Instantly subscribed. Live in a small town by binghamton and have been thru pulaski many times, never even knew about salmon river. Gonna plan a trip up in the summer.
Good video, good drone footage, and good explanation of the unique dynamics of this very popular fishery. PS Those people that complain about revealing hot fishing spots seem like, well, selfish people, who don't want other people to enjoy the great fishing they enjoy. Let's love our fellow man more than that. Keep up the good work Pautzke.
Not true at Douglass place you pay a lot of money to fish there we all hate it...the honey holes we locals try to keep for ourselves witch are the creeks in pulaski richland and sandy creek I can tell you guys about places that would blow your minds...I don't care I will share some of the (secret places) just not on TH-cam I own a bar in sandy creek named busters pit stop 2 when you come up again stop in and we can talk I've been fishing the creeks for over 40 years you would love it most of us locals never fish the river way to many people anyway my name is up above so stop in
I went there last September and booked two a two day charter on the lake. The first day out was awful. It was cold, rainy with 3’ chop. Got bad sea sick but toughed it out though we only caught two decent Cohos. Next day the weather was perfect. Caught a 28 and 24# King and an 8# Brown Trout. After the Charters on the lake I tried the River but to be honest I didn’t know what I was doing and saw only a few others catch anything so it was slow going on the River.
Great footage guys! Thank you. Still waiting to catch my first salmon, maybe Monday 10/19 with my wife on the Salmon River. I just got her hooked on fishing, and she'll probably outfish me, lol. Spent a few hours at Oswego on 10/15 but went home disappointed; not one hookup. I'll use the 10% perk and get myself some good fireball salmon eggs to use on the Salmon River this winter.
I fished the salmon river when snagging was legal. I also fished the black river in Dexter, NY. To be honest, the fishing sucks there along the salmon from Pulaski up stream to the hatchery. You get wall to wall idiots who will mug you for your fishing spot. And that private stretch on the salmon is no better. I feel sorry for the people who hire guides and book times along private stretches of the river. Most of the time these Gucci upped idiots will be the ones who are the most rude people you will ever meet. To catch late season king salmon all you need is a 8 to 10ft spinning rod rated light to medium action, 15lb test line, decent hooks (mustad hooks are a safe bet) salmon roe dipped in a vasoline Berkley trout/salmon scent mix, and it is game on. I do not recommend using fly rods. These fly fishermen will use light tippets and leaders and will play the fish until it is caught. Playing a fish for long periods causes the fish to build up lactic acid which will kill the fish. If you like fishing in a commando hand to hand combat setting, book a trip to Douglas Salmon Run and get ripped off. You will pay a hefty price to fish a crowded pay to fish area and you will not even catch ffg fish in this over fished river.
Why are you running fly rods with bait in shallow runs? Seems more like flossing. And I dont know what the standard is for Midwest Salmon is, but those are Boots. Ready to spawn and shit for eating and fighting quality.
Exactly. It is flossing. The Salmon River attracts all types. I've been there several times. Not good. Surfcasting rods with 50 lb. test ripping weighted bare hooks in the shallows.
Flossing is determined by the leader length and if you swipe / pull at the fish with the excess line. You can dead drift or swing some eggs with a short leader with no issues. Not saying everyone at the salmon river is perfect or a great sport, but you can drift and hook fish and have it not be flossing
Great Video and it's inspired me to go Salmon fishing today at Pulaski Salmon River where you are fishing it's owned by private property it's called Douglas Salmon run it's a and they charge $85.00 per person to fishing at Douglas run you have to book that place in advance to fishing in that spot
DSR prices up to 105 a day I believe I always wanted to fish it but the prices to me seem like if you get skunked you spent that money for nothing. But when the fish are there they are nice and fresh.
Those are some impressive sized chinooks and steelhead for coming out of a freshwater lake rather than the Pacific Ocean, the forage must be tremendous in Lake Ontario.
Awesome video! Great job. Question. I know you guys fish with fly rods, but I'm looking for a spinning setup for steelhead and salmon. Any suggestions? I'm looking at a 9 foot 9 in rod, rated from 6 to 12 lb line. Is that enough for the kings as well? I know it's an awesome steelhead rod. Thank you
I used a Noodle rod spooled with 10# test and had both awesome fights and landed many kings and Cohos in the 20 # range. Rod is 12 feet long I think and a old school Mitchel 300.
They get a weird color when getting ready to spawn. They turn bright brick red in Alaska. In Oregon the fall runs turned black and the springers turned red.
Great Lakes have browns, steelhead, lake trout, brook trout, splake, coho salmon, king salmon, Atlantic salmon, and pink salmon in them. Kinda like a giant aquarium lol
They stocked all andromenous fish in Great Lakes. Warm water fish and lake trout and Brook trout were the only natural fish there. Only char no natural trout. They spawn there now but weren’t there originally.
I live between 2 Great Lakes here in Canada and we USED to have a fishery like this. Our Ministry of Natural Resources in combination with total excessive Native netting just ruined it. You couldnt get a spot on the river night or day, now it is a ghost town. Fucked it right up. Chinook and Trout fishing. RIP the Sydenenham River, Owen Sound.
Head to the west coast if you’re coming all the way from Ireland , the fish aren’t already half dead when they arrive . Lots of video to see from the west whether BC or Alaska , you have chrome fish , not black
I almost caught a salmon using a split shot 8 inches above the fly with procure trophy bass. In a way, its a good thing i didnt because i was using a 3ft Shakespeare dock runner ultra light rod. That salmon would of snapped my dock runner spinning rod and reel like a tooth pick lol 😆
Can fish even digest artificial salmon eggs and the netting? Where does the artificial netting and artificial eggs end up? Most likely in the environment? How many pounds of lead are in the that river? We stopped going there years ago. It's a crowdfest. We took up real fishing, catch and release fly fishing.
These fish should not be eaten , they are spawners and are way beyond their prime . They'll be dead shortly after this and start to rot away while still alive .
It's not bait, by law you have to have something on your hook. Salmon do not feed once they run upstream. Basically you have to " foul hook " the fish in the mouth in order to keep it. Anywhere else and you have to release it or get a huge fine. 95% of the time it's a foul hook lol

Awesome! My partner and I are headed up for our 2nd year in a row during the same timeframe. Good luck out there!
I’ll be there from oct 11-13th!!
I want to take a day trip up here because I’m in the Adirondack park. How’s the fishing so far?
People really appreciate it when you show up with 6wt trout rods for kings , walking the fish up and down the hole for 45 min.
I have so many good memories fishing that river while stationed at Fort Drum. Great video!
That river hog looks absolutely scrumptious! 🤙🏽🏆
HELL YEA!
GREAT TO SEE THE FISH FIGHT!!!!
Casey Prisco 💪 work
Great job out there. Love that you guys release the fish so they can spawn
LOTS of fish in river!!! caught 2 kings and a steelhead yesterday at Ballfield.
Did you release them or is eating them allowed ?
Thank God for places like wild Idaho and the snake and Clearwater rivers 😂 wow elbow to elbow here takes the fun out of it 😊
Dope Video. I love that bait. Hasn't failed me yet!!
That's home for me. LoL
Well Altmar, NY that is. I was a fish skinner and taxidermist for Paul DeAngelo's Taxidermy Studio off Ct Rt 22.
Hello
Great video thank you for sharing. Love your cure has done well for me on the Klick this year and the Yakima river when it’s open.
Fly rod and bait so classy
If it works, it works

It's going down right now. It has begun!!!!
Best salmon fishing in all of North America. Alaska here calling bs. 🤷♂️.
What a Canadian! I think that Northern Air got to your head... it says "world famous" you idiot!
Thanks for the advice, I have some of your eggs. Just checked the river this morning! Looking forward to the salmon run!
I fished the Salmon river back in 1991. Up state New York is very beautiful

I go there every year with my oldest son always have fun
Wow it's such a beautiful river
Really informative!! Nice video!! I always like when the salmon crowd left and the Steelhead remained.
Just went for my first time today, some fish in the river but no luck, hopefully in a couple weeks I can get on a big king!

Why are they so dark so quickly out of the Lake? Here in Washington state when they are so dark we put them back.
I would like to go there this yera, what kinda of rod, reel, line, and hook are you using?.
Come back to Pennsylvania this Fall. We love you guys!
Well produced!
I use to go every season, my ex's family lives in pulaski, so much fun on a fly
Hello
Got a cabin in the Osceola Florence area I’ll be going to salmon river next year to fish I’ve been having fun close to home

Drifting is basically flossing anyway. 🤷♂️. Just less effective.

I watched this and now I miss home, lol. Y'all forgot to mention the gigantic northern Pike. A bit closer to the mouth, but still, there awesome too.
Hi My friend fishing 👍
Hey I only 12 and I love salmon fishing do you think you cone film a video in Dexter this year
Good idea!
When were the Great Lakes stocked with Pacific salmon?
Next year for sure. Jesus these things are dinosaurs! Nice vid tho.
Those are some impressive sized chinooks and steelhead for coming out of a freshwater lake rather than the Pacific Ocean, the forage must be tremendous in Lake Ontario.
Dude has no idea eh?
I fish the ballpark every yr..I snapped to rods this yr. 🎣🎣
I’m stationed here in fort drum and I want to try fishing for salmon and what’s a great setup to start with?
If you don't mind me asking, what part of the DSR are you all on?
Awesome video! Great job. Question. I know you guys fish with fly rods, but I'm looking for a spinning setup for steelhead and salmon. Any suggestions? I'm looking at a 9 foot 9 in rod, rated from 6 to 12 lb line. Is that enough for the kings as well? I know it's an awesome steelhead rod. Thank you
I don’t think so but maybe idk because they can get over that pretty easily I don’t know about salmon run tho still idk
I used a Noodle rod spooled with 10# test and had both awesome fights and landed many kings and Cohos in the 20 # range. Rod is 12 feet long I think and a old school Mitchel 300.
Go California Hooked up Nice great action !
When is the best time( fall) visit this place ?
Thanks !
Sept, Oct
That amount of hooked fish is so unbelievable 🥶
This is about as far from what I feel fishing is about for me as it can be.
Great fishing guys!
Were you guys floating your eggs? Nice catches.
They get a weird color when getting ready to spawn. They turn bright brick red in Alaska. In Oregon the fall runs turned black and the springers turned red.
They turn red and grow that horn when they are at the end of their life cycle in Alaska
Question: am I allowed to keep them
If so: how many.
Yes, 3
Chinook on the Atlantic side of the USA? I didn't know that! Nice video - enjoyed it alot - NEW SUB HERE!

when is a good time to go there? Do you need to buy a license? how many fish you can get home?
Late/Sept early October for Salmon after that the Steelhead run. 3 day limit Salmon
Great video, thank you!
I come from Ireland to fish the salmon river every year for the last 10 years, missed it this year due to COVID-19
wtf im in the states n don't even go, im going now!
Alaska isn’t closed for covid...🤷♂️. We got plenty of salmon. Chrome bright ocean fresh.
Head to the west coast if you’re coming all the way from Ireland , the fish aren’t already half dead when they arrive . Lots of video to see from the west whether BC or Alaska , you have chrome fish , not black

I've seen so many rods broken I've never broken one I had make cracking sounds .... last week I landed 30 pound chinook on 20 doller trout combo
Fished the river beginning of October 2018 the DSR it was brilliant we will be back love from Scotland 🏴
I’m here right now at the salmon river ny
I catch about 20 per day on bestie river we are there all day and I skip a week of school and salmon fish with my friend
What's the best resource to see Water Quality for Eating Salmon?
The NYDEC
Can you keep any? I mean one would feed my wife and I for atleast 6 prepped meals, not to mention the collars!!
Most do keep them - there's endless opportunity to get your catch filleted for you in town.
That fish didn’t eat that sh*t 😂
Yeah none of em did they literally snag so many fish
Salmon don’t eat anyway. You will never hook one deep in the throat In a river.
Hello
@@landonfox4088 hi
When does the fall run start?
Where is Mick Thomas. Need to see some northern California and Oregon still in salmon fishing.... New vids
Elk hunting
Wow ,which irea this?!
What good are those salmon? They’re rotting as they go.
What weight rods did you guys use?
WHAT GEAR WERE YOU USING ?
Where can buy that rubber stopper for fire ball😏
If you google the name of it many carry it.
Great fishing except for all the rude tourists and drift boats
bait button, same as the float stops we use in the U.K.
Hello!
Could someone tell me what brand/model of the greyish/blue suit the gentleman is wearing in this video?!
Casey said they are Compass 360
Lol bait on a fly rod🤦♂️, nice floss jobs
Hi Jack,
Thanks for watching. Can't please everyone.
Jack Fulton I don’t understand that why didn’t he just use a spinning set up then
Hey I mean it’s better than your tuna rod😂😂
So you're telling me that that 15-20 lb salmon took a number 4 hook with a little see-through egg?
Constantly - all over North America. You should try it sometime.
Thanks America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 from John Robert Bruffett Junior!
The kings are not biting them lol
i live right in pulaski!
Do you miss Ponderosa?
Can keep the fish if you want to eat it?
These fish should not be eaten , they are spawners and are way beyond their prime . They'll be dead shortly after this and start to rot away while still alive .

Salmon do not feed once they run upstream. Basically you have to " foul hook " the fish in the mouth in order to keep it. Anywhere else and you have to release it or get a huge fine.
95% of the time it's a foul hook lol
I got to say I’m not a giant fan of rubber beads being lost into the river. If they bio degrade then I’m good with it.
I wish I still lived in Pulaski
Ya gotta have a good net guy !!!!!!
Great video friend
Can you eat those? Or have to release?
They don't taste like salmon, because they are not from the ocean. so it's a bit of a disappointment to eat them.
@@colinarsenault3735 Also way to far gone to be considered for eating
Pautzke flies? I mean those were fly rods.
10:40 that's why you use a 9 weight rod, not whatever the fuck ( 4-6? Weight) he was using
He is a good net man.
thought the douglaston was fly fishing only ?
Nope!
cost you $85 a day and you cant keep trout
I just caught my first 2 salmon of 2020 today
Do you need license to fish at this river
Of course.
can you keep the fish and eat'em???
If you choose.
Not recommended at all .
nice TROUT
Why are you using fly rods.....i dont get it
Broken fly rod karma
