I fished for steelhead the Salmon River which runs through Pulaski, (pronouced Poo-LASS-sky as opposed to the town in VA) into Lake Ontario. I have done it in the spring which is the tail end of the steelhead season up there. We caught steelies and browns. The spring can be tough because the quality of the fishing is dependent on the water level which is highly variable depending on the snowfall in any given year. I had one great trip and one lousy trip. There are a bunch of places where you can get access to the river. NYS does a pretty good job in that regard.
It is about a 7-7.5 hour drive and accomodations fill up fast in the fall.
I have friends that have gone up for the fall season for years and talk about how crowded it can get because you have salmon and steelhead coming up.
The link below talks about the species and seasons for each. I'm not endorsing the place which has the link but they have a good description.

Hi all!--
I've been following this group for a while but this if my first time posting. I was wondering if anyone had any information on the trout and steelhead fishing in upstate New York (best time to go, places to go, flies to bring). I'm planning on taking a road trip up there this fall sometime in November (anyone is welcome to join) and just wanted to get some info from DC's largest collection of fly anglers.
On another note, I run a website that gives updates and fishing reports on Potomac River fly fishing (flytimesDC.com), check it out when you get a chance!
Thanks,
Remick
