Honesty is our number one priority at Dfishinfool's Guide Service. 

We know most people are smart enough to spot a fake or a liar.  Before you book a trip with any Steelhead Alley Guide ask them how many years they have been fishing Ohio. If they are honest you might be surprised by the answer. Anybody can be a internet hero and since you don't need a license to guide Ohio.  Out of state guides are flocking to the area to make a quick buck. Our team of guides have been fishing Ohio and the rest of Steelhead alley our whole lives.  We want lifelong customers. We strive to exceed our guests expectations.  My guarantee is simple. If your not 100% satisfied with anything we do contact me.  If I can't make it right. I will give you a full refund. No questions asked.

Since 1998 I have been posting  Steelhead fishing reports as a service to my friends and guests along the streams. We have offered these reports free to the public. I have assembled all of our past reports here for your enjoyment.  Our hope is that you recognize our passion for the fishery and consider us for a guided trip or as a guest at our Steelhead School.  We are your local steelhead pro's

So if you have some time sit down and take a blast thru our past Over 1100 pictures and 50 individual pages.

 I built these pages myself with my very limited self taught computer skills.  I can assure you I am a much better fisherman than webmaster. Its comical for me to read some of these old reports before I figured out how to use spell check and front page.  I apologize. So please understand that these WebPages may lack catchy graphics but they are honest and come from the heart of a steelhead addict.

"Steelhead Alley"

Steelhead Facts

All of our streams in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York hold fish during the winter months December- March 

MOST YEARS ALL OF OUR STREAMS FREEZE OVER IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY

New York Steelhead fishing is best in October thru December but most years the Cattaraugus Creek s the first stream to get a run of fish

Pennsylvania Steelhead fishing peaks in November and December but gets runs as early as September.  They are the most heavily stocked streams on "Steelhead Alley" and hold the most fish per square mile.

Ohio Steelhead fishing starts in October and lasts until early May.  Ohio streams are usually fish the best in the spring.
