The fall salmon run on Lake Ontario tributaries is beginning with various stages of intensity, according to bait shops and fishing guides on waterways along the lake’s south shore.

Today begins a weekly report of the run’s status by NYup.com that will continue through Columbus Day weekend.

Here’s what we’re hearing at this point.
