Veterans Day Lake Effect Snowstorm 30 Years Later

Remembering Ohio's greatest single storm snowfall that occurred November 9-14, 1996

Very interesting lake effect weather story.

Anyone remember that storm in November 1996? I remember fishing the days before and getting into quite a few Coho and Steelhead.
It was a storm just a little south Erie.
Travel was very tough through the week.
The rest of the season when I could get out fishing was very good. Back then the numbers of fish were high and pressure was not like it is now.

Dear CRB,

I remember fishing in State College around that time. My brother and I were visiting Flyfisher's Paradise Fly Shop when some guy rolled in with a full pick-up bed of snow. He said he had to get out of Erie, so he came to Spring Creek.

Coincidently, Spring Creek fished much better in 1996 for the same reasons! 😉

Regards,

Tim Murphy 🙂
