Hey folks, Sorry we haven't been up to date on our reports. everyone has been scrambling around working tradeshows for the past month or so. Vinny and Uber are down at the Cincinnati Travel, Sport and Boat show show now. I will be headed down tomorrow morning for the rest of the weekend. Then we are off to the Greater Cincinnati Fly Fishing Show sponsored by the Buckeye United Fly Fishers Inc. on February 4th. We hope to see everyone there.
 
I just walked back up for Pinehollow with Orvis. The PM has been fishing good to above average these past couple of weeks. The river has crested and on it's way back down and looking very inviting I might ad. There is good color to it with temps right around the mid 30's. If I had my druthers I would be strippin or swinging a streamer over the next couple of days instead of driving to Cinci but duty calls.
 
If you think you are a hard core swinger, check this guy out!
 
In lieu of steelhead porn Josh and I thought we would show what our efforts were provide for enduring the past single digit weekend followed by a torrential down pour.
 
 
 
 
If river fishing isn't your thing then come on out and try your hand at some of the ice fishing around the area. It's a hoot pulling some of these big fish up through the ice.
 
Cheers,
