The boys in the shop have been playing some serious hooky this past week and the Steelhead have been paying for it. The fishing has been OK in some places and better in others but overall pretty consistent. The Chagrin, both upper and lower is fishing well while the Visibility on the Grand is OK for bait but marginal for flies. The Vermilion had a good push of fish and is fishing well while we have not heard much on the Rock. The Conneaut has lots of ice, especially down low but that will begin to break up here pretty quickly so that river will be an option this weekend. There is a good mix of fresh fish and older fish in the rivers keeping rods bent and the fresh fish should start to outnumber the older fish here in the next week.

The forecast is outstanding with temps that look like early April instead of early March with nightime lows not low at all so slush will not be a problem in the mornings for a while, Giving us all day to get out and fish which is all we have been waiting for.

Flies that have been working well have been our hot spot stones, Russian River Specials, scrambled eggs, Princes, glo bugs, and psycho princes.
