Open steelhead water 400 miles east or west of Erie, PA

In this time of Erie Steelhead Alley winter trib freeze-over. Are there places to fish for steelhead in streams that usually stay open in the winter?  Probably tail race waters.  I don't want to drive too far.  I can go as far as Salmon River, Pulaski, NY.  Or approxamatly  as far from  Erie going west as Pulaski is east.  Make sense?  In other words, 400 miles east or west of Erie, PA.  Places where you can maybe land 3 a day.  More would be great.  But 3 is nice.  And 1 or 2 are neccessary.  Recently retired.  Lot of fishing to catch up on Lord willing and the creeks don't rise.

    There will generally always be open water on any tributary/river that has good flow. Are there fish there, not sure. Is it fishable, not sure. Guess you gotta explore and see for yourself.

    Fishing is one jerk waiting for another on the other end.

    Reply to general post. Not to anyone specific.  I don't quite understand this posting back.
     
    Well.  I take it there is no open tailrace steelhead water.  Just watch the temps and guages and sit it out. That's what I've been told and it was true.
