Sich's Guide Service – Salmon River 

Drift boat fishing on the world-famous Salmon river can be an extremely effective way to target salmon and trout from September through May. Our new 2024 Willie drift boat keeps you comfortable through out the day while fishing in style.
Come fish with USCG captain and NYS guide Joe Sicherman on the famous salmon river. 9 years full time of guiding experience and thousands of days on the water ensures a good experience for your group

I guide the river full time, 7 days per week to ensure a quality experience for my customers. Booking with us ensures you are getting a full-time, fully insured, local, and licensed captain to teach you the knowledge to put fish in the boat. Little things make a remarkable difference and that's what I am here for.

September and October, we target large migratory king and coho salmon from the mouth of the river all the way up to the spawning grounds, and everything in between. This is a busy time of the year on the river, and the incredible fight from salmon draws a huge crowd.

From the last week of October to November 15, trophy brown trout runs the tributaries of lake Ontario following the salmon. We often target this beautiful fish on foot and use fly and spinning gear.

Brown trout and steelhead enter our rivers following the salmon run beginning in October and continuing through the fall, winter, and spring. This is by far our longest season and my personal favorite. Steelhead and brown trout fishing takes finesse and skill that is not quickly learned. The tips and tricks you would learn on a steelhead trip are invaluable on the river. My passion for steelhead fishing runs deep. I stay busy through the winter months targeting trout, often the best time to fish them is the winter and we do not let up. Propane heaters in my drift boat keep you fishing and comfortable. Steelhead fishing is extreme in nature and rewarding.
