County starts assessment of damage from flooding Author: Ron Plants Updated: 7:50 PM EDT July 21, 2021
LOCKPORT, N.Y. Niagara County got slammed Tuesday night with heavy rainfall. But on Wednesday the bright sunshine dried things out considerably.
Still there were some issues in areas like the Town of Niagara where Tuscarora Road near the Cayuga Creek was closed because of spillover from the creek which is running high like all waterways with the runoff from all that rain.
We checked first in the City of Lockport where on Canal Street water was really pouring through the streets as seen on social media videos Tuesday night.

Steelhead Streams in Western New York

DEC Region 9 offers steelhead anglers an abundance of opportunities from the mighty lower Niagara River to Cattaraugus Creek, one of the premier streams in the state, to other smaller streams. These streams offer high quality lake-run steelhead fishing from November through April. The majority of the steelhead in these streams are the result of smolt stockings by DEC. There is some natural reproduction of steelhead that adds to the fishery, particularly in the Cattaraugus Creek system. Studies are ongoing to evaluate the contribution of these wild fish to the angler catch. Projects are being planned and implemented to increase the contribution of wild steelhead. For detailed information on steelhead management, migratory runs, fishing tackle and techniques see the Steelhead Fishing in Lake Erie Tributaries and Lake Ontario Tributaries pages.
