A Day Away Fishing Adventures

Back at it !

11/9/2015

My thanks to all whom have joined me for the 2015 Walleye , Perch , and subsequent Steelhead Seasons ! It has been a great success as most years past . The year was a fishing year and not a catching year however ; a great time was had by all with over 100 trips in the books with Something Catchy Charters while I was running their boats . Many memories made and now the Steelhead and Trophy Browns are coming into the streams . Here's a few pics of what we have been catching in the last few weeks and a bunch from the summer season. I have plenty of dates available for walk in steelhead and brown trout fishing ; just give me a ring : )

Tight Lines are coming !

1/28/2015

2014 has came to a close and many memories have been made . Cheers to the prosperous times ahead and find some pics below from the last couple months excursions . Fishing has been good up until the "freeze down" of the past few weeks . The streams and rivers will be thawed soon and hopefully we can get some of those cancelled trips back on track . Tight Lines as usual Captain Don !

Cold Temps & Fresh Fish !

12/3/2014

Well winter here came in like a lion but the below freezing temps have subsided . The fishing has been good but not as good as the company I've shared . Plenty of memories have been made over the past few weeks with some nice Brown Trout and numerous Steelhead Trout to be had locally . Water conditions have been good to great with moderate water flow and some tint in the water column making the fish easier to sneak up on ! Find pics below of what has been caught in the last week or so and as always tight lines !

Epic Steelhead run

11/3/2014

In my opinion this fall's run of fish is as numerous or more numerous as the 2008 steelhead run and they are still coming in ! We started our Lake Erie / Ontario Tributary Steelhead , Salmon , and brown trout trips in mid September and they have been a great success . I have been very proud and humbled to share in memories of many first's this season by numerous anglers !

I take great pleasure in helping these folks obtain their first Lake Erie Tributary fish and watch as they evolve into fish catching machines throughout the day ! Here are some pictures below of our recent adventures .... Thank you everyone for joining me in the "wilds" of northern PA , Ohio , and New York ! Plenty of time to get on the water .... We will continue to offer guided trips on the tributaries until late April 2015 ......

Plain & simple slobs .... DAILY !

9/11/2014

My apologies we've been so busy HARVESTING no time has been allowed to update the webpage . Here are so recent catches ...I hope you enjoy the pictures half as much as I've enjoyed the smiles ...What a great season 1500++++ Walleye and many more Perch have already met the freezer ! . . Captain Don

Walleye fishing is on fire and the perch are getting hot !

7/7/2014

The Perch bite was a little slow but is hot as of last week and will remain this way until the end of October ! Walleye catches have been excellent with some batches with a 6 lb average . Plenty of 2003 year class fish available 8 plus lbs ! Find below pics of our recent meat runs : ) Also notice an unusual catch as of late a 28inch musky from 72 feet of water ! The first from Lake Erie I've EVER seen personally.
Tight Lines Captain Don !

No Hope for migratory Walleyes ..... Let the coolers be filled !

6/23/2014

49 Walleyes , a Steel Head Trout , and numerous tasty white bass in two days . Fishing has become catching as of late and it will continue to be for months to come ! Book your trip of a lifetime now the remaining dates are dwindling ! Fish right now are averaging 6lbs and plentiful !

Let the Walleye Genocide Begin

6/11/2014

6-10-14 Good numbers of fish are to be had and with a 6-7 lb average size . We hit 4 limits or 24 Walleye off Conneaut , OH and the previous half day trip we got 7 of 13 bites in the boat in 3.5 hours . The fishing will keep improving daily ( if that's possible ) ! Find below some pics from our recent nite bite & day bite excursions ; along with some video footage from Shawn's first ever Walleye ..... An amazing experience that I got to be a part of !

I hope everyone is ready for a great season ; the fishing is gonna be HOT !

Spring in the making

3/24/2014

I am pleased to report the harsh winter we were experiencing has subsided and cooperative fish are lurking near . Find pictures and videos of our winter fishing and recent trips below . The creeks were pretty much locked up until a week ago when warmer temperatures let the majority of the accumlated ice flow back to Lake Erie . Frank came up to fish near perfect conditions on Saturday March 22nd . He brought 5 steelhead and two nice brown trout to hand ! Frank did not let these fish have a chance bringing in more than 75 % of what he hooked ; a fine job dude !

The water had a perfect "green" patina and visibility was 15-20 inches into the water column that makes a great scenario for excellent cold water steelheading . These conditions are great to help one learn how to "read" water in search of these arm length trout in lieu of sight fishing them .....

Early Winter Continues to AWE

12/4/2013

Our 2013 Charter Season is over however ; the fall trophy Steelhead and Brown trout returns were excellent and local tributaries continue to fish steady . Even in cold temperatures fish have been continually decieved throwing flies , egg sacks , live minnows , trout beads , and jigs . Some fresh fish have been caught and observed moving into tribs with each rain or melting snow event we receive .

Winter flows on our local tribs usually maintains a beautiful "green " color that typically makes the bite better than early season's clearer flows . The coloration is caused by sediments that run off from shale / clay deposits on our banks .

There remains plenty of available opportunities to catch these fish as we approach April . Find below photos of recent catches from October through November . Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or needs you may have tight lines .......... Captain Don Stephens
