.Check your atlas and look way west. Eastern Lake Erie is the place to go. My friend Dave "stifftip" LaPorte just got back from there two weeks ago. He did several weeks a year on the Salmon in Pulaski for twenty years and the fshing has really gone down hill. Now he and Jerry Kissel of Sandwich go to The Chatauqua and a few others just west of Niagra each year and do quite well. Dave averaged 10 to 14 fish a day up to 16 pounds from 5 pounds, low day was seven. Lots of chromers and lots of fish that have come up river for a while. They do not stock salmon anymore in Erie but have an aggresive stocking program for Steelhead. You don't catch as many Browns either but the ones you do get are spectacular. He got one just over ten that looked like it came out of a stream in New Zealand, not short and fat but long and well proportioned. The two guys he went with were novice Steeheaders but they managed five or so a day. Dave does all his on the flyrod using yarn eggs he ties himself. Try it sometime. I am going next fall. I will get some pics from him to post. The stream beds are all shale and you don't need korkers but felt is a plus. I think Dave's total for the week was 56 Steelhead, 4 browns and a lone Coho. All sight fishing. Good luck in Pulaski but you should really investigate the Erie area.
