Well inland season is almost here and the circus well be in full swing very soon, the streams are being stocked this week and for the life of me i cant figure out why they stock some waters with 60 to 70 fish. It seems like a total waste of resources to do this. They should follow P.A's stocking and fishing regs it would be so much easier and makes more sense for the fish and the resources.

WNY Fly Fishing Stream Report 3/17/2024
Well with the lake runs almost over, its time to look inland and the report i seen from the Oatka it was very good with some very nice fish taken a couple days ago on nymphs. the cooler temps this week will put a damper on fishing, but its still march and we have some time to warm up.

WNY Fly Fishing Stream Report 3/9/2024
For everyone who doesnt know the genny is now just like all the other streams regarding regs, meaning the stream is closed to kill/keeping fish until April first, you can still fish it, but it must be no bait and all fish released unharmed back. Scott Cornett from the DEC said this was 30yrs too late for the genny but it will make an improvement in the years to come.
