All the way so put on your walkin shoes. Seriously!   Dave

If you looked at my post, it answered your question. as for specific spots I'm not sure you'd get them for many here. If I were to say they're stacked at McKean, the lunch wagon would be there makin a killing. You asked how far, I said all the way. These fish in good water move very quickly at nite. Not trying to be smart but if there's good water there's fish usually and I'm not sayin make the charge to Struechen Flats or Sterritania not just yet or Millfair on walnut. Dave

WOW...you people are really not in a good mood, are you??  lol all i wanted to know was where the fish are... i live no where near the stream...and i was just curious...but i see that you people are the ones that make fishing in erie miserable sometimes, aren't you??  did you ever take it upon yourself to just answer my question that i sooo politely asked??  wow guys...you gotta get some serious sportsmanship....

I wasn't being mean, Dove.
 
I was genuinly curious.
 
It's a 1 1/2 hour drive one way for me to Elk.
There's been many times over the years I was catching steel WAY up stream on Elk the second week of Sept.
More often than not, there were only a handful of anglers up that far and good numbers of fish.
Other times I've taken the drive up stream  and found zero fish.
 
Point is, if I had waited to hear if there were fish up that far and not looked for myself, I wouldn't of been rewarded with a bunch of fish all to myself.
(or at least very little pressure)
 
If there were zero fish, i only lost an hour or so to find out
 
 
as far as some of our friends "that make fishing in erie miserable sometimes", 
I'd suggest it's a result of frustration of the lack of effort most of the masses are willing to put into the sport.

No fish above rt. 5 on any creeks

Hey Thadd, I can appreciate your situation in that you don't feel like making the drive to fish an area where there are no steelhead. I'm sure by now after reading the reply's that most guys are a little sensitive about giving out locations of where the fish are. Elephanthead and Mr. Fisherman said it right that in reality, when there is good flow the fish can move great distances at night so it can be hard to pinpoint them. I have to drive 7 hours to get there so when I go, I always plan for at least 4 days with the first day spent just finding where the fish are. This means covering alot of water. I'm planning on going up over Thanksgiving wknd for 5 days - thinking that by then they should be pretty well spread out and hopefully they are still there. But you know what - I really won't care if they're not - it's still better than a day's work!!  Take care buddy and tight lines!!!!!

Can anyone please tell me where some easy places are to fish for someone that can not get around to well.  I'm going fishing with a friend that has never gone steelhead fishing because he can not walk that good.  I thought about off of the wall at walnut.  Please let me know if there are any other places.  Thanks.

the wall at walnut would def. be your best bet, good fishing and u just gotta bring a chair

gander mountain would probly have one, if u cant find one long enough bolt another handle to it to make it longer... just make sure you lift the net out of the water vertically, dont try it horizontally, its heavy then hell and your net might break..
