Of a heavily spotted smallmouth, someone told me once what these markings are from but i forgot, sorry. Fresh fish from a chilly morning last week.
Ready to roll this morning for some swinging on the Chagrin.
Everyone at the shop wants to know when will it stop raining and where are the fish?


Well the fish are in the rivers, in the Lake, or in somebody's smoker. I don't know when it will stop raining. I do know that anglers on the upper Chagrin today did pretty well with fresh fish that smashed flies, broke some lines, and broke some hearts in the process. The rest were brought to the net, photographed and released to fight another day. With todays rain the Chagrin will probably be unfishable until late tomorrow afternoon when the upper stretches will clear up enough for fly anglers to fish again. The Conneaut is dropping into shape and should be ready to go by tommorrow or Wendsday at the latest which gives us a nice outlook for the rest of the week. Elk Creek also got a nice push of fresh fish as well. Lite brite zonkers, river roe eggs, black psycho princes and steelhead princes have been very hot. Good Luck and see you in the shop and on the river, Dan and Pete.
