Salmon River, New York - Freshwater Fishing Report
off the Salmon river mouth
Shane Thomas

King salmon are moving closer and closer towards the Salmon River. Lake Ontario charters have been producing decent catches on most trips. There's even a few salmon starting up the Salmon River each day. On the last few charters out on the lake we've been fishing 50-60' straight off the river mouth. Salmon have been biting glow spoons, J-plugs and spin dr/flies down 10-20' off the bottom.

Going slower was the the key today-2.2-2.4 gps speed. A lot of BIG salmon have been taken lately, including a NEW world record coho caught on a charter boat out of the Little Salmon River - a whopping 34 pounds!!! We've had plenty of good kings in the mid 20s to low 30 pound range. We have dates open for charters and drift boat trips- including Sept. 4,8,9,10,11,15,17,18
