NEW Spring Steelhead Spot | Almost Too Easy

The 2026 spring steelhead run in Western New York is shaping up to be pretty good. In this video, we are heading out to the Lake Erie tributaries to target those aggressive, chrome-bright steelhead that push into the creeks as the ice melts. We’re spending time on the creek and navigating the cold water drifts to show you exactly where the fish are holding when the water temperatures start to climb. When it comes to spring tactics, we’re shifting our strategy away from the slow winter drift and moving toward high-visibility presentations. We'll be fishing avariety fo baits to find out what the fish want. We also dive deep into how to target "drop-backs," which are those hungry, post-spawn steelhead making their way back to Lake Erie. These fish are notoriously aggressive, and are usually a violet strike that you just won't get in the middle of January. It’s not just about the fishing; it’s about understanding the unique opportunities of the WNY shoreline and how different weather patterns affect each tributary differently.
