I don't know if i posted this pic yet or not but i saw it and said man that's a big brookie. This one is courtesy of my little brother at laurel highlands guide service. If you are looking for a great float trip this summer close to home give them a call.

My new friend Tony and i did a little fly fishing school together at one of the local trout clubs and had a great time. We started with the basics of casting, knots, etc. and worked our way up to putting a fly on and catching a few fish. Other than the fact that he is an old baseball player and wanted to throw the rod in the water every cast, i would say he took to it like a fish to water. Congrats Tony on taking the first few steps, your on your way.

Did somebody give Kilby to much coffee this morning, he's killing me.


For all the great customers of Chagrin River Outfitters and all the guys that bellyache about never having a sale be here June 16-18th for a great sale just in time for fathers day, graduates, and anyone looking to pick up that special something they have had their eye on.

River report:
Pa trout fishing is on fire. Bugs are hatching, fish are eating. If you are thinking of making the trip stop thinking and get going. Green and brown Drakes, tan caddis, and a few march browns have the fish looking up. Mornings and evenings are prime time.

For you local fisherman the lower,lower, grand is loaded with white bass and a smattering of good size smallmouth. Clouser minnows and white zonkers are hot.
