Winter Erie PA Steelhead Fishing on the Fly!!!

[@bobmatuzak2263]

Nice! You’re a good fisherman. I enjoy watching your videos. Maybe I’ll run into up there. Thank you.

Thanks man I appreciate it!

Looked like that last steelhead was stocked. You usually can tell if their fins are clipped. Talk to pa dec and they'll let you know. Good luck.

[@troutmasteroutdoors]

Good luck!!!

My feet are getting cold just looking at that snow and ice. Ha. Question for ya: These look like rainbows. Are rainbows and steelhead the same thing but steelhead can survive brackish water? Anyway, love the content. It was worth waiting for! 🤩

[@troutmasteroutdoors]

Haha it sure was cold! True steelhead live in the ocean and run up the creeks/rivers where they were born to spawn (in the west coast), but around me there are Great Lakes steelhead which essentially the freshwater version of the west coast steelhead. Thanks for watching!!!

Can I ask if that’s upper Elk and do you fish it often?

[@troutmasteroutdoors]

I don’t want to name this spot on TH-cam but I will say that upper elk is very productive this time of year. Hope this helps!

Made my first trips this year and was looking at getting a fly setup what size reel do you use?

[@troutmasteroutdoors]

I use a 7-8 wt orvis battenkill disk drag reel paired with a 10 ft 7 wt echo ion xl. Thanks for watching!!
