Craig and I decided to get up early on Saturday to try our luck at Russell Station on Lake Ontario.  Our hope is that we would get into some Salmon or Steelhead.  We found that there were a lot of Salmon being caught but they were being caught right off shore.  The lack of rain and very warm temperatures have kept the fish from coming into the tribs.  I think we will see a good run in a couple weeks though.  Here is a Salmon that one lucky guy caught at the mouth of the Genesee River.

New York has some of the best Steelhead fishing in the world.  My friend Craig makes this point with the following report from the Salmon River in Upstate NY this past Friday:

Fished on Friday and managed to land a beautiful skamania steelie on the swing.  Great fight and a beautiful, well balanced fish.  We need water this Fall, but thought that you might like to see my first steelie of the season.
