Dirty Bill’s Guide Service

Dirty Bill’s Guide Service is a professional fishing guide and instructor in Altmar, a Salmon River community in Oswego County. Trips go after salmon, steelhead and brown trout, three of the fish that bring anglers to this part of Central New York, especially during the fall and spring runs.

Hiring a guide is a smart way to learn the river, from where fish are holding to how to present a fly or lure. Altmar is home to the Salmon River Fish Hatchery, and the stretch of river nearby is among the best-known fishing waters in the Northeast.
