We are Rocky Mountain anglers who came out from Colorado last September to fly fish the Salmon Run. We had a great time on your home waters. I would like to comment on how nice, helpful and friendly people generally were to us in the parking lots and around town. Had a fun time fishing the Salmon top to bottom and hanging with the locals at LD's.
Thank you very much for the help. This will be my first time up to Pulaski New York for the salmon fishing. So with some luck and the guidance you just gave will help me
I travel from here in Ireland annually to fish the salmon river in the fall, like everyone I have taken basic advice and honed it to my liking. I use a braided line as it has high strength and no stretch, I use a swivel to change the braid to mono and tie in a sacrificial piece of mono to the swivel to hang the weights off, that way if it snags in rocks and breaks off, its no big deal to retie and get fishing again quickly. But the big thing is to get up there and out on the water, talk to people and get advice. Don't be afraid to try something different, but DO PAY ATTENTION to the rules!! You don't need the DEC guys writing a ticket and ruining your day. Stay safe yall.
Great video!! What’s the benefit of running all mono on the fly reel? No fly line, all mono, what’s the purpose? Again thanks for posting this great video!
Hi Zana, Love your videos! This how to set up is great! I love the idea of using a fly reel on the noodle rod too! I have never done that and want to try it. My question is: What size fly reel do you use and how many yards of mono line do you put on and is it tied to a standard fly backing (20 lb) ? Thanks so much!
If you're using a swivel and leader leave a tag end at the swivel and secure your weights to it. A simple granny knot will keep them from sliding off. This way if they get hung up you usually just loose the weights.
I usually pinch a very small split shot on underneath the big weights to grip the line and hold them in place, that way I don’t have a break in the line that causes a weak point. But in the late fall when the steelies are in I do your swivel trick since I drop down to fluoro leader and it works great for them!
You commented on yeah we need more of that but that's how everybody started out up there fishing was snagging and flawesome unless you went back into the 80s when they used grappling hooks
Great video! If I want to use just my regular fly rod can I just use the plastic eggs with a hook & no weight or should I go for some actual flies like wooly buggers & egg sucking leaches?
You can use either, it doesn’t have to be flies on a fly rod but the two flies you mentioned are both really good ones. If you aren’t using any weight you’ll want to look for areas of river where the water is low and slow. You really need to get the fly down in front of the fish and that’s hard to do without weight on your line.
Thanks Zana for your valuable advice. I want to buy same noodle rod and fly reel you are using. Can you let me know their brands and specifications, please ?
I'm using a 10' Riversider 2-10lb and a Maxxon XMX 7/8wt. All of it is strung up with backing and 10lb T-Line monofilament. I have this same setup available in my store and I'll string it up for you. It's a really popular combination and also can be used with a 10' fly rod and still use the same line.
Like your channel lots of information.. can I ask a question I have last year's leftover egg sucks can I use them this year Or do I need to buy fresh ones
Thank you for this information. Are you suggesting its okay to connect mainline to hook directly as per new york regulations i thought there was some 4ft leader material rule?
Simple fix. Pinch a very small split that won’t effect the weight much, like a BB size, between your bigger ones and the hook and it grips the line better.
Great info an beautiful as always question about steel head when would be a good time frame to target them trying to get a small trip with some co workers planned after the salmon rush is over?
They typically start moving into the river sometime in October. I’d say come in the late two weeks of October, after Columbus Day weekend, to avoid the big crowds.
Hey. Your videos are awesome! Most informative! Can’t wait to come fish the tributaries this fall! Salmon looks fun, but I’m after a giant brown! Any tips or stories or maybe an email address so we can chat more in depth? or maybe throw out a video on rigging up for and fishing for brown trout? Keep up the videos! You should be proud!
Long whippy rods using mono you won't get a very good hook set though the Floro would be best if not using braid cause it don't stretch in my opinion .Awesome video very helpful and informative !
Hi Zana, great to see a small business owner, like yourself, doing well. What type of inexpensive reels and rods would you recommend? I'm from Washington state and I think this set-up would be effective in some of my local river systems.
I've had the DSR ask me how I keep my split shot from sliding down the line. They want to see that swivel. I find it hard to keep split shot in place without a swivel.
Good video, have you pegged your beads? I have fished both ways but switched to having the bead about 2 fingers above the hook and it does lead to a better hook set IMO.
love this tutorial!! Also,love the shop i have been going there for a very long time. Great people with alot of knowledge. Joe Lloyd Scranton Area of Pa
What is the best rod to use for spin fishing for salmon? something that won't break easily.... i have an uglystik gx2, but am considering something lighter weight.
Polimer knots and Uni knots etc are for straight shank hooks and Snell knots and Egg loop knots are for bent eye hooks. You used a polimer knot on a bent eye. When used properly it keeps the hook lined up with the leader and not bent in or out from the line. Not using the right knot for the hook type is a good reason why people don't get a solid hook up and lose the fish. Lose a fish in Alaska with a group and you are buying a round of drinks.
Coming up that way for the first time this fall (I usually salmon fish the lower Niagara). I thought I saw somewhere that you had to have a "line break" (a knot of some type) in the setup. You didn't tie one in this video and I looked up regs and not seeing it there either. Am I just missing it somewhere or did I misunderstand what I saw? Maybe this was an old reg and it changed?
Awesome job you do on these videos !!! I am bringing my stepson down for his first visit to the river Saturday. Hopefully we get lucky ! What time does the shop open ?
You can use many different kinds but I prefer the Redwing Blackbird Sabretooth. Any size from 0-4 is good for the kings in that brand and style. It varies based off of what pound test line you’re using
How's the salmon fishing right now? Thinking about going and salmon fishing for the first time. Is the only thing I need is a new York fishing license?
Yes you do need a fishing license for the state. You can go to the NYS DEC website and do it online or get one in town or at a NY Walmart sports section. Then the gear you’ll need to get a line in the water as well which if you don’t have that I recommend getting it at a store in Pulaski. The rods we use are pretty specific to this fishery but you can get a 4000 series spin reel pretty much anywhere and as long as it’ll hold around 220 yards of 10lb test mono and a 3 ball bearing system it’ll be okay for the river. 8-10 at fly gear works as well.
If you have a Dicks Sporting Goods near you or Cabela’s they might the best bet. Each one has different products so I’m not sure what the selection is like but you’ll be looking for a 9’- 10.5’ light spin rod. The line rating should be somewhere around 6-15 test rated. Make sure the rod isn’t a bait caster. Then you’ll want a 4000 series spin reel with at least a 5 bearing system and 12lb monofilament line (I recommend getting this in Pulaski so it will be fresh line). If you can find #2 octopus style hooks they work very well. Split shot for you weight, size #2-#4. And imitation soft plastic salmon eggs. 8mm in size and I’d go with red or orange color to start. Waders as well and my preference is felt bottoms or metal spiked bottoms so that I don’t slide as much in the river. This is a personal preference that works well for me. Now all that being said, there are a few stores in town, including mine, that have all of these products to take the guess work out of it for you so you know you’re getting what works well. And if you get your gear in town and something breaks you’ll have an easier time getting it replaced and be able to fish instead of having to wait until you’re home to replace a broken rod. Hope this helps!
hey Zana, great video! but this is a flossing rig, if you do intend to floss just use a big thin gauge circle hook, It will never foul hook them and you / your cusomters wont have to deal with snagged fish. You could just tie them egg flys or any fly pattern for that on a less absorbent material such as rabbit fur which would keep the hook neutrally buoyant, your clients would hook tons of fish all in the corner of the jaw . You could use a centrepin reel instead of a fly reel, this would allow you to drift longer stretches without adding slack / smooth drift.
Although it's easier to add and remove, do you ever run into issues with splits that have the wings compared to wingless? Fishing the OZ, I notice the current catches the wings and puts a spin in my line.
The finless will not all the way eliminate the spin but it does drastically reduce it. The main purpose of the fins is just convenience of taking off. Of course I wouldn't be shocked to find that other reasons also apply to the fins.
Yeah definitely. Noodle rods are made for spinning reels and that's what are used on them most commonly. I've just mixed matched with gear to create a setup that works most effectively for me. You can use spin gear the same way though.
4 feet is the maximum. Some people use a tapered leader (9 feet for example) tied to a tippet ring or swivel. Then a 4 feet (or less) tippet from there. The split shot goes above the connection. A lot of people use mono or fluorocarbon tippet.
Mine is a 7/8 wt but you can vary that depending on how much line you need. A 10/11 would be too big in my opinion but to each their own. With a fly reel and mono you can fit a lot of line on so you don’t have to go too big.
I've watched so many posts from "fishermen" on the Salmon River and I can honestly say I have yet to see one where the fish is not foul hooked or intentionally flossed. Please educate people on the use of float rods and center pin reels. It is angling in its purest form and far more productive than bottom bouncing could ever be. Once mastered, float fishing out produces bottom bouncing ten to one, counting legitimate hook-ups. Tight lines and far more important... respect the river.
Love your spot on feedback on salmon fishing been coming up since I was kid for fall fishing def right about weight is key make sure you bring plenty of split shots with you on the river and extra spool of line and egg sacs and you will be fine love it up there can’t make it up till October this year Fish On !!!
If you just put your slit shot on the line it will slide up and down and when you get it stuck you will lose both the hook and the weight as you yank it loose. People, use a triple swivel with a snap hook attached to one of the eyes and the leader and line attached to the other two. From the snap hook attach as small section of leader tied in a loop and to that attach your split shot to one of the lines of the loop. If you get it snagged on a rock guess what???? YOu just lose the weights and not the hook too. And, you won't be chasing a slipped split shot. OR, if you insist on using just one line, use a surgical tubing with 1/4 diameter pencil weight on the line. This way you can adjust the pencil weight so there is just enough weight that it is tapping the bottom by cutting some off. Slip the tube through the line then the pencil weight into the tube so the line get's pinched. You can also let it slide so you can adjust it to the depth. You want that weight bouncing on the bottom and your offering floating above. Fluro is abrasion resistant and SHOULD be used for your leader. Doesn't stretch as much either. Use the green.
The difference between flossing and drift fishing is the technique of the person using it, in the wrong hands yes it can be used that way, but fished properly they will crush it all bite no snag.
@@tommcclellan1133 True anglers will always run a float. Nothing is more is satisfying than fooling a fish into actually striking your bait and hooking it properly by the mouth. Floats and center-pin reels are the only way to go. The rest of it is just nonsense...
@@mick8018 you make me laugh. Why you worry about how others fish worry about yourself and quiet down. But in advance I know you will have to comment back and defend yourself.
@@mick8018Yeah us other fishermen and fly fishers really love having to wait for you to reel in your mile long length of line you let out. If it gets in my casting area I cut lines y'all can retie.

Don't use braides line terrible for river and can rip waders if get tangled
When it comes to combat fishing for salmon....I disagree
@@michaelfonak9667 Braided line degrades over time unlike mono or fluoro and the synthetics are just as bad at cutting waders.
Great video !!
Great video!!
What’s the benefit of running all mono on the fly reel?
No fly line, all mono, what’s the purpose? Again thanks for posting this great video!
Thank you for setting up my rod for 2 years now

A really good trick of using a swivel!

1st time watching your video. I had sound off and it was still very helpful. Suggestion.... Next time use a "COLORED LINE" so it can be seen better.

so with the fly rod do you just cast as with a normal rod? Also is this rig the same as with a normal (regular) rod?
Can you do a tutorial on a setup for the fly zones? Leader wise? Cause this wouldn't "fly" there right?

First timer and I planned my trip to northern Michigan for Oct29th/Nov 1st is that too late?
what hook was that ? what is the best hook for king in salmon river ? thanks 😁😁
You can use many different kinds but I prefer the Redwing Blackbird Sabretooth. Any size from 0-4 is good for the kings in that brand and style. It varies based off of what pound test line you’re using

Hi I did what you told me to do.up there. I didn't caught anything.i used the eggs from the bait shop up there..just off 81.
Good vid...FISH ON!
Thank you!
Can you use a tippet ring (on the salmon river) at the end of the mono? To then just tie on different sizes/lbs of tippet for various conditions?
The ring would be considered weight so as long as your tippet is 4ft or less you’d be good
I need guidance on what type of rod , bate, set up I need to go salmon fishing and where can I go to buy it it at I'm from New York city.
If you have a Dicks Sporting Goods near you or Cabela’s they might the best bet. Each one has different products so I’m not sure what the selection is like but you’ll be looking for a 9’- 10.5’ light spin rod. The line rating should be somewhere around 6-15 test rated.

If you can find #2 octopus style hooks they work very well. Split shot for you weight, size #2-#4. And imitation soft plastic salmon eggs. 8mm in size and I’d go with red or orange color to start. Waders as well and my preference is felt bottoms or metal spiked bottoms so that I don’t slide as much in the river. This is a personal preference that works well for me.
Now all that being said, there are a few stores in town, including mine, that have all of these products to take the guess work out of it for you so you know you’re getting what works well. And if you get your gear in town and something breaks you’ll have an easier time getting it replaced and be able to fish instead of having to wait until you’re home to replace a broken rod.
Hope this helps!
Do you think 6lb test is too light? I am using a 9ft spinning rod, medium heavy action.
Thanks for sharing 👍
From PA haven't been up there in a few years, thanks for the refresher course!
I'll remember the corned beef hash and eggs next time. Lol!
What bait shop do you work in.
Can i run this line set up on a spinner in late September?
hey Zana, great video!
but this is a flossing rig, if you do intend to floss just use a big thin gauge circle hook, It will never foul hook them and you / your cusomters wont have to deal with snagged fish.
You could just tie them egg flys or any fly pattern for that on a less absorbent material such as rabbit fur which would keep the hook neutrally buoyant, your clients would hook tons of fish all in the corner of the jaw .
You could use a centrepin reel instead of a fly reel, this would allow you to drift longer stretches without adding slack / smooth drift.
No it is not

Can you use a spinning reel on the 10ft noodle rod, if so what size reel and line weight. Also what if the weight of the rod
Yeah definitely. Noodle rods are made for spinning reels and that's what are used on them most commonly. I've just mixed matched with gear to create a setup that works most effectively for me. You can use spin gear the same way though.
The egg you put on the hook is it the bait and what type egg is it supposed to be.
Thank you i never set up tha way for a Salmon fishing
Do you gotta keep the shot 4 feet up the leader on a regular fly rod with traditional fly line?
4 feet is the maximum. Some people use a tapered leader (9 feet for example) tied to a tippet ring or swivel. Then a 4 feet (or less) tippet from there. The split shot goes above the connection. A lot of people use mono or fluorocarbon tippet.

On way up how much will this pole set up run me
Thank you so much!!!
Do you sell 10 foot noodle rods at your store now? How much are they?
How many yards of line are you putting on the reel?
Just load the reel…
Just curious, why not just use sinking fly line and an Egg pattern fly. Fly rod blank, fly reel…
See ya in October

Looking to buy egg sacks do you have them ?
I just bought that same rod, can not find the lure weight specs it can be used with it. Does anyone know?
Is using mono with a fly rod legal?
Love your spot on feedback on salmon fishing been coming up since I was kid for fall fishing def right about weight is key make sure you bring plenty of split shots with you on the river and extra spool of line and egg sacs and you will be fine love it up there can’t make it up till October this year Fish On !!!
There will still be plenty by then! You’ll probably get some good steelies too!
Is your store right in Pulaski?
Yes I’m right at the bottom of the short bridge by the town pool. 4826 Salina St
Right downtown on right just before you see the bridge at the intown pool....
What is the name of the store
So no swivel is needed?
Dream girl 😊
If you just put your slit shot on the line it will slide up and down and when you get it stuck you will lose both the hook and the weight as you yank it loose. People, use a triple swivel with a snap hook attached to one of the eyes and the leader and line attached to the other two. From the snap hook attach as small section of leader tied in a loop and to that attach your split shot to one of the lines of the loop. If you get it snagged on a rock guess what???? YOu just lose the weights and not the hook too. And, you won't be chasing a slipped split shot. OR, if you insist on using just one line, use a surgical tubing with 1/4 diameter pencil weight on the line. This way you can adjust the pencil weight so there is just enough weight that it is tapping the bottom by cutting some off. Slip the tube through the line then the pencil weight into the tube so the line get's pinched. You can also let it slide so you can adjust it to the depth. You want that weight bouncing on the bottom and your offering floating above. Fluro is abrasion resistant and SHOULD be used for your leader. Doesn't stretch as much either. Use the green.
woooohooooooo
I used eggs in a net from the bait shop
A very beautiful woman that is fishing knowledgeable is a dream come true! 😍
a tutorial to help people snag and floss.... great just what we needed more of.
The difference between flossing and drift fishing is the technique of the person using it, in the wrong hands yes it can be used that way, but fished properly they will crush it all bite no snag.
@@tommcclellan1133 True anglers will always run a float. Nothing is more is satisfying than fooling a fish into actually striking your bait and hooking it properly by the mouth. Floats and center-pin reels are the only way to go.
The rest of it is just nonsense...
@@mick8018 you make me laugh. Why you worry about how others fish worry about yourself and quiet down. But in advance I know you will have to comment back and defend yourself.
@@mick8018Yeah us other fishermen and fly fishers really love having to wait for you to reel in your mile long length of line you let out. If it gets in my casting area I cut lines y'all can retie.
Don't like it? O well buck 🤣🤣🤣
