For some anglers, there is nothing finer than catching a brilliantly colored wild trout. Anglers have excellent opportunity to catch wild brown, brook and rainbow trout in western New York, especially in Cattaraugus and Wyoming Counties. Wild trout tend to be more finicky than stocked trout, and they can be a challenge to catch. Streams designated as wild trout streams are not stocked. Since these streams are supported wholly by natural reproduction, anglers are urged to practice catch and release.
