My second Erie steelhead trip of the 2016-2017 season. Arrived at the tail end of some rain, and the water was nearly perfect with some fresh run fish around, managed to hook a bunch and land some, even though I was having issues with the drag mechanism on my fly reel. Best flies were olive and chartreuse woolly buggers, emerald shiner patterns, and a slumpbuster streamer for when the water was higher. Drifting, I did well on egg flies and wiggle stonefly patterns.
