Salmon

(6/25/06) Because of small stream size and strainers putting in on the Jeremy at Old Rt. 2 (Old Hartford Rd) is not much fun. None of the strainers are particularly dangerous, there are just a lot of them and they are difficult getting around. A far easier put-in with only one easy strainer to deal with, is to put in on the Jeremy downstream of the unrunnable dam in North Westchester. At that point, the Rt. 149 bridge crosses the river and there is easy access to the water on river left. There is also easy parking at the abandoned paper mill across the road. A good level for this river is 675 cfs or 4.3 on the online gage for the Salmon near East Hampton. It is my estimate that the river is running just slightly higher than medium at this level.
