Spring Steelheading Is Here

  Well it is that time of year again to get the equipment out and catch some Spring Ohio Steel. As most of you know the weather has been unseasonably warm with a day or two of cold weather thrown in the mix. The rivers didn't really freeze this winter so there has been people out and about over the winter months.  There have been some caught but the numbers are not in yet and that is the time that everyone is looking forward too.
  I am going to try to keep up with the blog a little more but it will be harder during my guide season due to the lack of internet where I stay for the season. I have been busy filling fly orders along with getting my fly boxes stocked up for my clients for the spring season.
     There hasn't been much to talk about as far as steelheading goes,  that is all about to change and hopefully this spring the weather will co-operate and we all can get lots of days of fishing in.If anyone is looking for a guide you can go to www.defranksflies.com and book a trip while there are still days available and it is first come first serve on the days and it is booking up fast. You can also visit the site and check out some of the new patterns we have to offer as well as the reports page that also has a fall steelheading video on it. Well hope to see some of the people that I met out on the streams this year and that everyone has a great and safe season.

IT"S STEELHEADING TIME !!!!!!

        Yes the time everyone has been waiting for is finally here. I know that there have been steelhead in but the numbers of steelhead that were waiting to come in finally had the rain they needed to make there run into the rivers. I have been getting many reports about good numbers of Browns that are being caught along with good size ones too. I know by now everyone heard about the 15lb Brown that was caught in the lake in front of 20 mile well that wasn't the only brown waiting to come into the rivers. In my opinion this is going to be a great fall for Browns which I am very excited about,I know that most people are going for steelhead but the chance to catch a trophy Brown is very exciting. I will be posting more reports as the season unfolds....
