Oh yeah, a week from saturday and I leave for my annual steelhead trip up to the erie tribs. So stoked, I can't stand it. Fly rod and noodle rod all ready, flies tied. Who would have thought that standing in the middle of a raging river with snot frozen to yer face could be so much fun. Hope y'all have a Happy Thanksgiving. I'll be thinkin of ya.

Used to do that for Smallmouths in Illinois until I moved down here. Was a lot of fun too. I also did some Steelhead fishing up around Milwaukee, Ws., but the year round fishing for the Smallies was a lot of fun. Cold but fun.

TF,

Which Erie Tribs are you going too? OH, PA or NY? I have made multiple trips up there as well. My cousin lives in the Buffalo area and I have fished the NY tribs on both Erie and Ontario. I have LOTS of great photos of big steelies, salmons and browns.

That is ALWAYS my favorite trip of the year.

Good Luck!!

Leaving at 4 AM tomorrow morning. Bad weather has forced all of the rivers out of their banks (the river I like to fish the most fishes well at between 500 and 750 cfs and is presently at approx 4600 cfs). Anticipation is still very high, will most likely fish smaller tribs till the rivers become manageable-then GAME ON. Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving will post reports and pics (have to wait till my pics come back though) when I return. Cheers
