  • Fishing Report for Lake Erie, Cleveland: Steelhead, Trout, Walleye, and Perch Hotspots
    Feb 15 2025
    Hello there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, your go-to expert for all things fishing in and around Lake Erie, Cleveland. As of today, February 15, 2025, here’s what you need to know to make the most of your fishing trip.

    ### Weather and Tidal Report
    The weather is still mild for this time of year, with temperatures hovering around the mid-40s to low 50s. This mild spell has significantly impacted our local streams and ice conditions. Unfortunately, ice fishing is not recommended at this time due to the lack of solid ice.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise today is at around 7:15 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 5:45 PM. These times are crucial for planning your fishing trips, especially for those targeting species like walleye and yellow perch, which are often more active during dawn and dusk.

    ### Fish Activity
    Currently, anglers are having great success in the Rocky and Chagrin rivers, where steelhead are active. The recent thaw has made these streams fishable, but be cautious of treacherous ice slabs along the banks, especially near the Rocky River boat ramps.

    In addition to steelhead, recently stocked trout are a big draw at several lakes and ponds within the Cleveland Metroparks. Lakes such as Wallace, Shadow, Ledge, Ranger, and Judge’s have been stocked with a mix of rainbow, brook, brown, golden rainbow, and tiger trout. These fish are biting well on small baits and jigs under small ice floats or on the shore where the water drops quickly into deeper areas.

    For those fishing in Lake Erie, walleye and yellow perch remain popular targets. The Western Basin, particularly around the Maumee River, Sandusky River, and Sandusky Bay, is known for its walleye hotspots. Yellow perch are abundant near Catawba, Marblehead, and the Bass Islands.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
    Recent catches include a variety of trout species from the stocked lakes. Anglers have reported catching rainbow trout, brook trout, and even some trophy-sized tiger trout. In the rivers, steelhead are the main target, with anglers catching both fresh and overwintering fish.

    In Lake Erie, walleye and yellow perch are the stars of the show. The Western Basin has yielded several impressive walleye catches, while the areas around Catawba and Marblehead have been teeming with yellow perch.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For steelhead in the rivers, drifting dime to nickel size spawn sacks, smaller marabou/hair jigs tipped with maggots, and egg mimicking beads under floats are effective. For trout in the lakes, small baits and jigs under small ice floats, or small to medium size jigging spoons tipped with maggots, waxworms, or small minnows are recommended.

    For walleye in Lake Erie, night fishing with lures that mimic baitfish or using live bait like minnows and nightcrawlers can be very effective. For yellow perch, small jigs tipped with minnows or crickets work well.

    ### Hot Spots
    If you're targeting steelhead, the Rocky and Chagrin rivers are your best bets right now. Be sure to check the river flow data and be aware of the ice conditions along the banks.

    For trout, head to Wallace, Shadow, Ledge, Ranger, or Judge’s lakes within the Cleveland Metroparks. These lakes have been recently stocked and offer good opportunities for shore fishing where the shoreline drops quickly into deeper water.

    If you're looking to fish in Lake Erie, consider the Western Basin around the Maumee River and Sandusky Bay for walleye, and the areas near Catawba and Marblehead for yellow perch.

    Stay safe, and tight lines Remember to always check the latest fishing reports and follow safety guidelines, especially when dealing with icy conditions. Happy fishing

  • Lake Erie Fishing Report: Walleye, Perch, and Lure Recommendations for Cleveland Area
    Feb 14 2025
    Hey there, fellow anglers It's Artificial Lure here, and I'm excited to share today's fishing report for Lake Erie, particularly around the Cleveland area.

    First off, let's talk about the weather. As of February 14, 2025, we're looking at a chilly but manageable day with temperatures in the mid-30s to low 40s Fahrenheit. The skies are partly cloudy, which is ideal for fishing. There's a light breeze out of the northwest, so make sure to dress warmly.

    Sunrise today is at around 7:15 AM, and sunset will be at about 5:45 PM, giving us a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing.

    Now, let's dive into the fish activity. Recent surveys by the Ohio Division of Wildlife indicate that while the 2024 walleye hatch was below average, the overall population of walleye in Lake Erie remains healthy thanks to six consecutive above-average hatches from 2018 to 2023. This means you can still expect excellent walleye fishing, especially in the western basin[1].

    For yellow perch, the news is even better. The western basin saw an above-average hatch in 2024, with an index of 673 young-of-year yellow perch per hectare, which is significantly above the average. This bodes well for perch fishing in the western half of Lake Erie[1].

    ### Best Spots and Lures

    If you're targeting walleye, head over to the western basin hot spots like the Maumee River, Sandusky River, Sandusky Bay, and the Reef Complex. Breakwalls around Huron, Huntington Beach, and Fairport Harbor are also great spots in the central basin[3].

    For yellow perch, focus on areas like Catawba, Marblehead, Bass Islands, and Kelleys Island in the western basin. In the central basin, try nearshore areas around Ruggles Reef, Vermilion, Fairport, Perry, Ashtabula, and Conneaut[3].

    ### Lures and Bait

    Given the current conditions, I recommend using a mix of artificial lures and live bait. For walleye, try using jigs with minnows or nightcrawlers. Artificial lures like crankbaits and spinner rigs can also be very effective, especially if you're looking to cover more ground quickly[4].

    For yellow perch, small jigs with minnows or maggots work well. If you prefer artificial lures, small soft plastics or tiny crankbaits can mimic the baitfish that perch are feeding on.

    ### Recent Catches

    Recent fishing has been good, especially for yellow perch. Anglers have been reporting great catch rates and excellent fish size in the western basin. Walleye fishing has also been consistent, with many anglers catching their limits, especially during the late fall and early winter months[1].

    In summary, today looks like a great day to get out on Lake Erie. With the right gear and knowledge of the hot spots, you should be able to land some impressive catches. Stay warm, and tight lines
