Ohio Fishing Report – Feb. 20, 2020

The fishing outlook for Lake Erie continues to show boating anglers catching limits of walleyes in the Western Basin through the Central Basin all the way to Cleveland. On inland lakes, anglers are doing well on crappies and yellow perch in places.

LAKE PROFILES

Michigan Lake Profile – Ross Lake, Gladwin County

Ross Lake serves up a mixed bag of angling opportunities ranging from perch, bluegills and sunfish to largemouth bass, northern pike and catfish. And don’t forget about those crappies – mostly blacks, but a few whites, too.

Ohio Lake Profile – Van Wert Reservoirs, Van Wert County

Both reservoirs are stocked with yellow perch and channel catfish, and No. 1 gets hit every year with a slug of rainbow trout.

Pennsylvania Woods & Waters – Yellow Creek Lake, Indiana County

Yellow Creek Lake’s largemouth and smallmouth bass, black and white crappies, northern pike – and even the occasional 40-plus-inch muskie – offer nice fishing.
