Salmon River Fishing Report. - King and Coho Salmon.
GET UP HERE - NOW!
First GOOD steady run's of Salmon are happening now! And the Salmon are being FORCED to enter and run the river now.
-
For this last week. We have been averaging 150 to 300 Salmon each day. To include both low-light periods.
And hoping for a MAJOR RUN of 1,000 to 3,000 King and Coho Salmon entering daily over a 1-5 day period. (Now thru Mid. Oct.)
-
For this last week in the lower lower river. (Depending where you were standing. Combined with fish movement).
The fishing was a combination of:
1. Slow to ok. - Offering all anglers opportunity.
But MOSTLY:
2. GOOD! - Anglers are hooking up steadily.
3. EXCELLENT! Anglers can't keep the fish off the line.
GET UP HERE - NOW!
====
For the Lower Salmon River.
99% Crystal Ball FUTURE fishing Prediction!
Could we see a MAJOR RUN of 1,000 to 3,000 King and Coho Salmon?
-
Tues. - Rain showers in the morning will evolve into a more steady rain in the afternoon. Chance of rain 100%. Rainfall around a quarter of an inch.
Tues. night. - A steady rain in the evening. Showers continuing late. Chance of rain 100%. Rainfall around a half an inch.
Wed. am. - A chance of showers before 8am. - (meaning low-light).
-
*** If it's an all day rain event, providing low-light. You could see a steady all day run!
*** If the rain run-off into the river, raises the water level by 50cfs. That also can provide better runs.

From the Lake to the Upper Salmon River.
We have a TON of Salmon staging shallower by the day in Lake Ontario. In front of the mouth of the Salmon River. Soon to enter the Estuary and stage. Then run the river.
-
We have a GOOD # of Salmon in the Estuary staging. Soon to run the river!

We have good #'s of Salmon entering and running the river DAILY.

Rapids continue to produce. Mostly during low-light periods.

IMAGE - SALMON FISHING THIS FALL?
Fisherman loses 4 front teeth while doing Battle with a MONSTER King Salmon.
Featured Image - (Before and after his Dental Surgery)
-
He lost all four of his front teeth as a result of a King Salmon fishing related accident. In October 2014 on the Salmon River.
-
When he was fishing the Salmon River the water level was way up. And had several heavy split shot sinkers on his line to get his bait down.
He hooked a “HUMONGOUS” King salmon. As he reeled in the Salmon and got it close to shore. Rodriguez’s line snapped and the sinkers on the line flew at his face. Hitting him squarely in the mouth.
-
“It completely knocked me out!” he said in an interview last year. “I fell in the water and all I remember was this old guy dragging me to land. If it hadn’t been for that old guy, “I would have been dead that day!”
-
He tried to get used to having no front teeth, but suffered silently, said his wife, Tracy. He was reluctant to smile.
----
The funniest spit shot story I've ever witnessed.
Line breaks, split second later, the heavy lead split shot hits the man squarely in the Crotch!
He doubles over in pain. And falls into the river.
He survived and once the pain wore off. He was happily back Salmon fishing a few minutes later.
