One of our sales guys just sent us photos from his recent steelhead trip to New York’s Salmon River. The trip was epic; four days, three anglers, 80 fish caught. He’s been grinning for weeks. We’ve posted the pictures here.

By James Gigliotti Fishing the Salmon in late April is a crapshoot. The water levels vary greatly depending on temperature, the snow pack on the Tug Hill plateau, and a number of other unpredictable factors. We hired a guide on the first day to help us dissect the river, then spent the next few days on our own. It proved a good plan; the water was high, but with our guide's help we immediately started hooking fish on back-trolled plugs. The rest of the trip was even better.
