Early October Update

The run here in WNY is starting to get established.  The mostly dry/warmer weather has delayed this years run by a couple weeks it looks like.  The cooler weather and spotty rain has brought in some pods of fish here and there but no serious movements or concentrations yet.  The low light periods are when the fish seem to be doing the most movement, however this is the time of year where the salmon just don't seem to stop.  Streams with dams such as 18 Mile Creek and Oak Orchard have medium concentrations of fish at the dams with no real concentrations of fish in the more fly friendly areas.  Smaller streams are running clear and have salmon scattered all over the creek. 

The sluggish start to the run has kept the crowds down for now but the fishing has been spotty. 
Be sure to check out my YouTube page for fishing videos as well as fly tying tutorials!  If you are interested in booking a trip with me this fall please send me an email (wnyflyguy@gmail.com) as days are filling up!  Thanks again for reading and tight lines!
