Fishing Guides Near Conneaut, Oh

The tributaries around lake Erie are home to some absolutely epic Steelhead fishing—probably the best in all 50 states! Kurt specializes in guided flyfishing trips here in Conneaut, Ohio, where you can enjoy three full days of incredible fishing along with delicious meals and comfortable lodging, all for one reasonable price! Because water conditions and especially rainfall have a huge impact on how the fish move and what tributaries will be fishing best, urt and all his guides personally fish these waters daily and stay on top of fish movements and water conditions to ensure you're fishing the best water. They also make sure to personalize each trip so that you can experience the thrill of late-fall hooksets on powerful Steelhead. To that end, Captain Kurt has access to a lot of private water sections that allow for unlimited trophy catches! These leases and properties provide you with access to totally unpressured water, which means no other fishermen and more aggressive fish! Guided steelhead trips are 1 or 2 people per guide. Kurt also specialize in hosting larger fishing groups (i.e. fly fishing clubs, corporate outings, etc.) You'll need to bring your own waders, and Kurt highly recommends you test them for cracks and holes before you bring them along! Also bring rain gear and multiple layers (gloves and winter caps if the weather suggests), sunglasses, and your own fly gear if you'd like. Kurt will have rods rigged and ready to go and will supply all the flies, but loves when his clients bring their own gear as well! Lodging: The Lodge There is a one bedroom apartment (with a full size bed) on the first floor. It has a full kitchen, dining/living room and a full bath. It’s around 800 sq ft. Upstairs is another apartment that has 3 bedrooms, a living room, and a full bath. You can rent either upstairs, downstairs or use the entire space depending on your needs and availability. The lodge was designed so that we can back the boat into the shop portion, pull the fish out of the fish boxes, and clean them at our fish cleaning station located inside. This way the fish stay cool even in hot weather. If you’re staying at the lodge you can grab a bite to eat or take a nap while we do the work. Downstairs (Sleeps 1 to 2): 1 Bedroom, 1 Full, Full Bathroom, Full Kitchen, Open Living Space Upstairs (Sleeps 5 to 8): 3 bedrooms, 1 Queen, 2 Fulls, 3 Singles, Fold out couch available, Full Bathroom, Living room, Coffee bar with mini fridge Rates: Lodge – downstairs – $150* per night Lodge – upstairs – $200* per night Full Lodge rental – $350* per night Cleaning Fee: $100* – 1-3 nights; $150* – 3+ nights Read More

If you've been searching for the Lake Erie Walleye trip of a lifetime, look no further.

In the spring, you'll fish the western basin, then move east as the water begins to warm up. In the fall, the fish head back west and eat like crazy as they prepare for the long winter. If you're looking to catch a trophy, spring and fall are the times to do it! On this trip, you'll be using a variety of lures to draw bites. Depending on the time of year, there are a several different techniques to choose from. In the spring, you'll employ diving crank baits that can find Walleye down in the deep, cold water. Towards the middle of the summer, you'll focus on trolling higher in the water column. As the season progresses, you may switch to spoons or other lures depending on what's getting the bite. Captain Jim will make sure to get you set up with the best tackle, no matter the season! Although Walleye arent known as huge fighters, they're widely regarded as some of the best freshwater eating fish out there! When you're fishing with Captain Jim, he'll make sure you head home with a cooler full of dinner. You'll be fishing out there aboard his 22' Bayliner cuddy cabin, a fast boat that's ideal for trolling, with an enclosed cabin to keep you comfortable all day.

If you've been looking for a top-tier sportfishing trip here on Lake Erie, you're in the right place! Many people don't know that the Great Lakes are home to some of the biggest, baddest freshwater sportfish in the USA, and there's no better way to hook some up than a trip with Captain Jim. On this trip, you'll explore the tributaries of Lake Erie, where big Steelhead run. You'll be chasing the fish on flyfishing gear. Steelhead are really a lake-run Rainbow Trout, but due to their diet of baitfish (rather than bugs), they get much larger and fiestier than their river-living cousins. Hunting Steelhead on fly tackle is a real thrill, and these fish provide a challenge for every level of angler! When one of these fish takes the hook, expect a big fight. With strong runs and big jumps, Steelhead are the hardest-fighting fish in the Great Lakes. Captain Jim runs his trips aboard his 22' Bayliner cuddy cabin, a beautiful vessel that's ideal for families or groups of up to four. She's fast, with a 230-HP Volvo inboard engine, and comfortable, with seating and an enclosed cabin area. She also has all the electronics and gear you could want! Your captain will come prepared with everything you need for an awesome trip. Just bring your fishing licenses, proper clothing, and a cooler for your keepers! Read More
