Ausable River Salmon Fishing- An Anglers Dream
AuSable River Salmon Fishing- An Anglers Dream by Eliseo Lao The AuSable River salmon is best in the area of the river closest to Lake Huron between the lake and Foote Dam, approximately 30 miles upriver from the lake. This part of the AuSable River is usually fished in the spring months of March through early May and in the fall between October and early November. Chinook and Atlantic salmon are the most frequently caught in the AuSable River salmon season, with brown trout, steelhead, and smallmouth bass being other species that are often fished at the same time in other parts of the river. The West Branch of the AuSable River salmon area is best known for fly-fishing opportunities. The Adirondack Mountains provide an amazing background and the typically warm spring and fall weather makes these waters very enjoyable. It is important to consider the type of equipment that you will need when these waters, as there are several options. Typically for shore a good set of chest waders is important and since the footing

in the bottom of the river tends to be mostly rocks, non-slip or felt-soled waders are recommended over studded or rubberized soles to prevent slipping. Depending on the type of the angler is choosing, a rod of eight to nine feet is considered ideal. Since larger tree branches typically overhang the AuSable River salmon areas, longer rods are often not practical. A four to six weight line and a seven to nine foot leader with one of any number of flies attached it really all the equipment that is needed. Some areas of the AuSable River salmon area are designated as no kill areas, most notably the area around the town of Wilmington. This no kill area is popular with people that are new to the area or those that just wish to fish for the day. The popularity of the AuSable River salmon continues to grow, with many people enjoying the accessibility and beautiful scenery in the area. Eliseo is an avid guy.
