Jay Peck does both lake-run browns on the west end tribs of Lake Ontario and salmon/steelhead on the Salmon River. Not sure of his plan for this year, but he typically starts with the browns in September and moves to the Salmon River when the steelhead enter. He has other guides working the salmon run. ——————On Aug 31, 2022, at 13:53, Peter Brookes <brookesoutdoors@gmail.com> wrote:Thanks so much! Very helpful!Yeah,...

Where are you wanting to fish? If the Salmon River, early-mid September is best if you want fresh fish and less crowds. They usually do a release labor day weekend which often triggers fish to enter the river. I would fish the douglaston that time of year. The earlier in September you go the fewer fish will be around, but the ones that are there will be fresh and willing to actually eat a fly. Crowds will also be the...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} closest wade fishing to Arlington and upcoming events?

Smallmouth congregate in deep holes along the breaks in the summer. CK Baitfish fished deep on a long leader works. Just remember – crayfish swim downstream and across stream, and they crawl upstream. Make sure to remember that when fishing them. The Clousers should've worked though.

I would expect a whack from a 3" suicide smallie, but nooooo!Saw a suface blow-up with bait showering.
