By: Chris Shaffer With one major product launch in the rear and another weeks away I called Pautzke pros Stephen Shen of STS Guide Service and Andy Bliss of Chasin Tail Adventures and asked them if we could float New York’s Salmon River and make a video using our new Trout Eggs and the soon […]
By: Stephen Shen When fishing New York’s Salmon River with skein it’s important to have eggs that hold color in medium flows. Because we have such clear water we do like our eggs to milk, but visual appearance is more important than scent here. We aren’t trying to catch salmon in muddy or turbid water. […]
By: Troy CreasyJust when we thought the Salmon River and other Lake Ontario tributaries we’re going into a deep freeze the recent warm up and rain has opened the creeks back up. Rivers are now running at a higher than normal levels. In fact, it rained all day today and almost all the creeks are […]
By: Troy Creasy There’s been a lot of salmon swimming up the Salmon River this season. Most of them came in September and the river was loaded with fish. Right now we are eagerly awaiting another blast of salmon, which could come any day. I think the run will go through October this year. While […]

By: Troy Creasy Overall our steelhead season was slow and tough in Upstate New York. Our numbers are down. Fortunately, for us on the Salmon River we have the hatchery and it’s keeping us fishing now. This is drop back season and there’s a lot of drop backs in the river now. It’s safe to […]
By: Troy Creasy We struggled in November to catch steelhead on New York’s Salmon River, but things have turned the corner in recent weeks. After a frustrating November fishing is much better now. Keep in mind, our salmon were late and I think our steelhead were just late, too. I don’t think it’s a banner […]
By: Troy Creasy We’ve had very poor returns the last two years on New York’s Salmon River. Fortunately, this year has been a wonderful turnaround. It’s been great compared to the last two years. We haven’t had a run like this since 2013. It’s been a steady flow of salmon and they’re still coming. We […]
