The Salmon River located between Altmar and Pulaski, NY offers one of the most unique fly fishing experiences in Upstate New York.

Every fall, Lake Run Steelhead migrate up the Salmon River following Chinook, and Silver (Coho) Salmon that are returning to the river to spawn. This creates pristine conditions to target steelhead on the fly.

Both swinging flies and nymphing can be equally as effective depending on the time of year and river conditions.

Come learn how we target these explosive fish and experience one of the hardest fighting freshwater species out there.

Salmon River trips are available from September - April with peak Steelhead season being October-December.

Our trips are mostly wade only but may use a raft if conditions permit.

My name is Matt Borovy and I am the owner / head guide of Salt City Fly Fishing. Originally from Northwest Connecticut, I grew up fishing on the Farmington River where I honed my skills as a technical fly fisherman. I have spent the last 8 years living in Syracuse, NY and exploring the different waterways that run through New York State. I have vast experience in fishing & navigating many rivers in the CNY area on both boat and foot. I am a passionate angler with a love for fly fishing, fly tying and sharing epic experiences on the water with others. I hold a degree in Natural Resources Management from SUNY ESF and love helping protect the resources that give so much back to us. I look forward to fishing with you!
