Ellicottville Fly Fishing

First time out for me with Damon and the Cattaraugus. He knows the water and trails to get there like the back of his hand. Well experienced to get you on fish for an awesome and safe day of fishing. If I can find time off work and return to the Catt next steelhead season, I will most definitely book with Damon again! I recommend him highly without reservation.

My wife Joan and I just finished our 6th trip with Damon, this time on the Clarion River in Pa. Great time with a terrific guide ( and an even better person)..We caught lots of big fish on a beautiful fall day. He knows the water and the bugs, gives us gentle advice and makes the day a lot of fun. We will be back for more trips, on any water Damon suggests. I highly recommend him to you.

This was my first time to Elicottville and first time fly fishing. My wife bought this trip for my dad and I for Father’s Day of last year as a gift for my first Father’s Day and for my dad. It was a nice Father/Son outing. Damon is super knowledgeable yet humble and patient. He showed a willingness to bear with us and teach us some of the basics of fly fishing so that next time we can build off of a good starting foundation. We started out early at sunrise on a beautiful fall day near the PA/NY border in western NY (about 1 hour from the town) and moved around along the river throughout the day, first going a bit downstream then about two miles up. Damon checked our preferences first to see what we would be okay with doing as far as hiking. We love hiking but, of course, if you don’t like it that is okay because he showed willingness to work around our preferences. We caught some nice rainbow trout (I think) and they put up a fight. Never would have thought such a big fish was hidi...
