	Where and how to fish for Great Lakes steelhead, by Rick Kustich
		Cattaraugus Creek, which flows with the style and size of a small river, is the crown jewel of Steelhead Alley.
		On the Cattaraugus, you hope for dry weather to keep the water running clear, but on the Elk and the other Pennsylvania spate streams you hope for periodic rains to freshen their base flow, energize the fish, and attract new runs from the lake.
		Elk Creek has classic steelhead pools, but some of the better fly-water is in runs and pockets created by breaks and drops in the shale floor.

	Stream Etiquette
		Cattaraugus Creek cleared up surprisingly fast after the floods last week, becoming fishable by the weekend.
		With the colder weather slowing up some of the ground water flow, I expect the Catt to be down by the weekend and fishable with improving water clarity, especially in the lower Reservation.
		The smaller creeks are running a bit high today, but should be in better shape by Friday and for the weekend.

		The Cattaraugus is a large stream, averaging over 100 feet wide and varying from slow water near Lake Erie to boulder filled rapids in the scenic Zoar Valley Area upstream of Gowanda.
		While the majority of the steelhead in the Cattaraugus Creek are the result of smolt stockings by NYS-DEC, there is significant natural reproduction that adds to the fishery.

		In addition to being a recreational destination for white water rafters and kayakers, Cattaraugus Creek is also well known for its excellent water quality and as an important spawning ground for several species of Great Lakes fish, including wild Steelhead.
		The ancient forest protects Cattaraugus Creek water quality, supports rare and endangered species, and adds to the breathtaking beauty of the canyon.
		Because Cattaraugus Creek is renowned for its excellent water quality that supports outstanding fishing opportunities, and because wetlands filter pollutants that would run into the creek, the DEC should map and protect wetlands of all sizes throughout the entire state property.

		The Cattaraugus has gained immense popularity in the past few years as a premier steelhead fishing destination on Lake Erie.
