Spring Trout Run: Steelhead & Rainbow Action at Cattaraugus Creek

As spring takes hold, Cattaraugus Creek is showing signs of exciting multi-species action. The creek is seeing increased movement as native fish begin their spring spawn, creating a prime opportunity for anglers targeting both rainbow trout and steelhead trout. With water temperatures rising, steelhead are making their way upstream, offering excellent chances for anglers using egg patterns, nymphs, or streamers. At the same time, resident rainbow trout are actively feeding, creating a dynamic mix of species in the system. Conditions are ideal for both fly and spin fishing, with flows supporting productive drifts and solid hookups. As more fish enter the creek, expect action to improve in the coming weeks. Whether you’re targeting hard-fighting steelhead or aggressive rainbow trout, now is the time to hit the water and take advantage of this seasonal migration at Cattaraugus Creek!

Frozen Wilderness Trout Expedition - A Winter Wonderland Challenge

The pristine winter wonderland of the upper New York river valleys is truly a sight to behold. As we set out for today's full-day walk and wade adventure, the chilly air and snow-covered landscape immediately captivated my senses. The tall, icy cliffs towering over the flowing river created an almost otherworldly ambiance, while the crisp, clear skies provided the perfect backdrop for us to immerse ourselves in this frozen wilderness. With our gear secured and our guide rods at the ready, we began our trek through the rugged terrain, carefully navigating the snowy paths and rocky inclines. The sound of the rushing water and the crunch of the snow beneath our feet added to the invigorating energy that filled the air. As we reached the river's edge, the shimmering surface of the partially frozen waterway revealed its secrets, beckoning us to test our skills against the elusive trophy trout and steelhead lurking beneath the icy currents. Utilizing the light tackle techniques that have proven so effective in these waters, we methodically worked the pools and riffles, our eyes scanning the water for any sign of a strike. The anticipation was palpable as we cast our lines, each of us hoping to be the first to hook into a true river monster. And when the moment finally came, the adrenaline surged through our veins as we felt the powerful tugs on the end of our lines, the fish putting up an incredible fight against the chilly current. One by one, we managed to land some truly impressive specimens, each one a testament to the rich, fish-filled waters of this region. The sense of accomplishment was written all over our faces as we held up our catches, the snow-capped peaks and icy cliffs providing a breathtaking backdrop for our triumphant moments. The joy of these shared experiences, forged in the heart of nature's winter embrace, is what truly makes a day like this so special. As the sun began to dip below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the snowy landscape, we reluctantly made our way back to the trailhead, our souls filled with the kind of deep contentment that only comes from a day well spent in pursuit of the ultimate prize. If you're ready to challenge yourself against the elements and test your angling skills in a truly awe-inspiring setting, I would be honored to guide you on your next adventure through these magnificent river valleys. Give me a call, and let's start planning your next unforgettable fishing trip.

Cattaraugus Creek Fishing Report

Hey there, this is Captain Tyler Hageman from Around The Bend Fly Fishing, and I've got an exciting report for all the anglers out there. I recently took a trip down to Cattaraugus Creek, and I have to say, the smallmouth bass are really biting! The water conditions were just right, and we had a great day out on the water. We managed to catch quite a few smallies, with some of the larger ones tipping the scales at over 4 pounds. We were using a variety of fly patterns, but the most effective seemed to be a Clouser Minnow in a chartreuse and white color scheme. If you're looking to get in on some great smallmouth bass action, then Cattaraugus Creek is definitely the place to be right now. So come on down and join us on the water, and let's catch some fish!

We had a phenomenal day out with Tyler.  He put us on Steelhead throughout the day, providing helpful advice and instructions as needed to help us land some beautiful steelhead. Cold day on the water was made enjoyable by Tyler’s enthusiasm, expertise and sense of humor. Will definitely be booking more trips with Tyler and highly recommend

You haven’t gone steelhead fishing until you’ve gone with Ty (T Dogg to us ) . This guy has a passion for fishing unlike any I have ever seen . We swear he was a steelhead in his previous life ! My son and I have gone out with him many times and have become good friends with him . I would highly recommended him to anyone if you’re looking for a great day of fishing . He has a great personality and is a trip to spend the day with chasing chrome . Chris and Keegan Walczak

Tyler is the man! If you have the basics down and looking to up your game, he will get you there by showing you different rigs, casts, and fishing holes. I feel much more confident heading out next time.

Had a great time this morning. I did the fly fishing 101 and Tyler is a fantastic teacher. He breaks things down really well. I feel a lot more confident about getting out on the water on my own, and I’ll definitely be signing up for one of his walk and wade trips.
