figured that in a forum of thousands that there has to be a handful of guys who have experience fishing this 'supposed' hotbed in western new york. i put the 'supposed' in quotes because i just got back from a 2-day mini-trip and had an incredibly difficult time having any success. now im not a world class angler by any stretch but i certainly have a pretty good grasp on all the basic techniques with naturals/artificials. i cant remember the last time ive struggled so much to catch a damn fish. it was unreal. this is supposed to be a phenomenal place to land trophy walleye and muskie. unfortunately, the only enjoyment from the trip came while waterfront dining at some of the nice restaurants in bemus point. the fishing was a total disappointment. just wondering if anyone has any stories or tips about fishing at chautauqua. gracias fellas.
