Lake Erie Steelhead

05-07-10- Although a few steelhead are still lingering, the season appears to be over. Yes, you may be able to get out and find a few fish...and maybe even a few fresh ones.....but that would be luck. It appears that it is now time to trade pink for hues of green and gold. Thanks to everyone who participated in steelhead season around MRO! Reports from here will be geared towards smallies.

Here is what SAO had to say yesterday:
The Small Mouth Bass are in the rivers in decent numbers! Bass from 3 to 5 pounds have been regular catches with a few bruiser 7 pounders being caught.

Best fishing is on the lower 5 miles of our tributaries such as Elk Creek, Chagrin, Vermilion, and Conneaut Creek, with fish scattered further up stream on the Grand River.

Everything from Large Sculpins, Wooly buggers, Clouser Minnows, Swimmy Jimmy's, Senyo's Ice Man Minnows and crayfish patterns are doing well. Try to imitate steelhead smolts(Rainbow) and creek chubs on Erie tribs as these colors are extremely hot!
