Check the latest streamflow data on the USGS website by clicking on the links below. I recommend that you look at streamflow in cubic feet per second.
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: 10/20/25 - Well, not much has changed from last week except a good amount of rain over the weekend. With the temperatures dropping and the flows up, we should get our first real push of Steelhead into the tributaries. Social media is a buzz with pictures of guys landing chrome. Watch the USGS flows on the links below and if you have time, try to get on the board. Seems like they are hitting just about everything right now. On the trout front, the upper Cuyahoga has been stocked with 3000 rainbow trout at Waterworks and Burst Park I had a wonderful day up there this past Thursday. Apple Creek also has had its first stocking. Also, if you fancy heading into PA, Neshannock Creek got a stocking of sizeable fish from the Neshannock Creek Outfitters lunker fund. We should also see the lower Clear Fork get its first fish in the next few weeks. With all of that being said, the season has begun, and the fishing should be excellent in many places.
