WNY Fly Fishing Equipment Review 2012

Colville's Custom Tackle has Amundson fly boxes in and I can tell you they are very nice!!!
The boxes are just like the C&F Design waterproof with slit foam and the seal around the top, They come in three sizes small $5.59, med $7.59, lg $16.99. as you can see the price is about half of what the C&F boxes come in as, the store has a very good supply of them in so hurry, as with anything that works it will go fast.

WNY Fly Fishing Stream Report 10/22/2012

 
Mike and I met some good friends to chase some kings and have some fun. The fishing was very good and everyone hooked fish. The fish took eggs and buggers and alot of line, jumping and cartwheeling all over the place. The ladies had a ball with their first kings on the fly!!!!!

WNY Fly Fishing Stream Report 10/21/2012

The rain did little for most of streams and then some it raised quite alot , the catt spiked up nicely and should be ready in a few days if we get no more rain. The L.O. tribs on the other hand didn't get alot of rain and are running just about right for this time of year. The numbers of fisherman on the streams is increasing, so pick your spots wisely and set out your anchor if you want to keep it, this is combat fishing at it's finest.

WNY Fly Fishing Stream Report 10/14/2012

Well the rain did very little for any of the creeks, the big L.O. ones have fish in them as well as alot of people. The Erie tribs except for the big one are a waste of time with little to no water in them. The catt has fish into Gowanda, but you have to walk to find them, streamers have been the ticket so far, with white lighting my best producer.
