What is the Chagrin River water temperature?
The Chagrin River gauge does not have a water temperature sensor, so none is shown here.
How many steelhead are stocked in the Chagrin River?
90,000 yearlings each spring, managed by Ohio Division of Wildlife. Stocked yearlings spend one to two years in Lake Erie before returning to the stream as adults, so each spring's stocking shows up as the next falls' runs.
