Steelhead Fishing on the
Salmon River Pulaski New York
Steelhead Trout start migrating into the Salmon River in October at the end of the Salmon Run.
The 1880 House wants you to bring a Camera, not a Cooler for the Steelhead Trout. Please practice Catch and Release for future fishing of these beautiful trout. If you catch a trophy steelhead for mounting, or want to keep 1 steelhead for consumption then that is OK. We need to preserve our wonderful fishery.
Between Columbus Day Weekend and Christmas-New Years is generally a good time to fish for Steelhead on the Salmon River, before the cold winter weather sets in. When planning a Steelhead fishing trip in January and February, try to make last minute plans, due to weather conditions. March thru Mid May is a great time to travel to Pulaski NY when the Steelhead Trout are spawning in the Salmon River and it’s tributaries. However BE AWARE of High Water Levels during March and April, (due to spring thaw) The 1880 House has a cancellation policy of NO PROBLEM, if the water level is un-fishable.
Please check with your guide for their cancellation policy.

SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT SALMON RIVER NY GUIDES:
There are many many fishing guides on the Salmon River. And many of the Salmon river guides are NOT teaching guides. by teaching guides - I mean guides that will teach you the how to fish the Salmon River for Steelhead, Brown Trout and Salmon. They will teach you how to read the water, how to properly fish the Salmon River, how to catch a fish legally (not to lift or snag a fish) .
Check your guide out very carefully!!! Ask Questions!!!
How will you be fishing - Bank Fishing? Driftboat? Running Plugs?
Are you spin fishing or fly fishing? Does the guide provide you with all the equipment? What about flies?
What about lunch (some guides do provide lunch to their clients) The 1880 House does have a very good sub-shop across the street to prepare your box lunch.

‘Think ‘Safety’
While Fishing on the Salmon River
There is over 11 miles of fishable waters, and the River conditions vary from quiet pools to class-two rapids. *The Salmon River is a hydroelectric river, and the water levels, CFS, (cubic feet per second) can change at any time.
The Salmon River bottom is slippery year round and we recommend that you wear Korkers. Korkers are studded sandals that are very very important to wear. They can be purchased or rented from our area tackle shops.
*Waterline Report 1-800-452-1742
code # 365123Better Yet: You can now access Waterline with the exact water level report for the Salmon river online at:
Don’t Forget To Pack:
- Chest Waders (with Wading Belt)
A wading belt is very important, should you fall in the Salmon River, it would only take moments for your waders to fill up with water. Waders can also be rented or purchased in Pulaski at our local tackle shops.
- Polarized sunglasses : Wearing polarized sunglasses is for your safety!! Have you ever seen a split shot come flying back at you when trying to break off a snag? Wearing protective eyewear can help save an eye. The polarized glasses cut the glare so you can see the bottom of the river and any obstacles in the river.
- Korkers: Korkers (spiked footwear) is a must to wear while fishing in the river and streams. Korkers can be purchased or rented at local tackle shops.
- WADING STAFF: The river's are VERY SLIPPERY a Wading staff is very important.
- Rain Gear: plus an extra layer of warm clothing. (The 1880 House provides washer and dryer facility for our guests)
- Camera: Our MOTTO ( FOR steelhead AND BROWN TROUT) bring A CAMERA, NOT A COOLER!!! Please take a picture and carefully release your fish. ( Please be careful taking pictures in the winter, when temperatures are below freezing, keeping their gill's out of water for the photo could harm them. Please practice catch and release for future fishing.
- COOLER: DURING SALMON SEASON, bring a cooler, if you want to keep a Salmon or two. We have a commercial ice machine to fill your coolers. Please do not bring a Cooler for Steelhead and Brown trout fishing, BRING YOUR CAMERA
