We had a handful of guests fish the run today and although we did have some slush ice along with built up bank ice, one angler did well in the middle section of the river pinning with a float. using squirmy worms, getting into double digits.  All the fish were steelhead, mostly silver with a couple colored up with that wintertime pink hue on their gill plate(s). The forecast for tonight is  Snow likely. High 28F. Winds W at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of snow 100%. 1 to 3 inches of snow expected. Note:  due to potential lake effect snow and other forms of inclement weather conditions during the winter season, please monitor the weather site for Pulaski, NY (zip code 13142) forecasts before getting on the road; remember lake effect snow typically occurs in relatively narrow bands, and that immediately adjacent areas may be clear of snow, therefore loo at the forecast for the general area as well when planning your travel.
