Captain
Clifford Smith

Member since November 2021 Wolcott, United States
Background
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.
Techniques
Capt. Clifford uses all fly and spin fishing techniques commonly used for Salmon and Steelhead in freshwater rivers. He also uses all of the most advanced saltwater equipment and techniques for Halibut, Rockfish, and saltwort Salmon fishing.
