Fishing Reports

With temps continuing to hover in the low 30s things are beginning to skim ice over. Local tribs still are fishable but the fishing continues to be tough for steelhead. Shelf ice and slush will increase the colder it gets. Good luck to every one going out and dress warm. TIGHT LINE!

With colder temps happening over night we could experience more slush happening in the tribs, shelf ice could start to form also. This will make steelhead fishing more difficult but it can be done. Remember when the water gets colder to fish slower and more methodical. Egg patterns along with jigs are always good winter choices. Good luck to every one going out this weekend and dress warm. TIGHT LINES!

Anglers reported the last couple days of fresh fish entering in the lower sections of the creeks. We did get some snow up here over the last 24 hours but not enough to cause problems yet. Standard baits have been working sacs, jigs and beads. Covering water is still the key to success. Good luck to every one going out. TIGHT LINES!

The tribs are still low and clear, so fishing conditions remain much the same. Fishing continues to be difficult with the low, clear water and scattered fish. The most consistent reports are coming from the lower sections of the tribs. There are fish being caught if you can find them, but locating any real numbers is still challenging. Good luck if you get out fishing, and I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!

Good luck to every one going out this weekend. TIGHT LINES!

Nothing much changed over the weekend. The leaves are a problem in the creek's but that happens every year, they should start to dissipate in a few days. Almost all anglers reported struggling finding fish but when they did find them they were willing to hit. Covering water is important this year with having success. We are starting to get some snow up here so layering properly for comfort all day is huge. Good luck to everyone going out. TIGHT LINES!

After yesterdays rain the tribs are dropping but still on the high side. Fingers crossed this rain pushed more fish in. This year you are definitely working for fish.

If you are fly fishing typical egg patterns and nymphs have been working. Good luck to everyone going out. TIGHT LINES!

Over the weekend the tribs received more rain, this did help spread fish out. Angler reports say there aren't as many fish as there should be. You defiantly have to work for them, but there are fish in all the tribs. Single eggs, beads and smaller flies seemed to be the ticket on Sunday. The Erie area is forecasted to receive more rain this week. This most likely will continue to bring in more fish hopefully. Good luck to every one going out. TIGHT LINES!

As of this morning most of the tribs received quite a bit of rain within the last 24 hours. This has made most become high and dirty. With rain still in the forecast till Sunday, we aren't in the clear yet. Check the CFS gauges on fisherie.com the next few days to be on the look out for when they become fishable again. This push of rain should bring more fish in and existing fish should push further up stream. Good luck to every one going out. TIGHT LINES!
