September Salmon 2019 - Part 1 - Salmon River, NY - DSR Fly Fishing
Part 1 of a 2 Part Series.
Early season salmon fishing is a gamble but it certainly paid off on the first trip to the Douglaston Salmon Run this year! There were plenty of fresh, active salmon willing to bite and it was a blast!

This is the first part of a 2 part series.. too much good stuff to fit in one video! Subscribe and click the notifications bell to be notified of the next video. Take a look in the description for links to our other Salmon River videos and gear I use.

@martinkirsch4000 4 года назад

I've fished the Salmon river for yrs..When you hook a fish and give them slack they will go up stream. When you put pressure on them they go down stream. The best way to bring the fish to you is drop the tip of the rod into the water so the fish feels he is not being lifted out of the water..Fishon!

@WhiteDogTrailCompany 4 года назад

Yes... I have definitely noticed the same. When they got toward the back of the pool I would ease pressure to try to keep them from darting downstream. You can see just before I dropped the rod I was pulling line out to try to give slack to stop them from going down. It seemed they eventually went downstream for the most part on me anyway but it did stop them for a bit. I do it in the next video too. These fish were pretty hot though. I appreciate the advice and will definitely give it more of a try!

@alexfletcher8375 4 года назад

Man I’ve spent quite a few hours on that river after the salmon and just couldn’t get the hang of it! Very impressive to watch someone that knows what they’re doing. Nice work and I’ll be tuning in for more videos for sure!!

@WhiteDogTrailCompany 4 года назад

Thanks. I think a lot depends on where you go in the river. The fresher the fish the better! Once they've been in the river a while or have been pressured they shut down.

@Ricky-zj6sy 4 года назад

Great video man, I live here in Ireland and have fished the NY salmon river for around 12 years now. The best day I ever had there was on that same stretch of Douglaston meadows when I hooked around 70 fish. Mostly kings, but plenty of Coho, big browns and rainbows and a superb Steel-head of around 17lbs. We are going back there this October for another crack at it, here's hoping it fishes well in 2020 tight lines everyone!

@WhiteDogTrailCompany 4 года назад

Sounds pretty epic! I have had those days minus the big brown and monster steelhead.

@chasinbowsnbrowns3652 4 года назад

White Dog Outdoors Sounds tempting! But let me ask you , are there rules in how and what method one uses in catching these fish?

@WhiteDogTrailCompany 4 года назад

@@chasinbowsnbrowns3652 There are some rules but not really many. Single hook is the main rule. Weight on the line can be between 4 feet and 1 foot from the fly/bait. In the DSR you have to have a line break like a knot or swivel to keep the weight on the line from sliding too close to the hook. No live bait either. But you can fly, spin or pin, bottom bounce or float. You can even throw spinners, spoons and plugs (single hook). Lots of ways to chase them.

That first one you brought to shore, during the first part you can see there's plenty in that pod in the water. The second one," I'm just going to sneak up on this guy" (meanwhile, Bryan is trouncing through the water like Big Foot running away from the Big foot Researcher organization)

@WhiteDogTrailCompany 4 года назад

HAHAHA... I know... it seemed a little weird right? That fish was holding in an eddy behind a rock in fast water.. what I meant was I'm not putting too much pressure on the fish so it knows it is still hooked. That let me get caught up to the fish and land it. With all of that fast water it would never hear me that far away.. I did have the same thought as you though when I watched the video... sneaking up doesn't typically include sloshing through water loudly :)

@familyfishkiller1062 4 года назад

@bobbyjr7835 4 года назад

Is it all fly fishing through the river or just certain areas? I was just at the hatchery and went to the river and seen a lot of people fly fishing.

@WhiteDogTrailCompany 4 года назад

The entire river up to the bridge in Altmar is open to fly fishing, spin fishing and centerpin. Only the very upper stretches (Lower Fly Zone and Upper Fly Zone) are fly fishing only. There are a lot of fly fishermen throughout the river though.

@FishFray 4 года назад

Are you allowed to use bait in this stretch of this river? And does anyone? just curious

@WhiteDogTrailCompany 4 года назад

This section does have more regulations on top of the NYS DEC regulations. But I believe you can use skein\egg sacs. You cannot use minnows. It is rare but I believe in the bigger pools I have seen people float fishing with skein.

@ryanarmstrong6056 4 года назад

I used to fish Skein in the DSR. The DSR is private land that restricts access so you can get some elbow room. For the most part, it's floss jobs there though.

@fishermansam5983 4 года назад

You can use bait at the DSR, not sure about minnows but skein, eggs sacs, beads, single eggs are all good to go.

@Triberius 4 года назад

I've been up a few times the past week, and have done pretty well. I mainly throw Glo-bugs though instead of wooly buggers, and have had a few cases where a fish would swipe at it, then turn and chase my Glo-bug down stream to hit it again.

@WhiteDogTrailCompany 4 года назад

That is soooooo awesome! I use glo-bugs a lot too but mostly for steelies. I really need to break them out for salmon again. I've been on the wooly bugger kick for several years now because of the success I've had.

@Triberius 4 года назад

@@WhiteDogTrailCompany I like them since I can tie a lot of them in different colors really quickly. On a side note: I saw what you were saying about aggression in this video Sunday. Out where I was fishing Sunday in a small stretch between two sets of riffles there is a small patch of slack water behind a rock that I kept seeing 3-4 fish stack up in. Every time I'd drift my Glo-bug into it, one of the fish would absolutely hammer it.

@WhiteDogTrailCompany 4 года назад

@@Triberius Yeah... you put multiple fish that are apex predators in a confined area together and things start to get interesting... especially when they are fresh fish!

@stevemillington628 4 года назад

What size rod and weight are you using, with what pound leader ? Thank you I enjoy your videos.

@WhiteDogTrailCompany 4 года назад

I was using an 8wt Switch Rod. I have the link in the description so you can see the exact model\details. It is a very affordable model and definitely gets the job done! It gives you good power to fight the fish but the longer, softer tip helps protect the tippet. Oh and the leader weight depends on the type of water. In fast water I'll go as heavy as 20# if I don't think they'll be able to see the line. If I don't get bites I'll downsize to 16#. If they're really spooky or I'm in slow water I'll drop to 14 or maybe 13#. I have the leader material in my description as well.

@funnynader9149 2 года назад

Hey man I went salmon fishing in Michigan for the first time. I’ve been going in the summer since I was months old. So I was going to try your method with the wooly buggers. So when you are fishing do you try to keep a tight line and keep the fly off the bottom? How do you know if you get a bite do you watch your line or do you a sighter for euro nymphing? And what pound and length is your sighter?

@WhiteDogTrailCompany 2 года назад

I am basically euro nymphing for salmon and steelhead. I will sometime see the take with my sighter or I will often feel the take by trying to keep a tight line. It's a little harder to do with salmon given the heavier rod and line and only being able to use a single fly. I do end up having to use split shot most of the time but I keep it as small as possible. I have a whole video on my Salmon Setup that would be good for you. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UHTWkr0L1Nw.html

@johntmcclinton7529 4 года назад

How long do you keep your leader and tippet, also do you use the same leader material for your tippet

@WhiteDogTrailCompany 4 года назад

Pretty much the same material. I use 20# Rio Fluoro for the mainline, 20# red amnesia for the sighter material, then a length of Rio Fluorocarbon again but depending on the conditions I may leave this heavy or go lighter. I then tie a tippet ring and tie a fairly short piece(18-24") of Rio Fluorocarbon to my fly. The length of the entire leader is fairly long and depends on the rod length. I don't measure it... they key is if it feels right. Too long or too short and it doesn't feel right.

@johntmcclinton7529 4 года назад

White Dog Outdoors Awesome thanks so much for the advice, kept breaking off this weekend, gonna hit again next weekend trying this. Keep killing it out there awesome vid.

@WhiteDogTrailCompany 4 года назад

@@johntmcclinton7529 I start heavy and if it affects me getting bites I drop down. The lowest I'll go for salmon is maybe 13#. Downsizing does help when in slow water or when around pressured fish. Otherwise go heavy. I am usually using 16-20# depending on the type of water. It makes a huge difference. Good luck!

@milanpainting 4 года назад

May I ask what rod you using?

@WhiteDogTrailCompany 4 года назад

Of course... I have a link in the description to it. Redington Dually (it is a switch rod). I wanted the Chromer but they were out of stock when I was buying.

@fishy4281 4 года назад

nice video and catches. Tried fishing yesterday but the water has been so low and clear recently that the fish got spooked by a black wooly bugger

@WhiteDogTrailCompany 4 года назад

Yeah... day 2 for me was more difficult with that. I often find I have to go looking for different fish when that is happening. Or downsize everything and go really small. It is often the mood they are in though and you probably won't change that... better to go looking for more active fish (like I do in the next video).

@scrumdiddy6888 4 года назад

How do you know when a fish takes? Can you feel them hit?

@WhiteDogTrailCompany 4 года назад

I will usually feel them because I am using heavy flies and keeping a tight line... but sometimes I don't feel them and I'll watch the line very closely. When it pauses or jumps that is a tell tale sign that something happened (either bottom, or a bite or sometimes line getting caught on a fish). If I feel the bump of the bite I'll set the hook. If the line stops I'll lift up and see what happens. If a fish starts head shaking then you probably have them right... if they don't head shake they are probably not hooked right (fouled). But you play them until you can tell how they're hooked.

@outfaded34 2 года назад

What weight rod are you using?

@WhiteDogTrailCompany 2 года назад

I really prefer a switch rod which is longer. I use an 11'6" 8wt fly rod (Redington Dually). I used to use a shorter rod (9' 9wt) but a shorter rod just doesn't have the advantages of the longer rod. I go through my entire setup in this video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UHTWkr0L1Nw.html

Someone said smaller hooks lodge in the tissue better of the upper part of the mouth.

I have definitely tended to like smaller hooks better mostly because they are less likely to bend out (less leverage can be put on them). Not really sure about how well they stick in the mouth versus other hooks... I guess I haven't noticed a difference? It's usually so chaotic when you hook up and there are so many things that can go wrong LOL.
