Orvis Buffalo's Tip of the Week
Keep an eye on water temps. If they are below 68 give it a go, we are seeing some good temps and there should be some jacks coming in. Temps are going to start heading back up to the 80 mark so watch the water temps please! https://waterdata.usgs.gov/ny/nwis/uv?site_no=04213500

Techniques & Tips as of 9/28/23
- Streamer fishing with leech or baitfish patterns are the best way of targeting fish. Although using indicator rigs with a bigger stonefly and an egg fly will also produce some fish!
