Taking a fishing trip... where should I go?
Due to some very favorable changes in my life, I'm planning on taking a fishing trip... a really GOOD fishing trip!!!
'cept I need advice. I'm willing to spend up to $4K on the trip... maybe a bit more, but not necessary up to $4K. Just giving some parameters.
My first thought is Alaska, but have to research places up there.
I prefer to fish in a river for steelhead or some trout species... maybe a mix of some different salmon.
Your thoughts are appreciated.

Hi Walt. If you like to river fish for steelhead consider "Steelhead Alley" along the south shore of Lake Erie from western Ohio up through PA and NY. This area is heavily stocked with steelhead (over 1 million each year), and makes for some excellent fishing from late September through the winter into April. The only limiting factor is ice on the rivers, but that can be checked out with a couple of phone calls. Access is not a problem and walking guide trips are arranged through local fly and tackle shops at very affordable rates. Some guides will also do float trips on the bigger rivers.
