With a nice sunny outlook for the weekend and early next week it seems like we are finally going to get a nice extended period of time to get out and do some fishing. Flows on the East side are high but dropping fast due to the cold temps. Visibility will be an issue tomorrow on the larger tribs but by Sunday the Chagrin and maybe the Connie will be in good shape. For today and Saturday look to the smaller East side tribs, Elk Creek, the Rocky and the V on the west side for best results.

Good Luck.
