The western end of Lake Erie is the known as the "Walleye Capital of the World," producing more Walleye per hectare than any other lake in the world.  Lake Erie anglers target Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, Yellow Perch, Rainbow Trout, Steelhead and White Bass.

Lake Erie Fishing Report

Lake Erie is producing good catches of walleye in the 17 to 21 inch size range. Most anglers are using crawler harnesses on bottom bouncers while others are doing well on spoons and body baits. Most recently, the best fishing has been in 23 to 25 feet of water near Stony Point and straight out from Bolles Harbor around the E-Buoy.
