Summary
The park is stocked with rainbow trout, brown trout, and catfish, making it an ideal spot for fly fishing, baitcasting, and spin fishing. Additionally, the park offers easy access to hiking trails, playgrounds, and picnic areas for non-fishing activities.
The best time of year to visit Salisbury Park Fishing Area is during the spring and fall when the temperatures are mild, and the fish are most active. The average temperature during the spring is around 60 degrees Fahrenheit, and during the fall, it is around 70 degrees Fahrenheit. For the best fishing experience, anglers are advised to use earthworms, nightcrawlers, or salmon eggs as bait and to fish early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the fish are most active.

Angling Safety Guidelines
Check local fishing rules, seasons, size limits, and license requirements to ensure legal and sustainable angling.
Handle Fish Responsibly
Use wet hands, minimize air exposure, and release fish gently to improve survival rates when practicing catch-and-release.
Choose the Right Gear
Match your rod, line, and tackle to the species and conditions to increase success and reduce unnecessary harm to fish.
Respect the Waterway
Avoid disturbing habitat, prevent bank erosion, and keep a safe distance from spawning areas to protect ecosystems.
Keep It Clean
Pack out all line, hooks, bait containers, and trash—discarded gear can injure wildlife and degrade waterways.
