I found an opening at the bottom of a long pool, just above a set of rapids. I was just hoping to find enough space to squeeze in and cast, however as luck could have it, this was the hot spot. The angler downstream of me told me that the fish were moving into the pool in groups of threes and fours. Right in front of us, adense logjam and gravel bar made a choke point so that all the steelhead moving into the pool could have to pass in front of us. I put on an display and an egg imitation and began fishing. The angler downstream of me hooked up four times before my display dropped and shot upstream. (onthewater.com)

Early in September the salmon will begin to move in from their deep black haunts of the lake and begin to stage in the estuary of the Salmon River. Usually the salmon begin entering the river once the water has cooled to below 60 degrees fahrenheit and the flow of the river is above 385 cubic feet per second cfs . This can differ year to year as indicated by rain and weather. We have seen fish in the river as early as Labor Day Weekend. Starting in September there’s a minimum flow of 335 cfs that’s released from the dam. Despite of what the temperature is the river, the salmon will begin to enter the river by the second to 3rd week of September. (troutprostore.com)

Possibly the nicest of all New York steelhead waters, Cattaraugus Creek is the big spawning stream for the rainbows that live on the New York end of Lake Erie. After crashing over a dam in the southern Erie County village of Springville, the stream winds through 35 miles of gravel-bottomed riffles and shale ledge pools before spilling into the lake. It is perfect fly-fishing water, and long-rodders who swing Spey flies or streamers down and across the Cat may enjoy many hookups per outing. In recent years, the fall steelhead run in the creek was more remarkable than the better-recognized fishery in the Salmon River. (gameandfishmag.com)
