Paul Conklin
A guide who coaches instead of just fishing.
Pulaski, NY
Learn the swing. Read the water.
Paul Conklin guides salmon and steelhead anglers on New York’s Salmon River, with an emphasis on coaching, Spey casting and swinging flies. Walk-in and drift boat trips are tailored to the angler’s experience. His website also describes trout fishing on the West Branch Ausable, West Canada Creek and Hoosic River.
Take more than a catch home.
New anglers can build the skills to fish independently; experienced anglers can work on presentation and technique. Tell Paul what you want to learn and discuss the right trip.
Confirm the river, meeting arrangements, equipment, access and current rates directly with Paul.

About these readings
Almanac readings are separate from Paul's Guide Service’s fishing reports. Clarity is an estimate. Conditions vary along a river and do not establish access or safe wading.
