West Branch, Chagrin River
The west branch of the Chagrin River is the truest example
of a minimally disturbed native stream fishery on the fringe
of the Cleveland Metropolitan area. The native stream fish
fauna is diverse and includes species of darters, sculpins,
catfishes, minnows and sport fish not found in other major
streams in the urbanized area.
Cleveland Metroparks hold ownership to a five-mile stretch
of the west bank of the Chagrin River from South Woodland
Road (S.R. 87) to Cannon Road/Solon Road. This stretch is
accessible by walking the bridle trail and access trails along
the west bank of the river. Stream fishermen must be sure
they remain on Park District property and not stray onto private
property.
Significant stream fisheries are present in this area for
smallmouth bass, rock bass, crappie, bluegill/sunfish, bullhead,
carp and suckers. The stream offers a challenge for light/ultra
light spin tackle and for fly fishing.
