Lake Erie is known for it's world-class walleye fishing opportunities and that reputation is expected to continue in 2022, according to a season outlook from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife.
Anglers looking to hit the water and reel in their catches this season are expected to see why Lake Erie has earned the title of Walleye Capital of the World, with an"exceptional" consistent hatch rate over the past eight years.
Younger fish are also expected to be frequently caught, but are encouraged to be released if they are under 15 inches to continue supplying future fishery. ODNR said that poor hatch rates over the past 10 years has caused low populations of yellow perch in Lake Erie's central zone between Huron and Fairport Harbor, and is only slightly better in the east zone between Fairport Harbor and Conneaut.
Anglers hoping to bring home some yellow perch may find their best shot between July and August when the water is the warmest, and again in the late fall when adult perch congregate near harbors in larger populations.
