This week's fly fishing forecast is live on the Ohio Fly Fishing Guides blog page!

Guide Josh McQueen provides an update on the Mad River, Rainbow Trout, Steelhead and Lake Run Smallmouth. Check out the full report over on the OFFG blog page or see below for a quick breakdown.

Mad River

Nymphing deep holes with Trophy Nymphs or Pheasant Tail Nymphs has been productive. There have not been any signs of Hendricksons yet. 

A beautiful Mad River Brown Trout!

Rainbow Trout

There have been some midges hatching at the Clear Fork River. Nymphing and swinging Wooly Buggers has been very productive.

A big Rainbow Trout from this season!

Steelhead

There are still plenty of Steelhead in the system. The rivers to the west of Cleveland are starting to get low and clear. The rivers to the east of Cleveland are in better shape and have more fresh fish.

Lake Run Smallmouth

A couple lake run Smallmouth have been seen in the rivers. We will start to see more entering the system in the coming weeks!
