Hard to believe that another year has just about passed here along steelhead alley,  Thanksgiving has come and gone and 2013 is just around the corner, amazing really.  Not sure if its possible or not but does time really go faster as you get older?  It seems like it most of the time these days.  However there are times that if I pay attention, usually with a rod in my hand, that things seem to slow down to a very peaceful and manageable pace.  These times though fleeting i am very thankful for this year more than ever.  Hope everyone had a wonderful 2012 and 2013 is your best yet.  On the North Coast of Ohio 2012 has been a tough one for many Steelheaders.  An unusually warm spring had the fish in and out very early and this Fall started good but stalled out after Thanksgiving.  However reports are in that with these last few rains that the fish have arrived in good numbers.  One angler described it as a triple run of fresh fish on an eastern trib on Tuesday and anglers on the lower Chagrin did well also on Tuesday.  So lets keep our fingers crossed and hope that 2012 that came in like a lamb on the fishing front goes out like a lion.  Happy Holidays everyone.

 

Some pics of a few new gift ideas at the shop and a bunch of fish pics of course.  Remember to please support your local fly shops during the holidays because they support you during the fishing season.
