how many of us are regular steelTrib anglers?
I've noticed some of us that frequent here don't SteelTrib much anymore
I'm curious who here are;
regular S'headers
Defined as a minimum of 2-3 trips a month all season long
Semi-regular
Defined as a minimum of once per month
Ole Timer regular (you know who you are)
Hellooo, Dano!!!
You're still my hero, My Friend
Ole Timer Non Regular
Defined as once a regular or semi regular for at least a couple years.
and have left the steeltrib for love affairs elsewhere , but still might wet a line in Erie whenif the Spirit Leads
non regular "wish I could more" and everyone else type angler
Defined as, an angler that can only make it once or twice a year...but wish they could go more
Just curious is all who we have left here
..L.T.A.

It's a 6 hr drive for me so I only go when I can make it a 4-5 day trip,can't swing it too much these days so I'm not a regular.Also,because the "good old days" are gone I don't have the strong desire to make the trip anymore.

Back in the early to mid '90's, it was once every 2-3 weeks. When my work schedule changed in the early '00's, it became once about every six weeks. A few years later it became 1-2 times per year.
When I started to fish the One Fly, that was the only trip for the year. Since the One Fly ended, I have not been back since.

My work is seasonal. Usually mid September untill the end of mid November I'm at work. So after I get a layoff it's a 2.5 hour ride once a week untill mid feb. When I go back to work.

About once a week for me. Sometimes I miss a week, and sometimes I go twice a week. One-way average drive time is usually 40min-1hr 15min......which covers everything between Cleveland and Erie. I don't really fish the east side.....once or twice a year max. Haven't this year

Well I know im gonna get killed for saying this but, I only have a 10-15 minute drive to several tribs. Depending on weather and schedule could be 5 days a week or just 2. for 20 years its varied like that. Some years the number of guys or lack of fish in the areas I frequent discourages me and take a small break or just need to restock the cupboards.
That being said its getting to my favorite time of year. Saw 1 guy in 3 hours yesterday and this year certainly shaping up to be best i've seen in last 3. Fish are spread out nicely and much larger.
Fishing is one jerk waiting for another on the other end.

Old Grey Skull, limited trips anymore. Not a big fan of crowds and have lost a few of my Jellyholes to posters in the last couple years.

Use to go up all the time in the fall. Why drive 300 miles to fish 24-35" fish when i can drive 10 miles and fish for fish up to 45lbs and have the lake to myself..

Old timer semi regular who rarely goes at all these days.
Got sick of the crowds. I go fishing to get away from a-holes, not be surrounded by them at every bend. So I bought a river boat.

Old time steel slayer...started in 1971 with Coho Fever....had the best of the best!
Now about 3-5 trips a Fall season ....half Ohio half Pa. (NY is past history too )
Crowds, posted areas, low fish numbers, cold weather....kills the thrill !
I go to plan B now days , local water fishing. I'm lucky, to have a good backup choice !

Been fishing. Good to be back on the boards again. I see some old names still lurking. Good fishing the last two weeks but now a young doe's road rage put my ride out of commission. Amazing how much damage a little deer can do. I dunno about this 'ole timer'  stuff but I do still get out quite a bit. I try to limit it to no more than 4-5 times a week and no more of those dark to dark marathons. I've been doing this long enough that I can get on to decent fishing while still avoiding the crowds. I don't fish Erie much anymore unless conditions dictate it as my only viable option or I'm meeting up with some of the other locals for a social fish-n-chat. I've more or less morphed into a big stream kinda guy. It's true what they say, bigger water + bigger fly/bait = more bigger fish. I had one decent 30+ fish day in Erie, but the most memorable day was pulling out three heavy fish while prospecting the "big creek" in less than favorable conditions.

Used to be 1x-2x a week depending on conditions starting in 93/94 until 5 years ago. Crowds and Work (travel) stopped that. Usually just a few times thru dec and Jan..... Usually hitting the Mi streams now, but less often. Archery in other states has taken 1st chair now..

Been fishing the Erie tribs several times a week in the fall since '81. Getting old & crippled up so have cut back a bit last couple years. Still enjoy it with friends like Glen & Dano. Live 1/2-1 hr from about 8 Ny,Pa tribs. Thousands of hrs. fished & thousands of steelbows. Been a lot of fun but the experience doesn't begin to compare with the thousands of hours spent chasing Muskies at Chautauqua. Live in Bemus, 300 yds from the lake. Now a days enjoy tying steelhead flies and giving them away as much as fishing.

Ole timer non regular Haven't been to the tribs in a few years. Use to fish it regularly. Just wish I lived closer than 200 miles away.
The only thing better than 1 day of fishing is 2 days of fishing.

you sure do.
I sure do. At one time, the local steelheading thing kinda became "old hat" for me. I just keep finding different ways of catching em to keep it fresh. The funny thing is, after all theses decades of fishing for them, there's always something with the fishery that surprises me once or twice a year. This year was full of surprises.

I work in the area at least twice a month. Sometimes I got time to fish sometimes I don't. I always end up gettin enough to have some fun. And I hardly ever experience the horror stories that yinz talk abahht. Just walk and fish somewhere else.
