What You Can Catch on Lake Erie

Lake Erie is a world-class fishery, and our trips are built around the seasonal movements of its most sought-after species. From spring jigging runs to summer trolling action and fall feeding frenzies, each time of year offers something unique. Walleye is the star of the show—Lake Erie’s claim to fame—but we also target Yellow Perch, Smallmouth Bass, and Steelhead depending on the season. This guide will walk you through what’s biting when, how we fish for each species, and what to expect on your trip. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned angler, knowing what species are in season helps you plan the perfect trip—and get the most out of your time on the water.
