About the River

Welcome to some of the best fishing in Ohio. The Rocky River is one of Northeast Ohio's top Lake Erie tributaries and it is known for strong steelhead runs from fall into early spring. The river flows from Medina County up to Lake Erie and has everything you want including deep holes, moving water, shale shelves, and quiet wooded stretches. Along with steelhead you can catch smallmouth, largemouth, northern pike, walleye, white bass, carp, and plenty of panfish depending on the time of year. Water levels and temperature change with the seasons so paying attention makes a difference. Whether you are drifting bait in the cold months or throwing lures for smallmouth in the summer, the Rocky is the real deal and it is right here at home.
