We are going to be on the rivers tomorrow for some fishing and picture taking (hopefully some fish in those pictures). Reports have been good and the next couple of days should be productive until the next blowout (late Thursday and Friday). Over the weekend we will see what happens but i expect the smaller tribs to fish Sun.-Mon. with the larger tribs coming back into shape by mid to late next week. The extended forecast is very favorable for Ohio Steelheaders and i am anticipating one of the best spring seasons we have had in a long time, meaning there will be many more fishable days than we have gotten the past few years.

If you are looking to get out the next couple of days the Grand and Connie have been solid while the Chagrin has been OK with some fresh fish in the mix. West side streams are fishing well also according to our sources. Remember that this time of year to watch the night time low temps and when they start hitting the low 20's and teens it is going to be a slush fest first thing in the morning so shoot for later in the day.

Black stone flies (among others??) will be coming into their own and you should have a good supply. If you don't stop by the shop and we can suggest some proven winners.

Don't forget that Will Turek will be here at the shop this Saturday giving a talk on Great lakes switch rods. He will cover the basics including rod length and weight, line choices, what to look for in a reel, and other aspects of two handed rods that many of us have questions about. The talk starts at noon and will last for about 45 minutes, following the talk questions will be fielded so make sure you come prepared with questions and really put him on the spot. If you are interested in this exciting technique for steelhead stop by as i know it will be packed with great information.
