We provide lunch, guides, flies/leaders/tippet, rods and reels if needed, you must bring waders and wading boots, sunglasses. This is the best way to start out fly fishing and learn from some of the best instructors in WNY.

WNY Fly Fishing - Stream Advisory

The water temps have reached critical for most of the trout streams here in WNY, so with that in mind give our cold water buddies a much needed break after this year of total raping on all streams. I have never the amounts of fishermen on the water taking so many fish in my life, the reports I have been getting from the guys who fish all over have said the same thing

WNY Fly Fishing Stream Report 6/13/2020

Paul and Jeff went out for inland and here is the report they gave me, the water was very cool in the am but as the day got warmer so did the water 67 was the reading they got, anyways the fishing was very good both underneath and on top. Mini buggers, nymphs and cahills seemed to be the best for the conditions.  Butter fingers Paul trying to get a pic of the fish and then he is marking this spot on GPS I guess for later fishing

WNY Fly Fishing Stream Report 6/8/2020

Well the weather gods are smiling down on us now and except for a small hiccup mid week of crazy heat. The fishing has been very good as of late, cahills, drakes, olives and of course caddis have been coming off daily. The bugs have been starting at around 630 and picking up as the night comes

WNY Fly Fishing Stream Report 5/20/2020

I went out with two of the finest people you will ever meet!!! Mike and Jeff have been long time friends and fishing buddies and went out to do some trout fishing. Well the water and the trout were very good, but the laughs were even better. I snapped the pics and these guys caught some very nice trout on caddis dries, buggers, wets and nymphs
