Walleye
While not as renowned as some other New York regions, Wellsville and the surrounding Allegany County offer some opportunities for walleye fishing. The larger reservoirs and lakes in the area, such as Rushford Lake, are your best bet. Focus your efforts during the fall months when water temperatures cool, and walleye become more active. Spring, after the ice melts, can also be productive as they move into shallower waters to spawn. A key to success in this area is to understand the structure of the lakes. Look for submerged points, drop-offs, and rocky areas. Jigs tipped with minnows or nightcrawlers are a classic and effective presentation. Trolling crankbaits along known walleye holding areas is another good tactic. Be sure to check water levels and conditions before heading out, as they can fluctuate. Although the walleye fishery may not be as prolific as in other parts of the state, patient anglers can be rewarded with quality fish.
