Fly Fishing ischua Creek New York
Ischus Creek begins near the small village of Machias
New York. It flows for about twenty miles and enters Oil
Creek. The entire stream is stocked with brown trout by
the state. The section around Franklinville and upstream
from there has a some wild browns. The stream is known
as one of the top trout streams in western New York.

Fly fishing Ischua Creek is usually very productive from
a fish catching standpoint due to the large numbers of
fish stocked. There's a special regulations area that's
approximately 2.2 miles long located at Franklinville. It's
a no-kill, artificial lures and flies only area. It runs from .9
mile downstream of the Route #98 Bridge and for 1.3
miles upstream from the bridge. This is known as the
Cadiz Bridge.

Ischua Creek is easy to access for most all of its length.
The stream probably averages about twenty-five feet
wide. It flows slowly to moderately through farm land in
the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains. There's plenty
of deep pools and runs. Most of the stream has a soft,
silt bottom.

Fly fishing Ischua Creek is done mostly using streamers
and nymphs. There can be some dry fly action at times.
The stream has a large population of minnows, baitfish
and crayfish.

Except in the special regulations area, much of the
fishing is done with conventional tackle. Live bait is also
commonly used in the other areas of the stream. The
state is hopeful that the special regulations area will help
to increase the wild trout population.
