Alaskan Experience With SAO

I have heard it being said, and at one time believed it myself! That the Great Lakes Regions of Canada and the U.S. offered salmon fishing that rivals that of Alaska, and even better it was half the cost for the same experience... After being in Alaska I quickly came to reality and understood that the people saying such a thing have either never been to Alaska or just need to have their head and eyes checked!

Each year we host several great groups of angler's from across the lower 48 to what has become one of the great fly fishing experiences of my life. I truly believe that it is a must experience to fish and share these waters along side the Grizzly Bear at least once in your life!!!

So if you are looking or wanting to head north and are interested in meeting angler's of all walks of life, looking for a festive good time, chowing down some great food, telling fish stories in good company, and long for catching fish on the fly...! Give us a shout we would love to have you as a part of our outing each year!

Mertensia Springs Trout and Wilderness Conservation Club

During the summer months we offer trips exclusively through the Mertensia Springs Trout & Conservation Club in Ludlow Falls, Ohio. The club offers 3 distinct fly fishing opportunities to its visitors.

My favorite is fly fishing in Ludlow Creek! This is awesome 3wt water that is stocked with both Rainbow and Brown trout, and is home to wild Small Mouth Bass and Rock Bass! This stream is a blast to wade and alot of fun to spend the day on.

The club also borders the Still Water River which has been rated one of Ohio's Top Small Mouth fisheries. Several water way lakes are also on the property offering superb Large Mouth Bass, Crappie, and carp on the fly.

Lake Erie Steelhead.

The tributary streams of Lake Erie in Pennsylvania and Ohio offer three seasons of spectacular fly fishing for steelhead. Many anglers who travel here can not believe how beautiful the fishery and scenery can be, due to "Steelhead Alley" being so close to or within major metropolitan areas such as Erie and Cleveland.

The truth is Steelhead fishing here has become a way of life and an addiction most will not be able to shake once you have tried it!

8 hours with a professional licensed fly fishing guide
All rods, reels, leaders, tippet, and flies are included
