Our report for the Salmon River right now is a 2.

The salmon are staging in front of the Salmon River in 75-140 feet of water. Fish are being caught from Fair Haven all the way to Sandy Pond. The best depth right now is from 90' to 140' with a temperature of 50 degrees down 60'. The best lures have been the E.L hot tamale flasher with a crinkle green fly, glow green e-chip and ultra green glo fly, also a Pro-Troll chrome blue bubble e-chip with an A-TOM-MIK hammer fly. If you like running cutbait, try a 11in pig pen paddle with a Dreamweaver cut bait rig. A good spoon to try is the Michigan Stinger Stingray yellow wiggler. When the sun comes up try the Pro-Troll pig pen e-chip with an A-TOM-MIK pro am fly, also try a ProTroll Burke's Valium attractor with an A-TOM-MIK pro am fly. Try a magnum Michigan Stinger Sea Sick Waddler on a 300-350 copper, try your Dipsy divers out 210-240 on a 2.5 setting. If you like fishing Lake Ontario for Salmon now is the time to be here.
