Living where you are situated in NY there's probably very little reason to fish the Erie Tribs IMHO. I'm in Pittsburgh, so it's a solid option for me @ only a 2 hour drive. Although I have not fished the NY Tribs, I'm familiar with the Salmon River crowds. Probably not quite that crowded in Erie, but they sure do get plenty of pressure. If I were you, I'd focus on the NY tribs, I think you have plenty of good opportunities there to be honest. Not that you wouldn't be welcome in of course
