White Bass Run Not On Yet!

Hit the Mahoning River in Alliance with fly rods to check out the white bass run.  Water is too low and clear.  A lot of guys out along 225 with buckets of bait and no fish.  I got my first white bass on a fly and Dan pulled in a carp at crunch time.   Anyhow, Stark Parks put a nice trail in along the river and with some rain the fish should start running up the river to spawn accordingly.    

Nite Bite On Ultralight!

Landed a handful of bass at sundown on my favorite bait-- Rebel Wee Craw!  

Chagrin River Report

Ice Bones closed out the steelhead season with the largest buck of the year.  Talk about a guy with skills- Keith landed this fish with spit shot crimped on his line from last years trip.  He also used a fly I tied about 5 years ago made from hair off of our pet hamster named Cupcake.     

WOW! That is a giant of a fish!

Big Dan also had an incredible day landing his first steelhead on the fly rod.  This fish was the definition of a Silver Bullet.  It jumped and tore line off his reel  all up and down the river.       

Hard work pays off,
 and Dan spends some quality time with his Buckeye Beauty!

Nice average size male!

Thank You Easter Bunny!

Big Dan goes on a pike hunt Easter morning and lands 3 of  3 somewhere on the Tusc. or Sandy.  He is now the Crickkids official pike guide.
