The Salmon River is one of the most prolific fisheries in the entire country, with dizzying counts of salmon and steelhead making their way through its waters to spawn each year. Both the Great Lakes record Chinook salmon (47 lbs 13 oz) and the world record Coho salmon (33 lbs 4 oz) were pulled from its waters. For reasons such as these, the Salmon River draws anglers not only from all over the northeastern US, but from all over the globe — which line its autumn-foliage draped and often picturesque banks as it winds its way to Lake Ontario.
