Wow...Chagrin River Outfitters guide lands the fish of the year with Chris, his client for the day on CRO shop pattern...35.6 inches long with a 19 inch girth works out to around 17 #s....great fish

Reports coming into the shop are East side streams like the Conneaut and Grand have been fishing well with a nice batch of fresher fish in the rivers, flows are good and clarity is just about perfect...the Chagrin is getting pretty low and has slowed down but there are a few fish being caught on our favorite river...Have not had many reports from the west side but the ones we are getting seem to be consistent, that if you are getting out and putting the time in you can manage to hook into a few...Elk creek is getting low but holding a little color and as always has plenty of fish on the river.

Hot flies have been Steelhead princes, Nuc Eggs, princes, lite brite nymphs, lite brite zonkers, and Purple sts buggers...May all your drifts be drag free..Dan, Peter, and Justin
