With multiple tributaries in Chautauqua County that feed into Lake Erie, some big, some small, one of the feistiest fish to catch is right at home here in the wintertime — the steelhead. In support of clean water and a sustainable, balanced fishery, Lake Erie’s tributary streams are cared for by the NYSDEC fish and wildlife biologists. Many of our streams here receive an annual run of migratory rainbow trout called “steelhead.” From October through April, with cooling water flowing in the streams, thousands of steelhead swim from Lake Erie up the tribs on their mission to spawn.

For every angler, the prospect of catching these beautiful and powerful steelhead is an exhilarating one. The acrobatic leaps, long drag-screaming runs, and rod-bending head shakes make the fight of an early run steelhead a truly thrilling experience. It’s no surprise that the Chautauqua County tribs and the steelhead fishery attract anglers from across the northeast USA and Canada.
