Elk Creek

Arrived at Elk Creek about 0700. The water was clear but had a heavy cover of slush. We walked to our spot to find two guys waiting for the slush to burn off. While we waited we had a few more guys show up to put the squeeze on us.After the slush started to burn away with the bright sun I managed to hook a nice female. We all started hooking up and it lasted for about three hours. During the fishing time we managed to hook a bunch of smolts. I think we had more smolts than big steel. Almost every spot we went we found them holding with the big fish. I will be posting on my blog http://www.steelheader1.blogspot.com/ for those who want to read a bit more about Ohio.We used single egg, sucker spawn and some streamers for the day. The deeper sections of water had a green tint in the afternoon. Ohio tribs are dropping and the east side tribs should clear quicker than the west side based on the rain we received on Thursday.
