Upstate NY is know for this time of year. Salmon fishing on the Salmon River. Please check out www.dec.gov.ny for all information and fishing regulations for fishing on the Salmon River. Below is some information from the New York State Fishing Regulations.
Salmon River
The Salmon River, located in Oswego County, stretches 17 miles from the Lighthouse Hill Reservoir in Altmar to where it empties into Lake Ontario at Port Ontario. There are 12 miles of Public Fishing Rights along the river. The Salmon River offers some of the finest sport fishing in the country. Two major fish records have been set in the Salmon River: the Great Lakes record Chinook salmon (47 lbs. 13 oz.) and the world record Coho salmon (33 lbs. 4 oz.).
Public AccessMaturing Chinook and Coho salmon returning to the Salmon River usually begin to stage off the Salmon River mouth in late August. Chinook (or King) salmon are the main attraction this time of year. The fish range in size from 15-30 lbs., averaging around 18 lbs. The Great Lakes record Chinook salmon, caught in the Salmon River, weighed 47 lbs. 13 oz. Coho salmon are generally smaller and range in size from 3 to 10 lbs., averaging around 8 lbs. The world record Coho salmon, caught in the Salmon River, weighed 33 lbs. 4 oz. Trolling in the estuary with spoons, dodgers/flies, cut-bait and plugs works well for these staging fish. Salmon usually begin entering the Salmon River around Labor Day.
Once salmon enter the river they are no longer actively feeding. Despite this, they do exhibit behaviors that make them vulnerable to traditional sportfishing techniques. One of these behaviors is aggression, or territoriality, and the other is their attraction to fish eggs or egg shaped lures. The peak of the spawning run usually doesn’t occur until the latter half of September and the first half of October. Fish are generally spread throughout the river depending on the spawning stage they are in. Some fish will be making their way upriver (often referred to as running), holding in deeper pools and actively spawning. Fish engaged in the first two activities can be caught on egg sacs, egg imitating flies or plastics and streamers. Fish that are spawning, especially the males, can become very aggressive and will strike gaudy streamers swung past their spawning redds.
SteelheadThe Salmon River offers the opportunity to fish for two strains of steelhead, the Washington strain and the Skamania strain. The Washington, or winter run, begin entering the Salmon River in late October and continue through Spring. They feed aggressively on the abundant salmon eggs in the Fall, thus making it a very good time to go steelhead fishing. Using egg sacs or egg imitating flies and plastics are your best options. Fish that entered the river in the fall will hold over in the deeper pools of the river throughout the winter. Fishing the deeper pools with egg sacs, egg imitating flies or nymphs works well this time of year. Warming periods during the winter may bring new fish into the river. Spawning usually takes place during mid-March and through early April.
After spawning the fish begin to drop back to Lake Ontario. These fish can be very aggressive. These fish feed heavily because they are hungry and finished spawning. They can be caught on plugs, spinners, flies, egg sacs and night crawlers.
Summer run skamania steelhead begin entering the river around June. They tend to run during periods of increased flow. Your best chance to encounter fish is after a heavy rain or planned water release from the hydro plant. The fish remain in the river until they spawn the following spring.
Atlantic SalmonAtlantic salmon were native to Lake Ontario. They are fall spawners and start their spawning run as early as July. Atlantic salmon can range from 5 to 20 lbs. Fishing techniques are similar to steelhead fishing methods.
Brown TroutBrown trout enter the river from mid-September to mid-November. Brown trout are also on a spawning run, but will feed heavily on salmon eggs. It can be difficult to target brown trout, but one option is fishing downstream from actively spawning salmon with egg sacs and egg imitating flies and plastics. Brown trout range from 2 to 20 lbs.
For current fishing information a fishing hotline is available at Region 7 Fishing Hotline or by calling (607) 753-1551.
For current water level on the Salmon River call 1-800-452-1742 code 365123.
The five major gamefish are Chinook and Coho salmon, Atlantic salmon (or landlocked salmon), brown trout, and steelhead. Smallmouth bass are also found in the river. The Salmon River is stocked yearly with around 300,000 Chinook salmon, 80,000 Coho salmon, 120,000 Washington strain steelhead, 40,000 skamania strain steelhead and 30,000 Atlantic salmon. Natural reproduction does take place in the Salmon River but to what extent this adds to the fishery is not known. The Salmon River is an important part of the Lake Ontario salmon and trout fishery. Some of the returning salmon and steelhead to the Salmon River make their way to the Salmon River Fish Hatchery. These fish are then used for egg collection and the resulting fish are stocked into many Lake Ontario tributaries, along with the Salmon River. A total of 1.76 million Chinook salmon are stocked annually by NYSDEC into Lake Ontario.
Special RegulationsSalmon River has some special fishing regulations, these can be found in your fishing guide in the section Great Lakes and Tributary Regulations. There are two catch and release fly fishing only areas. Conventional fly fishing equipment is required. The area above the County Rte. 52 bridge in Altmar is open from September 15 to May 15. The upper section is located adjacent to County Rte. 22 above the Salmon River Hatchery and is open April 1 to November 30.

September is National Family Meals Month. After rolling my eyes at another monthly recognition, I thought about it and realized eating as a family ties in with what we do here and is just another step in the circle of creating the next generation of ethical sportsmen and women.
As a Midwest small-town family of the 60s and 70s, one thing our family most always did together was eat. The dinner table was where you caught up on the day’s activities, whether work or school, where big brothers picked on little sisters, and where my mom was always the last one to finish eating. As most good Midwestern families know, THE meal of the week was Sunday dinner (for non-Midwesterners, “dinner” is the Sunday noon meal - otherwise, dinner and supper are interchangeable as proper evening meal terminology all other days of the week). That’s when mom broke out the cast iron for the pot roast, REAL mashed potatoes, and dark brown gravy made from the roast residue (not from a jar or packet)…oh, and don’t forget the green beans, usually home-canned. As the children aged, and got involved in activities and working, the weekday meals together were less frequent, but there was always the Sunday meal. Even on our camping trips, we sat around the picnic table and ate meals together.
How many people have regular family meals now? According to a 2013 Harris poll, only 30% of American families share a meal every night. We’re busy. Kids are being shuttled here and there for sports and activities at a MUCH younger age than when I was young. Are you setting aside one day or night per week to have a family meal?
Many families that hunt & fish together often gut and fillet together AND enjoy the rewards together later. They enjoy the family time outdoors, then the time around the cooking equipment and the table. From fried panfish to smoked trout to grilled backstraps to venison casseroles and slow cooker wild turkey breasts, the game we hunt and fish is also, more often than not, what we eat, often breaking bread not only with family members, but sharing with friends.
Some families don’t hunt and fish, but still enjoy cooking and having big family meals once in a while. We give you many resources here in this blog for recipes - some easy, some a little more time-consuming - so you can have family meals together more often. Slow cookers, chicken, chowder, meatloaf…there is something for everyone’s taste. Improvise, like we often do. Don’t have venison? Use beef. Don’t have crappie? Use tilapia.
Take the time, teach your kids, commit to one more meal together per week, gather round the table, unplug, eat and communicate. Your mother would be proud of you.
Here are some of the popular recipes we’ve shared over the past five years. To see others, visit search blogs.basspro.com!
Enjoy!

One of my absolute favorite things to witness is someone’s introduction to firearms and shooting. There is so much to learn and experience, but luckily you have a lifetime to try and check it all out. With my blog series about Finding Your Guns Groove (Part One and Part Two), I have broken down some steps that I believe all firearm owners should go through. But part of the underlying concept of those series has been about choosing a handgun. So I decided to start another series to compliment the other, and we are going to look at what I would pick for certain firearms. And we will start things off with looking at shotguns.
Shotguns might be the most utilitarian firearm out there. They can be used for hunting, target practice and home defense. Many people who only own one firearm have a shotgun. They are pretty simple to operate and extremely fun. The inexpensiveness for the ammunition is also a big help. You have basically three kinds of actions for shotguns: semi-auto, break and pump.
Semi-autos feed one round after the other with no manipulation being required of the shooter. Once the first round is racked, you can start shooting. There is a tubular magazine that stores a certain allotted amount of shells for that firearm.
Break actions come in single-shot, side by side or over-under style shotguns. You break the shotgun open at a hinge where you may then load and fire it. As you open it after shooting, the empty cases will be extracted and you can place in new ones.
Pump-actions, work off the same tubular magazine principle that semi-autos do but require the shooter to “rack” the pump action forward and back each time to chamber a round. If you shoot and don’t rack in another round, nothing will happen.
My choice for a first shotgun would be the Mossberg 500 All-Purpose. This is a good gun at a great price point. I believe that your first shotgun should be a pump-action. It teaches shooters shot-control as they can just through shells downrange like with a semi-auto and the follow up shot takes longer with a pump than say an over-under. I like the Mossberg because they have a good reputation and just a good universal firearm.
One of the things I love most about this firearm is the tang-safety. This means the safety is on the grip on the gun, which makes it very easy to operate and visually check. Most shotguns have their safety on or near the trigger guard which makes one twist the gun to get a visual check on it.
I also make the argument for a pump-action as the first, because it is a great home defense gun. Many will tell you that simply the sound of racking a pump-action shotgun is enough to deter intruders.
My theory on purchasing a firearm, especially if it is your first is go with something that handles multiple tasks with the most room for uses. Like I wouldn’t go with a .410 for your first shotgun, as that gauge (caliber actually) is limited in its use. I would honestly suggest a 20 gauge for one’s first shotgun as it is an effective gauge that one can shoot comfortably all day. If you have shot a shotgun before and know how to handle a 12 gauge, then go with that but otherwise I believe a 20 would do someone just fine.
This shotgun is also synthetic, as opposed to wood. I love the look and feel of wood, but the practicality of synthetic is too much to ignore. (You can always pick up a nice, wood shotgun later in life.)
So congratulations to the Mossberg 500 All-Purpose for being my pick for one’s first shotgun. Next time we will take a look at rifles.
-Giddy-Up!!

While we use the grill and smoker year round at our house, we go into overdrive in the warmer months. That’s when our garden and the farmer’s markets offer up the least expensive and tastiest fresh veggies to roast outdoors. A veggie I’ve added to my must-have lists is the roasted beet.
Pickled beets are they only way I’ve ever had beets. I like them, but don’t buy them. They’ll show up on my plate, if they’re on a salad bar. However, last year, a friend gave us beets from their garden and, as usual, I said, “We should be able to roast these on the grill.”
I did, we do, and now we have another veggie to add to our roasting collection!
The most challenging part of this project is peeling the beets, especially when they’re small. Be prepared for a colorful look to your hands afterwards — it will look like you’ve been soaking them in a nice Merlot!
Cut the greens off the beets, peel and quarter. Depending on the size of the beets, you may want to halve the quarters, too.
Spread a sheet of heavy duty foil on the counter.
Place the beets in a bowl, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, and season generously with fresh ground black pepper (or pepper blend seasoning), garlic powder and a twist or two of ground Mediterranean or kosher salt. Stir them around so everything is well covered.
Dump them on the foil.
Pull the foil up on each side, long ways, and seal, creating a good solid seam. Fold the ends up, sealing them tightly.
(You can also used a veggie roasting grid, made specifically for the grill. But the foil pouch takes up less room if you want to use the grill for other items at the same time.)
Put them on the grill on indirect heat. On our grill, we have the back burner off, the middle on medium-low and the front on medium. Close the lid and roast on the grill for about 45 minutes.
What’s nice is you can throw something else on the grill, while they’re roasting. Serve them over some saffron rice, with some butterfly chops, and you have a colorful, tasty summer meal!

So this month will give us our fifteenth article in the Tie One On blog series. We have covered many of the classics fly patterns, a few knot options to try out and the off-hand fishing lure. This month we will take a look at a pattern that is a must for every trout fisherman’s fly-box, and I’d even put it out there for bass and some panfish as well. It’s big. It’s yellow. It aint Big Bird. It is… the Yellow Stimulator.
The Yellow Stimulator is a dry fly that rides high. It has ample amounts of hackle and hollow hair that keeps it afloat and easy to spot while being fished. The bright yellow coloration also helps a fisherman keep his eye on it. It simulates several prey species for trout, including grasshopper, stonefly or caddis.
It typically ranges between size 6 to 10, but as always there are numerous variations to this. I have seen sometimes where the pattern has rubber legs attached to it. You can tie this pattern in any vibrant color, usually orange as the substitution, but one of the prettiest flies I have seen in a while was one of these tied to replicate the Royal Coachman pattern.
Since this fly rides high and has a little extra heft to it, the yellow stimulator is quite popularly used with a wet fly dropped behind it. But this pattern really shines during golden stonefly hatches.
Until next time.

Feral pigs - free-ranging populations of wild pigs - are now in at least 39 states. Experts estimate their numbers at around 5 million. The feral swine not only cause extremely extensive damage to crops and landscapes, but also can spread disease to other animals and people.
USDA Wildlife Specialist Josh Wisdom says while the feral swine problem in Iowa is not as prevalent as in nearby states, it is on the rise. In the past 10 years, there have been a little over 200 feral pigs reported killed in Iowa or state/federal agencies have removed them. Wisdom emphasizes that REPORTING is the key and they are putting out an all call for sportsmen and women everywhere to be a part of solution by reporting feral pigs they kill or even simply see.
Wisdom says the phrase “greedy as pigs” is around for a purpose. They will destroy our native wildlife, if the population continues to increase as it has, by eating everything in sight, almost literally. From the acorns that drop off the trees to the crops and rebuilt habitat, they will devour before anything else can get to it.
How can you help? If you see signs of feral swine or kill one, report it to your state wildlife or agriculture officials.
For more information, visit the USDA APHIS web site at http://ift.tt/187Bbeg.

So when it comes to checking out our RedHead Select Outfitters, the big-game-boys have really been stealing the show. Which is sad, because small game have been keeping us out in the fields for decades! So this month we are going to take a look at an outfitter that focuses on the “little guys”. Let’s see what Quail Creek Plantation has to offer!
Quail Creek Plantation is situated down in Okeechobee, Florida and has a lot to offer. They specialize in bob-white quail, pheasant and Osceola turkey hunting. The quail and pheasant season usually runs from October 1st until mid-March. The turkey season lasts for six weeks after the third Sunday of March. Besides those two seasons, they do have a full clay-shooting center that would delight any shot gunning enthusiast.
The quail hunts are broken down into half days and full days. Half day hunts come with 12 birds and the full day hunts come with 24. They are completely guided as well. They provide drinks and snacks during the hunt, and if you wish to partake in a breakfast or Southern style quail lunch they can be added on for a little extra, but worth it, charge. All of your birds will also be cleaned and packaged. They also have the option to add on extra birds if desired. Please note that hunters must be at least 14 years of age to hunt and they must have completed the hunter safety course prior to the hunt, but a Florida Hunting License is not required.
Their pheasant hunts are a little different, but something that should be on every hunter’s bucket list. They hold what is known as a “continental pheasant tower shoot”, which is where 400 pheasants and 300 wild pigeons are released from an elevated tower. This tower is surrounded by twelve shooting stations, which can hold two shooters. This hunt is held on only a few select days, so if you are serious about this contact them as soon as possible. All of your birds will be cleaned and packaged as well and it includes a gourmet meal.
And for those big ol’ gobblers, a lot is included with their package. The turkey hunts are 100% fair chase. This hunt is set up for three nights which includes: lodging, meals and two and a half days of guided hunting. During the down time you are also allowed to partake in such activities as: fishing, quail hunting, hog hunting and sporting clays. This is an awesome opportunity for any hunter.
Besides the amazing hunting opportunities, the place itself is beautiful! It has all of the characteristics and charm that you would expect out of a world-class Southern hunting plantation. They also have a Décor store on the property that features one-of-a-kind rustic, lodge and western furnishings. Their website is full of a bunch of commonly asked questions and helpful hints to prepare you for an amazing time. Some of my favorite times outdoors have been with good friends watching dogs work the field, this would definitely be a trip of a lifetime.

So interestingly enough, I thought I had covered this month’s Healthy Hunter topic but apparently I haven’t! This part of a healthy lifestyle is a part of your daily routine that only takes a few moments but can add a lifetime of benefits for you. And just like mama used to always say before you started your day, “Don’t forget to take your vitamins!” But with such a saturated market of supplements, vitamins and products it can be intimidating on knowing where to start. And different people need different things. And then depending on if you follow Western or Eastern practices, you get into a whole world of confusion. Which is why today I am going to list out my four essential every-day doses of vitamins and supplements.
Number One- Multivitamin
Now in a perfect world, we would all get the exact amount of vitamins that we need from what we consume. Of course this rarely happens. So adding a multivitamin to your daily regimen can be a big help! These pills cover many of your essential vitamin needs and then some. And many of them come formulated for women, men or children. Some also come formulated for certain age groups. And the greatest break-through in the multivitamin industry over the past couple years… gummy vitamins for adults!
Number Two- Fish/Krill Oil
Some people swear by it, others don’t believe in it. Some say clear research shows how much it helps and others say it hasn’t been studied long enough. The basic gist is that it helps with your skin, joints and heart health. My personal belief on taking this kind of supplement is this: Splurge for the good stuff. Most people don’t like taking fish oil anyways, but buying cheap stuff really isn’t worth it. You’ll want to go with a recommended brand that comes from good sources. That is why many people have switched to krill oil as well. Also a fun trick is to freeze your fish oil pills to help eliminate their “off-putting texture”.
Number Three- Vitamin C
My theory is that enough Vitamin C can cure anything. Some studies have almost proven that to be true. This essential vitamin helps boost your immune system, and considering all the different germs and things you come into contact with adding a few extra of these won’t hurt. I include these on top of what I get from my multivitamin already. You can take it either as a pill or get a dissolving mix for inside water. Just know that too much vitamin c can cause “stomach issues” so don’t overtake it.
Number Four- Probiotics
This may be the newest supplement of the ones to make this list, but it has grown in popularity immensely. A probiotic uses healthy bacteria to help regulate your stomach. (Yes, just like Activia always says.) Your body can use all the help it can get, considering what most of us consume and then where it comes from. Adding a probiotic to your vitamin line-up can be a big help. Just note that most of these need to be kept in a refrigerator. Just like with fish oil, splurge for the good stuff.
Got a certain vitamin or supplement you would add on or take off that list? Share it below and reasons why! Until next time!

September fishing has been extremely productive, especially for the Stripers! Bass fishing is also good and while the Crappie may be running a bit on the small side, the numbers are good.
The Striper bite continues to be excellent and finding fish has been fairly easy, just idle or troll along the river channel, the lower end creek channels and pockets and gulley’s running into the aforementioned creek and river channel. If you cover enough of these areas, you should see some really good groups of fish. One trick that may expedite the finding fishing process-key on the middle sections of the lower end channels, and particularity any bends in the channels. This has been a very good pattern, very consistent, and may save you some searching.
The techniques are the same, trolling Chipmunks on Lead core or pulling umbrellas are both racking up good numbers, but these techniques are for the most part yielding smaller fish. Live Herring on the downline and power reeling both being extremely productive for both numbers and size. The downline bite has been strong, but be aware of one thing - for some reason, the fish will take the bait and move up, quickly, as opposed to swimming down. If you see one of your downlines go completely slack, grab the handle and crank, fast, so that you can catch up to the fish and get the line tight. The same is true with the power reeling, you’ll hook a fish and it may run straight up. When that happens crank hard to keep the line tight or there is reasonable chance he shakes the bait free and you are left with a big one that got away story. The big Magnum spoons, Chipmunk Jigs and Herring are all good choice for the power reeling. Fishing is good all day, but afternoon/evenings seem to be the best.
Bass fishing is also good, with not much change to report here. The fish are using a big depth range, with some fish showing up shallow and others being caught as deep as 45 feet. I think the best areas are humps and long tapering points from 25 feet to as deep as 45 feet. The deeper end of that depth range will generally produce the bigger fish, but fewer numbers. Robos on the drop shot are good for numbers and consistency, Moring Dawn, green Shiner, and Warmouth have been good color choices for the worms this week. The Chattahoochee Green Pumpkin Jig is also a good producer, and Fish Heads and Flutter spoons are good to have on hand to cast at fish you see suspending over these areas. Many of the fish are not relating to brush making them easy to on the sonar, so graph an area thoroughly to locate the biggest concentrations of fish.
Crappie fishing is good, with lots of numbers but the larger fish seem to be a little tough to come by. Brush piles have been the best structures, and piles that top out around 10 to 12 feet have been holding good numbers of fish. Any brush may hold fish, but many of the fish seem to be in the middle parts to backs of the creeks, especially flats that are adjacent to a channel. Going up lake will be your best bet, say from Little Hall and up ion the Chestatee side, and into Little River/Wahoo creek, or up the ‘Hooch from Little River up. Popeye jigs and soft plastics will are both producing well. I think fishing is best in the early am, so get your Crappie dinner and then go catch the Afternoon striper bite!
Good Fishing!

With summer coming to an end and the temperatures dropping it is starting to feel a lot like fall. Though we are thankful for the cooler weather, the temperature drop at night can put a damper on many fun camping trips planned for the next couple of months. A campfire is a perfect way to put you into the camping spirit as well as stay warm as we continue into the chilly nights ahead. Luckily here at your local Bass Pro Shops, we have a selection of great fire starting materials from many top brands: Light My Fire, Coghlan’s, and Ultimate Survival Technologies. Not only do the brands create great products, you can own one yourself without having to break the bank. All the products we will discuss are under $15.00.
Light my Fire is a Swedish Bran that specialized in camp mess kits and fire starters. Their Firesteel 2.0 Scout is one of the more popular fire starters that we sell. This is a set that consists of a ferro rod and a metal striker that when slid across the rod creates a spark that is over 5,000 degrees! The unit itself is durable and will last over 3,000 strikes. The striker and the starter rod come attached on a string so you don’t have to worry about losing one or the other. In addition to strikers, Light My Fire also sells a collection of fire starting materials which they call Tindersticks. These Tindersticks are natural wood that has a high resin content that makes it highly flammable and long lasting.
Another popular outdoor brand is Ultimate Survival Technologies. They take the system of a sparking rod and a striker and simplify it into one concise package. This combination they call the Sparkie. The Sparkie can shoot sparks with a simple push allowing one to sart a fire by simply placing down kindling and pushing the Sparkie towards it. Unlike other brands where you have to fumble with making sure you shoot the sparks in the correct direction and with enough force, the sparkie ensures that every time you strike it you get a spark. In addition Ultimate Survival Brands has fire starter tinder titled Wetfire. Wetfire as its name suggests can light under many harsh conditions and will ignite with just one spark even when wet.
Tired and true brand Coghlans provides the standard for fire starters. Their fire starter is the standard rectangular system people might recognize from survivor and many survival television shows. The block is used with a knife to create sparks. White this is not as simplistic as the systems created by other brands, this is the original design for fire starters and has lasted for many years. Coghlans has a collection of tinder as well. Their firesticks are waterproof and will quickly ignite and stay lit to ensure you have the best change of starting your fire.
So as you gear up for you fall camping excursions come down to Bass Pro and check out these great products that will help you create a fire fast and a fire that will last!
