Seasonal Activity Chart

Brown Trout
Lancaster, NY, offers some surprisingly good brown trout fishing, particularly in the creeks and streams that feed into the larger waterways. Ellicott Creek is a popular option, known for its easily accessible sections and decent trout population. Spring and fall are prime times, as the water temperatures are ideal for trout activity. Spring sees the fish actively feeding after the winter months, while fall brings spawning runs. For a less crowded experience, explore some of the smaller tributaries; they often hold surprisingly large fish. Access to Ellicott Creek is relatively easy via several town parks and road crossings. Be mindful of water levels, as these creeks can fluctuate rapidly after heavy rain. Local tip: Try drifting nymphs or small streamers under cut banks and near submerged structure. The browns in these streams can be quite opportunistic.
