Steelhead Pictures

Lake Erie Steelhead

This week proved to be a nice one to be on the water.  Low clear conditions prevailed on the Erie Tributaries.  To the patient fly angler, carefully working through the riffle, runs and pools with precision and stealth a reward in bright chrome leaping from the depths at the end of the line was the pay off.  With rain in the forecast for the rest of the weekend, some of the creeks will fish better than others.  Early next week water conditions should be prime!  Good Luck this steelhead season and I'll see you on the tribs!

Trout and Steelhead

It's that time of year when the leaves change, the water gets cooler and the rain begins to fall.  It's also the time of year when there is so much fishing it's hard to determine what to do.  I always see this as a good problem to have.

Clarion River-  The Clarion fished well over the weekend, with great water conditions and overcast skies the big browns came out to play.  With sunny and dry conditions fore casted for the rest of the week, I don't foresee the big fish playing much longer.  As the week progresses try reverting back to nymphing techniques.

Allegheny River-  The Allegheny has been hit and miss this week.  Some days the fish were cooperative and we landed may and other we worked for the high quality ones we landed.  Several trout over 20 inches were landed this week.

Steelhead-  The runs have began and fish are distributed up and down the majority of the creeks.  Some creeks have been running low and clear and others high an muddy.  The Catt. has been up with off color water conditions.  As we move into this weekend the fishing will be good.

See you on the River.
