Fun In The Sun...Steelhead Alley River Report

Today was another nice day on the Alley! The Guys fished a ton of water again today and put some mileage on the boots. Still not finding very many fresh fish in the rivers, but we are finding decent fish. Flies of choice today were various soft hackle caddis patterns, BOB's minnows, and small rubber legged stone flies.

Looks like we have a chance for rain starting this week, but they are calling for such small amounts that it should help the rivers not blow them out. We'll keep you in the loop! Here is a couple pictures from today and we will have more for you later.

Ohio Steelhead Sunrise!

Bart and Tony made a great father/son team and landed their fair share steelhead this afternoon.

Have a great start to your week!

Steelhead Alley River Report

The weather has been beautiful this week! Lake Erie Tributaries are all at fishable flows with the exception of the Grand River (couple of days). The guys have covered alot of water so far with mixed results. Not alot of fresh fish around and the steelhead that are in the rivers are scattered nicely. Everyone has had a serious case of cabin fever and the streams currently have a ton of angler pressure. Good news is that at least a very small push of fresh fish are moving up river on a few of the area tribs.

Brendan with his first steelhead on the fly.

Changing flies frequently has produced good results. Flies that have been productive for us so far are Chicken Littles, Ice Man Minnows, White/Pearl Buggers, Sucker Spawns in White, Yellow, Cream, and orange. Small stone fly nymphs and attractors such as wiggle stones, phyco princes, smurf stones, and pheasant tails are also good choices.

This buck took Pat's Chicken little streamer. Senyo's Ice Man minnows have taken its fair share of fish as well.

Even a few Lake Erie bone fish.... LOL!

We are on the rivers daily from here on out, and will try to have reports up each evening if possible. If you need a river update or are interested in fishing with us please call us at 888-453-5899 or email us at team@steelheadalleyoutfitters.com. I will check emails as frequent as possible. Have a great spring and hopefully we will see you along the river.

If you are interested in some of our featured fly patterns, the Orvis News recently ran articles on the Robinson's Chicken Little and Senyo's Ice Man Minnow tube flies. If you are into tying your own flies, all recipes and step by step instructions can be found at http://www.steelheadalleyflytying.blogspot.com/ for all patterns we currently use while guiding.

Until Next Time!

Free At Last!

Every tributary on the alley is blown and running hard. Its probably safe to say we will not see much ice the rest of the way, and we are free at last of winters grip on Lake Erie streams. Its obvious that the PA Tributaries will clear and become fish able first. There is still a decent amount of snow around the PA streams as well so this will sustain flows a tad longer than usual. The Weather has been beautiful the past few days, and the guys have been scouting and fishing the Eastern Tributaries where ever open water was found. Some days were better than others but a few good fish were caught on our outings. As soon as the flows are back down to fish able levels we will be on the streams daily...

Nice Buck From Elk Creek
