Bordered by 50 miles of coastline along Lake Erie, Chautauqua County is home to amazing shoreline and beaches as well as four inland lakes (Chautauqua, Cassadaga, Findley, Bear) and many other ponds and streams. In Lake Erie, deep water fishing yields trophy size walleye and smallmouth bass while the lake's inlets are excellent for fly fishing in spring and fall. The inland lakes are exceptional for walleye, bass, muskellunge and pan fish. Chautauqua County has much to offer whether you are on or to the water for fishing, watersports, or relaxation.
