MARCH 14, 2026

As most of the ice has cleared from the lake, walleye fishing is heating up on the western basin and steelhead are being caught from the central and eastern basin tributaries. The rivers remain stained and slightly higher than would be preferred due to the large amounts of rain earlier in the week. Expect steelhead to remain in the rivers for about the next month or so. Lake Erie will most likely be tore up for the next couple days with the extreme westerly winds the whole area experienced yesterday. NOAA weather buoy reporting gusts of 54 knots yesterday with sustained winds of 30+ knots. We will be launching our boats last week of March and will have a more in depth report of the walleye fishing off of Cleveland.

Water temp is hovering around 52-53F. Trolling crankbaits from the East Light out to Bratenahl. 25-41FOW. P10s and bandits but mostly just P10s. Leads have ranged from 20-90' behind the planer boards. Our trolling speed has been consistently around 1.8. Only fished the eastside this week. Didn't have to venture to the Cuyahoga or Gold Coast to catch walleye

The walleye are pretty much done with spawning as we are starting to catch very few walleye with eggs still in them. Water temperature off Cleveland is 53F. We've been concentrating our fishing around the mouth of the Cuyahoga or from 55th to Bratenahl. A combination of P10s and bandits have been working well. Most leads for either style of lure have been 20-80' back. Our trolling speed has been consistent around 1.8-2.0.
