My advice would be to fish somewhere else. If you haven't been, there is about a mile of fishable water that is often very crowded, mostly with people lifting fish. It truly does attract some horrible people. Fortunately, you are going during the week of deer season so it may not be too bad. Bring a PFd if you want to fish the first couple hundred yards of the mile I mentioned. I haven't been up there recently, but you supposedly have to havve one.
There should be a good number of large browns, some steelhead, and some zonbie salmon. There are some places where you can swing flies, but most people will probably be using egg patterns under an indicator.
Go to oakorchardflyshop.com and check out their messageboard. You will have to register to see most of the forums but it is worth it. Lot of knowledgable folks on that board.
Honestly, if you have never been I guess it is worth going to, as there are not many places in the US where you can catch as many big browns as you can there. But really, the local guys don't really bother with the Oak.

I am going up to the fish the Oak Nov 24 and 25 (mon and tues). I have never fished in NY. Any advice from anyone whose been there?Thanks,On Thu, Nov 13, 2014 at 12:12 PM, Yambag Nelson <northstreet...@gmail.com > wrote:--The flyshop is actually nowhere near the Oak Orchard itself. It used to be about 15 years ago but moved to williamsville. I can only imagine what a circus the oak must have been a few weeks ago.The guy that runs the shop (Nick Pionessa) is a really good dude and an excellent fly tier. Definitely WNYs go to guy if you are interested in spey fishing.

Sounds like a good excuse to head back up for a weekend.I'm not a Hobart grad, but I was on the sailing team in college. We made it up to Seneca Lake a few times every year for regattas. Awesome place.
