The Ohio Central Basin Steelheaders fishing club is an association of fishermen which was formed in 1984 and is dedicated to the protection and promotion of steelhead sport fishing in Ohio and the Great Lakes region. OCBS works hard for you, the steelhead fisherman, to help insure that the steelhead programs will be here for you tomorrow and for future generations to come. The OCBS Team has many ongoing projects and tasks to achieve our goals. OCBS has a great partnership with our state's Ohio Division of Natural Resources (ODNR) and their steelhead stocking program. We are a proud member of the Great Lakes Sport Fishing Council. OCBS works closely with the Cleveland, Lorain, Ashtabula, and Lake County Metro Parks to provide fishing related programs which benefit the general public.

The Most Interesting Woman on the Planet

"I seldom brake off fish, but when I do - they return my fly".


April Vokey
is no stranger to fly fishing, a young lady who's career is growing in leaps in the fly fishing industry, where she is a speaker, promoter, fly tier, fishing guide and fishing hostess.  This very personable young lady is into saving our water and is doing her part to combat its destruction.  You can learn more about April at her Blog  http://flygal.ca/blog.

OCBS brought April to Ohio last year, with the help of Jerry Darkas, to speak at our membership meeting and also teach two days of fly tying classes, some members are still talking about her.

April taught members to tie the Intruder fly pattern that she represents very well, maybe because this spey fly has class, personalty, beauty and catches fish.  April does a great job interacting with her students, you have fun, listen to stories, tie flies, all while drinking a beverage.  Any thing you do wrong on your fly, you'll be taking it apart and making it right, I experienced this first hand.  Without doubt you know she enjoys her classes as much as you do.

OCBS members have attend two back-to-back years of fly tying with April and we are fortunate to have scheduled her again this year.  We have two very enjoyable fly tying evenings scheduled on Nov 14th, and Nov 16th.   The estimated cost will be about the same as last year, $50.00, and the final cost will depend on the cost of air fare. Refreshments will be provide.
