Hello everyone

Headed to Buffalo, NY for a wedding tomorrow

Does anyone have a reccomendation for a guide or a fly shop out there?

Thanks in advance!

Here's a great link: http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/32658.html

I've fished the Wiscoy, Cattaraugus Creek and southern end of the Genesee for browns and had fun. Lots of public access on those streams.

Good luck

Hey JMills,

I am originally from Buffalo, NY (grew up fishing there). Oak Orchard Fly shop is the shop you're looking for. Do a search for them they have a forum with some information. The guys in the shop are real nice and should be able to help you out.

Just so you know, you need a state license for some areas and a tribal license for others.. Headed back there end of July to do some lake fishing for Walleye and Muskie.

Hey Jim -

I grew up there as well. There probably won't be a lot going on with steelhead, but trout / smallmouth should be good. Some suggestions:

1. Special reg section of the Wiscoy.
2. Cattaruagus (SP?) below rt 16.
3. Grand Island - the south & west side facing Canada - wade fishing for smallmouth and pike.
4. Breakwall extending out from the foot of Porter street for friggin' everything - bows, smallmouth, pike, etc.
5. Canadian side of the Niagara just north of Fort Erie. Drive North on the parkway, go underneath the railroad bridge and fish your way back up with big nymphs, streamers, caddis in the evening.
6. Lower Niagara Gorge on the Canadian side. Access through Niagara Glenn Nature Area.

PM me for details.

Nick at Oak Orchard knows his stuff and is a super cool guy.

Also, it's a bit out of your way but there were plenty of Atlantics being taken on the Salmon River last weekend during the spey clave.
