Salmon


"A September King taken on a Flasher/Bait Combination!"
This is a fish that would be typical of any King Salmon taken during the staging period.  Attractors are used to entice mature Kings into the trolling pattern.  Once there, the Kings home in on bait or flies trolled behind the attractors.

"Staging Kings"

Here's a group of mature King Salmon taken during the Staging period.  Trips for this time frame are booked from Mid-August through September.
 

"A 25lb.King" 		Late June through September
"The Time of the King!"

Kings enter the eastern basin in Late June and remain throughout September. The summer fishery yields bright colored salmon such as these, while August and September are more noted for staging fish. Whichever you prefer, expect them to take 100 yds. of line on the strike. You won't forget the fight!
"A 34lb. King"

"A Coho/King Double" 		Salmon Variety

While the Chinook (King) salmon is the most common salmonid in our waters, there are Cohos and Atlantics. Kings are "line burners", Cohos are "jumpers" and the Atlantics are "a mix of both". Mike Seymour and Bob Flavin took this Coho/King double while writing an article for New York Sportsman Magazine. Action like this is common during August staging periods.
"An 18 lb. Atlantic"

"Hot Zone Kings"

A board of "Hot Zone" Kings taken on July 2nd, 2006'.  Our 7-Boat fleet helps us stay on top of these big groups of fish!!

Hot Zone!!

We call the last week of June and the month of July "The Hot Zone". Our fleet has been featured in such magazines as Field & Stream, North American Fisherman, and New York Sportsman while fishing this time period. King action can be outstanding during this time frame----Don't make the mistake of thinking Kings can only be taken at the end of the season!


Browns, Lakers and Kings all inhabit the same waters during the "Hot Zone" time period. We recommend the "Hot Zone" to anyone looking for variety of species coupled with excellent opportunity for summer Kings.
