Sunday evening I took the wife out for some laid back fishing and decided to try our luck in the Chagrin. I know its late in the season for Steelhead, but we thought we'd give it a shot. I was marking major quatities of fish in the deeper holes and we tried the usual Steelhead techniques (jigs/maggots, spoons, etc.). After catching a few of the fish on the screen and having several more jump close to the boat, I discovered they weren't Steelhead at all but CATFISH. My wife hooked a monster on a bobber and minnow that took 20 minutes to land.

Does anyone have any information on Catfish activity in the Chagrin (or other Lake Erie tributaries) this time of year?
