jig fishing steelhead
Any Erie steelhead fishing tips for this time of year?
Heading up this upcoming weekend to some streams in Erie, pretty much right by the lake.
I’m somewhat new at all this and I was wondering if anybody has any tips when it comes to the type of bait that could work well this time of year.
- I’m not fly fishing.
Any type/color of little jigs work? I’ve mainly used salmon eggs or wax worms the few times I’ve gone.
Small is key right now. The stream levels are really low and clear right now so downsize and downsize again if needed.. If you can use single eggs, so much the better. Single or double maggots should work with a tiny jig. Mini Foo jigs by Weldon Tackle works well. Try the motor oil color and white as well. One more thing to remember..shiny split shot spooks steelies in clear water so get some that are dull colored.
Concentrate on the deeper pools and look for fish that are rolling.
Good Luck and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone on Y/A Fishing.
