silver creek, springville

ive never taken my steelhead ventures anywhere but erie but seeing as how i live in ny i thought maybe this years id give it a try, any of you ever been to silver creek or springville fishing for steelhead?

WOW! Thank you for ANOTHER small creek spot burn. Hope you like meeting up with 2-300 other folks when you go there. Please don not spot burn, ask for pm's

Spot Burn?  Where do you see spot burn?  He did not mention any specific spots apart from the names of two towns in NY.  Folks need to chill with the label of "spot burning."  I am convinced that only about 5% actualy know what it reallly means.  If this keeps up, merely mentioning Lake Erie will be spot burning.....

Campbell,

Yes - Salmon have historically been caught off of Cons. Road between Spring. and E. Otto.  There is no secret about that.  However, some of the stretch towards the town of Springville is private property.  A buddy of mine owns some property along there.

If you go to either location, hope you do well.  I primarily stick to fishing 20-mile near North East (ooooops - sorry for the spot burn).   LMAO

More on Spot Burning,
 
Some will insist upon PM's to discuss information regarding "secret spots" with the misguided illusion that it will remain a secret and the masses will not congregate there.  I wish to say "BULLOCKS!"  Take The following quote: Two can keep a secret if one of them is dead.  Any disclosure to anyone about a spot you know automatically ruins it. Do you really think people can keep their mouths shut?  Food for thought...

Sig if there is anyone on this board that can tell someone to stop spot burning it would be Indy, he has done nothing but good for this board and you have obviously never met him in real life. Go back to the hole you crawled out of.

sig... we all just want to know who you REALLY are... stop hiding!

Sorry Jim, only one other person knows that and they know the consequences for being a blabbermouth.
 
In all seriousness, if all that matters is "who" is doing the saying, and not the content nor the truth of which they speak, my point has been made.

Gentlemen, Sig 220E is perfectly right in having his opinion. My point was to avoid spot burning, which happens when a discussion of a stream starts up. Believe it or not there are 1,000's of fishermen out there who think that fishing in NY begins with the Black River and ends with the Salmon River. And most of those 1,000's will never get out of their cars and explore any new water on their own. But since the aformentioned creek has been mentioned, I will add that you need to be careful on the lower stretches of that creek! Lots of soft sand and mud bottom that can ruin a day. Also, without naming a specific spot, there can be some very good fishing in some of the feeder streams, and it sucks in some of the others. I apologize for my preemptive attitude. I am one of the "Old Dudes" who got out and walked and walked and came up empty handed way too many times while exploring. And; I recently posted on the NY Boards asking about any "Other Creeks" in NY State because I'm too old and too busted up to walk too far and I wanted some peace. I've been to most of the big Waters but I was looking for a place like Trout Run. And ya know what I got , , , Nothing new! So either I already know everything, about every creek from Detroit to Cornwall (which ain't very likely) or some folks aren't giving out much information, which again, is their right.
And then there is the fact that some folks simply enjoy spot burning because they hope the masses will leave their waters and go there (to the spot burned place).

Did my name come up at your dinner table again?

so why dont you jump on people who ask for good spots on the bay or the entire lake. you know how many streams there are in each of those towns? i never even asked what creek or what spot. dont get your panties in a bunch. if you would realize how active the ny board is then you would realize why you got no answer. and maybe they didnt wanna say anything cause they would be called a 'spot burner.'  and guess what im still gonna go get out and walk and explore the stream reguardless of what anyone says. everyone on this board isnt old and doesnt have a spare 10 hours a day to get out and wander around, ever think of that?

+1

"...but being an **** probably isn't going to get you the info you're looking for."

Because there will be plenty of folks, eager to prove they can be an even bigger "****"

It's very, very simple.
 
The lake is PUBLIC PROPERTY.
 
The streams in that area are on PRIVATE PROPERTY.
 
That is the difference, and it's a significant one. 
 
Why do people like you have such a hard time understanding this?

ORIGINAL: spoonchucker

Yeah, and if those streams got no Steelhead runs, and he was asking ifv there were ANY other fishing opportunities in them. He'd get plenty of answers, without any concern about private property.

THAT is the difference, and there shouldn't be one.

 
Not from me. 

ORIGINAL: campbell8272

people like me? exactly what is that suppose to mean? and if every foot of land there is posted then ill say im sorry but im sure its not. and how would i know if its posted? thats why i asked the question i did. and im sure you have never ever fished a piece of stream or pond that isnt openly public right?

 
People who can't understand simple concepts.
 
Do you know the difference between "private property" and "public property"? 
 
Do you think that if a tract of land does not have "no trespassing" signs displayed, that therefore the property is "public property"?
