I would show you pictures of the area streams today but my camera broke. I bought a new one, though, and will take more pictures as this week goes by. We received quite a bit of rain today which caused stream levels to rise quickly. The streams as of today at 6:30 pm are still extremely high and murky making fishing nearly impossible.
Yesterday, was a good fishing day with steelhead being caught in decent numbers. I can't confirm the following report but I think the crappies have turned on in Misery Bay and the lagoons in Presque Isle Bay. If not, there was a heck of a lot of fisherman out there getting skunked. A half dozen or so boats were clustered by the Perry Monument in Misery and there were quite a few people fishing the lagoons. It started raining hard so I did not get out of the car to check on the fishing but I will be fishing for those hefty crappies this week.
Steelheading will probably be poor for the next day or so. It all depends on when the rain will quit. One advantage to all of the rain is that the streams were running high enough to allow more fish to run further up.
The perch fishing in the bay is just starting to pick up. I saw a few in buckets around 10 inches and talked to fisherman who said they returned a lot more tiny guys.
The Lake Erie water temperature is still around 35 F and may be a little warmer in the bay. It needs to get up to about 40 F before the fish really start to hit and good catches become more consistent. May your lines be tight and your hooks be happy!
