WNY Fly Fishing Stream Report 10/30/2022
All of the small erie tribs are very low and clear with some and i mean some fish in them, the catt is the only game in town and is clear and going down. The crowds will be in full swing with the nicer weather so expect to do a lot of walking

WNY Fly Fishing Stream Report 10/28/2022
The Catt is in full awing now with fish being caught all the way into the dam, the nicer weather has brought out hoards of guys, so choose your spots wisely. The fish are taking just about everything you throw at them, the smaller creeks have fish but are very low and clear.

WNY Fly Fishing Smith Optics Review - Guides Choice 7/26/2021
Smith Guide's Choice Bifocal Polarized Sunglasses
Love the way these
glasses cut through the water, and the bifocals a total game changer
with tying on small flies with super small hook eyes. I did not
experience any weirdness with trying to adjust to the bifocal aspect of
the glasses, premium Italian spring hinges, megol nose and temple pads, a
detachable sunglass leash, and premium 8-base Carbonic lenses: the
Guide's Choice is engineered for those that truly believe in the life on the water. I have been using Smith optics now for over twenty years and can tell you they are the finest glasses you can buy, so pick up a pair and see what you have been missing under the surface
