February 2010 Fishing Report PDF Print E-mail
Written by Jack York, Email: jack@fishsteelheadalley.com   

Erie tributaries are "locked up" because of the frigid temperatures.  You should monitor air temperatures and stream flows to check for changing conditions.  Available open water will increase as the temperature rises above freezing.  You can do so by clicking on the stream gauge at this link:  Stream Gauges.  

Please click the video link to watch Fish Commission personnel nettiing breeder steelhead at Trout Run.  I also added several photos to the slide show located down the page. 

If you want a video look of Elk Creek, Walnut Creek and Trout Run taken Febraury 1st. Hit this link.   

Not all is lost if you are truly in need of a "steelhead fix".  For the next 10-days, ice fishing is the best way to catch steelhead.  Most of the Erie tributaries have sections with safe ice, but always check first.
