Steelhead flies

[Galhug]

I have not been out fishing for steelhead in over 25 years. Since then I have moved from lake fishing area to stream and river fishing areas. Took up fly fishing about 12 years ago but do not get out much. Thinking of trying for steelhead on a fly instead of drifting roe bags.
Last steelhead was at sable falls two 4lbs and one 7 lbs. A bit of a trip to go there now but thinking of trying some streams off Lake Erie. Any suggestions other than grand?

Gailbait: what is it like fishing at Denny's Dam now in the fall? Was thee over 25 years ago standing shoulder to shoulder with others. First tone salmon fishing. Hooked into one a fought it for over 35 minutes with 8 lb test line. Had 3 fellows trying to help me net it but very many griping and complaining that they could not fish because I was taking too long. Finally the line broke when one veteran fisherman tried to net it for me. He said it was well over 30 lbs. Have not wanted to go back there since and turned me off salmon fishing for a long time.
