Despite most people complaining about the steelhead run this year out of the Great Lakes, I had multiple wonderful trips out to the Eastern OH and PA tribs. I’ll admit the fish may have been lacking in numbers but if you’re willing to put in the work fish can always be found. couple skunks in the late winter but the push after the big rain this year made up for it, had a couple double digit days and would usually always come home with at least 1 or 2 in the net. Sad to see them leaving but looking forward to spring trout season and Bass this summer. PB this year was a nice 28” mutt that came a couple miles from the lake sitting under a log (pic 5). Had most of my luck this year on spawn bags in the early spring and white jigs during the drop back. Still some fish in the river – my seasons done but you can still get out there and find some! The suckers have taken over the bigger tribs but in those stacks of 100 suckers you can usually find 2 or 3 steelhead willing to eat. Good luck and i’ll see yall in the fall.
