Lower Salmon River Fishing Report – Browns & Steelhead on the Swing

  We’ve been seeing some solid action on the lower Salmon River lately, with a good mix of brown trout and steelhead showing in the pools. Right now, you’ll likely need to fish through a few browns before connecting with a steelhead—but that’s not a bad problem to have. Both species are actively taking swung […]

Fall Steelhead

  Steelhead season is in full swing now and with the recent snow on the ground and flows increasing its setting up for a great rest of the season.  Swinging flies has been pretty consistent now with number of fish in the river. I’d say 90% of my clients are changing over to swinging flies […]

2021 Here We Go

With 2020 behind us lets hope 2021 is better for all of us. I want to thank each and every client who fished hard and worked for every bite, you guys are awesome.   After a long fall season with low water, crowds and less fish around then we all would like it’s nice to […]

Fall Run

The Fall Salmon run is well under way and despite low water it has been pretty good.  There has been some good pushes of fish over the past week with some brown trout and steelhead mixed in.  It’s almost time to breakout the two handers and start swinging, hopefully mother nature starts dumping some rain […]

Salmon Season Is Underway

Pauls Guide Service, Spey salmon river.

 The Fall salmon run is well underway now.  It started off good but the weather was too summer like this past week and slowed things down. Hopefully more Fall like weather will return soon because steelhead  will hopefully  start showing up once the water cools down.    Who’s ready to catch some steelhead?? The NYS […]
