Lake Erie and its tributaries around me are considered one of the best steelhead areas in the world. I know guys that come from Alaska to fish steelhead in the Rocky River.

Erie sure has come a long way since I last fished it in the '60s and '70s. Clean Water Act and phosphorus ban (and restocking) appear to have worked!

Whole different fishery since the zebra mussles cleared the water. Cuyahoga is so clean they are sticking it with rainbows for the first time ever.

Your welcome anytime but if you give me a year or so I hope to have a more lake worthy vessel. You can get out there in mine but everything has to be just right.

Really? Wow! Here's a pic of the Cuyahoga where it empties into Erie taken in '67. Caught fire in '69, as you may recall. The transformation is truly a miracle.

Why is it so red?
What kind of pollution?

I'll be lucky if I ever get up there, but I'd sure like to.
Who knows, maybe one of these days. š

From the mouth of the river, known as the Flats and upstream for several miles through a section called Industrial Valley are steel mills, manufacturing plants, refineries, and paint factories dumping their waste discharges into the river.

DC, How many years had it been like that before it was realized how much harm they were doing?

Way too many! The red is from all the iron oar that was being put back in the river because it came from the lake originally?! Iām pretty sure that was the logic back then. Just before my time. It took 50years plus to clean up. Very little of those polluting industries here any more.
