Thinking of fishing the salmon run up the rivers on the east shore
of Lake Ontario around the Sept. 3-6 timeframe. I've done this before
and am already familiar with the circus conditions up there. However,
the Sandy and South Sandy Creeks seemed to have a lot less fishing
pressure. I will probably avoid the Salmon River altogether.
My questions are:
1. Are the salmon running on Sandy/South Sandy in this timeframe?
What are the most likely holding spots?
2. Are there any other lightly-fished streams (relatively speaking)
that are worth hitting
(I'm willing to drive a distance to get to them)?

a couple of other rivers come to mind in that area.
one is the Grindstone Creek which is only a few miles away from
the salmon river. the other is the Black River which is quite a
distance from the Salmon. It is right outside Watertown, N.Y.
It does get it's share of pressure,but i believe the run is early
there.

| 838.2 | low waters | RUTLND::LEE | Wed Aug 31 1988 19:51 | 7 | |
I just got back this week and the rivers and creeks are
real low,because of this the salmon are still out in 85' of water
and unless they get some good rain it will be later before the salmon
head in.Last week the fishing was great,caught 22 kings and 1 coho
in 4 days
GOOD LUCK
Bob

| 838.3 | TOO EARLY---STAY IN THE LAKE!!! | USRCV1::FRASCH | Thu Sep 01 1988 17:00 | 10 | |
Ususally the Salmon ar not in the river this early. They will stay
out in the lake and feed until about the 15th of Sep. If your going
this early, suggest you have some means to fish varied depths off
shore.
Once in the rivers, they usually don't feed at all. Some will as
they come in, but once they get serious about spawning, the feeding
is over. If you are intent on fishing the river, fish the VERY lower
part in a drift boat, or with egg sacks from shore. Its tough to
fish the Salmon River from shore near the mouth.
