Snow melt and lots of rain have the rivers on the rise, but that's a good thing. Next weeks forecast looks very promising with temps in the mid 30's to low 40's from Wed. on. which means very good fishing conditions in the very near future.

There are fresh fish in the rivers from the last rains and this period of high water will allow more to come into the rivers while giving the others time to spread out and move further up their respective rivers. I am still very optimistic about having many good days of fishable water this spring which should begin for us in earnest next week.

The Grand was fishing well before the recent rains and the Chagrin had very good numbers of fish also. The Conneaut is an excellent spring river and will continue to get better and better as spring approaches. The West side tribs fished pretty well before the rain including the Vermilion on Wed. and the Rocky is consistent as ever.

This weekend some of the smaller stuff will fish Sunday Perhaps but surely by Monday reels will be singing with things picking up from there.
We have alot of great events takin place at the shop this month including switch rod, two handed rod, swinging streamers, talk tomorrow at noon with Will Turek. Greg Senyo will be here tying tube flies and sculpin patterns this Wed March 4th from 6-9. We also have fly tying classes starting on the 10th so stop by one of these events or sign up for a tying class.

SEE YOU SOON!!!
