Corey Willey of Tightlines Fishing Guide Service has been guiding fishermen on the Salmon River near Pulaski, NY since 2000. This area is the best fishery on the east coast for Salmon and Steelhead as well as big Brown trout. Corey primarily fishes the Salmon River but also fishes the Oswego river and Black river and does some fishing on Lake Ontario as well. Corey guides mostly the rivers and tributaries near Pulaski, NY as well as the Alagnak river in Alaska - which is in the Katmai National Park at the Alaska Peninsula, Bristol Bay, Alaska. Corey knows he has the best job in New York and is happy to share his experiences with anyone willing to lend an ear.
Corey usually meets his clients first thing in the morning before sunlight (but the time can be adapted to whatever the client wants). Normally he will meet his clients for the day's fishing at either where they are staying or at one of the local shops.
Most guided salmon fishing trips usually last all day. The same goes for Brown trout and Steelhead fishing trips.
