man no kidding,i live 2 city blocks from the Oswego river ,i am a true east coaster.please and i mean please do not stereotype us because our dept. of tourism does not have a clue.i will agree the fish in our ad is dog ass ugly and i might ad the guy holding it has on the dorkiest looking hat .but if i remember correctly the fish was some kind of igfa line class record.our salmon runs are comprised of the skankiest salmon ever concocted in a hatchery,i hate our salmon fishery ,it is mainly geared tworads the summer lake fishery(downrigger style)but our steelhead runs are some of the finest anywhere in terms of assessability.our dec just just did a creel study and surmised that a average angler spends approx. 23 hours to catch just one.what a joke ,more like 1 fish per hour if you know what to use,sts and certain web sites ,this one included,give more than enough info to be sussesful around here.hey didnt capt. armond castiglla do a piece on the salmon river for sts last year?that river is only a half hour away.
