Joe Tregaskes — Steelheader
I grew up in western PA where hunting and fishing were the primary outdoor activities for a kid. I started fishing for trout around the age of 8 and early on, worms, minnows, and Mepps spinners were considered
the only sensible “bait”. The introduction to fly fishing came in my late teens. My interest was mainly trout until I caught my first Steelhead. This was 15 years ago on the Anchor River near Homer, Alaska and I can
still visualize the event like it was yesterday. As fortune determined, when I returned home I found an article in Fly Fisherman Magazine which featured Steelhead and Brown Trout fishing on the Salmon River in Pulaski, NY. A month later I was there and the addiction was fully embedded. While early on I focused on the Lake Ontario tributaries, for the last 10 years or so it has been solely on the Lake Erie tributaries from western New York through eastern Ohio where I usually do 3-4 trips per year.
