Steelhead Guide and Author John Nagy My passion for steelhead fly fishing over the last 15 years can be best summed up by the quote taken from Roderick Haig-Brown's 1946 classic book "A River Never Sleeps": "But the steelhead, with the brightness of the sea still on him is the livest of all the river's life. When you have made your cast for him, you are no longer a careless observer. As you mend the cast and work your fly well down to him through the cold water, your whole mind is with it, picturing its drift, guiding its swing, holding it where you know he will be. And when the shock of his take jars through to your forearms and you lift the rod to its bend, you know that in a moment the strength of his leaping body will shatter the water to brillance, however dark the day." When pursuing steelhead on the Lake Erie tributaries please respect your fellow steelhead fisherman, the rights of the private landowner and the magnificant steelhead itself. This can only result in a better overall experience for all.
