New Fly Fisher: Spring Steelheading

This episode (Season Two, Episode 3) was about spring steelhead in Conneaut Creek in Conneaut, Ohio, near the Pennsylvania border.

It was stressed that there are lots of steelhead and affordable accommodations here. And that was about it. They never discussed flies nor tackle nor really much on techniques.

I did get a couple of tips:
Trout are a current-loving species and are usually facing upstream.
Remember to vary weight according to conditions

The editor of Fly Fisherman was featured.

Overall, it was a disappointing episode as there was more of a focus on travel (go here and catch big, pretty fish) than the usual education.
