The Town of Dayton is on the western border of the Enchanted Mountains of Cattaraugus County. The Village of South Dayton is located within the town.
Cattaraugus Creek offers over 34 miles of steelhead angling opportunities from Lake Erie to the Springville Dam. A portion of the stream and its lower tributaries are on Seneca Nation of Indian Lands, so if you plan to fish there, you will need a license for the Reservation.
In Cattaraugus County, anglers have access to lakes that provide good angling for Trout, Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass, Panfish, and some Northern Pike.

Western New York has a number of streams that offer high duality lake-run steelhead fishing from November through March.
