WNY Fly Fishing Stream Report 3/24/2012

The trout were bug drunk today, the BWO hatch was out of site and the fishing was just incredible. Paul , Jeff and myself went out to fish the Genny. The weather was a big concern with all of the rain forecast but we still pushed forward and had a fantastic day. The fishing started out slow, but quickly heated up to an all out feeding frenzy on top!!!!!!  we caught fish on just about every method you could use, swinging buggers, wets, nymphing and even on the surface, yes we caught fish on top in march!!!! not just a few but at least 2 dozen on the dries alone.

WNY Fly Fishing Stream Report 3/18/2012

Andy and I went to oatka creek today for some inland fun, the fishing was a little slow, but we did manage to land a few. Andy got the big fish of the day with a solid 18" brown while I caught a 14" brown with some smaller ones to boot. All of my fish were caught on a hares ear nymph under a indy in deeper water.

WNY Fly Fishing Stream Report 3/15/2012

I think that the lake run stuff is all but over with the exception being catt and the Niagara river. The warm temps and no water have pushed most of the fish out with some hanging around. Now lets talk about the inland streams, they should be in great shape and ready to fish. The stone's have been out in full force and maybe some olives might be popping now and then. The best way for now is to nymph them working the stream in a very slow manner searching every section. I use  a two fly setup  to cover more water columns and you can find out what the fish want faster than just one fly.
