Well I headed out today to check the streams from the Chagrin to Walnut Creek in PA. The Chagrin is up and stained. The Grand is stained as well but not as high as the Chagrin. Ash is still low but with a slight stain as well as Conneaut Creek. Elk is up a little and has some color but not the levels we need to see that first push of fish.

As I headed farther east the same was true for the Nut and the mile streams. All had some color but still low and only several fish were caught. Elk had much more traffic than any other spot hit, and I guess they thought the rain had let the fish in, but it was not the case.

We really need a good soaker to really bring the tribs up and blow out all the summer debris, which will in turn, give up more chrome. The best shot for rain is Thursday and Friday with the week-end clearing, we should see some numbers go up from the V. to the Oak. I’ve been real busy with videos and photo’s and building other websites, I wonder how I manage it all, but I do because I love it! Chrome flows through these veins and you just can’t get enough!
