Conference wahoo::fishing

    Good catch Arnie, What part of the river were you fishing ???
    I went a couple of weeks ago and couldn't hook a thing in the
    river, although people were catching them all around us. What
    technique were you using ? We were more successful out in the
    lake with jplugs.

TTHATS GREAT!! GLAD TO HEAR THAT YOU HAD A GOOD TIME!! I PLAN TO
    GO UP TO PULASKI THIS WEEKEND. I WONDER IF YOU COULD ANSWER A FEW
    QUESTIONS FOR ME ?
    1 WERE ABOUTS ON THE RIVER DID YOU HAVE THE MOST ACTION ?
    2 DID YOU NOTICE ANY STEELHEAD OR BROWNS BEING CAUGHT?
    3 HOW MUCH SNOW DID THEY GET RIGHT IN THE PULASKI AREA?
    ANY INFORMATION YOU CAN GIVE ME WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECEIATED.

    WOW !!! ALL THESE QUESTIONS.... 
    OK....FIRST,THERE WAS NO SNOW IN PULASKI ITSELF,AS FAR AS I KNOW!!!
    WE LEFT AT 8am AND IT WAS FREEZING COLD BUT NO SNOW...THEY WERE
    EXPECTING SOME..
    SECOND.. WE FISHED WAY UP RIVER IN PINEVILLE AREA,ON ROUTE 48 UNDER
    THE BRIDGE.. A LOT OF FISHERMEN,BUT A LOT OF FISH,TOO!!!!!!
    I SAW ONE STEELHEAD CAUGHT AND NO KINGS OR BROWNS.... A LOT OF MALES
    ARE GETTING CAUGHT BECAUSE THE FEMALES ARE STILL ARE THE MOUTH OF
    THE RIVER..
    THERE WAS A LOT FISH BEING TAKEN AT THE BLACK HOLE IN PULASKI,BUT
    I CAN'T FISH ELBOW TO ELBOW LIKE THEY DO THERE..
    IF YOU HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS CALL ME,I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.

    Fished the river on the 3 & 4th. Had probably 25 fish on, but
    managed to land only 2. I think 17 lb test and fairly high water
    had something to do with it. The area we fished was on route 5
    probably 2 miles west of Pulaski. It costs $$ (4/car + 1/person)
    but I've always had good luck there. Saw 3 steelies caught, about
    7-8 lbers. There were a few browns caught, nice colors. The weather
    was wet on Saturday, beautiful on Sunday. Temps avg'd about 40-45.
    We stayed in a tent and it wasn't all that bad. If you're heading
    over this weekend it should be good.
    
    						Good Luck,

                            -< FINE FISHING FOR SOME >-
    
    
    A friend of mine went up to Pulaski around the end of Sept. He caught
    some nice fish the biggest Salmon being 32 lb's , 45" long.
    
    I just can't get into the fishing mood by standing shoulder to shoulder
    around a pool trying to snag fish, but thats just my opinion.

    I HAVE TO AGREE WITH YOU ON THE PACIFIC SALMON. THE MAJORITY OF
    SALMON TAKEN ARE SNAGGED,BUT THEY ARE GOING TO SPAWN AND DIE ANYWAY
    BUT THEY ARE ALOT OF FUN TO HOOK INTO AND PLAY WITH FOR AWHILE.THE
    REAL CHALLENGE IS WITH THE STEELHEAD AND BROWNS. BOTH SPECIES CAN
    RUN TO 20 LBS. OR BETTER, AND THEY DO BITE WELL!!! AS I HAVE STATED
    IN THESE NOTES BEFORE,STEELHEAD ARE THE MOST FIGHTINGEST FISH THAT
    SWIM. ONCE YOU'VE GOTTEN INTO THEM A FEW TIMES,YOU'LL BE HOOKED
    FOR LIFE. AS FAR AS THE SHOULDER TO SHOULDER FISHING GOES, IT DOES
    TEND TO GET HECTICK, BUT AS LONG AS YOUR GETTING INTO THESE FISH
    WHO CARES.                                                     
                                               
                                                    STEVE        

    Why is everyone SHOUTING in here????????

    Since you are talking about salmon, this might be an appropriate
    place to let you know of the record run that is going on in the
    northwest.  
    
    Right now the four year olds are coming in the bay and are running
    in the 50-60 pound range.  I went out last weekend and caught a
    25# hen, but there were a lot of people there catching them with
    some of them going up to 60#.  I read in the paper where there was
    a 70# caught, but they couldn't confirm it.
    
    This is a classic example of good game management as 6 yrs ago they
    thought the salmon run in the west would never recover as it was
    down so low.  Now they manage it so well, we are having more salmon
    in the rivers thean ever recorded.  They will close the Columbia
    down at times to allow those salmon that are headed for Idaho, Montana,
    and Wyoming to get through unmolested.

    
     I went doen to Oswago (spelling?) and did fine! I hooked between
    25 nd 30 fish and landed about 12. All fish were released but 2.
    
     I did snag a few but very few.. I did see some nice browns come
    out up to about 10 pounds.I also saw some steel head's but not as
    many. 
    
    I was under the impression that these salmon were chinooks not
    Coho's. The group I was with did well with fish up to 56 pounds.

    re. 10
    
    	Call 1-315-298-5560. They should be able to tell you whats
    going on over there. It's getting kinda late for the salmon, but
    maybe you'll get into some browns or steelies.

    THE SALMON RUN WAS AT ITS PEEK IN THE SALMON RIVER LAST WEEK! THE
    SNAGGING SEASON FOR THEM ENDED YESTERDAY 10/15.,SO YOU'LL HAVE TO
    FISH FOR THEM NOW!! THERE STILL SHOULD BE PLENTY OF SALMON AROUND
    FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER WEEK OR SO. TRY UPSTREAM IN THE SALMON RIVER.
    LAST WEEK A LOT OF BIG HENS HAD JUST ENTERED THE RIVER. WHEN THE
    SALMON FISHING DROPS OFF,THE STEELHEAD SEASON IS JUST GETTING
    UNDERWAY!! PLENTY OF FISH IN RIVER THROUGHOUT THE FALL AND WINTER
    MONTHS!!
    GOOD  LUCK, AND KEEP US POSTED ON YOUR RESULTS.DOPOFRPY

     I was up to salmon this past weekend and the fish are diffinitly
      in the river, they have made it up to the fish hatchery, only 
      problem the river is in flood stage because of the resivior so they
      are supposed to leave at least one gate open for about another 30
      days, but every one is still catching fish.
    
       Steve.

    Try calling the New York State Conservation Hot Line @ 607-753-1551.
    The reports are recorded messages and include not only the conditions
    in the rivers and lakes but also what the fish are most actively
    taking for bait... Good Luck, when you get back from your trip
    let us all know how you did up there.... I'll be heading that way
    on the 18th and would like to hear about the hot spots....
