Some great new gear from Simms and Abel has arrived at the shop, fishing is good. What else do you really need?

Fishing on the Chagrin, Conneaut, and Grand has been very good the past week. A fresh push of fish moved into the rivers and the weather has been perfect. Thursday and Friday are looking very good but a cold snap is moving in for Saturday and Sunday so if you can get out before then have at it. If not stop in the shop, say hello, check out some new gear. Tight Lines from Chagrin River Outfitters.

New simms windstopper jacket, headwaters waist packs and the new headwaters gore-tex wading jacket are all available at the shop. If you are in the market the new wading jacket for $199.00 made from gore-tex is a great buy.

For all you swingers out there or those thinking of making the switch so to speak have a new reel to consider. The Abel switch has arrived at the shop and is a thing of beauty. American made craftsmanship and classic design make this a sweetheart.

Justin has been letting me catch the little ones.

But they take a little line and jump.

With a new fly tied on in the fading light of evening its time to swing up another one.

With a new baby at home and the rivers fishing so well i have been a little goofier than usual.

The Grand has been giving up some very nice fish.

In fact it has been to good, if that's possible.

Well at least for me, my phone gets a new fish pic from Bill or Justin every 15 minutes and i am sitting at the shop.

Here's another one from yesterday, in fact i don't have room or the time to put them all up.

When our river were blown the boys did pretty well up on Elk for a few days.

An Elk creek double is always nice, but even better in February.
