We had a dream job the other day. Three anglers all fishing 2 handed rods, all swinging flies, sweet.

A really blurry picture of a really good caster and angler.

Here a patient angler waits for a grab on the dangle. Was the patience rewarded?

Hey here we go.

A nice chromer swung up on a purple string leech.

Hooked up and chasing one downstream that whacked a white hackle flash streamer.

Another fresh hen that couldn't resist. Steelhead will aggressively chase down a protein snack this time of year.

Another one comes to the net that hammered a swung fly. You don't catch a bunch fishing this way but the takes are electrifying.

Oh by the way, large aggressive steelhead are what you are after when swinging.

River report:
Rivers are once again on the low and clear side except for the Grand which is low but has decent color. The fishing has not been spectacular anywhere that i know of but is improving over the last few weeks. The best action has been on the Grand and on the Conneaut. With more rain in the forecast look for more fish to make their way into the system and improve angling success. The one bright spot has been the major increase in large brown trout being caught by anglers on Elk creek and some Eastern Ohio tribs as well. These fish were stocked two years ago by PA into Elk creek and are all ready returning in good numbers and averaging 25-26 inches.

Angling Tip: With fishing the way it is right now, which is on the slow side anglers can increase there chances by targeting streams with the best conditions for catching fish. Also cover water, if your not catching fish in one area or section keep moving until you find some and when you do find them pay attention to the type of water they are holding in and look for similar areas for repeated success. Good Luck
