RU Ready for some Smallies?

GET READY MAY 15th!www.islander.com
As another Season winds down here on Steelhead Alley for one species, another one starts it’s own annual migration into the same tributaries, and can you say welcome to the Smallies! Of course there are other game fish that do the same thing, like Walleye, Musky, and Carp! Now I’m not a big fan of these other species of fish but I can tell you this, I’m going to target them all this year, and my new motto will be; ‘If it swims, I’ll try and hook it by fly or float!’
I have been laid up pretty much since December 3rd of 2008, and now that I’m very close to being 100%, I’m not waiting till the Fall runs of Steelhead to get my lines wet again, no sir! I’m going to chase whatever swims in our river systems all year long, and make the most out of each trip, with digital photo’s, video clips, product reviews, and honest angling reports!

Want a Lifelong Memory? RU Coming to Steelhead Alley in the Spring and or Early Summer? The only Guide Service on Steelhead Alley I would ever recommend is Now changing gear and ready for the Spring and Summer fishing that makes Lake Erie a World Class Fishery that it is. These guy’s are not just good anglers, but friends as well. Once you fish with them, you’ll also call them friends, and not because they’re Steelhead Alley’s Top Notch Pro’s, but because they’re just as Passionate/Honest at the Sport that flows in my veins, and probably yours included. Give them a ring or check them out here;

The area rivers and tributaries have been fishing hit-n-miss over the past couple of days, and most of the fish on the Chagrin have been on gravel or back into the Lake due to the higher temps over the last week.
The Grand on the other hand has been showing fresh chrome at every report, and even as she drops off to 47cfs and more without the rain. Sounds good to me! Stay safe out there and as always Fish On!
