The big schools of walleyes and saugers are out over the deep mud, and all three of the go-to presentations are producing.

Many nice fish and limits have been caught pulling crankbaits or using bottom-bouncers and spinners.

Fishing in the lower Niagara River has been good for both bass and walleye.

Some good browns are coming nearer shore at mid-depths, and on different days, there’s good salmon action there, too.

Deep-water patterns are likely and these warmer days have us adapting a little.

Perch action has been really good out of Portage near the Donut in 20-30 feet.

The good old days are now for Lake Erie walleye.

Here’s what the warming water means for fishing.

The lake trout bite was good for boat anglers trolling and jigging here, with a few reports of coho salmon caught trolling as well.
