This year my brother and I will be resuming a tradition of fishing the salmon river during the Christmas holiday. We had to put the tradition on hold during the recession but will resuming it after a 2 year hiatus.

We've had very little luck on our own and the last time we fished it we decided to hire a guide. It was expensive but we both walked away with pictures of some nice size fish we caught.

The good and bad of fishing in the middle winter is that it's not croweed, but it's cold has heck.

I post up a report in early January.

Great luck to you guys, The Fall was awesome, actually BIBLICAL is the word they used.

Thanks. We've never had a lot of luck but have seen some nice trout come out there in the winter. We'll probably hire a guide for at least 1 day to improve our chances.

The last time we were there the guide tied up some flies for us and a couple of them worked well in the local pond.

I never hired guide before on this river.

On my first day of this river, pulled 31 pound king salmon, 10 pound brown trout, 9.87 pound steelhead, and small atlantic salmon at 2008. Definitely hooked for life on this river.

Just buy the permit on this river. its cost $45 per day. Certainly worth it. Unless you want to battle with crowds on catch/release zone on north of pulaski.

(my sercet flies or bait was actually sponge from kitchen. just cut them into small cube size like beads. or use beads to fish for them! Very effective and low cost. However, tremendous time to spend to learn beads unless you are very motivated fisherman to practice like that. It took me almost two years to fully learn about "how to fish with beads!" now, I can catch anything on almost every drift! Highly recommend to learn from someone who fish with them...
