The colour is this river's run stage today, read off PFBC run-timing guidance. Where along the corridor the fish are is not modelled here — only the sixteen rivers the staging estimator covers carry that. Drawn 30 September 2026, north up, and it is a map of the river rather than of the lake it runs from.

1 species runs Crooked Creek out of Lake Erie — steelhead. The corridor is 11.2 miles of run water over 16 NHD reaches, from the harbour mouth up to the end of the mainstem. As of 30 September 2026, steelhead is at first runners.

The run species, one by one

Every species the corridor file records on this river, with the field mark that calls it at the net. Windows are Pennsylvania's curated guidance; a species that runs twice on one calendar carries both entries.

Steelhead — lake-run rainbow trout

A chrome rainbow off the lake, the stripe faint on a fresh fish and loud on one that has wintered in the river. Two runs on one calendar: a fall push that winters in the river and a spring run onto the gravel. The fall fish are the reason a January river is not empty.
