SURFS UP!!! The river is in good shape after the weekend rain. Orwell and Trout Brook are coming down quickly and the main river has a slight tint to it. Today I fished with John and Chris, we had two bites on plugs today and boated a nice mid teens spawing male. John took this one for the grille. Most all the other boats fishing plugs today had one fish too. Some guys are trying to get out on the lake for browns but the winds have not been cooperating. When they do the boats are getting..

Just like the past two years the big water is right on time, the first week in April. The water out of the dam is 1750 CFS, Orwell Creek and Trout Brook are BLOWN over there banks.

Today I fished with a large group, when we pulled into the Altmar lot we ( Guides ) were suprised to see no other boats out. Our goal was to Plug fish. We fished EVERYTHING hard, sitting on anchor over a few high percentage spawning spots to have all 3 boats empty and the RT 2A bridge, So we called it a day at 11:30. Tommorow we are going to try Fishing the lake for Browns as an alternitive. Late today I took a drive around to checkout other options and the creeks.

Well right on schedule with the last few years, BIG WATER the first week of April. Just about everything is unfishable at the present time. North, South, and Tribs to the West. Best tip, STAY HOME. Time to tie some flies, Egg sacks or pick some Garden Hackle (Crawlers). Even the guys trying to get out on the Lake to fish for Browns are having trouble due to the winds. Keep checking the waterline and my report page for updates.

The water has dropped to a fishable level of 1000 CFS.. Today the driftboats were seen the action pick up over the last week or so. Most were Plug fishing and old man winter just doesn't want to let go. All we need now is some springtime temperatures.

On Saturday there were not as many boats out I would have thought. I fished with Dalton and Karen part of a group with Tom Burke. We mixed it up some with some casting and some backtrolling. We had two bites on plugs and landed this Brown appox 6 lbs. Most driftboats were plug fishing and all had some action.

The fishing on the Salmon River this weekend was fair, there was heavy fishing pressure in the upper section and I saw only a few fish landed. There seemed to be more anglers on Sunday then on Saturday thats usually the other way around. On Saturday I fished with Josh and John from VT, they fish hard all day and had a hook up in each of the spots we fished, none landed though. We fine tuned their drifting technic's and showed them every Slot, Run, Seam and Holding spots in the upper section for.
