Jefferson Middle School seventh grader, Madison Arthurs, recently won Chautauqua Hospice & Pallative Care’s (CHPC) Butterfly Release Flier Contest. Madison’s artwork was chosen out of 41 submitted entries and her work will be featured on a CHPC mailer and on their website (www.chpc.care). CHPC holds a memorial event every year called, The Butterfly Release. All residents of Chautauqua County, whose loved one or friend has passed away, are invited to join CHPC at one of their Services of Remembrance. They gather to honor those who have passed with music, poetry, reflection and also, release butterflies in their memory. In honor of the Butterfly Release Program, the organization decided to reach out to all of the county middle, and high schools, as well as Fredonia and JCC, to have an area student design the artwork for the Butterfly Release mailing. Madison was the winning artist. “At first I saw this as simply an art contest, but when I learned what hospice was about, my involvement became much more significant to me because I really support what hospice does,” said Madison. “I am proud to be able to contribute to Chautauqua Hospice and Palliative Care.” CHPC also talked with all of the schools involved and will be turning the extra artwork into other merchandising items to sell at www.chpc.care. CHPC will split the profits from items sold with the school that turned in the artwork. At the end of September or beginning of October, CHPC will also host an auction and feature all of the original pieces of artwork and again split the profits from the auction with the respective schools.

Cherry Creek Water Voted Best Tasting in Chautauqua County Contributed Article Department of Health & Human Services
C
Chautauqua County Department of Health and Human Services Director E Christine Schuyler congratulates the Village of Cherry Creek for being the winner of the 24th Annual Water Tasting Contest held at Chautauqua Mall on May T 13. The Village draws its water from groundwater wells and serves just under 500 people. The City of Jamestown BPU who won the contest last year finished r second. Other participants included the City of Dunkirk, Town of Carroll (Frews-( s burg) and the Village of Mayville. F The public was invited to judge which of the five waters they liked the best by tasting each one and voting for their favorite. Ronny Raindrop, the contest’s mas- S cot, was present passing out balloons to children and mingling with the volunteer a judges, adding to the festive atmosphere. The event is cosponsored by the Chau- o tauqua County Department of Health and Human Services, the County Water a i Works Association, and the County Water Quality Task Force. t Water Resource Specialist Bill Boria said the judging was very close and it was m tough for judges to decide which water was the best because they were all very t good. d "This really supports the fact that our water operators work very hard to deliver t the highest quality water possible to their customers,” said Boria. “But water is all d too often taken for granted until it becomes polluted or is not there when we turn c w on our taps. This is especially relevant today as the Village of Brocton faces a water emergency and had to turn off water service to its customers.” T Village and town water operators and others are working together to fix a large d t water main leak and restore water service to Brocton as quickly as possible. fi Boria said, "We all have a responsibility to conserve and protect our water by being careful of what we do around our homes and businesses so we don’t waste it r t and keep it from getting polluted." t The Village of Cherry Creek will now go on to the regional competition against S other county winners from Western New York. Schuyler and all of Chautauqua C County wish Cherry Creek the best of luck as they compete for the title of Best e Tasting Water in New York State. a For more information about your drinking water, ask your water provider for its b t most recent Annual Water Quality Report, which includes information about w where your water comes, what it is tested for and the results of those tests.

Ten Lives Club Predicts Good Time at 2nd Annual Psychic Fair Contributed Article Ten Lives Club
On Saturday and Sunday, May 27 and 28, Ten Lives Club Cat Adoption Group will continue its tradition of interesting and unique fundraising events by hosting a Psychic Fair at American Legion Post 362 (1 Legion Drive, East Aurora). The fair will run on Saturday from noon to 8 p.m., and on Sunday from 1 to 6 p.m. The admission fee is a $7 donation to Ten Lives Club, either at the door or in advance at Eventbrite. com. According to Carol Ruth, self-described psychic astrologist and the organizer of Ten Lives Club’s Psychic Fair, a psychic fair is an ideal place for the inexperienced, intimidated, or even skeptical to explore the world of psychics. “One of the main reasons to have a fair was so people wouldn’t feel intimidated by going somewhere were somebody does their personal readings,” Carol Ruth says. “It gives you
a way to know a little bit more about what we do, and what our world is about.” Psychic fair attendees are under no obligation to receive a reading, and can rest assured that their admission fee is going to a good cause. In addition to psychic readings, the fair will feature vendors of New Age supplies, jewelry, and pet supplies, and will showcase several of Ten Lives Club’s adoptable cats. The curious may either purchase a psychic reading on the spot, or ponder the possibility of a one-on-one reading later. Carol Ruth explains: “Most people have literature, or a calling card. You might take some literature home—that’s why we print it. Maybe you don’t want to get a reading with everybody else seeing that you’re getting one, but you might call them personally.” Whether you’re a believer
or a skeptic, enthusiastic or apprehensive, eager to get a reading now or simply want information for later, you are invited to Ten Lives Club’s Psychic Fair. We predict you’ll have a good time. And we know for sure that your donation will make the future of Ten Lives Club’s shelter cats just a little bit brighter. About Ten Lives Club: Ten Lives Club is a nonprofit cat rescue and adoption agency whose mission statement is “To promote, further, and enhance all cat life.” Founded in 2001 by Marie Edwards, Ten Lives Club celebrated its sixteenth birthday in February 2017. Since its founding, the organization has assisted over 30,000 cats. Its primary shelter is a 3,500-square-foot facility at 3741 Lake Shore Road in Blasdell, and it operates a number of satellite sites around Erie County, including an adoption site at Walden Galleria Mall.

providers, and supports environmental, ecological, and economic interests as well as community resiliency in New York and throughout the Great Lakes region,’ says Great Lakes Observing System Executive Director Kelli Paige. Visitors to the Discover Clean and Safe Boating educational vessel in 2017 will board an 18-foot pontoon boat made especially for the program by Marathon Boat Group, Marathon, NY. The boat is equipped with an electric Torqeedo motor provided by The Sailboat Shop, Skaneateles, NY, and is transported on a trailer provided by Morgan Marine, Penn Yan, NY. New York Sea Grant partners with U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and New York State Parks Marine Services Bureau personnel to teach the best boating safety practices for motorized and non-motorized boaters, including kayakers and standup paddleboarders. A primary component of the training is a life jacket drill with the different types of approved floatation devices for use year-round and instruction on when they must be worn on NY waters. ‘The Boating Industries Association has supported the educational mission of Discover Clean and Safe Boating from the start. This 10th anniversary teaching vessel will engage the boating public on site at participating marinas in a dynamic way to increase their safety and enjoyment,’ says Boating Industries Association of Upstate New York Executive Secretary Barb Caster.
A Great Lakes Buoys for Boaters introduction is a new addition to the 10th anniversary edition of the New York Sea Grant Discover Clean and Safe Boating campaign. The award-winning educational program has engaged more than 750,000 in how to be legal, safe, and environmentally-friendly on NY waters since 2008. The Buoys for Boaters introduction to the Great Lakes Observing System buoys will provide boaters with information on how to access data on current air temperature, wind and wave speed and direction, and water temperature. A bonus for scuba divers is access to the water temperature on and below the surface. ‘The Discover Clean and Safe Boating campaign is focused on saving lives and increasing safety on the waters statewide. Highlighting resources such as Buoys for Boaters enhances the boating experience on New York state’s tremendous waters that are a critical economic engine for our coastal communities,’ says New York Sea Grant Coastal Recreation and Tourism Specialist Dave White, the New York State 2015 Boating Educator of the Year. ‘It is great to see New York Sea Grant amplify the value of the Great Lakes Observing System to increase boater safety.

Build with Nature is the focus of the second in the series of three Nature Play Days on Saturday morning, May 27. Children ages three to eight and their favorite adults can drop in anytime from 9 a.m. to noon at Audubon’s natural play area. While children explore unstructured outdoor play in a safe environment, adults learn how to continue the nature play experience at home with information and a nature building kit. Extra materials such as sand table, log pieces, and rope will be placed in the play area around the topic of building with nature. Handouts and a take home item will be available to inspire ideas to extend the play at home. A naturalist will be available for questions and

HUNDREDS SUPPORT ROTARY CLUB OF WESTFIELD-MAYVILLE’S BBQ & AUCTION FUNDRAISER, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 Polio is a disease that kills and cripples, primarily children. It was scourge in our country until the Salk vaccine became available in 1955, followed by the Sabin oral vaccine in 1963. Since 1979 there has not been one case of polio in the US. In the world, however, as late as in 1988 polio was paralyzing 350,000 people per year. Through massive vaccination campaigns, there has been a 99% decrease in new cases of polio. In 2015, the latest year for which data is available, there were 74 polio cases worldwide. Approximately 20 million volunteers have vaccinated almost 3 billion children in the past 20 years. It is estimated that 5 million children have been spared from polio because of this global vaccination campaign. When there are no more unvaccinated people, the virus will die out. Currently polio is still endemic in the three countries of Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan. Why should those in the USA care, if there are no active cases of polio in our nation? Rotarians

believe in the humanitarian goal of protecting children in all countries from polio. An associated benefit is that children throughout the world, including the USA, will be protected by lessening the chance of polio being transmitted by an unsuspecting infected traveler. At the Westfield-Mayville Rotary Club’s BBQ & Auction on May 13, there was an informational display about this club’s PolioPlus Challenge and Rotary International’s polio immunization efforts. Those in attendance were invited to peruse the exhibit, take
related literature, and also offer any financial contributions to the cause. During the evening, $267 was collected in PolioPlus donations. The Rotary Club of Westfield-Mayville gratefully recognizes all of the area businesses and institutions who generously donated items and gift certificates, and FairPoint Communications for being a major event sponsor. In addition, this Rotary Club extends its gratitude to all those who gave their support by attending the event and by kindly offering personal donations.

How to Navigate Hard Drive Recovery Contributed Article NewsUSA
It's alarming every time your computer glitches in the middle of working on a crucial project -- alarm that rapidly turns to agitation and panic when you can no longer access important files on the hard drive. Whether the files are business-related or a personal cache of photos, music and blog posts, most everyone has felt the pain -- losing drafts for proposals, contracts, grants or financial data, the list is literally endless. So, where do you turn to recover your hard work -- and possibly save your job? "It's frustrating and disappointing because a lot of areas of the computing industry are really well developed," explains Nick Johnson, executive of HardDriveRecovery.com -- a Los Angeles-based business looking to fill gaps in the world of data recovery. "You'd think that with such a crucial part of the computing system being corruptible, they would develop an adequate service to resolve it when it comes up." A crashed hard drive is worse than the spiderweb cracks across the face of a busted iPhone 5. No
matter what is stored on a device, if the majority of data is unrecoverable, a crashed hard drive unleashes a wave of panic. Depending on the damage and source of the problem, there is a variety of data recovery software. But, DIY data fixes can lead to worse problems. "You risk further corruption of the data," says Johnson. "That's probably the biggest concern out there because there's so many points of potential failure that if you don't have extensive experience, you don't know how to address it. There are a lot of instances that require a great deal of finesse, and that's where having an expert is a real benefit." The risks of an inexperienced or anonymous technician recovering private files can be huge. What if the drive is wiped
clean entirely? Can you trust them with your data? Will they overcharge you? In many cases, Johnson says these are valid concerns. "One of biggest problems we found is the price schemes," he says. "Because it's unknown what the actual price will be. Oftentimes, companies will give an estimate that's hundreds, sometimes thousands, of dollars less than the actual bill they give you when the work is complete. That's why it's important to find a reputable company to do your hard drive recovery." According to Johnson, the best way to prepare yourself is by equipping computers with up-todate antiviral software. But regardless of the hardware or brand, there's always potential for failure.

Online Retailer Celebrates 50 Amazing Teachers Contributed Article NewsUSA
Education is a cornerstone of our culture and society. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, there are more than four million teachers in the United States. Every day, they go above and beyond to shape children's minds through their passion for lifelong learning. The average teacher spends $500 investing in his or her classroom, with one in ten having spent $1,000 or more. Some teachers work in economically challenged districts where purchasing gym equipment, art supplies or even groceries with their own money helps engage a child, or their family, in education. For the projected 60 million children who attend preschool through grade 12, the lengths to which educators go to invest outside of their curriculum and official hours is staggering. Companies have earnestly started recognizing the work of educators everywhere, and online retailer zulily has taken National Teacher Appreciation Week a step further. zulily is launching a series of curated collections inspired by six teachers, selected through its Thank a Teacher Contest. The contest invited individuals from

Teachers from across the country were nominated from preschool through grade 12, with schools including public, private, Head Start, Montessori, court school system and homeschool represented. "We wanted to bring visibility to everything that teachers do and spotlight a few stories that are emblematic of all teachers," zulily's CEO, Darrell Cavens, says. "Great educators have encouraged and impacted everyone in meaningful ways, big and small, which is why we wanted to share a heartfelt thank you, from all of us here at zulily."

for new mines has slowed. Buying silver is one way to cash in on these trends. A more clever approach, however, is to invest in promising silver mining companies. One of those is Viscount Mining Corp (TSXV: VML, OTCQB:VLMGF). Viscount has shrewdly searched out and acquired properties that show huge potential for silver mining, but that have not been developed. For example, Viscount CEO Jim MacKenzie found a property in Colorado named Silver Cliff that had been assessed in the 1980s as containing more than 50 million ounces of silver.
"It hadn't been developed as a mine, because the exploration company was sold and the property had reverted back to the original owners," says MacKenzie. MacKenzie sought out the owners and acquired the property. And Viscount's own test drilling now shows some of the highest concentrations of silver ore ever found in North America. The company is now looking for experienced partners to mine Silver Cliff and other properties, which would mean many years of impressive returns for Viscount's shareholders.

Cecelia Ivy Price and the Art Trail Contributed Article Cecelia Ivy Price
After a year long residency at the Forest Hill Gate House in Fredonia, artist Cecelia Ivy Price is announcing it's time to move on! Price worked on producing a new body of work based on art history research and reference photos taken while on a scholarship-funded study program in Italy. Born in Buffalo, NY, Price grew up in nearby Lockport. After studying Fine Art at Niagara County Community College, she moved to Fredonia to receive a Bachelors in Fine Arts. Through her talents, dedication, and one small loan, she managed to raise enough money to study abroad in Italy before graduating in 2015. “My studio is at the Gate House in beautiful Forest Hill Cemetery in one of the upper rooms. I have been creating work in there for a few months now. It’s great to work in a space that does not make me feel constrained,” said Price. “I love the history and nature of the area though, some days I take breaks and go for a walk through the cemetery and frequently see deer and other wildlife.” “Over the years, my work has turned into what will sell,” Price said, “but the end result isn’t as rewarding for me. If I am not continually doing what's in my soul, I feel dead.” It is clear that, for this artist, the Gate House has served its purpose. Now it is time to let go of expectations. In the meantime, The Gatehouse is a stop on the May 27th & 28th Chautauqua-Lake Erie Art Trail, and will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days to showcase the work of Price. There are 17 other stops on the trail, featuring 230 artists. Price is planning on having a “Starving Artist Sale” during the event to help with costs of moving her studio. She hopes to not only raise some money not only for the move, but also alleviate some of the extra “inventory" she has built up over the years. “I have more art that I have space for and every move akes it toll on the artwork. I would much rather see the work go to a loving home that sit around in my studio collecting dust.” With the support of several Western New York galleries, she’s likely to continue with commissioned work for patrons and art lovers in the future. “I have several other events lined up that I am very excited about,” Price explained. “Like the Parahorror Convention at the Buffalo Central Terminal in August, Reflected Memories featuring fellow Fredonia-based artists: Carolyn Grady, James East, Roslin Smith, & Lucille Bryant in November, and my solo show Echerche' at the Octagon Gallery in February of next year.” “You can feel their excitement,” she said. “It builds within me, and I’m picking up on their energy.” While being in Fredonia introduced her to a wide range of supporters, it excluded her from a larger picture. Now Price is going to recreate herself. She’s ready to try something new. Although not sure exactly where she’ll end up, she is considering continuing her education in graduate school. The Chautauqua-Lake Erie Art Trail is the signature event of the North Shore Arts Alliance for 2017. Visit http://chautauquaarttrail.com/artists/cecelia-ivy-price-artistic-chaos/more information. The Cemetery Gate House is at at 55 Lambert Street in Fredonia, NY. It is rented from the the Fredonia Preservation Society by North Shore Arts Alliance, of which Price is a former board member of.

Help Your Pet Feel at Home on Vacation Contributed Article NewsUSA
With summer quickly approaching, families are starting to plan where to head next -- and they're looking to bring along a very important guest -- the family pet. According to a recent survey from Petplan Pet Insurance, more than 78 percent of pet owners say they take their pet with them on vacation, an increase of eight percent over the previous year. If you're among the travelers adding pet-friendliness to your list of accommodation must-haves, consider staying in a vacation rental to make vacationing with your furry friend as seamless as possible. Vacation rentals offer many of the advantages of home, like fully equipped kitchens, multiple bedrooms, more space and privacy all-around. For pets used to having plenty of space, vacationing in a typical 325-square-foot hotel room might leave them feeling cramped. The average vacation rental is 1,850 square feet, giving you, your family and your pet enough space to spread out in during your stay. Vacation rentals can also help maintain some of the familiarity and routine pets crave. If your pet is used to sleeping in the living room, or their bowls are typically in the kitchen, they can still enjoy those comforts while away. Bring some of your pet's favorite toys and blankets along to help make your rental feel even more like home. In addition to more room inside, many vacation rentals offer private outdoor space. Some even have large decks and fenced-in backyards, creating ideal vacation space for travelers with pets, whether you're barbecuing outside or letting your pet get some fresh air in-between attractions. If you're worried your pet might have some trouble adjusting on vacation, a vacation rental can also give you added privacy from your neighbors. You won't have to worry about nervous barks disrupting anyone while your pet gets acquainted with their new surroundings. When you arrive, let your pet explore the rental and sniff around outdoors to help them adapt to the new space. When booking your accommodations, ask about any added services or amenities that may help your pet feel more comfortable on vacation. For example, Wyndham Vacation Rentals, the world's largest professionally managed vacation rentals company, greets furry guests in some of its properties with common pet necessities and temporary ID tags for their collars.

Golfer's
D i a ry
Swinging In The Rain By Contributing Writer Stefan Gestwicki
Last week I finally got out for the first time and to everyone’s greatsurprise, I actually played extremely well – especially considering itwas the first outing of the year. The second outing of the year? Um, I’d rather not talk about it. Oh right. I have to talk about it. Drat. Nick and I were going to go on Monday, but decided that Tuesday’sweather report looked significantly more conducive to having anenjoyable round of golf. Tuesday morning, however, was rainy, windyand cold. The thing about this Golfer’s Diary is that it forces me togolf even when the weather is like that. Oddly, we weren’t alone on the course. Hillview Golf Course in Fredonia had a handful of twosomes braving the weather that morning. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t crowded at all, but it made me smile toknow that more people love golf enough to go in the rain. While I was happy to be outside, golfing and hanging out with mycousin, the scores left something to be desired. Hillview had several mowers out on Tuesday morning, but there werestill areas that they couldn’t mow thanks to the weeks of rain we had. That made for some very good shots that got stuck in abnormally thick grass. To be clear, those areas are certainly cleared out by the time you’re reading this. So if you’re thinking about heading out to Hillview, you can do so with no reservations. In fact, I’ve probably gone again (post-deadline) myself. So the grass was wet and thick in spots, but I had a good day off the tee. In a way, it was a bad day to be good off the tee. You’ve all been there I’m sure. You smash a drive and expect to be a good ways down the fairway. You start heading up towards where you think the ball is and have to slam on the brakes. Wait! That can’t be my ball, right? No, it is. I just didn’t get any roll whatsoever. No that’s a frustrating experience. We all want to be rewarded when we hit a good shot. Nick and I both struggled for most of the round, but No. 5 was something of a highlight for us. I commented that we weren’t playing well but a pair of 3’s on the scorecard would look awfully good. And you know what? That’s exactly what we did. It was great. Two nearly identical, beautiful tee shots that found the center of the green. Two putts that were just a hair off. And two tap-in pars. That’s the way to do it. Unfortunately we both flubbed our way to 8’s on the next hole, but I’ll try to keep it positive. My shot of the day came on the green, but it wasn’t even a made putt. I got myself into a horrible situation on No. 7. The pin was all the way in the back and I landed my chip way up front. Yet my ball tracked the 35 feet just perfectly and lipped out. Gosh it would have felt great to drop that one. During that round (because of the wet grass), I realized that I’m in desperate need of some new golf shoes. The spikes on mine are worn down to nothingness. Does anyone have any recommendations? I know Footjoy golf shoes are supposed to be great, but I’m also on a budget. Please let me know if you have a favorite. Another side note: The annual Putts For Mutts Golf Tournament is still looking for golfers, sponsors and donations. The tournament is one of the two major yearly fundraisers for the Northern Chautauqua Canine Rescue. I can personally say that the people who run this animal rescue are fantastic human beings. Please consider supporting them while having a great time and perhaps winning some amazing prizes. The tournament will be at Pinehurst Golf Club on Saturday, June 3. More information can be found at www.caninerescue.org. As always, golf is great. Go get some. Stefan Gestwicki can be contacted at stefan.gestwicki@gmail.com.

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline Contributed Article NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation
Launching at Buffalo Boat Harbor remains limited to the launch near the restaurant, at least through this weekend. Expect backups at launch. Tentative opening of new launch ramps on Monday, May 15th. All other Lake Erie launch sites are open. The smallmouth bass bite is heating up. Anglers saw good action at Myers Reef at mid-week on swimbaits up to 1 ounce. Other traditionally good spots include Seneca Shoal, Evans Bar and Van Buren Reef. Many smaller reefs, rock piles and humps will hold bass as well. Target bass around rocky structure in 10-35 feet of water. Tube jigs, jigs with twister tails, deep diving stickbaits, live minnows and crayfish are good bass baits. For more information see the Smallmouth Bass Fishing on Lake Erie page. Walleye season has been off to a slow start with turbid nearshore waters. Look for the bite to improve with clearing waters. The nearshore shoals/shallows are typically productive during early season at night. Shorehaven Reef, Bournes Beach, Green Hills, Van Buren Bay, Evans Bar, off Hamburg and near the mouth of Smokes Creek are good spots to try. Yellow perch fishing has also been slow this week with murky water and choppy conditions. Previously, catches were best in 40-55 feet of water between Cattaraugus Creek and Sturgeon Point. Many successful Lake Erie perch anglers employ a fluorocarbon rig with emerald shiners (See description below and diagram to the right). Double Fluorocarbon Perch Rig: Tie a 6 foot section of 6 pound test fluorocarbon leader onto main line using a surgeon's knot. Slide a #6 Aberdeen hook up leader to 3 feet from end, and tie a double overhand knot, leaving a 1.5 inch loop with hook attached. Slide a second hook onto line to 12-15 inches below first hook and secure similarly. Attach a 1 or 2 ounce sinker a foot below the bottom hook. Fishing activity in Buffalo Harbor has mostly been around the outer
breakwall gaps for smallmouth bass. However, an ongoing DEC survey has shown good numbers of large bass and pike in other locations. Plenty of smallmouth bass, largemouth bass and some northern pike were observed along the outside of the inner breakwall. Lots of smallmouth bass were seen along the inside of the outer breakwall as well. Lake Erie Tributaries All of the Lake Erie tributaries have dropped back to fishable levels. Smallmouth bass are now the main draw. Wooly buggers and minnow imitations are good bets for fly anglers, and spinning anglers generally do well with stickbaits, minnows and jigs with grubs fished under a float. The lower section of Cattaraugus Creek is a top spot for channel catfish. Nightcrawlers, chicken livers, raw shrimp or cut bait fished on the bottom works well, especially at night. Upper Niagara River Upper river waters have cleared and water temperatures are now just over the 50 degree mark. Look for an improved bass and panfish bite along river shorelines. Harbor, bay and slack areas are also a good bet for a mix of bass, sunfish and perch. Bass fishing is by catch and release only, artificial lures only in the Niagara River north of the Peace Bridge, until regular season opens on third Saturday of June. Chautauqua Lake When weather has permitted, anglers have seen a decent walleye bite in shallow areas at night. Boaters can troll along weedlines with stickbaits and worm harnesses, or drift and work jigs with nightcrawlers or leeches. Shore anglers can connect by casting stickbaits, especially in areas near stream inlets. See the Fishing for Walleye page for more information. Yellow perch continue to bite well off Mayville, Dewittville and near the bridge. Bluegill and bullhead are readily available along the shoreline. Inland Trout Streams Some of the larger and longer inland trout streams remain a little high, but are certainly fishable. Many smaller creeks are in great shape. Depending on the stream, look for hatches
of hendricksons, blue-winged olives, caddisflies or March browns. Productive offerings for spinning anglers include worms, salted minnows and small inline spinners. Western New York anglers have a variety of Wild Trout Streams and Stocked Trout Streams to choose from. In addition, Public Fishing Rights Maps are available for many of the region's best trout streams. Check out the Fishing For Stream Trout page for introductory information on trout baits, lures, equipment and fishing techniques. Spring Trout Stocking All of Region 9's trout stocking waters have been stocked with at least one stocking increment. For County lists of stocked waters check the Spring Trout Stocking 2017 page. Hatchery staff are now delivering additional stocking increments for the larger or more popular waters. The following waters are scheduled an additional stocking between 5/15 and 5/19. Wyoming County: Cattaraugus Creek (Arcade), Oatka Creek (Warsaw), East
Koy Creek (Gainesville). Genesee River Angler Diary Program DEC Region 9 Fisheries Unit will be running an angler diary program for the Genesee River during 2017, and is currently looking for anglers to keep diaries. The diarist program aims to record data for trout and bass fishing trips on the Genesee River from the Pennsylvania line downstream through Letchworth State Park from March 1st through October 31st, 2017. If you fish the Genesee River (even once) and would like to contribute your observations by keeping a diary, please call DEC Fisheries at (716) 379-6372 or email fwfish9@dec. ny.gov. If you need more fishing information or would like to contribute to the fishing report, please call or e-mail Mike Todd (716-851-7010; michael.todd@ dec.ny.gov). Good Luck Fishing! The fishing hotline can also be heard at (716) 679-ERIE or (716) 855-FISH.
