Fly Fishing Guide to Steelhead Alley by Karl Weixlmann

The 400 miles of southern Lake Erie shoreline in three states—Buffalo, New York at its eastern end; Toledo, Ohio, on its western flank; and Pennsylvania’s shoreline in the middle—is affectionately called “Steelhead Alley”. This book is the culmination of over twenty years of guiding throughout the Alley. In addition to covering steelhead in depth, it also covers opportunities for smallmouth bass, lake run brown trout, lake trout, and salmon that you can catch on a fly, along with the best tributaries and shorelines in which to find them. The author shares his tips for timing the best fishing, reading the water, the most productive local fly patterns, and how to rig and fish for success. He covers detailed access, individual tributary descriptions and reports, many of which are relatively unknown, plus a few new techniques that will help you put some more fish in the net. 206 Color Photos; 6X9 inches, 206+ pgs.
