I just perused the front page and must have missed the "I don't have waders/I'm not buying waders/why can't I just catch huge fish from the bank" sign up section?

What gives?

I'm going to go up this weekend to look around.    A few fish have been caught in the river but still no major push of fish, which is normal.

Few questions:
Where is this happening?
Will spinning gear suffice? What weight, lures, etc?
Is this one of those gatherings where fish are actually, and actively caught, or you all just going to sit around grumbling about Mags haircut like last time?

Salmon river NY.    spinning gear is fine, just make sure its sturdy enough to handle fish in the 15-30lbs range that are trying to tear your arm off.

I won't speak for the other guys but I'll be fishing every day all day.   I stop for lunch and a brew around noon and thats it.   The salmon run is my relaxation for the year, no work, no kids, nothing but fishing

nope, I've never gone up there, lots of guys tell me to go but honestly I still have a long list of spots to try on the salmon River.    There is so much water to fish and not enough time

I do fish a few small streams near my brothers house but they get crowded fast and are full of snagging douchebags

you guys are alright, even if you do fall in the river and throw your gear in the water.    

Let me know if you are bored one weekend and want to go up with me.

Thank you. If spinning gear works, I should be all set.

Plan B: Slip a mickey in the pickled jalapenos to take care of EdB!

Good luck with your opener. Keep the pictures coming!

Did a lot of walking last saturday, didn't see anything.    Checked out a few of my favorite places to see if anything changed with the spring floods.    

I'll be up again satuday to look around, this week has already been better, but still no major push of fish.   Going off the weather and lake reports I'd say we are two weeks away from the big push

I'm hoping that this big cold front moving through this weekend will finally light the fire under these fish to run, been spotty so far this year.    if they run late sep expect an epic week in october.

Getting really antsy.  I just returned to work this week after being out from April 1 (Trout opener ironically).
Im not so sure my shoulder will allow me to haul in a fish, but I want to try.  The nerve damage from my fall
and surgery is pretty significant and I can only lift my left arm so its parallel to to gound.  I figure a 35 lb king
might work out all the kinks......or rip my arm clean off .

The real issue is if I can take a few days off after having off for 5 months straight during our busy time.  I
always take time off for salmon and another 2 weeks for hunting.  Might not get so lucky this time

for salmon its estaz, thats pretty much it.   blue, orange, red or pink.    

steelhead I use all kinds of flies but the best are sucker spawn and small black nymphs or stone flies.    in January a prince nymph will catch steelies all day long

Just found out my fishing buddy (Jack) will be fly fishing Montana that weekend so we are coming
up Oct. 9, 10, 11 and 12.  Thats late for us and I typically wont fish Columbus weekend as it's a
free for all on the river.  Hate to jinx it but the "slow" reports are actually encouraging as any delay in
the big run favors our later trip.  Hate to miss the ARFCOM gathering too......

Damn my man it is a 4 hour drive home.. need to give me some time to sign on.. LOL

it was a bust today.. not many fish moving couple people hooked up real quick in the morning on the halodane run.. The guy I was with landed one at the trestle.. i ended up landing a creek chub that was all of 3 inches long.. That was really about it..   We went over to oswego around 1:30 and had a better day there.. I went 0/3 and my buddy went 2 / 5 (one nice 5lb or so rainbow, and a decent king 15lbs?)...

All in all unless i hear that something major happens in the next day or two I wont be making the trek back up there on friday.. Ill wait another week,,
