Got out Wed. morning on the Chagrin before the rain and snow returned to northern Ohio only to find the visability around 8 inches, when i was expecting a minimum of 16. Was a little disappointed as i underestimated the affect the light rain had on the river and this really made fishing conditions much tougher than i had anticipated. With that in mind we rigged up and fished away reminding ourselves that is was 4o degrees in February and 6 inches of stained water was much better than 6 inches of hard water.
We managed one beautiful hen that had just made her way into the river and gave a good account of herself before being returned to the river.

All things considered we had a nice window to fish that was pretty productive. Some of the smaller stuff should fish this weekend if you are looking to get out and there are plenty of fish to be caught. Until then keep tying flies, i know we are and stop by the shop to see some of the great new gear we have in stock.
