Hey everyone,
I am trying to get ready for my first time steelhead fishing!! One of my buddys and I are going to take a trip to Erie for our first chance at catching steelhead.
I guess I am just looking for some advice from the experienced steelhead fisherman out there:
Is early March a good time to head up to Erie?
What flies work best that time of year?
What is your favorite (most productive) stream to fish (Elk, Walnut, 16 mile, etc.)?
Good hotel, close to fishing/food/beer?
Fly shop to visit?
Any other advice you have?
We do not have decent steelhead rods in our arsenal so we will be picking up new rods also. I am looking at Temple Fork Professional and Orvis Clearwater II in 9'-10' for 7 weight. How do they sound? Any other suggestions in that price range?
I appreciate you input guys. Thanks a lot!!
