Know before you go

Fishing in Pulaski: local notes

The Salmon River runs 17 miles from the Lighthouse Hill Reservoir in Altmar to Lake Ontario at Port Ontario; about 12 miles have Public Fishing Rights.

Source: dec.ny.gov

Two catch-and-release fly-fishing-only areas: the Lower Fly Section (Rte 52 bridge in Altmar upstream 0.25 mile) Sep 15 – May 15, and the Upper Fly Section (hatchery boundary to the reservoir tailrace) Apr 1 – Nov 30.

Source: dec.ny.gov

From the mouth to the Rte 52 bridge, Aug 15 – Apr 14: no fishing from 30 min after sunset to 30 min before sunrise, one single-point hook with gap of 1/2 in or less, weight within 4 ft of the hook.

Source: dec.ny.gov

Sept 14, 2026: low reservoir levels delayed the baseflow increase (185 to 335 cfs) and kept the Lower Fly Section closed past Sept 15 until hatchery egg collection is met; the 16 miles below Rte 52 stay open.
