Challenging conditions

Recent low water levels coupled with very clear water and heavy angling pressure have led to some tough steelhead fishing in the area.  Look for the steelhead to be in the deeper holes or near the mouths of the river.  The best success has been with eggs and jigs tipped with maggots fished deep.  Scattered reports of success in the Grand River have come in from Grand River Landing, Kiwanis Recreation  Park and Beaty Landing.  A few success reports have also come in from Chagrin River Park.

There is more to fishing than just catching steelhead as the picture above shows.  This was taken in the early morning hours at Kiwanis Recreation Park.  The steelhead are here for the persistent angler and nothing beats a quiet morning on the river.
