Another wonderful day on Cattaraugus Creek. The Cat has significant numbers of Steelhead throughout the creek, the upper stretches have been terrific this Spring. I concentrated on the lower sections today to get away from the crowds, surprising to have the lower section pretty much to myself. Hit the stream at the break of dawn. Early morning bite proved true today. The skies were clear today, the bright sunlight could have been the cause of the slowed down during high afternoon. Walked a couple miles of the lower Cat, picked up Steelhead in various pools. All spawned out females but they were on fire, slaming white tube flies. Bass are starting to move in. We could use some rain as the water temperatures are moving into the high 50's. Looks like we will have a couple of weeks of Steelhead fishing left.
This female was out of the water six times!!!!!!!! Yahoooooo!
Bass were tapping the white tube fly, if you gave it a couple of strips they would eagerly attack the fly.
