Mad River
Since our last report...the river started to come down and then pretty much each day or so we have been getting a blast of rain. The upper river is getting close and may wind up fishing well tomorrow. The lower river maybe the same but it will surely be streamer water.
If things stabilize here for a few days, combined with the weather we have been experiencing, it could be a good to great weekend of fishing. Have seen some bugs too! Scroll back to the last updates from the 10th and 11th! Haven't heard much since then but of course not many folks fishing with the high water.
We'll get a report up on Friday for the weekend and in the meantime, if you get out, drop us a line.
Clearfork River
The Clearfork is still pretty well blown out and it may be a day or so more on the upper and hard to say for the lower. If we don't get much more rain, they may drop the lower to fishable levels but right now it is out of the question.
If you are a good wader, the upper could be great streamer water the next few days. If you have been keeping track of reports and pictures, you well know it's worth doing.
Should be seeing some bugs around up there as well as soon as the water stabilizes.
We'll get a report up for the weekend and if you do get out, let us know how you do!!!
Clear Creek
Clear Creek is also blown and will be another day or so before we can get back out there. Can't wait though! With these warm temps we should start seeing some good bugs and surface activity.
We'll get a report up for the weekend but if you do get out there before we do, let us know how things look.

Erie Steelhead
Up and down. Up and down. Haven't been able to catch a break since the original blowout on Thursday night.
The V is still up and of course muddy. So are the Rocky and Chagrin and of course the Grand is out of the question. Looks like the V, Rocky and Chagrin should be coming into fishable shape on Friday and into the weekend. We'll keep our eyes on it and let you know on Friday. We did have quite a few folks over the weekend go up to find the high and dirty water and they were able to find fishable water and fish in the tribs to the Grand.
The Ashtabula and Conneuat are actually looking good today and should be fishing well. Hoping to get some photos/reports from there today. Send us a note or shots if you have been out.
We'll keep our eyes on things and be sure to get a report up on Friday with the weekend prognosis and let us know if anyone interested in a guide trip anytime soon. We do have guides available and ready to fish!!

We can't mention who sent this photo on Saturday. Hop on over to Facebook or Google + and read the hilarious post from Saturday afternoon.
