Clear Fork River Report!

The Clear Fork was running fast but had a nice green stain to it Sunday afternoon.  No flow meter on the Clear Fork but  the gage height was 1.6 ft.  Probably fishes a lot better around 1 ft.  Big Dan landed 2  browns on an ultra light rod.  Average size Clear Fork brown on red trout worm.  Great looking fish and a lot of fun on ultra light tackle!  



Steelhead Report

Saturday Spikekayak  and I worked the Chagrin River for about 10 hours.   Conditions were bright sun, strong wind,  and temps. in low 50's.  Nothing the first 8 hours- then the clouds rolled in and the bite turned on for a brief window.  Several  fish landed on jig and maggot and egg patterns.   All the leaves are gone and the fish are here and will keep coming with each rain till late spring.    

Fresh Lake Erie Chrome just in from the lake.- egg pattern. 

Another  dime bright hen on an egg pattern.



Fish Skulls

Wasn't able to get out this weekend. Sooo- the next best thing to catching fish for me is tying flies that catch fish.  Here is a 6-pack of  streamers tied with "Fish Skulls" weighted heads.  They are now available in my online store --" Steeliemanflies" .  Check it out!



November Bass!

Not big , but full of spunk for November.  This bass chased down my spinner fly in a pond along side the Tusc.
