"Spring fishing" is slowly developing in Erie.  The warmer and wetter weather forecast for the next 10-days will foster a change on the tributaries. 

The keys for steelhead fishing success in March are water flow, clarity, and temperature.  Bright flies, chartreuse egg sacs, white jigs, and minnows work well.  If you begin your fishing with a slow and deep presentation and concentrate on a deep pool tailout, you will eventually find fish.   Watch the stream gauge readings and daily air temperature forecast.   The photos below show Walnut Creek, Trout Run and Elk Creek conditions on March 8, 2010.  Click photos for larger view.  The two videos are from the past weekend.
