If the first big run of the fall is better than Christmas morning;
If a hot evening out with the boys ends with a tail dance;
If you beat insomnia by counting smolt, not sheep …
Then we want to hear from you.
Tell us about your steelhead-mania and be part of an upcoming story in the Erie Times-News and on nwpaoutdoors.com.
Steelhead already are being caught in the lake’s deep waters, and it won’t be all that long before they’re staging near the Lake Erie tributaries. Get your blood up for the season by telling us what makes you or someone you know a steelhead junkie: Do you have every piece of gear known to mankind? Is your vacation based around the fall run? Is your favorite poet John Nagy? Do you swim with the fishes if it means landing your trophy?
