Erie Steelhead Trip - Jan. 2005 - Official Signup

Dear FTF Member,
Support FTF by Subscribing to Hatches Today! 2011 Issue - In Stock
Since 2003 FlyTyingForum.com has grown from a handful of people to 30,000 registered members and has become the largest fly tying community in the world. In 2007 I published the first issue of Hatches because I felt the FTF community could offer a printed magazine that far exceeds anything the fly tying world has ever seen published. To this day, Hatches is largely made up of articles submitted to me by FTF member and FTF will continue to play a large role in the future of Hatches. Hatches truly is a grassroots effort, unlike many of the other publications in circulation that have the backing of large media corporations. The future of both Hatches and FTF depends on the support of FTF members like you. For $7 a year, you not only help ensure that I have the resources needed to be able to offer you all of the features you enjoy today free of charge, you also get 96 pages of pure fly tying awesomeness that is worth the price by itself. Click Here for Subscription Info Thank You -Will

Would anybody be interested in a January Steelhead trip to the Lake Erie tribs? Trip will be dictated by weather & water conditions

January 2005
Thursday 6 or Friday 7 thru to Monday 10 or Tuesday 11

I have never fished in that neck of the woods so I would need some help from you guys with lodging locations, streams/creeks, fly/tackle shops, etc...

I figured I would get the ball rolling with this post before the holidays get fully underway.

I am defiently interested. Most years it seems that the tribs are frozen solid by then but it is worth a shot to try for a trip.

There are a ton of places to stay in the area so lodging won't be an issue.

I'm in!

That time of year we will have our pick of places.
A favorite of mine is the Thunderbird motel on Route 5.

Nothing more than trailers with a kitchen. Just a place to keep dry and warm
They have a fridge to keep beer cold too wink.gif

Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day.

Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

Where, exactly, are you guys going? I'd love to get out there, but it's a loooong drive from here.

mcfly - Where are you headed in late Nov/early Dec?

I know where they live, I know what they eat. Now it's time to fool them with thread, feathers and roadkill.

Not sure where just yet or when, I'd like to get up before Christmas time permitting. I only live just over an hour away.
