*Lake Erie surface temperatures are around 40 degrees. Be sure to check the latest marine forecast for up-to-date lake conditions.*Recent weather conditions have limited fishing opportunities. Walleye: Walleye have been caught between Huron and Vermilion when conditions have allowed. Walleye from 18" to over 30" were caught on crankbaits trolled behind planer boards. Steelhead: Steelhead fishing was good during the past week. On the Vermilion River fish were caught north of the route 2 bridge. On the Grand River, anglers are catching fish from the short pier in Fairport up to Harpersfield dam. Best locations have been from the lower sections of the Grand around the uniroyal hole, pipe bridge and Rt 84. On the Chagrin River, anglers are catching fish at Chagrin River Park. Rivers are rising slightly due to snowmelt and some rainfall. Check with local bait shops for up-to-date river conditions. The steelhead have ranged in size from 16 to 28". Anglers are primarily using egg (spawn) sacks, but small spoons and jig and maggots are also being used.
