The Salmon River in New York is a famous river known for its world class salmon and steelhead fishing. The Salmon River is only 17 miles long, but so many salmon move into this river from Lake Ontario to spawn. This river is stocked heavily with Chinook Salmon and Steelhead to go along with Coho and Atlantic Salmon as well. It is one of the most popular salmon fishing rivers on the east coast, so don’t plan on having this river all to yourself. Some of the more popular spots will have plenty of anglers fishing right along with you. It is known for good numbers of fish and some very big fish though, so the people that come here to fish are willing to deal with the crowds for a chance at a huge salmon or steelhead.
