The Rocky River Fishing Report for Saturday, May 18, 2013

WATER LEVEL: very low

CLARITY: clear

WATER TEMP: 57°F

FLOW: very low

THROW: streamers, stick baits, spinners, tube jig

GRAPHS: See real-time USGS water graphs here!

NOTES: The Rocky River is very low right now and could benefit from a wave of rain. Multiple species have been hitting over the past week, with reports of sheepshead, carp, quillback, sunfish, catfish, bass, and even a spring-run gar coming in. The bite for the large, lake-run bass has not been great, but there are a few big bronzers around for anglers that cover a lot of water. Plenty of smaller bass (10 - 14") are in the river now and more than willing to bite streamers, spinners, stick baits, tube jigs, and top water prop baits.

FOUND: A fly box filled with flies was found on the Rocky River near Water Street. If you believe this to be your box, please email us to claim it.

LOST: Jeremy T. accidentally left his Simms wading boots at the Rocky on 3-29-13 near Big Met golf course. If anyone picked these waders up, please email us or call the Rocky River ranger station at 440-331-5530 to get them back to Jeremy.
