Never fished the V for steel, but do fish the Chagrin quite regularly. Later is better, (Dec - April) low water and lots of leaves right now. i would be interested in meeting up and showing you around and fishing the area rivers. I live in Cleveland,(God hates me) and am only 20 minutes from the Chagrin. The V would be about a 45 to 1 hour. Also there is the Black river which I am not sure if it gets any fall/spring steelhead runs. But the steelhead will go up ANY river/stream. There is a small ditch behind my brothers, and every spring/fall he has steelhead in a hole right behind his house.
