Hi folks, how is the water levels in the smaller tribs Grindstone, the Sandy's, Trout Brook & Orwell Brook. My fishing partner doesn't care for the crowds & swift, slippery current on the SR. Any info is appreciated. FT

Check the USGS gauges, but the short answer is no

After the****of a WNY tributary a few years ago, I don't post anything about the smaller tribs.  Yer on yer own.

They are all very low.

Yep, those places are Shart shows to say the least. Most people fishing them are looking to rip some lips because they are easy pickings,  I will not post anything either.

Thank you pafisher. To the rest of the replies, all I asked was water flow info. Nuff said.

On Trout and Orwell Brooks this time of year what we have are poachers, many from out of state, removing the spawners using whatever method they want.  Many of us here support closure of those tribs because they have been so heavily abused and they are a big part of the natural reproduction documented for the Salmon River system.  If your friend needs smaller water, maybe you should head west to the Erie tribs in PA, those guys will be happy to point out all the good stretches and tell you exactly what the conditions are.  I'm a card carrying member of PITA when it comes to spot burning requests, Pain In The A**.
