I decided to pick up fly fishing late in the winter after many years of wanting to learn. Long to short, I'm absolutely hooked (pun intended) and throughout the spring and after countless hours online and a few books, I'm happy to say I've had a remarkable first year on the water, far better than i would have ever anticipated.
One of the main reasons I wanted to pick up fly fishing was for the winter steelhead season. I've got a heavier rod in the mail, and have spent countless more hours reading things online. I plan on spending many weekends around the Erie Tribs, and from what i can tell egg patterns seem to the the way to go, some people recommend wooly buggers and stonefly nymphs. Any Erie Steelhead Vets have any further recommendations or favorites? The one thing I cant seem to nail down is what size flies i should be using? Is there a range I should be picking up? 8-12? Please help!
