Salmon River - Freshwater Fishing Report
Cold and Snow!!!!!!!!!!
We are getting pounded with heavy lake effect snow, high winds and cold temps this week. While we toughed it out and did OK over the weekend, temps are now plummeting and the river is turning to slush. There is over 60 inches of new snow on the hill but this is good news for snowmobilers and for the spring, as we need that water to raise lake levels and prolong the May steelhead season.
This is a good time to catch up on things around the house and prepare your tackle for the next time we get a warming trend.
