Is the Attica Reservoir in WNY fishable? Not sure if its posted or if theres access to the reservoir. Huge piece of water

Generally if you drive around the reservoir you will see signs everywhere which say one of 2 things.

 

1)  You can fish with a permit.

2)  No fishing allowed

 

No signs generally means you can fish it.  You should check with the DEC just to make sure though.  

 

good luck.  Reservoir fishing rocks!

Fishing the Attica Reservoir is for Attica residents only.  I lived in Attica for two years and obtained the permit each of those two years.   I don't remember if you could have a guest or not. 

 

I think I only remember catching one largemouth in those two years, but I had a couple memorable smallmouth days in a canoe.   Used to fish from shore in the fall when the water was low and the small pike would play ping pong with a spook.   lol     

 

I'd love to spend more time on it now..............

Ugh.. figures u would need a permit. Do they even check for permits??
