I recently came across the website from my hometown, Conneaut, Ohio.

I was there last March for my brother's funeral, but did not get to
fish, but every time I crossed Conneaut Creek there were a half dozen
fisherman fishing.

Has anyone fished there? *If so tell me what you think of it.

Thanks.

As a former Oregonian steelheader, and proficient at the sport, I
would not say anything negative concerning Conneaut. If it is that
good, there must be some pretty good steelies there and I would like
to try it myself. Hopefully my travels will take me near there some
day.

As a side, my Father-In-Law coined the phrase "Is Lake Earie Dying?".
He was in charge of the clean-up when working for the EPA. He is 89
now.
