If you ever wanted to get out and try for lake run small mouth bass in our local rivers now is the time. Right now the lower sections of the Grand and Conneaut are fishing pretty well. Elk creek in PA is always a good bet for big lake run smallies as well. The Chagrin and Rocky rivers have been producing some lake run smallies as well and have also provided some great sight fishing opportunities for carp. Basically this time of year in our local tribs anything is possible when you have a line in the water, there are still a few steelhead running around, big smallies, walleye, sheepshead, carp, gar, pike, muskie, white bass, and who knows what else are all in our rivers this time of year and all willing to eat a fly.

On the trout front things are going strong in PA. For all you sulphur fanatics they are starting to see a few in PA all ready and the March browns, and green caddis are going strong. Water conditions in most Pennsylvania rivers and streams have been very good this spring providing consistently good fishing. Right now water temps are around 55 in most places which is right around the magic mark for heavily feeding trout.
