Mad River
Mad River Map- seems to be un-available on ODNR at the moment
Pretty much in "Winter Mode" here for a bit with the cold and snow. The river is in good shape and has been fishing decent....problem is that it's just been too damn cold the past week or so to get out there. The snow on the ground is also making it challenging to get around.
It does look like we are going to get a bit of a warm-up later in the week. This will most likely raise the river due to runoff so we could be looking at a good streamer weekend for those looking to get out.
We have had some good reports of the Winter Black Stoneflies out and about. Pretty much right on time. As always, have some #14 Black Stonefly nymphs with you if you get out.
We'll keep an eye out over the weekend and try to let you know here. Meanwhile, stay tuned and make sure that you are signed-up for our E-News....some big announcements coming!

Clearfork River
Good friend and customer Mike Letizia sent us this photo of a nice brown out of the Upper Clearfork last week before the cold set in.
As you can imagine, things are pretty much in "Winter Mode" up on the Clearfork as well. Although there is some open water, especially on the lower stretch, it's just a challenge getting around both in and out of the water.
Before the cold snap we did have some good to excellent reports as you can see in the picture above. The Upper Clearfork continues to impress and let's hope this continues into the season.
We are expecting a warm-up this weekend and that could change things and get us back out on the water. We'll try to let you know as we do.

Clear Creek
Clear Creek is pretty well locked-up right now and not much fishing going on. We did get eyes on it yesterday and probably won't think about fishing until we get a warm -up. Hopefully this weekend will change things for the better but we'll surely see the water rise with runoff.
As always, we'll try to let you know as we do.

Erie Steelhead
"Big-time" Winter all along Steelhead Alley. Lots of ice and snow are making it pretty much impossible to fish for the time being. They have been getting pounded with snow and frigid temps.
Although there is a bit of open water, not too many reports the past few days. We can tell you that the weekend prior, we did have some EXCELLENT reports and a mess of fish caught all through the system. The fish are there, and more to come, just a bit tough getting to them right now.
Let's hope with the warm-up expected this weekend things open up a bit and we can think about steelhead again early next week. We'll try to let you know as we do.
