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: 09/08/25 - I walked out of the house this morning to a nice 39 degrees. I have to admit it makes really start to think about the rivers. Fall has always been my favorite season for fly fishing. I continue to see pictures posted of steelhead being caught in the tributaries. Although most seem to be coming from west of Cleavland. As for the other rivers for trout my latest info says its been a little slow. I think the water levels being down and water being very clear is making it difficult. If we get a good bump of cold fall rain I think things will really pick up. I hate to wish the time away but come on October! If you have been getting antsy it may be worth hitting the tributaries since you can still catch Small Mouth and you may find some steel as well.
