Salmon River – Lower Fly Fishing Section Closed
To address the impacts of unusually low water levels along the Salmon River the lower fly fishing section will remain closed at least through October 31. Water releases from the Salmon River Reservoir are also being adjusted ahead of the annual salmon run in hopes that sufficient numbers of salmon reach the hatchery for egg collection in order to sustain DEC’s stocking program.
This is the perfect time for anglers to check out other Great Lakes tributaries that also offer incredible fishing opportunities.
An alternate location includes the Upper Fly Area located above the hatchery grounds on Route 22. Other locations can be found on DEC’s Find Places to Go webpage.
