Steelhead are active in the Grand River

Lake Metroparks provides access to some of the best fishing locations in Northeast Ohio. Conditions along Steelhead Alley are definitely improving as demonstrated by these successful catches at Hogback Ridge Park, Helen Hazen Wyman Park and Big Creek at Liberty Hollow. Reminder that Paine Creek was stocked Friday with 800 lbs of Rainbow trout.

Jeffrey L. Frischkorn takes you with him as he chronicles his outdoors adventures around Northeast Ohio and beyond. 

...Spring had come to the creek at long last, and not a moment too soon to suit most people.

But steelheaders are not most people, not in the conventional sense anyway. Some steelheaders even crave the nastiest, cold-nose-running weather imaginable. Not so much because the angling is better but rather for the reason such weather conditions help keep other, weaker, members of this tribe huddled around a fireplace.

I don’t go that far, though truth be told steelheading is the only type of fishing for which I’d give up a hunting trip...
