I took a little drive today to get everyone some river pics and let you all know what kind of shape the rivers are in. I didn't get a chance to do any fishing but reports coming into the shop are mixed with some guys finding a few fish while others have not been so lucky. Looking at the sunny side of things which is how we like to view it is its the end of January, the weather has been fairly nice and, the rivers are opening up and there is plenty of water to go out and wet a line in if you have the itch.
Grand River looking upstream from Vrooman Road....
Grand at the Confluence of Payne creek looking downstream...
Lower Grand at Kiwanis Park...High and not much vis but the river is pretty open and should be in good shape early next week...
Chagrin River Park looking downstream from footbridge...
Chagrin Looking downstream from Rogers Road....
Chagrin at Gates Mills Dam...plenty of flow with a nice Steelhead green tint to the water...
Chagrin River: The lower you go on the Chagrin the more ice you will find...the upper has plenty of open water with good flow and color...
Grand River: The Grand is high and off color but much of the ice is gone and should be fishable be early next week unless we get a bunch of rain....
Rocky: Reports from the Rocky have been good water conditions..plenty of open except at the lower end, and OK fishing.
Elk Creek: Plenty of open water on the Elk and reports are fishing is decent...
Thats all the first hand news we have at the moment but will be on the water the next couple of days to keep you in the loop...the fishing has been slow and with the lower rivers still iced up i would not expect that to change much until they open up a little allowing some fresh fish to enter the rivers...but if you have the itch you can at least scratch it....good luck
