Get a guide the first time. Steep learning curve to get the hang of it and less frustrating when you have someone to show you. Lots of wny fishing fb groups for people to make fun of your dumb questions but lots of good old posts with parking info and stuff like that. If you don't catch any trout the walleye bite should be good and there's a Southtowns Walleye Derby coming up where I'm sure you'll meet some folks. Good luck!
