Spring Creek Anglers, Cumming, Georgia - Hosted Lake Erie Steelhead Trip

2010 Steelhead Trip Details

The 2010 Steelhead trip is a great trip for anyone that would like to catch large, wild migratory fish in a natural stream environment. These fish have bulked up
on shiners for the majority of the year while out in Lake Erie.

• A Steelhead is a migratory strain of Rainbow that's naturally wild

• Mostly fresh "Chromers" just in from Lake Erie

• Big Fish… Last year's average range was 27" - 33" with large girths

• See the 2009 Trip pictures! The pictures don't lie.

• Fishing the Lake Erie tributaries from Buffalo to the NY/PA border

• Small, wadeable streams for the most part

• Often double-digit days fishing both pools and pocket water

• Typically cool Fall weather mornings

• Layering is key as sometimes it's hot and other times more brisk

• Bring a waterproof rain jacket and some fingerless gloves

• 7-weight or 8-weight rods

• Weight Forward floating lines

• Fluorocarbon tippet material with B and BB size split shot

• Egg patterns, nymphs, and small silhouette streamers

• We typically fish our brains out the entire day but go at your own pace

• Each angler can decide where they would like to fish for the day

• This is not a competition but selective bragging is allowed

• We're all just fly fishermen trying to have a good time doing what we all     enjoy doing - chasing big fish with a fly rod.

• Typical day: Leave at 7:00am after breakfast and return at 5:30 -     6:00pm

• At the end of the day, we get together for dinner, a few drinks, and     compare the day's experiences (or tell a few lies)
