Salmon River - Freshwater Fishing Report
We are into October and the fish are here!!
This was a super busy weekend with people from top to bottom. The economy may be bad but it is salmon season and the crowds are fierce! Reports were fair to great, depending on who you talked to and where they were. The major pools throughout the Salmon River are loaded with kings and Coho's. Everyone is catching fish! 81 Pool, Compactor, Sportsman, The Trestle and the gravel above the Sportsman pool are all holding good numbers of salmon.
The fishing in the lower end of the river was steady with good numbers of kings, moving through there throughout the weekend. The Douglaston Salmon Run reported another steady day of good King fishing with some steelhead and browns mixed in. Suggested patterns are comets, nymphs, large stoneflies and streamers. For the bait fisherman, blue, pink and chartreuse egg sacs have been the preferred colors of choice. Please remember to be careful, respect the water and use caution when wading.
The cool temperatures helped to improve the fishing in the Oswego River. Fresh salmon and a good push of trout has made their way into the river. Larry from the salmon shop said that fish are spread throughout the river and the fishing is great. The water level is still low about 9500 cfs. Look for the most action from the Utica St. bridge to the dam. Egg sacs, skein, wooly buggers and egg pattern flies, are working well.
On Oneida Lake Perch fishing is very good. Fish in the shallows, in the weeds, around the weeds and in deep water; it all seems to be working with fathead minnows being the choice bait. Nightcasting for walleyes has not materialized although an occasional one has been jigged up in deep water. The water temperature is 60 degrees and things will pick up as the temperature drops into the mid 50s.

Have fun and stay safe!
