Our destination is Northeast Ohio, otherwise known as Steelhead Alley, and the network of rivers and “spate” streams flowing into Lake Erie with expert steelhead guide, Josh McQueen, founder of Fish Ohio Outfitters.   The southern shore of Lake Erie offers some of the finest Steelhead fly fishing in the world where 30-40 fish days are an absolute possibility.  An Ohio native, Josh's lifelong connection to these waters led him from truck driving and construction to his true calling as a fishing guide. 

Today, Josh gives a master class on the fishery, Steelhead behavior, effect of water temps, stocking programs, flies and rigs that consistently produce, plus why he prefers dirty water.    Bonus: how to beat the crowds.   

Could this be the best lake run rainbow fishery in the world? You be the judge!
