Walleyes and steelhead continue to be strong targets in northern Ohio.

Steelhead, walleye and perch bite continues to be strong. And some hefty muskies have been reported so far this fall.

Steelhead trout anglers are hitting the northeast Ohio rivers in search of the chrome.

Smallmouth, Steelhead, walleye and perch there for the taking on Lake Erie. On inland waters, crappies and saugeyes are moving into their fall patterns.

Anglers are switching their focus on the Western Basin of Lake Erie to smallmouth bass, which are being caught near Fairport Harbor this week.

With its populations of walleyes and Western Basin yellow perch higher than they have been in an exceptionally long time, fishing action should be off the charts if ice forms there this season.

The water temperature on northern Ohio lakes has cooled into the low 60s, which is triggering a fall pattern for walleyes, saugeyes, and crappies.

Lake Erie smallmouth bass the highlight of this week’s report. But fall perch bite remains strong, too. And don’t forget about the steelheads.

River fishing is a highlight of this week’s report with anglers on the Great Miami, Hocking, and Portage rivers all catching either smallmouth or largemouth bass in good numbers.
