WEST ERIE COUNTY, DWCO Randy Leighton, WCO Brook Tolbert: Conditions: The action continues on Lake Erie for both Walleye and Perch. The word is simply "they're everywhere". Limits after limits are being brought in along with many smiles. Trolling with dipseys is still the ticket. Warm and humid conditions around the area have continued to bring up the Lake temperatures forcing the larger walleye to head for the deeper waters of the trenches. Anglers targeting the deeper waters of the lake are already picking up the occasional Steelhead or Lake Trout. It's hard to imagine that in only a month and a half or so we we should begin to see the steelhead staging at the mouths. Steelhead are being picked up in the deepest waters of the second trench at 78 to 80 feet. Current Lake Erie Water Temperatures as of this writing are 77 degrees off Toledo, 73 degrees off Cleveland, and 76 degrees off Erie Tickets Available for the PA Steelhead Association's "Big Run Banquet" The Pennsylvania Steelhead Association will be holding their annual Big Run Banquet on Saturday September 30th starting at 2:00 PM at the Shades Beach picnic grounds off Route 5 in Northeast.
