Steelhead, teaching and photography with Colton Orbaker.
Twig N Timber combines guided fishing education and photography on Western New York’s Steelhead Alley waters. Colton Orbaker’s website identifies Chautauqua and Canadaway creeks as the main focus, with both fly and spinning gear. A teacher by profession, he emphasizes patient instruction and helping guests feel better prepared for their own fishing adventures.
Bring your questions to the creek.
Discuss a guided fishing and media outing that fits your experience. The website describes instruction, fishing photos, flies and snacks, with loaner equipment available by arrangement.
The map is an approximate service-area marker, not an office, launch or meeting point. The business presents itself as a guide media service, so confirm exactly what the outing includes, current availability, rates, licenses and meeting arrangements directly. Its suggested preparation includes weather-appropriate clothing, waders and cleats, polarized glasses and any preferred fishing gear.
