Before I moved here I guided on Lake Ontario and the Salmon River for several years. I still go up often to fish the salmon and speak to several guide friends on a monthly basis. They just got a small shot of rain and runoff so things are improving. I would concentrate on the lower end of the river up to below Pineville and move around and find the fish. Dont get married to a spot and cover some ground. The traditional egg sacks are working but the better fishing has been with fly's drifted on spinning gear. Stonefly's have been good according to my buddies as of late. The river has been running around 350 cfs so bring along some bobbers/floats and work with these in the shallow pools and runs, If you dont use these you will be surprised how well they work. Early december with low water I always fished a float with a nightcrawler or oakleaf bug or moussies-local ice fishing maggots with tails. Catch a few for me.
