Western Basin Walleye The best walleye fishing has been in the area near the US/Canada border south of Middle Sister Island to "G" can, and from Middle Sister Island to the Turnaround buoy of the Toledo shipping channel. Drifting mayfly rigs and trolling spoons or worm harnesses produce the most fish. Walleye hatched in 2003 (ranging in size from 5 to 10 inches) are already being caught. Please handle these sub-legal fish as gently as possible and quickly return them to the water. Yellow Perch Yellow perch fishing has been best at the Kelleys Island airport reef and around Ballast Island. Fish just off the bottom using perch spreaders tipped with shiners. Smallmouth Bass The best smallmouth bass fishing has been around the Bass Islands, Kelleys Island and Sandusky Bay.
