@niggahigganum2 Sorry I didn't find this til late. But If you come back up, I would suggest soon, the Steelies will be in. I'd hit any good looking water between Altmar and Pineville pools. The Trestle pool is always a good starting point. I'd use 10lb main with a three to four foot 6-8lb flourocarbon leader. Use however many split shot it takes you to get a good bottom bouncing drift. With weight, it always depends on the water levels at the time.

@prosteelheader " but who the hell fishes 30 feet from the road along side a 20 foot tall? cement wall?" --> Thats where the fish are. You go to the fish.

you were also asking about leader stuff and the answer to that is a leader no longer than 4 feet and depending on the water cfs you need to adapt to how many shots u gotta put on. low or medium flow i like to use one #1 shot. u got any other questions just message me and ill see if i can help. good luck and tight line

@steelheadjake I was planning on going up there october 9th -11th. Where is a good place to fish on the SR at that time. This is going to be my first time going up there. And how long should the floro leader be. And how many split shot should i put on my leader.

@prosteelheader Welcome to Pulaski. When September hits the circus is in town. It's unfortunate though that people from out of town only see the snaggin concrete jockeys when they think of the SR. Truth be told, it's the best Salmon, Trout, and Steelhead fishery I've ever seen. Just stay clear of the town.

what kind of bait/lures you using? im new to salmon fishing...
King Salmon weigh in excess of 20 pounds. Trying to beach them with 10 to 15 pound test line is a bit difficult. If you use heavier line in clear water then you end up NOT hooking them. Too bad you do not understand fishing. As for the serenity, almost all rivers have towns, and you have to fish where the fish are unless you are one of those serenity guys who does not care if you CATCH.

a bit dificult? yeah? so what! does your family's survival depend on getting that fish to the bank in record time? if you cant beach a 20 pound salmon with 15 pound line then you got bigger problems than you think. if you can get it close enough to the shore to net it, then you should be able to beach it no prob!!! ive landed 30 pounders on 10 pound line here in washington. i agree, all rivers have towns. but who the hell fishes 30 feet from the road along side a 20 foot tall? cement wall?

No it does not. Yes many use smaller lines and beach the fish. I am happy that YOU can do that but not everyone is an EXPERT, and an Expert Ass. We each fish in our own way to enjoy the sport. You are nothing more than a snob whose abilities have made him smug.
