Scott had a very good day yesterday with his CRO guide, Many fish brought to the net including 3 over 10#lbs with this one being the biggest that tipped the scales @ 13.8 lbs, great job again Scott.

Nate sent us this pic and said giant lake run Browns love Chagrin River Outfitters streamer patterns...Nice fish Nate....

Rivers are in good shape or just coming into good shape all over northern Ohio right now and should provide very good fishing over the next week. The combination of wind and rain has gotten rid of most of the leaves that plagued fisherman earlier in the week and has also brought a fresh run of fish into our rivers. Look for those fresh fish to be pushing upstream over the next couple of days and target areas that will impede their upstream migration as likely holding areas. Cover water until you find an area holding fish as they will likely be scattered around a bit. Hot shop flies have been high water worms, flamingo and chart otter eggs, great lakes sparrows, purple buggers, steelhead princes, copper softies and lite brite princes.

Chagrin River: 141 cfs and dropping, plenty of visibility on the chagrin and the lower sections of river have been fishing fairly well.

Grand River: 565 dropping and clearing, the big river should fish by Thursday/Friday for fly guys, sooner for bait and have fish up to Vrooman road area.

Conneaut Creek: This river was hot early season but fish have scattered out and become more dispersed making them harder to find...should be prime by mid-day Thursday.

Elk Creek: Decent flows but becoming quite clear, look for best fishing to be from sun up to around 11am.
