This past week was another
cold week, with not much fishing. Starting with Western New York, as you would
expect, all of our small Streams and creeks are still locked up an ice. For now
Our fishing is centered on The Genesee River and Oak Orchard River. The Genesee
River Water flows have been fluctuating a bit over the past week. Some days,
waterfalls are suitable for fishing and other days it is not. We are going to
need to evaluate the river conditions on a daily basis. Keep in mind there is
considerable amounts of shelf ice along the Genesee River. Caution is needed. Water
flows have Drop this past week. As result this water drop has not helped the
fishing. There is a few fish spread in the pools from the dam on down river.
Due to the recent water flow decrease, most of the fish are down river in the deeper
water. Fishing hear to we need to work around some ice. There is some shelf
ice, but it should not be much of an issue. As for flies, I do not expect much has
changed, as always experimentation goes a long ways. Egg flies in your favorite
colors and bunny streamers.
Water flows on the Salmon
River this week has come down even more. As of now the flow is at 285 CFS, this
is the winter minimum flow. At this level, we can expect to have icing
conditions during cold spells. On cold days, in the lower river this can be a
problem all day. Best solution for dealing with the ice problem is to fish up river.
Even the coldest morning the slush ice is only a temporary in convenience. The
slush ice generally clears up by mid morning.
Productive flies; with the
low water flows and the cold winter temperatures, nymphs stone flies. Also keep
in mind that for whatever reason this winter you’re doing extremely good with
the swinging fly. We have been having a best results with Intruded style flies.
Keep these flies about two half to three and a half inches long. As always
experimentation when it comes to color patterns.
