My First (Ever) Trip to the Lake
Last weekend, myself and a friend took a weekend road trip up to Erie to familiarize ourselves with the area and to do a little fishing. We didnt catch anything, but we DID see some steel up close and personal (one almost bumped into my foot when I first saw it), which made the weekend for us. Found a few campgrounds, restaurants, and bait shops (FishUSA, BAC, and Poor Richards), as well as figuring out how to get to some of these places.
We ran out of time before we had a chance to head over to the east side tribs, but it's definitely on the to-do list soon.
Unfortunately, after such a great weekend, I managed to lose my wallet when it fell out of my pocket or off the seat when we stopped for coffee just before returning home. I actually didn't realize it was gone until I got a call from home. Luckily for me, it had been found by two really nice guys, a father and son, who quickly mailed it back to me. Got it back yesterday, in the same condition I lost it. So a big thanks goes out to those guys! I owe them big time.
Also, I wanted to thank you guys on here who got me interested in steelheading in the first place (and my buddy, indirectly, through me talking about it). Even though we didn't catch anything, we're rarin' to go and cant wait for the colder weather and some rain!
