Need some helpful advice Please

Hello everyone.  I have been an avid fisherman since I was a little one.  I fish tagged tourneys for trout in the spring and summer and make the 5 hour drive to Erie in the fall and winter.  I made it to NY once when I was 13.  This is when you could snag the salmon.  I now live in Lock Haven PA, where I am a nursing student and my wife works as a RHD. I want to bring her to NY for a great time this year but we have to come up over columbus day weekend.  We have a 4 day weekend because its fall break.  I already reserved a room.  Now comes the issue.  I need lots of advice because the last time I was there we were using ocean rods with 60 lb test lol.  I know I need to use like 12 lb line.  I am wondering would the same flies that I use in Erie work.  I love to use sucker spawns and minifoos.  Also I have no clue where to take her at up there.  We will be coming up I believe its OCT. 8, 9 and 10.  Well actually leaving PA around midnight on Friday to get up there in time to fish.  I was told to goto Fat Nancys to get my license and flies but not sure what to get as far as flies, and not even sure how much our license will cost.  I would appreciate any advice, I am completely new to this and want to my wife to have a great time so she will go back up again.  Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you very much

Thank you R3G3,   I did not know that they only take cash for license I appreciate the advice.  Do you know how much a non resident license is,  I figured it would be crowded, I had to get a room in watertown I believe is the name its like 28 miles away.  

Hello pafisher,
   Thank you so much for the advice.  I know I would not have problems wading I am 6'1 but she is just under 5ft, so I would worry about her trying to wade.  I will look for those flies also.  Ill have to check that watertown.  When I got on booking.com it said it was only 28 miles from pulaski.  I really appreciate the advice.  I want to make it a nice trip for her.  I have told her stories of the Big Kings I caught as a kids.  I want her to latch in to some.  She does good with the silver bullets.  Again thank you alot

That is good to here R3G3, she is excited because when I take her to Erie we do a lot of night fishing but up there I saw you can not night fish so Ill be able to take her out to do other things while we are there.  I want to make it a fun time for her so I can Keep coming up four hours is not a bad drive at all considering it takes me almost 5 to get to erie from here.

I was not referring to size as being a factor while wading,it;s the slippery rocks and the SR is loaded with slippery rocks and the water can be swift if elevated.6'2" or 5'2" does n't matter it is traction that matters...trust me!

I have another question going up Columbus day weekend is there a good chance that the salmon will be up higher in the river where it will be easier to not have to cross or do you have to cross no matter where you fish at on the river

Ok thank you very much Ill take her there I appreciate the advice

Steelies4ever,
Sent you a PM.
 

I just realized that we can not fish the LFZ.  Although we fish with flies we use spinning rods.  I have a fly rod set up but my wife has not learned to fly fish yet so I taught her how to tie sucker spawns on and drift them with a small bb weight and a float.  So I will have to find an easier place for her to fish.

Ok I will check it out here thanks for the info I really appreciate it

I like light blue and white with a little red for the sucker spawn.

Thank you fichy Clint and troutbum, and everyone who has given me great advice.  I am so thankful for real sportsman out there that are willing to give advice to someone trying something new.  I will use all of your advice.  I thank you very much.  I just want her to have a great trip.  Thank you to all the kind fisherman that gave advice.
