Steelhead
Chasing steelhead near South Point, Ohio, offers a unique opportunity in the Buckeye State, despite the saltwater/brackish water types indicated. Steelhead make their way into the tributaries of the Ohio River, offering exciting fishing. Focus your efforts during the cooler months, primarily late fall through early spring, when these fish are actively migrating upstream to spawn. Pay close attention to water conditions – a recent rain can significantly impact the bite, bringing fresh fish into the system, but also increasing turbidity. Natural presentations are key; try drifting egg patterns, nymphs, or small spinners in areas with moderate current. Adjust your depth based on the water temperature; steelhead tend to hold closer to the bottom in colder water. A good access point is the public land along the Ohio River near the Route 52 bridge, offering bank fishing opportunities. These fish can be quite strong, so be prepared for a good fight on lighter tackle!
