Fishing Report:
Chagrin and Conneaut are in great shape and had been fishing pretty well before the last rain, no reports since it has come down but it should be good. I fished the Chagrin down low this morning with no luck water was still just a little to dirty for flies, should be great conditions in the morning. Higher up we found much more favorable conditions but same results on the catching. Elk creek has been good but getting on the low side to be sure. If you are going out over the weekend make sure you are on the water at sunup and give it until 11 or so before it gets to warm, Chagrin and Conneaut will be your best bet. Good Luck, Dan and Pete.
