WNY Fly Fishing Stream Report 9/9/2025

 Low water everywhere is killing the fishery and with the Indians shutting down most of the rez its going to push everyone on the smaller tribs and until they get water good luck, maybe inland once the rains come will be better 

WNY Fly Fishing Stream Report 8/4/2025

 This year has got to be the worst year for our streams for the most part, very high water for most of the best months then crazy heat so far this summer. You could find conditions to fish but they were far and few between days, its even too hot the chase bass.

 No posts for the dog days of summer other than the tricos are out and you can get some very early morning fishing in before the furnace gets turned on

WNY Fly Fishing Stream Report 6/30/2025

 Summer time flows are here so fish early as the water is warming up and keep them wet, the fishing remains very good and the bugs are plentiful

WNY Fly Fishing Stream Report 6/13/2025

 more water headed this way again, dont get me wrong i like the water levels and the cooler temps but lets spread it out across the whole summer instead of getting it all at one time

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 5/26/2025

 The weather is starting to calm down and the water clearing and coming down, so the fishing is getting better and better. the amount of bugs one the water this past weekend was incredible, I haven't seen hatches like this since I was out west. The fish were caught on everyway from top to bottom and swinging away

WNY Fly Fishing Stream Report 5/19/2025

 the rain keeps coming and we are getting more this week again, when will this stop? dont get me wrong we need the rain but not all at once. It would be nice to spread it out over the summer to give the fish a break from the heat and the plant life as well

WNY Fly Fishing Stream Report 5/11/2025

 Going out this week hopefully to lower water levels on the bigger waterways, we got fish in very high water but wading was dangerous and the fishing very spotty

WNY Fly Fishing Stream Report 4/24/2025

 Most of the inland streams are in very good shape, henny's are coming off and the fish are focused on them. On a side note the Wellsville trout derby is this weekend so stay away from that watershed and arcade trout derby is May 3-4 so stay away from the zoo that follows them

WNY Fly Fishing Stream Report 3/20/2025

 The creeks are getting better and better with the warmer temps and rain we are getting on both Erie and L.O. tribs the fish are eager to hit streamers as well as egging it up

WNY Fly Fishing Stream Report 3/8/2025

 The streams are for the most part opened up, some of the lower sections might have ice jams at the mouths so  be careful on where you go. next week the temps are going to be very good and the bigger creeks/rivers should be in fine shape

WNY Fly Fishing Stream Report 2/17/2025

 Very cold temps with snow have locked a lot of the water here, so go to the fishing shows and see the new gear coming out this spring

WNY Fly Fishing - Alaska Patterns I Use

These are the flies i used in Alaska last year and will be this coming august. Tying on jigs is a big advantage when fishing in the huge rivers and heavy currents. The guides loved them because they sank fast swam easily and you can fish them in so many diff ways, i made my own style of polywogs in pink and more natural mouse colors. ill be sending them up with the guides months before we get there for a good work out and ill get feedback to tweak them if i need to for the trip
