Conneaut Below rt 90 Grand @ Vrooman Rd.



Below: Steelhead Heads....


Pretty Freakin' High.....With more to come!!!!



However there were plenty of Steelhead on the move yesterday in and around the river mouths and the smaller tribs. We witnessed many fresh fish making there way upstream as best they could while fighting this spring torrent. Many where seen negotioating very shallow fast runs while others we watched trying to leap downed logs, waterfalls, and sometimes other fish because the were so thick.

Fishing today (Tuesday the 10th) has been very good on Elk, smaller PA tribs, and smaller OH tribs as well. If the rain holds off fishing should remain great on these smaller waters as the larger rivers are still a good way from being fishable. However 1"-2"'s is in the forecast threatening to at least blow things out for a while longer and perhaps flood some people out as well, lets hope that does not happen. One things is for sure and that is once this water comes down to fishable levels there will be more steelhead in the rivers than we have seen all year.
