WNY Fly Fishing Stream Report 5/23/2026


 Well we got out wed thru friday and absolutely killed it!!!!! Jon and myself both got krakens along with 30 fish days each. we used olive buggers and a dbl nymph rig with a combo of hares ears, pheasant tail soft hackles with tungsten beads that did the most damage and some stone flies. the fishing was best in the morning and went down hill as the day went on, the hatches were sporadic with a hodge podge of bugs coming off not in great numbers, but the fish were taking the emergers.

WNY Fly Fishing Stream Report 5/17/2026

 well, the weather is gotten better and so has the fishing, everything i drove over this weekend looked great. I took out my nephew and his best buddy for some fly fishing. the stream was a little high still, but the fish were hungry they both got trout on nymphs as well as buggers. there was some on top action, but it was very sporadic.
