Yeah, pretty much the same deal as the fall.
Fly selection: lots of egg flies in various colors and sizes (sucker spawn, glo-bugs, etc.). Also, have some regular nymphs with you, they are sometimes the ticket when the fish have lockjaw. 10-16 in dark colored stoneflys and 12-16 Pheasant tails should do the trick.
Set up: You can get away with a 5 wt, but a 6 or 7 wt is ideal. The longer the better, but don't go under 9 ft. Large arbor reels are a huge help on steelies, they like to run at you during the fight and being able to keep up is important. Good drag is more important too. I use a very short taper on my leaders, with a LONG (6-7 ft) tippet. I usually indicator fish at Erie, indicator of your choice is fine, but thingamabobbers are very popular.
As always, at Erie, the key to success is timing it right. Except that snowmelt and water temperature plays a larger part of this equation than in the fall.
