Adirondack Landlock Salmon

[AKSkim]

With the water levels in the Pulaski area making the migration of the salmon to their spawning beds a spooky gauntlet to run, just inches from the snaggers in waiting by the hundreds a displeasing option.

Lake Eire streams fearing no better conditions.

Lends this fisherman to consider Landlock Salmon fishing in the Adirondack region of Up State New York.

Should be about this time that they are staging just off the mouths of a number of well known rivers in the area for their run up stream.

Water levels of the AuSable and Saranac maybe in the same low conditions, without the hordes of anglers that could be found on the Salmon River.

Maybe just worth a trip up there to scout the streams. For me it is closer than heading up to the wilds of Maine.

Fly patterns should be the same for this time of year. Classic streams should entice one or two. If not, nymphing should be the order of the day.
