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!

I love nailing feisty smallies on jerkbaits. One of the best ways to catch the bigs in my opinion. This technique is solid early season/pre-spawn from ice out through to early May. Find some isolated boulders and vary the retrieve of your stick baits. I usually start off fast & erratic then slow down if they aren't chewing. Top bait is for sure the 110, either original or the +1 or +2s. I typically start with the +1s then adapt based on what I'm seeing on my graphs. Jackall, Yo-Zuri, Ima, etc. all make great jerkbaits as well, but nothing is as balanced & solid as the Megabass series IMHO. I know they're pricey, but they're worth it.
