Chautauqua Lake provides an abundance of game and fish. Muskellunge create the greatest excitement, and the muskie season, from late June to October, draws fisherman from all over the United States and Canada. The lake contains large and smallmouth bass, calico and rock bass, walleyes, and perch among other fish.

A fishing license may be purchased at Hogan's Hut on Route 394 near the entrance to Route 17/I-86 in Stow or at the town clerk's office in Mayville.
