I'll be up next weekend,I hope they get some water up there.The little creaks are dry and there's no water in the reservoir.There are fish but nowhere near a run.

The run of 2012 is something everyone wishes for again! But they are in there was just talking to a buddy up there . Dsr is the main area right now but they are spreaded through the river

They need a big push of rain to move them just like the rest of our trout and salmon on the East coast.  Let's hope that starts tonight and goes all week long.  We are currently looking at a 2nd straight year of horrific spawning flows in NJ, PA, NY, etc.  That's trout, salmon and steelies.

Last year sucked when we were there. I think we did well the year before. Hope they get rain big time.

You ain't kidding.  I was riding around NW NJ this past weekend like I usually do, and rode over the Musconetcong.  It's not a river, it's a stream.  I've never seen it this low even in the summer time.  It must have been pulled back from the shore at least 15'-20'.  I crossed south of Hackettstown.  It's scary low.

Heard there is fish through out the river but need some good rain and some more cooler weather to get a good push.

I was up this past Sunday with my son and we did very well, Great Day. The fish have been moving in everyday since last Monday. There are fish from the top to the bottom of the Salmon River. It is already better than last year. As mentioned already the first good shot of rain should get a bigger push moving. We fished the DSR and there were Kings and Cohos moving in most of the day just not in Huge numbers.It should only get better from here.

My buddy has been up there for a week and caught fish every day.  Some days it's hook up at will and others you have to hunt for them.  There have been a lot of Cohos caught the last 2 days.  Like OMC said, it's already better than last year and it should keep getting better.  The river is running @ 350 right now but there is talk about lowering it to 185 by the end of the week if they don't get rain this week.  They are supposed to get rain Thursday & Friday (hopefully).  I have a couple of friends that guide up there so I'll try and keep you updated.

at least theres some good news. river is running at 350? thats a creek for salmon river. maybe ill hold off another month and wait for steelhead/do rain dances, thanks for all the info guys. 

[Double G]

Yes Salmon River is 350 and I just heard they are definitely reducing the flow to 185 on Thursday if they don't get the rain.
