WNY Fly Fishing Stream Report 6/6/2025
The fishing continues to be outstanding with lots of water and bugs to keep the fish very happy as well as the fishermen. I had a very good friend come up from PA to fish with me and we had a ball until the rains washed us out but still lots of fish caught and a lot of laughs, we got them on just about everything the usual suspects buggers, nymphs swung and stripped

WNY Fly Fishing Stream Report 6/4/2025
The hatches have been crazy on most if the streams this year, it about time. The fishing has been fantastic with fish caught on just about everything. Everytime out has been double digits with a mixed bag of bows and browns. The caddis hatch this morning was legendary, I cant wait for tonight.
