Morning on the Rock


I fished the Rocky River yesterday morning after dropping off friends at the Airport.  The water was really low and clear, it was flowing at 69 CFS.  The air temp was about 55 degrees, and it bright and sunny.  These were tough steelheading conditions.  I fished a section lower down on the river.  It seemed like every angler West of the Cuyahoga was on the Rock this morning.  Every ford had a dozen or more guys sitting in folding chairs and chucking bait.  No one was catching this morning, not the bait guys, not the hardware guys nor the fly guys.  The fishing was slow, but the beautiful day made up for the lack of catching.

 
 
More of these guys than . . .
