    With a streamer or nymph You could fish either up or downstream, depending on circumstances. You can do some low side angle casts to the opposite and they don't have to be long.

    But, geez, you call that a "small spring creek"? I'd call it a river! Here's what I call a creek ...

    I would wade carefully into the middle of the stream at a point where the fish aren't, and then slowly work my way upstream casting 20'-35' (to avoid getting too close to spook fish I don't see) to the edges and weed beds. I don't know what flies work best on that particular stream, but based on what I know about another WNY spring creek I might start by trying a scud or a small #20 pheasant tail under a dry beetle or flying ant.

    Its funny you both say that. I met the park's resident "instructor" and he told me "tenkara" is deadly there. I know little about tenkara and i barely have time to figure out "regular"
