I made the trip up to Erie last year with my 10 year old son to try out stream fishing for Steelhead. As an avid Chesapeake Bay and offshore Atlantic fisherman, I thought I lived in the heart of some of the best fishing this country has to offer. I soon found out that the streams off of Lake Erie produce some of the best fishing I've ever experienced. Joe's patience with a "Steelhead Rookie" and my young son was truely commendable. Despite frigid temperatures in the teens and floating ice, Joe put us on fish after fish. We came home with 7 large Steelhead and lost many more as the fish dove under the ice. This was unquestionably one of the best fishing trips I have ever had and he can count on my business year after year. I sent Joe back some great pictures that I hope he'll use for his website and you can see for yourself our results under his guidance.

I have fished in Erie with Joe many times and I can honestly say that there hasn't been a time where I came home empty handed. He always puts me on the fish and shows me what to use depending on the current conditions, and instructs me thoroughly on each technique. Just being around Lake Erie and its tributaries and seeing the thousands of giant Steelhead right in front of you is worth the trip alone.

Take it from someone who has traveled the world seeking many different hunting and fishing adventures, my experience with Joe could not have been more satisfying! Not only did he put us on the fish, but his attention to detail on everything from hand-tied jigs, to finding those "secret spots" will keep me coming back year after year.
