and have a nice long season. With the recent warm up and rain on the way it looks like we are in for some fishing in the near future. The question is how long will it last? The answer is i don't know but i will be on the water while it last. I am hopeful that we will have open water from here on out which would make for more than 2 months of spring steelheading which sounds great after the poor Fall we had.

The Chagrin was raging in Gates Mills. I literally saw three whole trees floating down the river.

Around the bend at Wilson mills Rd things are wide open.

I went to Pete's house to steal some fire wood and found him shoveling snow which made my day.

River Report:
As of now all the rivers have opened up and fishing is in our future. The Grand Tribs, Elk Creek and other small tribs are fishing today while the bigger stuff is still high and dirty. With a 1/2 inch of rain expected tonight look for later in the week and weekend to be fishable on many of our tribs. As always when it comes to conditions and catching we will keep you up to date. Here is to hoping for the best Spring in recent memory. Dan and Pete
