This rain has brought fresh steelhead into the Grand and Chagrin rivers as well as alot of smallmouth bass. Spotty catches of yellow perch have been reported from both piers. Starting to see white perch back in the Grand river. As the water temps get above 55 along the shore, the bass fishing really picking up. Try leeches, nightcrawlers, crayfish, tube jigs, and vibe bladebaits, they're all working well.
We've had some walleye caught in 17-20 ft early morning and late evening. Perch on the lake should pick up this weekend as water temperatures increase.

Yes it rained again, just before the weekend!  But the river flows did not go up very much.
The Grand is at 1250 now and headed down. The Chagrin is 932 and headed down.
The fishing should improve all weekend. Today, try the feeder creeks and by Saturday afternoon the main rivers will be very fishable. A few walleye have been caught on the Fairport pier and I would'nt be surprised to see some in the Grand river in the next few days.
We've had several large steelhead caught over the last few days, including a 35 inch fish out of Chagrin.
Starting to see more and more spawning fish.
