The Fishing has been good on Steelhead Alley!

Well the fishing has been very good, but we could use a serious dose of precipitation. Swinging woolly bugger’s, sculpins, and streamers has been hot for drop backs and surf casting around the mouths of the tribs has also been a blast, the water temps are cooler in the lake and loaded with fish both fresh and drop backs. There are schools of Emerald Shiners every where making streamer fishing a blast!!!

We had a great time tying and casting during Orvis days at Chagrin River Outfitters, and I will be in Dayton and Cincinnati next week giving fly tying demonstrations and seminars For Orvis and local fly fishing clubs. We still have Trip days available to fly fish for small mouth bass, large mouth bass, pan fish, white Bass, and Carp this summer on Ohio rivers and a few private lakes and ponds. Our Brook Trout retreat again this year is nearly full and our Second cabin on the Tionesta Creek being constructed and will be completed and ready by this fall. fly fishing for spring trout fishing and summer small mouth from this cabin is spectacular.

Our guides are still on the river targeting what is left of the spring steelhead run and scouting out all the small mouth water as well , and look for their reports shortly. Stay tuned for a great summer of fly fishing adventures and destination trips still yet to come.

Look for our Steelhead Alley Outfitter Guides and their photos, articles, and stories in several publications this summer from Fly fisherman Magazine, Ohio Country Anglin Magazine , Cleveland Plain Dealer, The Beacon, Orvis News, D'arcy Egan's Ohio outdoor adventures TV show, and a host of other wonderful local publications and broadcasts.
