11/25/10 Happy Turkey Day

Well it rained almost all night last night but we decided to head out far East. We hit Walnut first thing and found a hole wide open and not a person around. Dennis and I started to hit the hole and we both landed about seven. During the course of the morning I also hooked a Russian and smacked the same guy in the side of the head with my rod. I actually hooked the same guy twice until he and his gang left empty handed. I don't know why this guy wanted to get that close but he learned very quickly. To the older guy I left my spot too I hope you did well. We fished for almost three hours on Walnut and then left. We headed to Elk and hit the access area. I found one person fishing above the mud hole so I floated some brown trout eggs. I landed six more on Elk. It rained almost all morning and when we were leaving Elk at 2:00 the water was coming up. We checked all the tribs going West and found them all up and muddy. I attached a few pics of some fish from today.

2010 New York

Well after a great weekend with the guys I have some nice pictures of some great fish and guys. Another great year In New York. I want to thank everyone for a great weekend.

P.A Steelhead

The guys went up for an early day and landed a bunch of nice fish. Here are a few pics.

Crappie Heaven 5/16/10

We started the day off late. We headed to the local crappie hole around 12:00 and finished at 6. We used all kinds of Mr.Twisters but the most productive was the Chart. We had no bass today but plenty of Crappie and some gills thrown in. The weather was great the company was even better. Keep the reels screaming

Rocky River Ohio

Started out late in the day to put in a late shift. I started at the West Branch and ended up in Lakewood. I hit several different spots with different conditions. I landed 13 fish but many more hook ups. I fished the park section most of the time to find myself in pure heaven. The park system is probably one of the most gorgeous places I found so far to fish by myself. I met a few guys who also were having a good time. I did have the opportunity to meet a real nice ranger who also was an avid steelheader and he gave me some info that helped. Keep the reels screaming

Grand River Ohio

Dennis Vidmar of Vidmar original flies had a real nice day to be on the water with a couple of great guys. Steve and Kevin fished a section on the lower end of the Grand. Dennis has been putting together a new arsenal of flies for the new year. Keep the reels screaming

4/15/10 Grand River Ohio

We hit the Grand river with a bunch of friends only to find fresh big fish. We fished a very nice stretch of water away from the crowds. I have attached a few pics. Keep the reels screaming.

4/12/10 Grand River

We have been fishing one of the premier rivers in Ohio for the past few days. Its nice to see big fresh fish every day. We managed about 20 today using everything we could throw. The drop backs have been hammering flies on the swing. We also have been using the new vidmar swinging stones. Also Blaine has been producing some nice flies. I have attached a couple of pics. Keep the reels screaming.

Happy Hunting

I have not posted in a while but wanted to let every one know that the fishing has been real good all over Ohio. I have had the opportunity to fish from the P.A line all the way to the Rocky River. The current fishing conditions are very good. I have posted a few pics from a couple of recent trips. Keep the reels screaming.

Open Water ( Ohio Waters)

I have not posted in a while but I wanted to get the word out that all the waters are open and fishing well in Ohio. We fished a few tribs from the P.A boarder West. Some rivers are fishing better than others. We managed to get out on Saturday and found a few nice fish. The fish are in the deeper runs and some are on the reds. We used the Vidmar minnow and many other flies to land some nice fish. As of Monday night the waters have become high and muddy. The east side tribs and big rivers feeders clear quicker so hit the feeders if you can.Keep the reels screaming

2/26/10 Frozen Again

I wanted to post to tell everyone we are still in the freeze mode. We do have some open water but not much to talk about. The weather gods are not in favor for steelhead fisherman yet. Next week we will see some days above freezing but not the warming temps we need to remove the ice. Keep the reels screaming

Frozen Over

I have not posted for a long time due to the fact all the waters are locked up. Almost every day and night have been below freezing. The next five days of temps will still be below freezing. As soon as the waters open I will post.

Open Waters

I wanted to post to let you all know that some waters have open up in Ohio. The smaller feeders have open water but the major rivers are still locked up. The waters should open up by this weekend. Keep the reels screaming
