aussiew Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Good brown trout in the White Mountains in Arkansas. Also, beautiful Spring wildflowers and warm, sunny days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolly Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Good timing for your leave, as the spawning season is right around the corner. The most popular streams are 18 mile (up by the mouth, rt. 5, rt. 20 hamburg), cattaraugus creek on the seneca indian reservation, canadaway creek (fredonia). There are also some smaller tributaries that are a good option if these places are too crowded. PM me if you are interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mile High Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Anywhere in Cattarragus or Allegheny Counties are great brother.. If you're really serious about this area pm me and I'll give you detailed information. Also Norhtern Pennsylvania isn't bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been there, but it is a hot spot. NYS does a lot of stocking especially in Cattaraugus and Chautauga counties. Steelhead runs off the lake too. Of course a lot of that is seasonal. Try a charter on Lake Erie. In the summer, the breakwall under the Peace bridge, and also the north end of Squaw Island at the locks. Shore fishing is tough around Buffalo in my opinion. Be sure to have a license too. DEC is really checking a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ways, he tells me last summer he is quitting his charter business. Sponsored by a major tackle mfg'er, he was going to fish the Gulf of Mexico full time. Where the hell was I when they handed out that job?????????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Hansen Forever Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Are you referring to those tiny little fishes you find in the streams of western NY, or are you referring to the hawgs that inhabit the rivers of Montana? The best fly fishing for rainbow or browns is either on the Missouri between Helena and Great Falls, or up on the middle fork of the Flathead, south of Glacier. You ain't going to find any big ones looking in New York. Been there, and wonder why you guys call it fishing, when its more like netting. My dad thought it was pretty cool watching the fishermen up on Catherine Creek, north of Elmira. I thought it was hysterical and wondered why they don't just use dynamite for all the people there. You want great trout fishing, you go to Montana. You want great Walleye, or Northern Pike, you come here to MN, we got plenty and you might not see anyone for an entire day!

txbillsjunkie Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Not to start a pissin' contest here, but I bet Alaska Darin's fishing grounds put us all to shame, at least as far as trout,salmon,grayling and halibut are concerned...
