I've always found this old photo of a salmon trying to jump over a dam fascinating. It is hard for me to put in words how passionate I am about this picture. The spirit of this fish is awe inspiring and no matter how many times I view it, it makes a strong impression. In 2008, this photo was the foundation of my new site logo.

Still Chasen' Steel
The last few weeks I have been having a lot of fun chasing the Steelhead. It has been rather good fishing with both numbers and a few larger fish. The fish to the right was a fiesty 24"er that had some incredible girth. I can't even begin to explain how much of a great fight this fish put up. Along with the Steelhead, I've gotten a few other species here and there. Any bait fishing I have done has yielded many White Suckers and River Chubs. I'm usually happy just as long as some-thing is cooperating.

Click the logo above to visit the official ODNR website for fishing. Ohioans are truly fortunate with a fantastic amount of opportunities for catching fish. A big thank you to the ODNR that has largely been responsible for getting this done!
The original site launch was in late November, 2002. Through many website updates and layout changes, I have reset the hit counter numerous times. the current number represents visits since summer of 2007. Since inception, CoolWaterFish has had over 20,000 unique visitors. I truly feel honored to have shared my passion for multi species fishing with so many people.

Website Updates
With no recent huge site overhauls I have been able to get out fishing more and find it easier to keep everything current. I have to wonder how many nice fish I could have caught if I wasn't constantly messing with the entire site layout as it is so time consuming. As for the most recent updates they would include changes on the Walleye & White Bass Run page, a new entry on the Picture Journal page for 2008, and some updates here on the index page.

ODNR Spring Trout Release Dates
Make sure to click the link for the ODNR site in the left margin. These closed water trout stockings are a lot of fun. Most of these locations do not have carry over during the warm weather months so the fishery is designed as a 'put and take'. This helps the overly assertive catch and releasers like myself not feel guilty about keeping some fish for the smoker. In all seriousness, these fish really are fun to catch and generally not very difficult either. The daily limit is five fish and I have caught fish ranging from 10" to 18". An added bonus is that they throw a few Golden Rainbow Trout. I have not been fortunate enough to catch one of those but I will be making a good effort again this Spring!

Fly Fishing Film Tour
The North Branch Boys are hosting the 2008 Fly Fishing Film Tour on April 22, 2008. Please click their logo to the left to get all the details. It's not all that often that we get something fly fishing related so close to home, so let's make sure to give it a lot of support. It really looks like fun and I will be attending. See you there!

Walleye Run in full swing
I've been too busy fishing for the Steelhead to get out for the Walleye, but the run is in full swing now. It's quite the experience if you haven't ever done it. I have a page devoted to the run if you check out the links under Info & Reference.
