PS...You can fish with the chartist....Usually a good time....I have gear out the wazoo so if you spring a leak in your waders or want to try a 1/0 hand tied fly, I'll hook you up.
 

Who ever paid $1000 a day to fish salmon in Alaska got robbed bad. Unless they were with Greg Hiester and his crew from SoF. Again, besides that, a man of your means shouldn't be bothered by price anyways....jus say'IN.

Stick to 2bob, he's much more patient. I'm more likely to get a little touchy and head the wrong end of you towards the water.....

When I bought my Mad River Club hats, some of the old timers in the club (I'm a member for 20+ years now) advised me to change to something else before going into the local gin mills.  If local reading skills aren't up to snuff,  a Mad River Outfitters hat could get you involved in some spirited and energetic conversation at a place like the Altmar, and definitely stay away from Ma Barker's.  Also jus sayin'! 
 
Kind of like the Association of Environmental Conservation Officers hats you used to be able to buy once in a while.  They were great for clearing water of out of staters that had not seen them before. 

For $30, I can buy everyone seated at the bar at the Altmar Hotel a Busch light.  Bingo, I just made 20 new friends.

Busch cans are 2 bucks there... Genny lights used to be 1.50... Don't know if that's changed. If you and two Bob go over there I may be tempted to crash that party

Is NY like PA and you need to get individual stamps for a 1-day fish pass?
 
I'm going to be up Erie all next week and think I might take a drive to check out Upper NY on of those days!

You can get a 1 day, 3 day, 7 day or full year licenses for freshwater. No special stamp for Ontario tribs. When you say upper NY what are you referring to?

I like Oak Orchard from mid October on.  From below Archer's club to the dam, it's nice, but crowded.  I agree that Oak Orchard is better than most Erie streams but Elk Creek can be very nice if timed right.  I'd say OO is 10x better than Elk and SR is 10x better than OO.  And for spring steelhead, I like the Rocky in Cleveland in April.  

h3, i too am tempted to venture farther east.  next year i hang up my spurs and will be able to fish as i once did.  ny has appeal.
