@@Handberrydea I moved out of the People's Republic of New Yorkastan a few years ago. I'm in GA now but I have my week picked out for next Sept!! I'm going to try that reel out. Is it the 9/10 weight? I may bring my 12' 6" noodle rod too, just for fun.
@@Handberrydea I listened to reports that no one was catching anything on the 14th. So I cancelled my vacation. I kept watching reports. On the 20th I heard a few salmon were running but the Browns and steelhead were already in. I went to 18 mile looked in the water usually you can see fishing running up river. Nothing. That night it poured rain. Temps dropped. The next night I look in the water. Salmon and trout every where. Running hard. I got in the river and fish were smashing into me left and right. It was constant action. I was catching steelhead and browns on beads left and right. Dude fishing next to me caught a 17 pound brown. I switched to a pink and white jig and the salmon were slamming it.
@@Handberrydea If you have an e-mail I'll send you pictures. I don't usually take my camera into the river with me. But I did for one day. The pics were the only fish we kept out of the probably 50 or more fish we caught. It is cold and raining hard. We only fished a few hours a day. Good times tho.
killer fishing with Chris and friends Thats awesome dude. It’s all about timing and where you are in the river. I shot this video Columbus Day weekend when everyone was complaining about the run being over. I ended up landing 20 salmon in one afternoon. My email is handberrydea@gmail.com
Nice video! The big run isn’t here yet, had some buddy’s tell me that a ton of fish are either about to move into the estuary or are still in there so about a week or 2 from now is going to be crazy! Stay at it bud👌👌
GetHookedTV My guess is that there will be a steady trickle of Kings for the next few weeks but I’m more excited for steelhead anyways. Are you local??
benjamin saurat I haven’t seen any steelhead yet but there are a few around. There are also a lot more big browns around. The third week in October is usually my favorite time to target chrome. You should do well forwards the end of your trip.
Hey man, ive fished the DSR for 15 years now and for the past 5 years have been trying to find what whole that is you guys are fishing? Could you help me out? I must be walking right past it. Spent 2 hours in January just trying to find it and still stumped.
Michael Cihlar I use straight floro. I prefer the straight flouro because it saves you a lot of time when you re-tie. That’s important when your battle fishing. Fly line gives you an advantage on your cast but the floro works fine
Here where I live in new england I used to get info from the dfw about where to catch certain fish and never seemed to get anything. Now when I get info from them I go to the opposite of what they say and we catch fish. Go figure.
We used to but it gets so crowded but a spot we use to always like was on the Island on the other side of coho hole go all the way down the tip. That is just up from the black hole and hold lots of fish
Mi_Hookset I would love to set the hook on a king with one of my frogging bait caster rods. What set up do you use? And do you fish it with a float?? Or bottom bounce
Handberrydea I use a float for them. I’ve got a Daiwa tatula Ct reel on a 12 ft 4 in okuma baitcasting rod with 30lb braid, then my weight leader that’s 25lb fluoro with a 1/2 ounce weight, then my actual leader on 22 or 20lb fluoro to the hook with an egg loop knot for skein. We do the same thing for steelhead, just step down with lower test line and then run two beads!
Mi_Hookset I want to start float fishing more with the center pin I just suck at it. A earth worm, bead or egg sack on a float is lethal for the drop backs in the spring. Thanks for sharing bud. You must fish late in the season or at dsr though. That setup is hard to fish when there’s a million guys in the river
heart & Soul 37 Muskie Trout you’d be surprised. My dad and buddy actually bumped up to 40lb braid and stepped down from there. We had 12 hook ups one day and lost 8 because our 30 lb test snapped and it was fresh braid! We were hooking into fresh kings and they were big!
I have two questions for you: I noticed a special paper bracelet with the date printed around your wrist. Is that a permit from DEC or private access? And is that a fly fishing area only or is spinning tackle permitted in the DSR? Thanks in advance and congratulations on the good fishing!
WOW.... Some Very Nice Salmon !!!! How lucky are you to have that Crazy Fishing on your Doorstep !!! What was your set up ? I have a smaller version of your reel 5/6 W Loved that Rod !!!
Michael Shaw It’s a four hour drive but worth it. The rod is a twenty year old 10 wt ugly stick. The reel i just got online. It’s one of the cheapest large arbor reels I could find. It held up well
@@Handberrydea Our big Atlantic Sturgeon have all returned to the ocean after the spawn but the smaller shortnose are still here. The biggest they grow is around 4 feet.
Deric Rood I used to really be against it but it’s worth the money to me just to beat the crowds. You can find fish anywhere in the river but it’s annoying to fish 2 ft away from other people who jump in your spot the second you chase a fish down stream. Dsr is a different more relaxed way to experience the salmon river. You don’t need to pay money to catch fish though
Ive been against it for the last ten years also but you are exactly right. Ice done week day trips and its no different. Combat fishing. This video kind of sealed the deal for me man you had the river to yourself. Crazy man. Awesome video keep it up if you ever are in north east pa and want to chase some wild brown and native Brookies hit me up
@@Handberrydea No i do not i dont have social media besides youtube. Stacking up film right now im going to try and get a channel going here soon. If you are ever in the nepa area message me on here brother
Don’t think so. If you were at the black where the river flows into it. That steep cliff face where all those crazy bastards fish I mean snaggers keep walking up there and that first island is the spot but don’t do that if you go on the Douglaston mao it is the very last hole also called coho
Dsr is the way to go. Usually that spot is packed. Going this next week can’t wait. Those ugly sticks are nice for putting the pressure on those big fish
David Mcnamara Yea I got a sage this year but feel weird about using it because I like to grab the middle of the rod and horse them in. Doing that will snap most rods. Do you ever fish public water up there?
Doubtful I ever pay Dsr for fishing in there. Can’t bring myself to fish in there when there’s plenty of river elsewhere just didn’t recognize that hole for whatever reason, Jam up video fish on!!!
Well. Coho run was sept 27 this year. And my birdies on the river yesterday mid river said fishing was good. Last Saturday I landed 4. But it was slow in the afternoon. No big run this year slow and steady trickle is my guess
K Dawg I put all the baits that I use in my description and described my baits/setup in the beginning of the video. Tressle or town pool are a few good spots to get you going. I was fishing in dsr for half of this video. Good luck buddy!
Hopefully pretty soon after one more nice push run hopefully and un tampered with "weather" personally just want less salmon and more Trout so i can actually fish.

Heck ya bro glad to see you when back up and kicking ass!
Quinn Hooper Thanks brother. Now I’m just buying time to get back up for steelhead

@@Handberrydea going to fish DSR from Oct 15th to 22th. Are steelhead in good number yet? Don't care of mud sharks

@@Handberrydea Thanks. Very few steelhead reports but I'm not very optimistic for this year... Seems a copy paste of 2016
Awesome catch!
Thanks man. You do any salmon fishing this season?
Handberrydea nope! No salmon here in alberta i would need to travel 8-12hrs to the other province if i want one. Maybe next time ill try it..
Sheesh that’s a long drive but it may be worth it! 👊🏾
Damn son you guys killed them👊 Cool to see all the fish at the end. You guys were in the money spot
Nattylite - Fishing We hammered the dirty kings but where are those lakers at?? 😭
Handberrydea ha hopefully this weekend. Think I need to be a rebel and go the opposite way as well lol
Nattylite - Fishing or we can just go to the same spot where you catch all your big browns. That’s fun too! 🤫

how did you like fishing straight mono? which do you prefer - straight mono or fly line?
Michael Cihlar I use straight floro. I prefer the straight flouro because it saves you a lot of time when you re-tie. That’s important when your battle fishing. Fly line gives you an advantage on your cast but the floro works fine
Pulaski fishing is so easy that's what's make it so great.
Ezra amen. Do you prefer fishing for steelhead or salmon?
Here where I live in new england I used to get info from the dfw about where to catch certain fish and never seemed to get anything. Now when I get info from them I go to the opposite of what they say and we catch fish. Go figure.
Looked like a lot of fun out there guys. Need more rain to bring some fresh fish in. Nice catches guys.
True North Angler Thanks man almost time for steelhead. Are you ready??
Handberrydea
I was born ready. 😂
I’ll be up at niagra Veterans Day weekend

Tight lines friend

Nice job, can't wait till the 17th.... Fish on

And is that a fly fishing area only or is spinning tackle permitted in the DSR?
Thanks in advance and congratulations on the good fishing!
Ralph Bonati the bracelet is an afternoon pass for dsr and you can spin fish or fly fish throughout the dsr run. Tight lines!
Went last week in Michigan got skunked only hooked one salmon on a rapala broke my new reel and snapped all the hooks of the rapala

Salmon is a late run this year.
Tightlinenation when do you think they’ll make the big push?
Well. Coho run was sept 27 this year. And my birdies on the river yesterday mid river said fishing was good. Last Saturday I landed 4. But it was slow in the afternoon. No big run this year slow and steady trickle is my guess

pardon my ignorance but are those dying fish any good eating?
no the meat quality goes down a lot when they have been in the river for a while
Even the fresh fish are nasty. Maybe a fresh steelhead
@@davidmcnamara7006 seems like a lot of east coasters dont know about bonk, bleed, ice on a fresh fish. many videos show poor effort to preserve the meat. avoid the dark fish they will be mush.
Absolutely disgusting but I know people who like it and they’re going to die anyways. I’ll be doing a catch and cook soon
They taste better when they are fresh but still have a muddy flavor. Steelhead are the best to eat but I rather release trout
