Pulaski Salmon and Steelhead Expeditions

If you’re in the market for a professional, guided experience near Pulaski, look no further than Pulaski Salmon Charters and Guide.

The name of the game around here is fly fishing, and spin rods that’s exactly what you’ll do. You can also do a bit of jigging, and maybe more your guide wants to show you. Your guide, Clifford, will provide Drift boat, rods and reels, as well as lures. We are a full-service outfitter, so there is nothing they do not provide! The only thing we don’t provide is waders, boots, and rain gear, which you will need to bring along for your awesome day. So please don’t forget to pack them to bring with you for your trip.

Depending on the season, you might hook into Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Atlantic Salmon, Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Steelhead, and plenty more. Up to 2 anglers for drift boat trip excursions.  You’ll be fishing with a drift boat, or 3-4 guest will walking and wading only, expect to make your way on foot at least part of the time and come dressed for current weather conditions.

Expect to get in touch with Clifford before the trip so you know where to meet and how to get there. For overnight trips, the pick up/drop-off option is available for an extra cost. Message the captain for details. Everyone in your group should buy a local fishing license ahead of time. You can find out more online, including exceptions that may apply.

You’re encouraged to dress in layers and the proper footwear. It’s never a bad idea to bring sunscreen, bottled water, and sunglasses in any weather conditions. Clifford will have some snacks and drinks for you. Anglers of all ages are welcome on these trips, including kids. Get in touch to find out if there are child-sized life vests you can borrow or bring your own.

Captain Clifford's father was a fishing guide in upstate New York on the Salmon River in Pulaski, NY. The captain grew up fishing for Salmon and Steelhead in the Salmon River and Lake Ontario since the time he could walk. He went to Alaska as a teenager to work at a fishing lodge, and it was there that he realized Salmon fishing was the path for him. Capt. Clifford and his wife Anna have been guiding fishermen and guests on fishing expeditions for 26 years now, and they hope to have you join them on one of their amazing Lake Ontario and Pulaski Salmon River fishing expeditions.
