I came home last week to see my family and do a little steelheading and I bought my license and stamps (incl. Lake Erie) online and printed the whole shooting match in one fell swoop.
So, it can be done.
Of course, it's another question altogether as to who would want to bother with this fishery any more. Last Monday, I counted 67 cars between the parking places at Struchen's Flats, Sterrettania and I-79.
On a Monday...
That pretty much does it for me. Other than maybe during a February thaw or something, I'm done with it. With that many guys, I don't care if the fish all weigh 15 lbs. and come with a $50 bill strapped to their flanks.
That isn't fishing, IMHO...
