November Steelhead
Its finally November, what some declare as the peak month for Lake Erie Steelhead. October wasn't all that bad, if November is better everyone look out!
This past week most of the Erie tributaries dropped to low clear conditions, offering some excellent dead drifted, skated and skittering techniques for dry fly action. The Catt is finally getting to nice levels for wade fishing. Numbers of fish through the system are hit and miss. If you get to the right spot at the right time you can lay into some excellent action. The Catt will be fishable until the next heavy rains, which aren't in the forecast until Thursday of this upcoming week. Now is the time to get out and fish this great tributary.
The trout fishing on the Clarion river remains excellent this fall. The flows will continue to drop as this week continues making conditions tough. The Allegheny remains high and difficult to fish.
See you on the Catt this week. Time to break out the two handed and swing some flies.

Varying Conditions
This week has been a bag of varying conditions throughout the Erie tributary system. With spotty lake effect showers, inland storms and cold fronts from every angle each creek experienced different flows and clarity from another. As steelhead anglers we've learned that no matter what it is like out there, some creeks fish very well in not so great conditions and others phenomenal.
The steelheading has been great this year and there is nothing but many more months of exciting fishing to come. I look forward to seeing you on the tributaries.

It's ON!
This weeks report is "ITS ON"! The steelhead are in and in great numbers this year. All of the creeks have excellent fishing on them and it's time to go. The trout fishing remains great and will continue through winter. I'm already thinking of the excellent spring run off streamer season for trophy wild browns and the great spring dry fly action. Until then the steelhead will have to keep the rod bent and the line ripping. See you on the water!!!
