eastside versus westside creeks

Elk creek is my favorite.

if you steel head fish then you probably know where glinodo is anyways. and if not...then more than likey you wont find it either. im not too worried.

"im not too worried."
 
You should be, if anglers continue to abuse this piece of water (littering/parking in front of the mailboxs...ect) it could be posted.  It has been overun with people over the past two seasons.

its funny how everyone gets bent out of shape about 'their' spot. there are only a few select 'secret' spots that not too many know about...its just everyone has their favorite. just go out and fish.

 
I'm not bent...I don't even know where that spot is. I was just giving some friendly advise..

Gottcha..... just forgot to take my paranoia meds today
 

I don't even know where that spot is

And, you never will.

combat fish it is then. if im going to the nut im bringing my flame thrower and medieval mace this year

If you like to "chill out" in a spot why would you post it on the internet for a billion people to see?????

You post spots on here it will look like the stop sign hole the next time you go there..........

To answer you question, I like all the tribs

It dosent take that much to have a good spot overrun with fishermen.  I had a couple "secret spots" on upper walnut creek years ago that I fished with a couple of my highschool buddies.  for about 3 years, it was just the 4 of us for at least a 30 minute walk up or down stream...   then the next 2 years it started getting more and more crowded. and I finally quit fishing there when I got sick of always getting my line tangled with other fishermen who had no respect for others in the area.  I cought many great fish there, but eventually, it was time to move on in search of less populated areas to fish.

Everyone stay away from the east side tribs so Pete can have them all to him self.  He is the only guy who does anything to clean up tribs on the eastside in Erie.  Not trying to be a hard arse but come on Pete why complain about something you have no control over.  Erie's steelhead fishing is getting way overcrowded and it is not gonna change until they stop putting in fish.
 
I will applaude you though for cleaning up the tribs.  If everyone just took out all the trash then we wouldnt have so many postings.
 
Oh and I prefer Elk Creek the most mainly becuase that is where my camp is.  And I also like to combat fish every once in a while.  Nice to laugh all day.

I fish em at night when everyone else is at home -   i have no fear of the dark!  Lots of elbow room and perfectly legal - no need to fish in combat zone

SI

Did I say I wanted them all to myself? Skip and others can back me up.
Hell, I've gone down without a rod, and just sat on a rock, watching,
and talking to a few guys fishing. The point I was trying to make is that
maybe someone hadn't heard about this spot, and there is no reason
to advertise it, since there are so few spots to fish on it. The little
stream was ravaged by the high water in the fall of 2004, leaving very
few spots to fish. I just figure, the less advertisement, the less one day
slobs, who park on the grass, **** in front of the house, park in front
of the mailboxes, throw their beer cans in the parking area, etc.  If  I
want a spot to myself, I know where to go, and it's not this creek.
Forgive me for not wanting this spot posted. My last comment on the subject.

It does get dark well before 10 pm. 

You are so correct.  Having those bright lanterns and such could cause a bit of alarm on folks at that time of night.  But as a wco mentioned to me one night, a little discretion goes a long way.  All I take is a headlamp with me and no one really knows i am even there.  Always make sure i am out on time.
