Status: offline 		Hey guys. Here's the situation. Was planning on maybe going up to the Cattauragus and the streams below it to the PA line for steelhead the weekend of November 22-24 and would be coming by myself. Being a college guy and carrying on the tradition of college guys with no money, I only have enough cash for the gas/food/fishing supplies while i'm there and not so much a $80 bucks a night for hotel room for just me. If my single cab Tacoma had more room, I'd just sleep in it somewhere(which the bed of the truck and my -10 degree sleeping bag isn't sounding so bad right now). Basically I just want to go up and can't get anyone to go with me so was wondering if there were any tent camping sites around or if you could just throw up a tent anywhere it wasn't posted(such as an old river/creek road somewhere). Thanks ahead of time for any info you can give me.

Try some cheaper hotels around Irvine NY. The money
spent will make the trip much more enjoyable.

I've done the truck sleep thing before and don't mind it(I gotta good sleeping bag), but it is a little cramped so I was looking for a campground or something but I've found nothing. How cheap are we talking for a hotel in Irvine? The cheapest I've found so far was like $65 after my fed.employee discount. Any mom n' pop places around there?

There are also many campgrounds along the same section. Some may offer trailers/campers for a cheap nites stay- try  Blue Water Beach Campground in Westfield 716-326-3540, Also in Wesstfield is Brookside Beach 716-326-3096, a KOA 716-326-3573, and Ryan's Campground 716-326-3550.

Status: offline 		Thanks Kas. Im thinking a campground would be the best bet since it's just me and i enjoy sleeping in a tent anyway. I'll give some of those places a try and i'm sure one will produce. Again thanks and the info is greatly appreciated.

If you get wet there may be no place to get dry quickly. Just going alone to the Catt in late Nov. is not advisable. Advertise for a buddy with a camper at least. Good Luck

Status: offline 		neaphyte, we were up in feb this past winter and saw some crazy temps and snow(lots of it). ...wow..yeah...cold stuff...but the truck thing is more of a last resort(believe me)...i do camp,in tents(or just under a tarp) in the winter and in snow sometimes. i basically live outside so i'm used to the weather/elements.  so it would probably be there but still...its looking like one of my friends wants to go really bad so i think he's gonna go and we'll go in halves on a hotel(which is awesome, cause the truck was looking a little cramped..haha)..but thanks for the advice and believe me, its all soaking in....especially about the being alone on the catt...

Camping along the Catt in Feb.. I can't imagine.  You must be 20 and full of young male hunter gatherer harmones.

Status: offline 		thanks guys. we nearly stayed in the micro tel back in the spring but they didnt have any rooms when we got there because there was some sort of get together thing going on. neaphyte, i edited the "other stream i mentioned" out of the post. sorry about that..didnt even realize it. ha...you hit the nail on the head. i actually am 20 and i do hunt/fish/garden. there is some awesome stuff out there, why not make use of it.
