Grand River

[Live2fish85]

Wow is all I can say, I went down to Lake Erie this weekend for some fishing from shore and at a local creek. When I seen the Grand River I was surprised at how high it was I haven't seen it this high ever I know when the ice moves down river it backs up in Cayuga but this was insane. It looks like it will be awhile before the water level comes down. An all I caught at Lake Erie was something I have never caught there it was a Gizzard Shad about 13 or 13.5 inches I have a picture of it so I will post it when I get time to load the camera. In all my life growing up on Erie I have never caught a Gizzard Shad there. Has any one else caught any on Erie.

Should have brought the flyrod! I've heard those shad are a riot on a 3/4wt.

I use the links to individual river flows from this site when thinking about hitting the Grand. It gives flows by location, tributary and compares to normal. Gives a great indication on when the river is fishable once you have used it a few times. GRCA River Flows
