sunrise steelhead...better than coffee.

Little guy that fought like he was 3x his actual size.

The Upper Chagrin and its counterparts are running pretty high and stained right now but with no rain in the forecast it will make for great late week and weekend conditions on our steelhead Tribs.

The major Ohio tribs our running high, hard, and dirty. The good news is they are all ready dropping and with sunshine in the forecast good fishing conditions will be here by late week and the weekend. Look for the Chagrin to be fishable by late Thursday and the Conneaut by Saturday. The Grand proper is out of commission for the weekend as is the Rocky due to major localized thunderstorms in these areas that dumped large amounts of rain. The Grand tribs will fish tomorrow and the upper stretches of Elk are nice and green today while the lower river is still dirty.

Fresh fish have been moving into the rivers and will continue to do so with this recent rainfall. This next push of fish should be a big one, and they will be distributed pretty well throughout the river systems. Look for great fishing from here on out as large numbers of fish will be present over the next month.

May all your drifts be drag free. Dan and Pete
