All Lake Erie tributaries were blown out on Monday and were running high and muddy through Wednesday. Silver, Walnut and Canadaway are in great shape today. Chautauqua Creek is slightly high, but fishable. Eighteenmile, Buffalo and Cayuga Creeks are still a bit high, but should be options at some point this weekend. Look for a push of spring run steelhead to have moved in on the latest high water event. Spring run steelhead hit a variety of baits including egg sacs, egg flies, trout beads, jigs with grubs or twister tails, minnows, worms, streamer patterns and bugger patterns.
