Lake Erie Fishing Report: April 17, 2003 Walleye fishing in the Sandusky and Maumee Rivers is quickly coming to an end with fish still being caught in both rivers. However, anglers can still catch male walleyes as they typically remain on the spawning grounds for sometime after spawning. Anglers fishing in the Professional Walleye Trail caught quite a few fish earlier in the week with a majority of them being females that had spawned earlier in the month. The fishing forecast for walleye should improve in the lake as the fish leave the spawning grounds in search of food. Steelhead fishing in the tributary rivers is beginning to wind down for season, however, angler can still target these fish in the mouths of rivers and as they move out into the lake.
