Salmon & Trout

Lake Erie is a better walleye, smallmouth bass and perch lake.  Salmon and trout are secondary, however, many anglers due pursue them when they are easier to target.  In the fall, salmon and trout will move into the tributaries to spawn and you will often see boats trolling the mouths of these tributaries as they search for active salmon and trout.  Once there are good numbers of fish in the tributaries, you will see plenty of anglers targeting these fish from shore.  Steelhead are popular on Lake Erie and there is a section called Steelhead Alley that can help you find more information on where to target the steelhead on Lake Erie.
