Nice fish Bobby...

Cleveland Steel compliments of the Rocky River  Got out and wet a line while visiting daughter in Ohio.Monday I went to the Chagrin River way up stream where I thought they should be but there were NO Steel to be found.So then I looked at the Grand and it was high and murky,decided to try a trib of the Grand but it was low and clear.Had four hookups there but because of the low water and size of the creek it was n't much to talk about.By mid afternoon it was very hot and that was the end of fishing Monday.
Did n't get out until Thursday  and went to the Rocky.The Rocky runs through a huge park and is in the city of Cleveland,so there you are fishing for Steel in a large city,it's a little weird but that's what it is.Anyway I found lots of fish and played with a bunch,lost more than I landed but brought a few nice ones to hand.Today I went back to the Rocky and had a bunch to play with.I had one on that might have been the largest Steel I ever fought,it looked as large as a KIng When first hooked it just dogged it and tugged but did n't run,then it got tired of me and took off brought it's head to the surface and thrashed its head....the fly popped out.This was a huge male and its head looked as big as a Salmon.I did manage to bring several to hand today.
I guess that's it for me this season as I won't be able to get away again for awhile.

Congrats on your success Jack.

Glad you finally got out PA.
When a really big one swings its head side to side it feels like you've hooked a king.
One of the biggest I've ever hooked (I couldn't follow) just swung its head peeling 2 or 3 feet of line from the reel and backing down.
Holding for a second then doing it again.
Nothing I could do but hope it came back.
Never did and I had to tighten down and snap it as it went over out of the hole.
Still remember the shakes it gave me.
 

Look like they finally shut it down.  From 1800 to 750 starting tomorrow night

Jack it sounds like the Easter bunny has given you some nice treats . You deserve them all my friend .. I'm jealous ..
Work work here again after my adventure. I hope the fish wait for me but know that won't happen.. Ah , if I ever match 1/2 your adventures I'm a lucky man..

Short lived back to 1800
 

Hey Lucky hope the jazz fest is to your liking.
I think they should hold it year round.
Seems like I don't see as many shootings on the news while it was going on.
Wear your steel toed boots just in case someone tries to make you dance like in an oldschool western.

In dedication to last nights show.. Same name, completely different vibe and venue..
