I live here in central NY state, its only 110 miles to Pulaski, about 2 hours away..
I went once years ago, and caught a nice salmon first trip there..
Never went back.. the madness I witnessed, the fights, threats of violence, screaming, yelling, cursing, nastiness and horrific behavior i witnessed on that one trip kept me from ever going again.. It was a zoo to put it very mildly.. masses of " less than friendly" guys fishing shoulder to shoulder, and overly competitive and decidedly aggressive attitudes from most.

Absolute combat zone "fishing".. Yes, I don't catch big pacific salmon in other waters I fish here in NY state, but i enjoy quiet, contemplative, productive fishing trips in peaceful surroundings..

It might be worth a try, maybe you might have the right day/place/vibe on that day, and things may have become more civil.. A Monday might be a lot better than the sunday i went, years ago... that one day has kept me from the area for years...

Its a mecca for a lot of people, and they come from hundreds of miles away, but as for me, NO thanks... bob
