You can probably just buy the NY state license online? 

Yes you can here is the link: https://decals.licensing.east.kalkomey.com/ 

I was under the impression that NY reservation fishing licenses were for fishing waters on the reservations. The locals in Dunkirk told me I would need one if I wanted to fish Silver Creek.  

Yea the Seneca reservation license is for the NY part of the reservoir. My understanding is that pretty much the entire NY side is a Seneca reservation so that’s why you need the Seneca license rather than a NY state license.

I tried to find the Seneca reservation license online somewhere, but it doesn’t look like they are available online. You can only buy them in person (and when I bought them we had to pay cash).

I don’t know anything about silver creek specifically but I’d guess you would also need the reservation license to fish whatever water is within the boundaries of the reservation. I’d double check the regs just to be safe though.

I don't know just how far the Seneca Nations go but I've fished the arm of the creek at Olcott to the lake and had my NY license checked, no problem. But I was under the impression that most of NY along the southern edge of Lake Ontario is Seneca Nations. Got all those cool names like Tonawanda & Cheektowaga.

Do any of you see the cheaters that got busted at the Walleye tournament in Ohio yesterday? Jack Runyan and his partner got caught with 8lbs of weight in 5 fish on the final day. This guy has won $3M over his career on tour. What's wrong with people? Guess it's true, money is the root of all evil. I'd post the video but it's too explicit.

The one video is too long but the short one is worth watching while he is standing over the basket while the fish is getting gutted.

I seent it.Imagine how mad you would be if you were in that tournament.I wonder how they got caught? Either someone saw them do it, someone ratted on them, or they got stupid and put too much weight in to be believable.

This isn't the first time they did this, I guarantee that. I think his partner got DQ'd in the Fall Brawl last year

   It happens 

I used to do a tournament in the Spring at Pymie. A business sponsered it. It was all species longest fish wins. Some guys weighed ( I know) in with some huge walleye. i looked and they had bulged out eyeballs. I said those fish came from Lake Erie in some serious deep water. A cooler full of 10-12 pounders from Pymie yea OK.

  Fish have to still be alive or get a deduction in weight in tournaments. But yeah that cooler of dead fish would be a dead giveaway. Never fished one and don't plan to.   Don't know why they would bring a cooler full when longest fish is the winner though? Timmy catches 10 pounders in the spring near creek mouths and he don't even know the lake. Helped when he bought a depth finder from a pro that still had his hot spots loaded in it though
