WNY Fly Fishing Stream Report 11/30/2014
The erie tribs are getting some runoff right now, so they will have color and how much depends on where they are in the snow count. The L.O. tribs are in very good shape, so get out and froth the water.

The smaller erie tribs are low and clear, med sized ones have a little color to them and the catt is a few days away from fishing.

WNY Fly Fishing Stream Report 11/19/2014
Well the snow has come in a big way here in WNY, the total so far is over 100" in three days, that is a years worth of snowfall here normally. The flip side is that all of it will be gone in a few days with the rain and 50 temps for the weekend, so we will be under water for the next week and this should bring in a big push of fish to the smaller tribs.

WNY Fly Fishing Stream Report 11/8/2014
Jeff, Dale and myself went out to a med sized erie trib today with very good results, we caught quite a few steelhead and one small brown. All of the fish took egg flies in color peachy king and pink lady.

WNY Fly Fishing Stream Report 11/3/2014
The catt was in perfect shape today and should stay that way for the next few days before the weather sets in. The smaller erie tribs still have little to no water in them, the L.O. tribs are in fair to good shape with the salmon going and the browns and steelhead moving in greater numbers.
