The 2025 Salmon River salmon run is quickly winding down here in Upstate New York, and overall it’s been a solid season. Even with low water flows and bright sun almost every day, the fish showed up and gave us plenty of action. We had some incredible mornings when the migration was steady, and though […]

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 […]

Fall Season

The fall season is approaching quickly and it won’t be long before the first push of salmon will enter the river. Open Dates – Due to cancellations I only have September 18, 19 & November 7th open all fall.  If your looking to book a trip for any of these dates, I suggest not to […]

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 […]

Trout Fishing

TROUT Fishing on the Ausable has been very good recently, nymphing during the day or chasing hatches for some dry fly fun towards evening have been productive. The streams of central NY are fishing good as well and the Salmon River received  a small stocking of some Browns that have been fun to catch especially […]

Guided Trips & Fishing

Pauls Guide Service, Spey salmon river.

NYS has put a temporary ban on guiding in New York under the “PAUSE Executive Order” until further notice.   While we have already stopped doing any trips before this went into effect for everyone’s safety, we’re still are booking trips for the fall.  This it a tough time for all of us and I’ve been […]

Swinging Into The New Year

As we come to a close of 2019 looking back it has been a great year.  Maybe not in fish numbers, but in fishing experiences.  More and more clients are enjoying swinging flies with two hander’s each season and are working hard on their casting and skills to fish thru a run move effectively.  And they […]

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 […]
