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: 03/31/25 - We definitely got a good amount of rain last night up here in Northeast Ohio. With that the tribs are all high and pretty unfishable at the moment. From what I have seen, the smaller creeks are even a bit brown this morning. All in all, it looks like a good day to tie flies. With a bit of rain still in the forecast, I do not expect to see the water come down very much this week. This will do one of two things. It will either let the last little bit of fish in the river that have yet to come in to spawn or, it will flush out the spawned-out fish that were already dropping back in the systems. Now for the good news. I have seen some really impressive Small Mouth being caught in the tributaries and with the weather warming up that action should be hot soon enough. Also, Pennsylvania's trout season begins this month and for anyone willing to make a day trip or weekend out of it, it's about as good a trout fishery as you will find anywhere in the world. For anyone fishing this weekend up on the tribs, plan on high water and rain but you might just be able to find some fish. If nothing more than a few suckers hit your flies that's still a pretty fun day as they pull like trucks. Don't sleep on those golden Bonefish!
