Steelhead Lodge & Joe's

Nestled on the world-famous Salmon River in Pulaski, NY, Steelhead Lodge & Joe's Smokehouse Café offers an unforgettable fishing experience. Enjoy world-class steelhead fishing, river tubing, and cozy accommodations right on the water. The lodge features six private rooms, each with classic fishing lodge character, and offers continental breakfast and three-course dinner included with every stay. River tubing is available late spring through Labor Day, with drop-off and pick-up service. The Salmon River is known for its trophy-sized steelhead and salmon, with king salmon up to 28 lbs reported this week. For those who prefer to fish, the lower end of the river is producing well with smallmouth bass also present. The lodge is not a resort but a genuine fishing destination, drawing guests back year after year with its exceptional cooking. Need a guide?

The lodge is open 24/7, with reservations required for fall salmon season (September-November 2026). Call (315) 298-4371 to check availability and for updates on Joe's Smokehouse reopening. The lodge is situated in a beautiful, remote location with easy access to the river, making it the perfect base for your fishing adventure.
