Steelhead Season 2009 - Week 26
While we evaluate the importance of these weekly reports, we'll keep them coming...
Tough week last week. Was back in CT without a fly rod for some personal stuff, but it doesn't mean that the scene wasn't scoped every day...
Some good days, and some poor days. We had some precipitation, and some nice temps to keep the fish moving in slowly but surely...as always, we were seeing the stone, egg combo's working, and white streamer patterns...typical guide rigs...
Mike managed to get into some PA trout this past weekend, and with a Friday off, I maybe trying to do the same. Rumor has it that there have been some decent hatches coming off so we'll see...

Fly Fishing Film Tour tomorrow, and there will be a full scouting report from that. Tight lines and enjoy the week...
Couldn't Have Said It Better Myself...

Talking about Douche instructors...
"By the way - you really should take a lesson or two. The break in your wrist was awful, and was causing the curve you thought was thew wind. Just saying if you're going to teach...."
Hit on the head perfectly...
Thanks guys...

Some great macro shots, different patterns...
More Tuna Battles...
"Since increasing rarity just increases prices as Tsukiji, Tokyo’s central market where the world’s tuna comes to be sold, this simply raises the incentive to go out and get those last specimens. And because tuna do not stay within national boundaries, they can’t be conserved in sanctuaries."
It's just heart breaking to realize that our children may never get to fish for one of the most amazing species of fish in the world...

Steelhead Season 2009 - Week 25
We have begun the annual run of WAR fishing here in North Eastern Ohio. River levels have come way down from the rain and melt off…which means every prick with a fishing rod in a 200 miles radius has decided to go out for their hero shots with fish pulled from beds…
The good news though that the circuses wouldn’t exist unless there were fish in the rivers. The bad news is that finding a fish that doesn’t look like a Christmas tree or hasn’t been pegged in the nose numerous times by the same yarn wrapped hook shank…
Bitter much? I digress…
Fishing the rivers finally started Thursday afternoon for me. Clarity wasn’t perfect, but the water was fishable. Due to some work complications, I was only able to fish for about an hour before the sun and cold set…one missed grab to show for my efforts…
Friday and Saturday were lost causes…suicide trip to NYC for some family support for my brother…
(View from our hotel)
Schmidt actually made the trip up on Saturday on his own and fared well. He was lucky enough to have no problem finding fishable water, and feeding fish…
Sunday was another gorgeous day, and with my 2 day absence, I asked my lovely wife to join me streamside while we both took in the sunshine. Of course I wasn’t as lucky as Schmidt, and walked into a hornet’s nest of fishermen…from every walk of life. We had the guy wet wading in shorts, the bait chuckers, the large hardware guy casting to beds. As I feared, I couldn’t even get a pull.
Looking ahead…a bit of rain tonight and tomorrow should spark things up a bit. It’s nice to be out throwing line again…
