Narrative:

I made a water landing at chautauqua lake. I flew from the lake directly to jhw airport, roughly 4 mi. I entered a left downwind for runway 25. I landed on runway 25. I glanced up to the flap handle to remove the flaps. The aircraft headed for the left side of the runway, toward the direction of the wind/ the aircraft was traveling too slow for rudder effectiveness. I used right brake to bring plane back toward centerline. The brakes were still wet from the water landing, and had no effect. I steered the plane onto the grass on the left side of runway to avoid a runway light. The plane got stuck in the mud. FBO gave me a light tug and I drove plane back on runway. On taxi to ramp, I had full brake effectiveness. No damage to aircraft or airport.
