Happy New Year everyone!! Fishing in Upstate NY is going to be fantastic in 2017, and we are off to a great start. The Salmon River along with other tributaries are flush with steelhead and the NYS Winter Classic is on!!
The snow and cold weather have been a blessing for our fishing, with the snows and thaws came rising water levels for our streams to fill with water and chrome steelhead. Cold weather brought some early ice enthusiasts out, and conditions have started so much better than last, ensuring an exciting Ice-fishing season.
