This is a warm water fishery. Use minnows, live or salter for bait. Trout are caught before summer arrives in the headwaters using minnows, flies, and worms. Walleye are caught in the spring and fall on worms and jigs.
Canisteo River Description
The Canisteo River is a tributary of the Tioga River, approximately 55 mi (90 km) long, in western New York in the United States. It drains a dissected plateau, a portion of the northern Allegheny Plateau southwest of the Finger Lakes region, in the northwestern reach of the watershed of the Susquehanna River. It rises in the hills of northern Allegany County, approximately 15 mi (25 km) southwest of Dansville. It flows east into northern Steuben County, then generally southeast past Hornell and Canisteo. It joins the Tioga from the west in southeastern Steuben County, approximately 10 mi (15 km) north of the Pennsylvania state line and 5 mi (8 km) southwest of Corning.
