Orvis Buffalo's Tip of the Week
Give it another couple days here for the river to come down after the rain we got over the weekend. We will start to see some winter conditions here starting thanksgiving. The forecast they are calling for will definitely put some ice in the river. https://waterdata.usgs.gov/ny/nwis/uv?site_no=04213500

Alberto Rey5-Day Outlook as of 11/25/24
Keep an eye on the gauge for the fishing conditions.We are finally seeing good amounts of rain push here over the next few days. Should be good whenever it comes down. https://waterdata.usgs.gov/ny/nwis/uv?site_no=04213500
Techniques & Tips as of 11/25/24
Fishing indicator rigs can be the most effective rigs. Especially in the colder moments. Although fishing streamers can be very effective especially in the later part of the day.
