Steelhead fishing on the Salmon River has been tough lately. We have been working hard to put a few fish in the boat each day. Today was better but not good - that is for sure. There has been fresh chromers coming through mid-lower river but not alot just yet. Water levels are @1000cfs. We have plenty of dates available for spring/summer drift boat trips and Lake Ontario Charters.
