About Conneaut Creek

Conneaut Creek drains 175 square miles in far northeast Ashtabula County, straddling the Ohio-Pennsylvania border near the northeastern tip of the state. It's a classic Steelhead Alley creek — smaller, intimate water that can be exceptional when conditions align. Brook trout in the upper watershed are protected (immediate release required). The river is lightly pressured relative to the Chagrin or Rocky. The gauge at 04213000 is near the lake mouth and provides a good indicator for the lower steelhead run. At 40–300 CFS the creek is a prime wading stream.
