Stream Conditions

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.

Local Weather


Weekly Report: 05/05/25 - Fishing in general has been really good on pretty much all waters. Smallmouth in the Erie tribs has been exceptional. There are also reports that a few Steelhead are still in the rivers as well. Ohio and Pennsylvania are well into the trout season with stocking happening all over both states. The waters are also warming up and the Bass and Panfish fishing should be good from now until late fall. The hatches I saw this past weekend were amazing and the fish were really keyed in on it. All in all this is a great time to get on the water. Warmer temps and good fishing on several types of water and for several species of fish!
