Fishing Reports- 12/28/15


* Please remember to call us for more up-to-date or detailed information! These reports are not meant to be your one and only, daily source of information. They are typically general, even seasonal type reports and we currently don't have a set schedule as to when we update. Please, just because we don't update as often as we like, it doesn't mean that we don't care.

There are many different approaches you should take in order to get a good game plan for a trip or a day of fishing. Also remember that things change and these reports are what we know at the time of posting only. Keep in mind that we do express opinions and personal preferences from time-to-time which may be different from yours or what you may read elsewhere. Thanks for checking and don't forget to call us if you need any further information or a more up-to-date report. 614-451-0363

Erie Steelhead

Gauge Links and Maps


Wow....we asked for water....and we got it! All steelhead streams in the region are seriously blown out and it will be many days if not more than a week before we get back out there again. As our guides have been saying the past few days..."This is the best news we have had all Fall."

Rest assured that we'll keep you informed as things change and when they do....look out...the fishing should be EPIC for the start of 2016.
