Niagara County’s Fishermen’s Park, located on Eighteen Mile Creek between Burt and Olcott, offers some of the best salmonid fishing in western New York. The fishing bonanza starts in the late summer when great numbers of chinook salmon begin congregating off the piers in Olcott. As soon as conditions are right in the stream, the salmon move upstream and get corralled at the base of the dam in Burt. The salmon are followed in the late fall by excellent runs of brown trout, rainbows, and steelhead. The fishing for browns peaks in the late fall, and rainbows and steelhead will be found throughout this creek from late fall through early spring
