Bill Hilts, Jr.: Jigging for king salmon gaining in popularity

With New York’s salmon fishing being as good as it’s been in 2024, there are a few diehard salmon fishermen who have taken fishing to a new level by jig fishing for kings. Isaac Nowak of Brockport is one of those anglers who has accepted the challenge.
“For area identification we would use the typical salmon ports to the west that usually hold large numbers of salmon for the summer,” says Nowak. “Ports like Wilson, Olcott, the Oak, and Sandy (creek) should all be very productive.”
