The amount of new water we as steelhead anglers have in South Chagrin Reservation is a blessing, the amount of fishable water that will actually fish well is amazing. Every bend reveals a new hole, run or riffle that looks like the fish will stack up in.

Cold clean tributary that may see some naturally reproducing steelhead.

Speaking of natural reproduction. Nice drop back that ate a big streamer on her return to the lake.

Reports from the last day and a half have been very good with anglers reporting good numbers of fish on both the East and West side tribs. Fresh fish seem to be coming in in good numbers as the ratio of fresh chrome fish vs the holdovers is 3 to 1. Orange egg patterns, great lakes sparrows, lite brite zonkers, and black birds nest nymphs have been hot. Things are looking up, good luck, Dan and Pete.
