The run corridor The mouth Wakeman Low Head Dam — the run stops here
The colour is this river's run stage today, read off Ohio EPA run-timing guidance. Where along the corridor the fish are is not modelled here — only the sixteen rivers the staging estimator covers carry that. Drawn 30 September 2026, north up, and it is a map of the river rather than of the lake it runs from.

Staging · Steelhead as of 30 September 2026, 1 day out

Nothing is inside a window on the Vermilion River on 30 September 2026. The next run to open is steelhead, 1 October — 1 day from now — and it runs to 31 May 2027. Windows are calendar guidance curated from Ohio run-timing prose and are month-grained, so the edges are the month rather than the day.

Every run window on the Vermilion River, in date order

The window is Ohio's curated run-timing guidance placed on this year's calendar. The stage beside it is this site's reading of that window against 30 September 2026 and nothing more — it is arithmetic on a date, not an observation of the river.
