I use power pro 30 lb trolling for walleyes. Works very well. Like any line when storing ,Keep out of sunlight. I also change line every two years. I pay 12.90 for 150 yards in Pittsburgh at Walmart world. I think a good price.
2 lb tip it line. Slip bobber. On bottom you have to have bait float for bottom. Fish will bite when stocked depending on when last feeding was at hatchery.
Trout your best bet to fish. Many lakes stocked for ice fishing(no ice this year) watch creel limits as they change with season. Pa lic with trout tag. May want Lake Erie tag also. 38.50$ wow. Line weight best at 4 lb. try different brands for one you like. Light to med rod and medium reel. Start the old school way with minnies, earth worms , wax worms , butter worms.
Pa fish and boat web site gives all info on where and when to fish.
I fish western and northwestern pa and northeast Ohio.
I bet a nice fight.
Beautiful fish for this time of year.
I use 4 lb Ande line on spinning reel. No need to horse these fish. Set drag and have fun with them.

To fish , a hook
Merry Christmas!
I will not keep the Great Lakes quiet.
Do we eat to fish or fish to eat?
Fish on wherever they are biting in the USA 🎣 and 🍺
When using power bait ,trout swallow it a lot. If deep. Cut the line , close to the mouth of fish. Hook will rust out, but will keep trout alive. I have caught fish with another hook in it. I easily removed most of them. I use #12 hooks and close barbs. It helps. Try different techniques till you find one that works for you.
Kerry you fish way different than we do on Lake Erie tribes for steelhead.
What is a corky. ? You have a pic of one. May work here.
Also do you use a three way swivel ? I know your water is higher and faster than Lake Erie.
Thanks
Get some cured salmon skien. This is at the bait shops in your area.
90 % chance to catch one steelhead or brown trout.
I use 4 lb Florocarbon and no. 12 hooks. Bebbe wieghts
Just charter fishing trips. Maybe easiest thing for you to do. Most likely cheaper.
Polomar knot. Donot for get to come back thru loop on braided line to hold knot.
Uni knot on braid to mono.
There are others but these are easiest for me.

There is still very little water in creeks. No big run of steelheads.
50 fishers fishing for 20 fish in a hole. Not a fun day. I have been sitting on the docks or land catching a few. Lake needs to cool down and rain is needed.
