Flies for Steelhead

This is going to be my first trip to Erie on 11/17 and i'm wondering what flies are the best for Steelhead(type,size and color).
Thanx for the help.

    All depends on water color and flow for the sizes. Keep it simple because PA fish are not that hard to catch under normal flows. Woolybuggers in wht blk and olive sizes 8-12. Egg patterns are a good choice as well. Single egg, ssucker spawn, crystal meth, scrambled egg, estaz egg and so on. Sizes 8-12. Any streamer pattern will work as well in wht olive char and brwn. Nymphs yor basic hares ear, pt, caddis, and stones. As for sizes go big for dirty water and small for clear water. For crystal clear super low water like now. I would stay home and get ready for another time. Hope this helps good luck and be safe.
