We have fished for salmon (Chinook) and steelhead (Skamania strain) in the Salmon and Oswego rivers of upstate New York. Fishing can be very good, very fast, as these rivers are heavily stocked and Lake Ontario produces rapid growth. Fishing in the fall for Chinook is a mob experience, and many of the fish are snagged. The scenery is unparalleled, with the leaves in the fall being stunning.
