Walleye: Very good fishing has been reported 70-72’ NE of Ashtabula and 70-72’ N of Conneaut. Anglers are using wireline, dipsy divers with red, gold, silver, black, copper and purple spoons and stick baits. Fair fishing has been reported around the Sandbar near Vermilion and Lorain. Spoons and harnesses produce best.

Yellow perch fishing has been fair off of the condos between Vermilion and Beaver Creek. Excellent fishing has been reported 44-48’ of N-NE of Gordon Park, 42-48’ NW of Chagrin River, 44-50’ NW of Fairport and 42-50' N-NW of Ashtabula. Perch spreaders with shiners fished on the bottom produces the most fish. Anglers have been using golden shiners when emerald shiners are not available. Shore fishing off the Mentor Headlands breakwall and Fairport Pier has been spotty. Mornings and evenings have been best.
