As anglers have hit the Oak just recently after the last spate of water, they have hooked up on some fresh steelhead. Some legit big fish are reported, too.
Spring is inching closer, but some ice fishing holding on. Here’s a look at the New York fishing report on Feb. 27, 2025.
Some of the winter fish that have been hiding around should be reinvigorated and redistributed thanks to the rising and off-color flows here.
Western New York’s inland waters have thick ice coverings, giving good vibes for an extended ice fishing season.
This area is building up something like a 2-foot snowpack (much higher banks and drifts in spots) that will surely mean a high-water spring when it begins to melt.
North end of this fishery is proving to be effective for panfish. Try using spikes, wax worms, or cut minnows.
Snow a factor on many lakes and ponds. Here’s a look at the New York fishing and hunting report on Feb. 13, 2025.
The yellow perch bite has been very good lake-wide in 6-15 feet of water on this fishery.
If you are hardy enough, you can possibly find some open driftable water in the most upstream fast-water areas on the largest tribs like the Genny.
