About Your Trip
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, 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.
