Today was day #2 of fishing with Tony Gugino on the Salmon River.  We spent most of today hunting for trout.  The action was pretty hot this morning with kings.  Not too many landed, but there were a lot of hook ups.  The number of fish in the net was less than yesterdya, but today ended up being a trophy day. 

We landed one beautiful coho today that was the biggest I've ever caught and the biggest Tony has seen so far this season.  There were also some big steelhead in the River today.  We were able to land one gorgeous fish that was pushing 20 lbs.  These two fish were enough to make a banner day.  Adding in a couple other steelhead and a real nice male king just added the icing.  Here are the photos from today.  The season is looking good so far!

About Ken Hubbard

I grew up in Pulaski, NY fishing the Salmon River and Grindstone Creek primarily. Stream and river fishing is where it is at for me. Hiking through the woods to get to that perfect spot and hearing the water rush by while waiting for the big guy to take the fly has a calming influence that I haven't experienced anywhere else. While I certainly enjoy casting to bass and trolling for walleye, salmon and trout, I would put on the waders, grab the fly rod and head for the river any day given the choice. Now that I have lived in the Syracuse area for the past 6 years, I have expanded my territory to local trout streams like Chittenango Creek and Nine Mile Creek. I still regularly fish my home waters and have also fished in Wyoming, Montana, Utah and of the coast off southern California. The list of fishing destinations I would like to (and more often than not, believe that I need to) visit include Argentina, New Zealand, British Columbia and Alaska to name a few!
