In The Great Lakes Steelhead Chronicles, Jerry Darkes provides an overview of the developing fishery for this great fish through the eyes of local fly fishing guides and outfitters. With nearly 11,000 miles of shoreline and thousands of miles of tributary streams the Great Lakes is a freshwater angler's dream. Join Jerry and fellow anglers as they fly fish for steelhead.
I have a cottage up by Lake Erie in Conneaut and just between Route 11 and the Ohio/Pennsylvania border I can think of atleast 3 different tributaries that have steelhead! Not counting the tiny streams that run into the lake that people have seen trout hopping up.

Getting the boat ready this weekend, saving up for some waders, too. I can't wait! Caught a beautiful king salmon off the T'rivers pier last summer. This time of year, though, metal heads rule!

Hi Patagonia,
I would like to fish some of your tribs one day.
I go mostly to Erie PA but your creeks looks fine too.
I made 2 small shorts from Erie tribs recently,mid of Nov.

I'm sure there's plenty of fly-fishermen out there that have practically had their rods ripped from their hands as a steely attacks a streamer on the swing. Nothing like it! Yeah, some guys lift, but that's not my problem. I feel bad that they can't enjoy the fierce take of a hungry steely!!

Man, I just stumbled into this place and read the commentary. Lotta hate and discontent. Fishslayer could do with a beer.

I'm not here to argue with another fisherman. You like fishing, I like fishing, if we can't respect each other, lets respect the fish. Any guide teaching that technique should be ashamed.
