The fishing today was crazy, I have only seen the Hendrickson this big one other time and that was about 15yrs ago on the same stretch of water. The time was about 230 to 4 o'clock and ir was non stop action on top. I got fish swing wets, nymphing and of course on top. There was some very LG fish taking the bugs and it was a great thing to see.

The weather is starting to come around and it's about time, some of the bigger creeks are still high but coming down. The wellsville trout derby was this weekend and as always it's a zoo.

WNY Fly Fishing - Venting
I need to vent a little, I fish PA and get regular updates on the fishing as well as stocking news. They sent out an email saying all stocking was stopped due to high water conditions which is fantastic, i called our stocking hot lone and they have stocked this week in these high water flows in some creeks over 900cfs what sense does that make? The fish have little chance of holding anywhere and they get flushed down stream, i have said this for years our dec should just copy everything that PA does and our fishery would be so much better

WNY Fly Fishing - Thoughts
I have heard, but not confirmed that the Seneca Nation is going to raise the fishing lisc up a lot for both NY residents and even more for out of state fishermen, while ill agree for out of state lisc going up i have a big problem with the nys residents paying more, after all we pay for the fish to be stocked in the lake and they are gouging us to fish on their land for something we paid for in the first place, if it wasnt for the stocking programs they would not make the amounts of money they do from people coming down and buying gas/food lisc while fishing.
