River Reports:
For early season steel head keep on the move until you locate the fish and fish low light conditions found in the mornings and evenings. Look for fast water with 2 feet or more of depth. Also be prepared for big hard fighting fish as this time of year, they are supercharged.
Your best bet for Ohio Steel continues to be on the Conneaut river in the lower stretches. Conneaut still has some color but very fishable and will have good conditions for the weekend.
Grand and Chagrin are holding fish in the lower and middle stretches though not in any numbers to speak of. Look for numbers to improve as days get shorter and more rain raises the water levels.
Elk creek in PA still has the most numbers and water conditions are good. There is some color in the holes as off today and fish are up past Folley's Camp ground.
Hot flies have been small natural colored egg patterns, caddis larva, white buggers, and small stoneflies.
