Anybody fish out of Buffalo this week?had decent luck had trouble locating fish...front of Ford plant,any other good spots?

I haven't fished up towards the Ford Plant, and don't really plan on it anytime soon.  A good spot everyone seems to pass up is the stretch of the Cattaraugus Creek from Lake Erie up creek to Gowanda, NY.  The Cattaraugus Indian Reservation has a lot great fishing holes, but comes with a separate license you need to purchase (I believe it's $40.00 now).  Even though the NYSDEC gives free licenses to Native Americans in NY State, you are required to purchase a license to fish on there territory.  I live in Gowanda, and have been fishing the Catt Creek for the last 20 years, and recently (3-5 years) the Bass have really been coming up in huge schools.  I have been out 5 times so far this year hitting up the same hole, catching 5-7 bass and the occasional rainbow/steelhead on the 'ol mister twister per trip.

If you ever get time, you should check out the creek  ;)
