Jonathon Freeman, of Buffalo, N.Y., caught a 24-inch hen steelhead at Walnut Creek Access Area using sucker spawn. He caught another on skein, and both were landed on an ultralight rig spooled with 4-pound test.

His fishing partner, Edward Lawrence, of Corry, caught three steelhead including a 25 1/2-inch, 6 1/2-pound buck upstream of the mouth of Twenty Mile Creek in late October. All hit on skein. Lawrence is a NWPA Outdoors contributing writer.
