While there is usually a really good bite right before inclimate weather, Steelhead bite well after a good rain and water levels are dropping back down.
Weekly Report: 11/17/25 - With the colder temps and some snow it really feels like winter is knocking at the door. With that being said the recent rain and melting snow has the tributaries in great shape to bring in more fish. The rivers have dropped back to low levels and now is a good time to hit the water as wading can be done quite safely and there are plenty of fish in the system. I have spent a lot of time last couple of weeks fishing and talking with others. Reports that the streamer bite is hot have been what I am hearing but I can tell you from my own experience that the egg bite is hot as well. I think if the water is higher and more turbid you may be better swinging big streamers but if we find ourselves back in a low and clear water situation again do not be afraid to try minimalistic eggs such as the classic clown egg or blood dot. As far as other trout fishing I know the lower Clear Fork is fishing now and Apple Creek is still in good shape. The Rainbows in the upper Cuyahoga may have spread out but with temps being cool they should still be there as well. If you are looking to get out just keep and eye on the weather and when you see favorable conditions, fishing should be good almost anywhere you choose to go.
