Enjoy salmon and steelhead fishing on the Salmon River in Pulaski, NY, and the Black River in Dexter, NY. Trips are primarily conducted from an 18' Willie drift boat customized for your comfort, with a 16' AlumaWeld drift boat used during lower flows.

Salmon season runs from early September through the end of October, followed by steelhead season from late October through the end of April. Salmon are targeted using a variety of techniques, including fly fishing, plugging, float fishing, rowing, and casting spoons and lures at night. Steelhead are primarily targeted with float and plug fishing.

All you need to bring are waders, a NYS fishing license, and any snacks or drinks you’d like for the trip. Two-person trips are ideal, but groups of three can be accommodated when water levels allow.

    6 Hour – Salmon Drift Boat Trip on October 10, 2026 • 2 adults

    Nolan was very communicative after booking a trip with him. He gave us options on how we wanted to fish and was very accommodating. It was clear he wanted to give us a great time. I brought my 13 year old daughter and he made sure she caught fish. Nolan was very knowledgeable and I learned a lot from him. We went home happy after our trip. Will definitely use his service again. Thanks.
