"Cooler Conditions but Steady Catches: Fishing Report for Lake Erie near Cleveland"

  • Summary

  • As of November 2, 2024, the fishing scene on Lake Erie near Cleveland is bustling despite the cooler weather. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Weather and Tidal Conditions
    The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 50°F and a low of 40°F. Winds will be moderate, coming from the northwest at about 10-15 mph. Tides are not a significant factor on Lake Erie, but water levels are currently stable.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at 7:34 AM, and sunset will be at 5:47 PM, giving you a good window to catch both morning and evening bites.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw a decent amount of activity, particularly for steelhead and walleye. Anglers reported catching steelhead in the Rocky and Chagrin rivers, which are currently elevated and muddy due to recent rain. However, as the waters clear, these rivers should offer excellent steelhead fishing prospects.

    On Lake Erie, walleye and yellow perch were the main catches. The Cleveland shoreline has been producing consistent bites for these species.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish
    Steelhead are the highlight in the local rivers, with several anglers reporting catches of smaller steelhead in the northern parts of the Rocky River. On Lake Erie, walleye and yellow perch are abundant, with some anglers reporting limits of both species.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For steelhead in the rivers, using spawn sacks, small jigs tipped with maggots, or fly fishing with streamers and nymphs have been effective. On Lake Erie, walleye are biting on crankbaits, especially those that mimic baitfish, and jigging spoons. For yellow perch, minnows and small jigs are the way to go.

    ### Hot Spots
    The Rocky River and Chagrin River are hot spots for steelhead, especially as the waters clear from the recent rain. On Lake Erie, the areas around the Cleveland shoreline, particularly near the marina and harbor areas, are producing good catches of walleye and yellow perch.

    In summary, today looks promising for both river and lake fishing. Be prepared for cooler weather, and don’t hesitate to switch between lures and bait to find what the fish are biting on. Good luck out there
