The Weekly Word

THANKSGIVING: NOT AN ANNUAL EVENT way as a parent, how much more does our Heavenly Father desire the same thing of us? After all, He's given more than any! He wants to be praised and glorified for all the times He's provided strength to get through the day, healed our kid's bodies, and blessed us in the midst of a storm. Heb 13:15 reads "By Him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name." Did you notice it reads "continually" offer praise? That means we should never stop thanking Him. Our daily routine should include worship to the Father because there is not one who deserves it more than He. God is looking for us to continually praise Him for all He's blessed us with and for all the ways He's been good to us and cared for us. As much as a parent enjoys the praise and thanksgiving Rev. Timothy Stahlman of their children, our heavenly Father Family Church Jamestown desires the same.

Psalm 67:5+6 reads "Let the people praise blessed us with already. thee O God; let all the people praise Many people have a laundry list of thee. Then shall the earth yield her all they'd like God to do for them, increase; and God even our own God, but they never praised Him for what shall bless us." God is so good; He He has already done.

CHAMBER CORNER, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5 ment. The business community can play an important role in this discussion. For example the business community can help craft and advocate for public policies that encourage adequate investment in early childhood development making sure all of our children are ready to start school. Nobel Prize-winning economist James Heckman, Ph.D. asks “How can we best invest in human capital development to increase workforce capabilities, raise productivity and

social cohesion and assure America’s economic competitiveness in the global economy? …The answer is to invest in comprehensive early childhood development – from birth to age five – particularly in disadvantaged children and their families… Ignoring this finding will put our country’s future in peril by producing a deficit of human capital that will take generations to correct.” A Cappella Performance in Mayville August 11 The featured performers for the August

Zucchini Brownies fused for a fluffy cake. Don't get me wrong, these are delicious. They are chocolatey and fluffy and the frosting is rich. Next time, however, I will probably cut at least 1/4 cup of flour out of the recipe, and use a bigger pan. I hope that didn't talk you out of these. They really are worth a try. So here is the original recipe, which was discovered on Pinterest. Keep in mind, that there were substitutions made from the original recipe which can alter your product from mine. I used coconut oil instead of vegetable oil or butter, whole wheat flour, and different cocoa than your typical store bought cocoa. Keep in mind, if you need zucchini or cocoa for this, our Fredonia Farmer's Market is open every Saturday. Brownies • 1/3 cup vegetable oil • 1/2 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder • 1 cup granulated sugar • 1 egg • 1 egg yolk • 1 teaspoon vanilla • 1 cup grated zucchini, excess moisture squeezed out • 1 cup all-purpose flour • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda • 1/2 teaspoon salt Frosting • 3 tablespoons butter • 1 1/2 tablespoons unsweet-

ened cocoa powder • 3 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips • 1 1/2 tablespoons milk • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla • 1 cup powdered sugar Instructions 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9x9 baking pan. 2. Using a medium saucepan over medium -low heat, combine oil, chocolate chips, and cocoa, whisking or stirring occasionally, until chips are melted and mixture is smooth. 3. Remove from heat and whisk in the sugar. Then add the eggs and vanilla, and whisk until combined. 4. Stir in the zucchini. Fold in the flour, baking soda, and salt, until batter is wellcombined, but don't over mix.

5. Spread batter into prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs. 6. While the brownies bake, melt together the butter, cocoa, chocolate chips, and milk in a small or medium saucepan over medium low heat. Remove from heat and whisk in the vanilla and powdered sugar, until combined and smooth. 7. When the brownies come out of the oven, pour the frosting on and spread it evenly over the top. 8. Cool for 5-10 minutes, then lift foil to remove brownies from pan, cut into pieces, and serve! As always, thanks for reading! Happy baking from hbk!

Area Artists Will Open Up Studios August 20-21 Contributed Article Chautauqua-Lake Erie Art Trail

Artists in Chautauqua County will open their studios to the public during the summer Chautauqua-Lake Erie Art Trail, on Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 20 and 21, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. This free event, the second of two during this eighth year of the annual event, is sponsored by the North Shore Arts Alliance. The Art Trail takes visitors along country roads and village streets to some of the most picturesque parts of the county, while enabling artists to talk about and display their work in the setting where it is created. The atmosphere in the studios is relaxed and the conversations are lively, giving visitors the chance to talk with artists about what inspires them. The Art Trail showcases the area’s talent in sculpture, photography, ceramics, painting, jewelry, custom arts and crafts furniture, fiber arts, stained glass and mixed media. Many of the participating artists are multiple award winners. A total of 16 stops are mapped out for the trail, featuring 22 artists and their work. Four artists will be showcased at the Portage Hill Gallery in Westfield, three artists at The Forest Hill Gatehouse in Fredonia, and two at the Annear Studio in Fredonia.

Businesses and individuals still have time to show their support for the arts and be recognized during the 2016-2017 season by the United Arts Appeal of Chautauqua County (UAA). The UAA concludes its 2016 Fund Drive at the end of the month. “We acknowledge our donors in printed programs, on our website, and in other ways,” said President Elizabeth Bush. “This is a wonderful opportunity for local businesses to receive a lot of positive exposure, and we’re happy to accept contributions from individuals as well.” Bush said that with tens of thousands of people enjoying programs presented by UAA member organizations over the course of a year, that’s a lot of recognition. The United Arts Appeal provides operating support for seven of the larger arts organizations in Chautauqua County: the Chautauqua Regional Youth Ballet, Community Music Project, 1891 Fredonia Opera House, Infinity Visual and Performing Arts, Jamestown Concert Association, Lucille Ball Little Theatre of Jamestown, and the Western New York Chamber Orchestra. The UAA also awards grants for arts projects to individual artists and other organizations through its Projects Pool Grants Program. Bush noted that with its wealth of arts opportunities -- concerts, plays, orchestras, dance, films, galleries, festivals, lessons, workshops, and more, “Chautauqua County has so much to offer compared to many communities our size. These strengthen our economic well-being in addition to having a positive impact on our children’s academic success.” The United Arts Appeal is supported by Chautauqua County, the Jesse Smith Darrah Fund, and the Hultquist Foundation.

The United Arts Appeal of Chautauqua County (UAA) is making its final appeal for 2016. Contributors to the UAA’s 2016 Fund Drive by the end of the August will be acknowledged throughout the 2016-2017 season for their support of the arts. The Jamestown Concert Association’s presentation of the Seraph Brass Quintet (pictured) on Friday, October 21, at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church is an example of the quality of programs offered by members of the UAA.

Major contributors to date to the UAA’s 2016 fund drive are Lyndon and Melanie Gritters and Terry and Rick Turner. Other significant contributors include M. L. Feather, John and Margie Fuchs, Mark and Donna Hampton, Hope’s Windows, Inc., KeyBank, Dr. Bruce Rockwell, and Wegmans; as well as Everyday’s True Value, Betsy and David Shepherd, William Smith and Carol Lorenc, Lissa and Sherwood VanDewark, and Weinberg Financial Group.

To receive recognition for the 2016-2017 arts season, contributions can be made by the end of the month with checks payable to the United Arts Appeal and mailed to 715 Falconer Street, Jamestown, NY 14701.

“Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.” Those were the words of Babe Ruth…or at least Babe Ruth from the 1993 classic, “The Sandlot.” There are certain athletes that are simply legends, including Ruth. They will be remembered for all time as some of the greatest ever. I’m talking about Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky, Serena Williams, Tiger Woods and Muhammad Ali. These people transcended sports and became more than just athletes. They became legends. CONTINUED ON PAGE 28

NCCYHA STEELERS, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 25 “At a young age the playing field is pretty level,” head coach Aaron Marshall noted. “After Pee Wees, the boys can start to check. The majority of girls prefer to play non-checking hockey. Don’t get me wrong, we have some girls that like that, but I would say the majority prefer the non-checking style.” The Steelers had an all-girls team that produced some outstanding players in the mid-2000s, but as the girls aged out so to the program shriveled. The league, coaches and parents understand that there needs to be a feeder program if the girls team is to thrive this time around. “It’s not just going to be the actual U12 team, but a developmental team, too,” Marshall explained. “We’ll have some girls that are older and some that are much younger that will come out and practice with us. My four-year-old is dying to come out and play. She wants to get a jersey that matches the other girls. There’s something about girls and how devoted they are to their teammates.” “We had a great thing a few years ago,” Fadale added. “Unfortunately the girls aged out and there weren’t girls to come up and fill that role. We need to nurture the program so that doesn’t happen again. How that happens is with learn-toplay hockey programs and try hockey for free days and so on. There are a number of different programs we run.” “We want these kids to fall in love with hockey,” Marshall said. “That’s the whole point of the developmental team. They’re part of the team and that helps kids develop a passion.” Marshall will serve as the team’s head coach and brings a massive amount of coaching experience to the program. He’s been coaching in the NCCYHA Steelers organization for 10 years but also has 20 years of coaching experience in soccer. He’s the father of three daugh-

ters himself, so he should be well equipped to run this team. “I’d like to think so, but this is the first time I’ll have an allgirls team,” Marshall admitted. “They require a little bit different motivation than a boys team. The way you talk to a boy is different than the way you talk to a girl.” The formation of this team is coming at the perfect time for many of the girls, who would probably start to experience something of a physical disadvantage playing against the boys all of the time. “The boys get stronger as they get to that 12 or 13 year-old range,” Maytum agreed. “A lot of them hit that growth spurt and gain that physical advantage. Though a lot of girls can skate as well if not better than the boys. The girls game is a fun one to watch.” That was a point reiterated by both Fadale and Marshall as well. “It’s a far more pure version of hockey,” Marshall said of the girls game. “The boys tend to get caught up with trying to nail each other while the girls focus on moving the puck.” “I think women’s hockey is one of the most pure forms of hockey there is,” Fadale echoed. “It’s more strategic. Don’t get me

wrong, they’re gritty and nasty, but without checking they play with extra passes and collapse on the net. They work the play and look for a weakness.” This team wasn’t just thrown together. Last year, Fredonia State and Mercyhurst were the sites for a joint program that was open to girls from the Erie and Olean areas as well as Chautauqua County. “It was formed with the idea to get girls interested in hockey,” Maytum said. “From that spawned the 13 girls that we have preregistered for the team that will play in the GLGHL.” That program also opened the doors for a relationship with the Erie Lions, who are also putting a team into the GLGHL. “It’s been a process of the coaches and the team parents communicating and helping each other to build these programs,” Maytum added. “We’ve leaned on each other to make this successful.” What remains to be seen is how successful on the ice this team can be. The general consensus is that the Chautauqua County area has some outstanding girl hockey players. “I think we’ll do pretty well,” Marshall said. “I probably envision us playing .500 hockey after watching some of the other

teams last year. My coaching philosophy in any sport with younger athletes is to develop the individuals. If at the end of the year the kid has more ability than the kid that came in, then I’ve done my job. “It’s life-lesson stuff, too,” he continued. “It might seem minor, but we encourage the kids to pack and carry their own bags, to be accountable and hopefully getting them ready for life.” While the team itself is basically set, Marshall and his staff are always looking for more girls who want to participate on the developmental team. “We’ll work with girls who have never been on skates before,” he said. “The way we envision it, we’ll have the ice separated during practice so the development team will be working on a different set of skills than the actual team.” One of the overlooked relationships that make the NCCYHA what it is that between the league and State University of New York at Fredonia, which hosts all of the teams at the Steele Hall facilities. “The NCCYHA and the college have a great relationship,” Fadale noted. “From Ginny (Horvath), the president all the way down to Megan Valentine and Don Scott, who is the rink manager. We have a great relationship there and we’re very appreciative of them.” The bottom line in all of this is that girls hockey is growing and now is the time to get involved. Hockey is not a male-only sport and it hasn’t been for a long time. “Girls play hockey and girls love hockey,” Maytum said. “My advice is get involved. Get them out there.” “We have parents say all the time that their sons play but their daughters can’t because they’re girls,” Fadale added. “No, we have lots of girls playing. Get your daughter out there. The girls fall in love with

hockey. All the kids do whether they’re boys or girls.” The schedule has not been finalized yet, but to stay up to date with the new girls team as well as all of the NCCYHA Steelers teams, visit www.nccyha.com.

Shorewood CC Wraps Up Youth Golf Program

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 2016

COMMENTARY, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 25 With the Olympics currently being held in Brazil, a thought once again popped into my head. We need to appreciate greatness when we have the chance to see it. Invariably, some of the men and women competing in this year’s Olympics will go down as a legend in their respective sport. I watched Michael Jordan play basketball. I watched Tiger Woods play golf. But I never truly appreciated what I was seeing. Now with Jordan long retired and Woods a shell of his former self, I’ll never get that honor again. Michael Phelps is the inspiration for this commentary. With the U.S.A. capturing gold in the 4x100 relay on Sunday, Phelps secured his 19th Olympic gold medal. That’s unprecedented. Phelps clinched the title of greatest Olympian of all time quite a while ago, but I fear people are taking it for granted. So while we watch the Greatest Of All Time (GOAT) as well as several younger athletes chase that mantle in their respective sports, let’s take a look back at the great Olympic athletes of all time. MICHAEL PHELPS, USA, SWIMMING — As mentioned above, Phelps now has 19 gold medals to go along with two silvers and two bronzes (again, as of Monday. It’s possible he has more by now). Yes, some of those are from relay events, but you’re only kidding yourself if you think U.S.A. wins those golds without Phelps. He smashed records and became a supremely marketable athletes. Dare I say he made swimming cool? USAIN BOLT, JAMAICA, TRACK — With Bolt, it’s not just how many events he won, but HOW he won them. Oftentimes it appeared as if Bolt wasn’t even trying and yet he blew away his competition and the previous world record. He’s won six gold medals, sweeping the 100, 200 and 4x100 in each of the previous two Olympics. He’s the greatest sprinter ever and he’s still going strong. Do yourself a favor and watch him in Rio. JESSE OWENS, USA, TRACK — Often times, a legend is born not just through their actions on the field of play, but by their cultural significance. Jackie Robinson broke baseball’s color barrier. Roberto Clemente was killed delivering supplies to disaster victims. Owens, meanwhile, won four gold medals in 1936 in front of Adolph Hitler himself. Racial turmoil was bubbling in America, but Owens captured the nation’s attention with wins in the 100, 200, long jump and 4x100. It’s one of the Olympics most iconic performances of all time. No, it’s THE most iconic performance in Olympic history. LARISA LATYNINA, SOVIET UNION, GYMNASTICS — Admittedly, I didn’t know anything about Latynina before my research began. Come to find out, her record of 14 individual medals still stands. She won the all-around gold in both 1956 and 1960 and took the silver in 1964. She won three medals all three years in the vault, floor exercise and uneven bars. When it comes to gymnastics, Latynina sets the bar

SOMETIMES YOU OWN THE HOLE, SOMETIMES THE HOLE OWNS YOU By Stefan Gestwicki Star Sports Editor

Allow me to start with this: if you’re a golfer, become a member. I can’t stress enough how amazing it is to just show up, sign your name and jump in a cart to play. I imagine the courses like to have the money upfront, too. That way they can plan ahead for course upgrades, staffing, etc. Anyway, keep your eye out for courses offering special 2017 rates. Hillview, for instance, is allowing new members to play the rest of 2016 for free with the purchase of a 2017 membership. Not too shabby. Current members can re-up at the 2016 rates, too. If you’re planning to golf a lot in the next few months, you should really look into this deal. I can’t name any other courses currently offering deals, but there are probably some in the South County as well. Keep your eye out and save some money. Golf is a mental game. There’s no way to dispute that. If your head isn’t in the right place, your game is going to suffer. If you’re thinking too much about that one tip you just saw on a YouTube video, the rest of your swing is going to go down the proverbial toilet. For me, it’s individual holes that get in my head and simply own me. Pinehurst Golf Club in Westfield has a couple of those holes for me. Nick and I met my old high school buddy Adam up there last week. It was the first time I had ever golfed with Adam and actually the first time I had seen him in a number of years. When I get to No. 3 at Pinehurst, I basically just reserve myself to a bogey at best. I’ve played the hole dozens of times over the years and only have a couple of pars. Things didn’t look good when my drive clipped the tree on the left and dropped just on the other side of the creek. Lovely. If you’re familiar with the course, you know that’s the worst place to be. There are still many trees between that spot on the green. These aren’t little 15-footers or anything either. I needed a 6-iron for the distance, but I wasn’t sure that was going to get the ball high enough. Long story short, I somehow put that shot on the green and two-putted for par. Hey, not too shabby. The other hole that completely owns me at Pinehurst is No. 8. I can’t explain this one because on paper it shouldn’t be that hard. The drive over the pond isn’t a huge deal. It’s probably only about 180 yards in the air. No problem. The fairway opens up on the other side and there’s plenty of room to “miss” and still end up okay. Well, I didn’t miss. I smashed a drive right down the middle. I thought it was near the 150 yard marker, but when we got up there, my ball was actually only about 70 yards out. A masterful wedge shot put me mere feet from the cup. I was actually going to birdie a hole that I had never even recorded par on. Nope. Missed the putt. Crud. Oh well, at least I saved par. I ended with a 42. That’s one of my better rounds ever at Pinehurst. I love the course and the owners, but it’s not a course I usually score well at for some reason (hint: It’s because of those two holes that simply own me). Conversely, there are a few holes that I go into just knowing that birdie in on the table. One of those is No. 2 at Hillview Golf Course in Fredonia. I played Hillview a couple of times over the weekend. Once was with my buddy Chris, who was my best friend 20 years ago but (as tends to happen) we drifted apart as we

grew up. It’s been awesome getting reacquainted with him. The other was with my neighbor Josh. Our wives are friends, but we had never really spent any time together. I really enjoyed our time together. Hopefully it’ll become a normal thing and I’ll have a new golfing partner. I may have given Josh a false impression of how good of a golfer I am by shooting a 41. My average is certainly closer to 45. But the previously mentioned No. 2 is a big reason why my score was so low on this particular day. The drive was good and the following hybrid shot was a blast, but it was the short game that stood out. My approach shot put me on the very front of the green, but that’s where the pin was. I still had a slightly uphill birdie putt from about 8-10 feet out, but I absolutely nailed it. I tend to get cute with my putts and leave them short, but this one I hit with confidence. That birdie gave me five birdies at Hillview this year (I have a few other course, too). That’s not a ton, admittedly, but I’m also not a great golfer, so I’m happy with it. Four of those five have come on No. 2. Isn’t that bizarre? The other actually came on the other par five, No. 6. At least two missed putts on exceptionally makeable birdies come to mind. I just missed an ace on No. 5, but missed the five-foot birdie putt. I hit the 7-iron of my life on No. 8, but missed probably a three-foot birdie putt. Those two still haunt me. Missing birdie putts is nothing new, but missing incredibly easy ones is a tough pill to swallow. That’s an interesting topic. Do you have any putts that still haunt you? I have two that WOULD have haunted me, for sure. I’ve attempted exactly one eagle putt and made it. I’ve attempted exactly one putt for 39 and made it. Thank goodness those sank. I imagine there are people out there that have lost tournaments on one lipped out putt or one that came up just short. Let me know about those heart-wrenchers. I’ll be happy to share your stories in a future edition of Golfer’s Diary. As for now, golf is great. Go get some. Get some with me if you want. I’m always open to golfing with new people. Just shoot me an email at stefang@starmg.co and we can work something out.

Gerry Rodeo Another “Very Successful” Event Contributed Article Paul Cooley

The Gerry Volunteer Fire Department closed the gates on its 72nd consecutive pro rodeo with a capacity crowd on Saturday night, leading rodeo chairman Tom Atwell to call the event “very successful”. The four days of rodeo competition saw 185 cowboys and cowgirls, including some of those in the top 25 in the World rankings, come from 31 states as far away as Texas and California to vie for prize money which this year topped the $61,000 mark. This money comes from the fire department itself, from sponsors, and from the entry fees paid by each contestant. These fees range from $90 for the bareback event to $200 for the team roping. Failure to do well in his or her event means the contestant not only loses that entry fee but spends a considerable sum to travel to the rodeo. Attendance for the four performances topped the 7,300 mark, while the number of barbeque beef dinners served was 3004. Atwell credits much of the success to the approximately 200 volunteers, many of whom took vacations to work for free at this event. The All-around Cowboy award went to Felton, Pennsylvania’s J.R.Myers. This award goes to the cowboy who wins the most money by competing in at least two events. Myers two events were the tie-down roping and the team roping. He, along with the other event winners, received a set of beautifully crafted Montana Silversmith spurs donated by the fire department. This rodeo is now the longest consecutively running rodeo east of the Mississippi. All proceeds go to benefit the Gerry Volunteer Fire Department which answers approximately 350 fire and rescue calls annually. More information about the rodeo, including stories about this year’s events and photographs, as well as the history of the rodeo. Following are the top three winners in each of the seven competitive events along with the amount each won. The bull riding saw only two successful rides on the week so those two cowboys took home all the money for that event.

Bills Rookie LB Ragland May Miss Season By John Warow AP Sports Writer

PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) -- First, Shaq Lawson. Now, Reggie Ragland. The Buffalo Bills defense lost another rookie starter after the team announced Wednesday that Ragland will have surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left knee. Ragland is expected to miss the season. Ragland was hurt during practice Friday while going after the ball carrier. He pulled up and went to the ground without being hit. The injury means Rex Ryan's new-look defense will be missing its top two draft picks to start the season. Ragland was selected in the second round out of Alabama and pegged to start at one of Buffalo's two inside linebacker spots. Then there's Lawson, Buffalo's first-round pick, who was supposed to start at outside linebacker. However, Lawson is expected to miss at least the first month of the season after having shoulder surgery in May. Lawson's backup, veteran Manny Lawson, is also hurt. He's expected to miss most of the preseason with a partially torn pectoral muscle. The Bills addressed their injury-depleted linebacker group by signing free agent veterans Brandon Spikes and David Hawthorne on Sunday.

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline

Draft Lake Erie Steelhead Management Plan Now Available for Public Review and Comment through August 18th The 10-year draft Lake Erie Steelhead Management Plan (PDF) (783 KB) is out for public review and comment through August 18th. The draft plan describes the goals, objectives and strategies that will guide DEC's actions and decisions related to management of the steelhead fishery in New York's portion of Lake Erie over the next ten years (20162026). The plan advances the primary goal of managing New York's Lake Erie steelhead as maintaining a high quality fishery that provides diverse angling experiences and broad angler satisfaction. How to submit a comment The draft management plan (PDF) (783 KB) is available on the DEC website. The comment period on the draft plan runs through August 18, 2016. Comments may be submitted: â&#x20AC;˘ in writing to NYSDEC Lake Erie Unit, 178 Point Drive North, Dunkirk, NY 14048 â&#x20AC;˘ or by e-mail to fwfishle@dec.ny.gov (type "Steelhead Plan" in the subject line). Lake Erie and Harbors Angler holding a Lake Erie walleye that was caught off Barcelona Harbor Walleye caught off Barcelona Harbor on a worm harness. The overall walleye fishing has been fair since northeast winds riled waters last weekend. However, a couple of spots have remained consistently productive. Anglers continue to report steady action west of Sturgeon Point to Evangola State Park's "white wall". Worm harnesses and stickbaits run near the bottom in 70-73 feet of water have worked well. Off Buffalo, the night bite has been far better than during the day. Action starts to pick up around 8 pm and can last through midnight. Anglers have picked up some limit walleye catches by trolling off the windmills and Hamburg Beach in 25-35 feet of water and by vertical jigging in 2025 feet of water off the Buffalo Harbor breakwalls. Straight out of Cattaraugus Creek and slightly east, anglers are catching modest numbers of walleye in around 80 feet of water on gear run within 15 feet of bottom. Anglers fishing off Barcelona have

caught fewer, but bigger walleye. Gear run 70-80 feet down in 100-120 feet of water is a good start. Lake trout are an underutilized species in Lake Erie, but can provide some serious excitement. A group fishing out of Dunkirk this week landed a huge 211/2 pound, 35 inch lake trout, that hit a worm harness near the bottom in 80 feet of water. The also picked up a nice 8 pound walleye to boot. July and August are traditionally the top months to target lake trout in Lake Erie. Head for prime depths over 90 feet deep, northwest of Dunkirk to the PA line. Downriggers with spoons run near the bottom is a productive method, although lakers may also be suspended within water column. Smallmouth bass fishing has been a little slow. Anglers are catching some bass in shallower areas around 20 feet early in the day, and work out to depths of 35-40 feet as the day progresses. Areas with rocky structure tend to be more productive. Drop-shot rigs combined with crayfish, minnows, tube jigs or other plastic baits work well for smallmouth bass. Expect to catch some sheepshead and white bass as well. For more information see the Smallmouth Bass Fishing on Lake Erie page. Attention Anglers: Rehabilitation of the Dunkirk Fishing Platform has been completed and it is now open for fishing. Upper Niagara River Boaters continue to see decent catches of smallmouth bass in the upper river. Traditionally productive areas include the head of Strawberry Island, around Motor Island and along the west side of Grand Island. When fishing the west river, be aware that the international line runs fairly close to Grand Island. Target smallmouth bass outside weedlines over rocky/gravel bottom with plastics or live crayfish and shiners. Anglers from City of Buffalo shore sites are mostly catching white bass and sheepshead. Chautauqua Lake Walleye action is picking up in the north basin.

Seasoned anglers are catching good numbers of walleye by vertical jigging in 20-30 feet of water along deep weed edges, points and steep drops. Blade baits, jigging Rapalas, Swedish Pimples and lead jig heads with a nightcrawler or leech, are good vertical jigging options. Anglers are also catching walleye in the south basin by trolling in the deeper, center section. Trollers are picking up suspended muskellunge in 20-30 feet of water. Another musky option is trolling or casting large stickbaits and bucktail spinners along weed edges. Anglers see decent catches of keeper yellow perch and sunfish around weedbeds. Small minnows are top bait for perch. Small jigs with grubs or piece of worm and fished under a float, will catch a mix of perch and sunfish. Inland Trout Fishing All of the area streams have low flows and many have warm water. Keep in mind that hooking and playing trout in warm waters can be lethal to trout. 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, fishing equipment and techniques. If you need more fishing information or would like to contribute to the fishing report, please call or email Mike Todd (716-851-7010; michael.todd@dec. ny.gov). Good Luck Fishing! The fishing hotline can also be heard at (716) 679ERIE or (716) 855-FISH.
