Steelhead
I would like to give steelhead fishing a try. I know spoons catch them, but what depth would you try? Is it even worth trying this time of year? If so what part of the lake should I try?

Re: Steelhead
I'm not much help, but if I remember correctly, a steelhead was reported this year at the Lake Erie dump, and another north of West Sister island.
For what it's worth...

Re: Steelhead
i have yet to land a steelhead on lake erie but want to also try to catch a few.I have read the steelhead threads on Ohio Game and Fish (OGF) and can tell you what i found.The best area to catch steelhead is off Avon in the deepest water near the canadian line. The best time i think is still to come.Like late july or August. They troll fast. Like 3.5mph with spoons and best color is orange. Fish the thermocline and set the drags light.I have not seen the steelhead thread started yet on OGF but watch for it over there.Some guys catch like a dozen a trip or more when the fishing gets good.

Re: Steelhead
Thanks, I will check that out. Worst that can happen is strike out, and walleye fish. Your info will get me started.

I saw a fishing 411 episode where they caught steel head over by Cleveland pulling flicker shads and maglips in like 20 fow but it was in Nov. Supposedly the best time to catch them there is from Nov thru end of Dec.
