Your Lake Oswego New York Drift Boat and Wade Fishing Guide
With 28 years on the Salmon River and Oswego waterfront, I’ve dedicated my life to mastering these currents. My approach is simple: I use my decades of daily logs and local data to put you on fish, regardless of the water levels or weather. I provide the high-end tackle and the heated drift boats needed for a professional day, whether you’re a serious angler or a family looking for your first trophy hook-up. When you step onto my boat, you’re getting an honest, hard-working session backed by nearly thirty years of regional expertise

28 years of local mastery landing trophy fish in Lake Ontario and Salmon Rivers.
I’ve spent the last 28 years learning every rock and run on the Salmon River and Oswego system. When you step onto my boat, you aren’t just getting a rowing service; you’re getting nearly three decades of daily logs and local data. My goal for every session is to cut through the guesswork and put you exactly where the fish are holding, whether we are navigating a high-water release in Pulaski or a technical drift in Altmar.
I take a lot of pride in the gear we use. I provide premium, high-end tackle specifically tuned for Lake Ontario's heavy-hitting King Salmon and acrobatic Steelhead. From custom-tied flies to perfectly balanced rods, I ensure your equipment is a match for the trophy fish we are targeting. For families and beginners, I’m right there to walk you through the technique, and for serious anglers, I’m ready to dial in the fine details that make the difference between a hit and a landed fish.
Fishing these rivers is my full-time life, not a part-time hobby. I’ve seen every type of weather and water condition the Northeast can throw at us, and I’ve rigged my heated drift boats to keep us comfortable and effective through it all. I look forward to sharing this water with you and putting my experience to work on your next personal best.
