Yes! I am Hooked on Flyfishing! These come into the streams in Ohio on Ohio Basin Steelheaders
to spawn October thru May. Many public fishing areas are available.
These trout are also stocked by the State into many Lake Erie feeder
streams. The water is usually crystal clear and you can see almost
every fish. They are huge fighters, often jumping several times completely
out of the water. Catch and release is the norm for Fly fishing, however
the limit is 2 fish per day. My best day ever was 52 fish. This was
a fishing experience for a lifetime. Remember to look at Ohio Water
tables before you go fishing, Water levels make a huge difference.
Enjoy Every Day!
Work Hard, Play Hard!
Whatever you do, give 100%!
Sorry, more of me. Looks small next to monster

NEW OHIO STEELHEAD RECORD 6/26/2010
AVON POINT -- A state record that has stood for 14 years may soon topple. A Tallmadge fisherman has reeled in what's expected to be a record-breaking steelhead trout. While fishing the waters of Lake Erie off Avon Point, Jason Brooks caught a steelhead measuring 38 inches in length and weighing 21.3 pounds. The fish was weighed on a certified scale and checked by the Division of Wildlife. The next step to the state record is to have the catch verified by the Outdoor Writers of Ohio.
The current record holder weighed in at 20.83 pounds. The fish was caught in 1995 near the same spot off Avon Point.
