Fly fishing on a tributary off Lake Erie for Steelhead trout. Zonker and other streamers in white or olive were the hot baits! Tatsu for the leader material is amazing!

Cold, blustery day but the walleye didn’t mind a slow presentation. Small rips of the blade bait or creeping the swimbait on or near the bottom.

Great morning trolling Thanksgiving weekend on Lake Erie out of Port Clinton. Water temps in the upper 30’s and the walleye were feeding big time. Targeting the top ten feet of the water column for active fish over 30-40’ depths! Husky Jerks, Flicker Minnows and Dead Eye crank baits were all getting chewed on that morning!

Beautiful Thanksgiving morning on Lake Erie with my son Colton Yarbrough targeting suspended walleye out of Lorain OH. Fishing over 45’ of water targeting feeding fish in that 10-20’ range down in the water column. We had an amazing day catching numerous large walleye. Memories made with family out on the water! Berkley Flicker Shad’s, Flicker Minnows and (Northland) Bagley Balsa Shad’s were on the menu that day!

Slow rolling swimbaits on large boulders were the technique I used to catch the big smallies on Lake Erie.
