Lake Erie and Tributaries
Lynne @ East End Angler; filed 10/8: Steelheads are in all the east side
tributaries but not in high numbers. Creeks all came up with the rain
over weekend but are fishable by today – Monday. Walleyes are still be-
ing caught in 80 to 90 feet on the East side. One angler brought in a 34
pound catfish from the lake over the weekend; Kirk got a 9.4 pound wall-
eye. Couple anglers did well on perch in the lake off McCord’s Point 60

feet. Piers in PIB have been hot and cold with Liberty Park giving up the
biggest perch. At Lake Pleasant anglers are catching perch and bluegills

of Dutch Fork Custom Lures and Marvin from MC Overhead

Doors in Cochranton, fishing walleye on Lake Erie out of Walnut
th
Creek on Sept 30 . Trolled Dipsys with custom painted Renosky
and Thundersticks on the #3-1/2 setting 140 feet back, and the
#2 setting at 85 feet back; speed was 1/7 mph. Also ran Rapala
Tail Dancers #9 with four ounce snap weights 150 feet back.

We limited out in 2 hours in 69 to 72 feet of water. Moved shal-
lower in 60 feet of water and jigged spoons vertically, catching giant
white bass, sheephead, walleye and yellow perch. It was a truly fun
day. White bass were 16 to 17 inches and sheephead were giants!

Dutch Fork Custom Lures had moved to Cochranton so we can fish
more!

Jeff @ Poor Richards; filed 10/8: There were some steelheads in the
lower part of the creeks – after the high dirty water on Sunday, there
may be more fish. But we need colder water temps in the streams to

get really good numbers. Walleyes are still being caught in 60 to 70
feet west of Walnut – when boats can get out.

Dan @ Elk Creek Sports; filed 10/8: Elk is high and muddy right now
but will be fishable in a day or so if we don’t get a lot more rain. I an-
ticipate some more fish have moved in during the high water, and an-
ticipate even more fish moving upstream with the cold temps coming
this weekend. Looking like it could be a big fish fall – already we have

weighed two 13-pound steelhead and a 10 pounder this past week.
