Even the smallest streams that have access to a steelhead run can provide excellent fishing. During the rain on this small piece of water, fish were actively moving. Look for rainfall to trigger movement into the smaller streams. If streams are rising and holding water, fish will be moving into them. The fishing is often best just after the water has begun to drop and clear.

Ask an angler to give up his or her favorite small stream steelhead hole, and you’ll often get little response. These secrets are carefully guarded since there is rarely room for multiple anglers on these small waters. However, there are lots of access points on small steelhead streams in Erie. A short list of these streams includes Turkey, Raccoon, Crooked and Cascade creeks on the west side and the “mile” creeks to the east side. Other small streams exist as well. Go online for information on Erie waters to find your own small stream nirvana. Visit the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission website at www.fishandboat. com/steelhead.htm for information on public access points, fishing locations and much more. Excellent maps are also found at www.fisherie.com. Make sure to pay attention to private property, and do not

trespass. If in doubt, ask a landowner before fishing in an area. Take the time to drive areas, and check out access points prior to getting there at 6 a.m. to fish. Scouting done on one fishing day can pay good dividends down the road.
All anglers fishing in the waters of Lake Erie, Presque Isle Bay and their tributaries, including waters that flow into those tributaries are required to possess a valid Lake Erie permit or Combination Trout/Salmon/Lake Erie permit. A permit is also required for all of those waters that flow into these main tributaries. These permits cost $9.70. For more information, see your Pennsylvania Fishing Summary.
