Great Rivers
With high water this week ,we should see even more fish push up are rivers. Western streams seem to have more fish spread threw out they're systems than the far Eastern tribs. There are no lack of big fish around this season with solid 10s and larger being common. With high off color water spawn ,big jigs as well as large flies are working best. The guys making the adjustments for high water are reporting the best fishing we have seen in years.With mild temps the next few days ,the bite should stay very good.Night walleye is still going strong with reports coming in from Huron, Vermilion and Cleveland all reporting good fishing. The best baits have remained the same all year. Husky Jerks are the best bet from shore with F-18s being the bait of choice for boaters.

Wind/Rain
Wind and rain has been a blessing to steelheaders but a big headache for the walleye and perch fisherman. Rivers have swollen and let fresh runs of steelhead move freely threw out are rivers and should be a great week. Smaller rivers will fish as early as Monday with others to fish bye the end of week. Jigs, spawn bags and streamers have all worked this past week. Will keep you updated on river conditions later in week. New shipment of Dan Bailey waders have been a big hit. Nothing like staying dry standing in the river all day. Wednesday, September 28, 2011

Dropping Temps

Tuesday, September 6, 2011
Reading a new book about Steelhead Alley has my blood pumping again. Steelhead river fishing is just around the corner. Cool temps and the Salmon running in are sister states can only mean its almost here. With high winds, walleye and perch fishing is on hold for a few days. The past week sure did let us know its perch time with limits being caught in Lorain, Avon Lake ,Rocky River and all ports East. The best size fish have came in from Avon Lake and East. Shiners have been in good supply with the latest hatch about 1.5". Walleye fishing on the East end of the Lake slowing it will soon be time for the Lorain shore line West to pick up after this blow. With most fall bites Reef Runner and Colorado's ran under 2 mph will for sure fire up. Have a great week and get ready for a great fall!Tuesday, August 30, 2011
