Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2004 Forgot the PA steelie trip in that list so ELK creek and walnut creek in PA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lance Kekel 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2004 Good point Steeldrifter. I would have never thought of counting these but since they are in the magazines these days for steelhead Alley. One of those taken for granted things since they're so close to home and in some cases urban fisheries.

Peddler 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2004 All of the known, and more than few little known Michigan rivers. Quite a few North Carolina and Tennesee rivers. The Madison. Henrys Fork Gallaton. Yellowstone. Gibbon. Slough Creek and others in Idaho and Montana. The Colorado and Blue. The Connecticut Rivers in New Hampshire. In two weeks I'm off to Georgia of the OLN Masters and if I'm lucky will fish the Catahootchie and in three weeks I'm off to Pennsylvania for a week of fishing in and around Penns Creek (c'mon Green Drakes!)
