Fishing them the same way you would a nymph. Bouncing bottom. I have also heard that alot of tiny creeks hold big fish down that way. Let us know how you do. |

Re: Lake Erie Steelheading: Tips And Tricks
by MikePat on Friday, February 09 @ 12:23:13 PST | Hey I live in erie pa, and fish there a couple days every week. I basically only high stick nymphy but i use nymphs and egg patterns. I mostly use a two fly rig also. either 2 eggs, 2 nymphs or a combo. Joey got that right....like 4-5 ft wide creeks with 10-12 lb steelhead. its wild! and they are incredible hard to catch in small water like that. alot of guy around here use 5 and 6 wt rods and they work great! they magnify the fight because the fish dont have a couple football feilds to run around in. let me know if there's anything specific you want to know and i'll try and help you out.

Re: Lake Erie Steelheading: Tips And Tricks
by tricomike on Saturday, February 10 @ 22:02:46 PST | | i fish erie tribs often afew really good flies to have are 1.sucker spawn eggs[not glo bugs] 2. soft hackles[ pink white orange with grizzly hackle 12"s 14"s] 3. crystal buggers in higher water.also try tying soft hackle pheasant tales they are my "go to fly". As far as the water try to walk away from the main pools to find fish. Try the small pockets that are cut into the shale when the water is green. there are some really nice small creeks that can be full of fish one day and empty the next move around until you find em! Will be up in march maybe see you there. Good luck |
