess of Brown trout in the spring. Salmon fishing was tough the last two days. We marked salmon, there are reports of a lot of salmon 325' down in 500 fow, but getting them to bite was a different thing. We managed to land three brown trout (6, 6 & 8 pounds) on Salmon Heaven and two salmon (14 & 21 pounds) on the Dan's boat. The second day we caught a Salmon and two brown trout (19, 4 & 4 pounds) on Salmon Heaven and a coho (12 - 14 pounds) on Dan's boat. We all had a good time and a wonderful seafood feast which is discussed above. They will be up in October to do some river fishing.

Yesterday the reports on the river were good, there are brown trout and atlantics in the upper fly zone and Al caught a ten pound Brown trout!

8/8/10 - Harry and Kevin were out on a 4 hour charter today. There was southwest winds that made it a slow day for fishing today they caught a small brown trout.

8/07/10 - after a strong blow on Friday and a lot of residual this AM, Al and his group were able to have a few good hours of fishing. The kings are starting to show up and they landed an 18 pound King and we lost a few (time to switch from the 12 pound leader), they also landed several 14-15 inch Brown trout which we released (one still with my spoon!) and three really nice Brown trout including a bulgy weighing in at 9 pounds. We all had a great time and we will see you in Sept!

8/03/10 - the Kings are not here yet but the Brown trout fishing is great. Rich and his buddies from Long Island had to fight over 40 fish today! Most of the Brown were around 6-8 pounds. Just a great time on the water! Although I have not had a chance to fish the river, there are many good reports coming to us of Atlantica, Steelhead and Brown trout. I have seen both Atlantics and Brown trout at the fish hatchery and off the Altmar bridge. Some of the charter boats have caught Atlantics in the 14-18 pound range all in their spawn colors heading into the rivers to spawn. There have been a couple of kings caught here and there, mostly in 650 fow, and I have heard reports of fish in the 34 pound class.

7-12-10 - Lake Charter for Salmon
