  • Bronzebacks, Rainbows, and Walleye - Cleveland Fishing Update for May 7, 2025

    Bronzebacks, Rainbows, and Walleye - Cleveland Fishing Update for May 7, 2025
    May 7 2025
    Fishin' Report for Lake Erie, Cleveland - May 7, 2025

    Hey there, folks! Artificial Lure here with your mid-week fishing update for the Cleveland area.

    We've got some mixed news on the water today. That significant rain the weather folks warned about last week has finally shown up, making river conditions a bit challenging. But don't let that stop you from getting your lines wet!

    The big story continues to be those lake-run smallmouth bass. They're still running strong in the Rocky and Chagrin rivers, though you might want to check the water levels before heading out. These bronzebacks are absolutely hammering medium-sized minnow and shad crankbaits. Olive-colored 3-inch tube jigs have been particularly hot, and don't overlook those Ned rigs if you want consistent action.

    If you're a fly angler, streamer patterns mimicking minnows or gobies are your best bet for these smallies. They've been aggressive, so don't be shy with your retrieves.

    There are still a few steelhead lingering around, though that run is tapering off quickly. Today might be your last good chance at landing the "silver and bronze" combo – that's catching both a steelhead and a smallmouth in the same trip. Now that's a good day on the water!

    For you lake anglers, walleye fishing continues to be productive along the lakefront. The perch bite has been picking up too, with some decent reports coming from Presque Isle Bay. Panfish action is heating up in the shallower, warmer waters.

    Remember that black bass possession is limited to just one fish 18 inches or greater in the Lake Erie zone from May 1 through June 21, so make sure you're measuring those catches.

    As for hot spots, the mouths of tributaries flowing into Lake Erie have been particularly productive for smallmouth. The East Branch of the Rocky River is also worth checking out, especially if you're after those last few steelhead or some of the stocked rainbow trout.

    Wallace Lake and Shadow Lake still have those stocked rainbows, and they're perfect options if the rivers are running too high from the rain.

    Bait-wise, live minnows are always a good choice this time of year, but don't overlook nightcrawlers for those panfish. If you're targeting walleye, crawler harnesses are starting to produce as the water warms up.

    The weather today is on the wet side, but temperatures remain mild, which should keep the fish active. Just remember your rain gear!

    That's all I've got for today, folks. This is Artificial Lure signing off and reminding you that the worst day fishing still beats the best day working! Tight lines!

  • Early May Fishing Report: Smallmouth, Steelhead, and More Biting on Lake Erie and Cleveland Waterways

    Early May Fishing Report: Smallmouth, Steelhead, and More Biting on Lake Erie and Cleveland Waterways
    May 5 2025
    Artificial Lure here with your Lake Erie and Cleveland-area fishing report for Monday, May 5, 2025. We’re heading into a classic early May pattern and things are looking up for anglers all around the North Coast. Let’s break it down.

    First off, weather’s typical spring on the lake—expect temps starting in the high 40s early morning, warming up to the low 60s by afternoon. Skies are mostly overcast with a good chance of some light rain and a steady southwest breeze that'll keep things interesting. Layer up and keep the raincoat handy. Sunrise will be about 6:10 AM and sunset around 8:25 PM, giving you a nice long window on the water.

    There’s no real tidal swing in Lake Erie, but water levels are steady. The recent bump in river flow from rain has the Rocky and Chagrin Rivers in good shape, and water clarity has been fair to decent.

    Now onto the action. Lake-run smallmouth bass are stealing the show right now. Folks are hooking into quality fish both in the lower stretches of Rocky and Chagrin rivers and right off the Cleveland shoreline. Reports are steady for good numbers of 2 to 4-pound smallmouth, with a few pushing 5 pounds landed this week. Productive lures have been olive or goby-pattern tube jigs, Ned rigs, and medium crankbaits. Live minnows on a drop-shot or under a bobber are hard to beat for numbers. Fly folks are doing well with streamer patterns that imitate shiners or gobies.

    Steelhead are just about finishing up for the season in the rivers, but you might find a few late runners in the deeper pools. Anglers are also seeing a mixed bag in the bay—perch, bluegill, and crappie are all waking up as the water warms. Yellow perch bite has been fair, though you’ll need to move around to find them. Try emerald shiners or small artificial minnows just off the bottom.

    If you’re after a multi-species day, give Edgewater Park or the E 72nd Street Marina a shot. Both are proven spring hotspots right now. Rocky River mouth is also producing solid numbers, especially around dawn and dusk.

    Right now, your best bets are
    - Tube jigs in olive, pumpkinseed, or natural goby colors
    - Ned rigs with green pumpkin or brown finesse plastics
    - Medium crankbaits for bass and pike along riprap or rocky points
    - Live emerald shiners for perch, either on a simple drop-shot or spreader rig

    Fishing is picking up fast and should only get better as the water continues to warm. Good luck, keep those lines tight, and I’ll see you out on the water!

  • Lake Erie Fishing Report: Smallmouth Bass, Steelhead, and Walleye Action Heating Up

    Lake Erie Fishing Report: Smallmouth Bass, Steelhead, and Walleye Action Heating Up
    May 4 2025
    Artificial Lure here with your Lake Erie Cleveland area fishing report for Sunday, May 4, 2025.

    We kicked off the day with a calm sunrise at 6:14 AM, and anglers are looking at a sunset at 8:29 PM tonight. Weather is shaping up mild this morning, but heads up, there’s significant rain in the forecast, so I recommend getting lines wet early before the water gets muddy and river levels rise.

    The lakeshore and rivers have been producing well lately. Lake-run smallmouth bass are the main attraction right now, with excellent numbers being reported along the lakefront and into the Rocky and Chagrin rivers. A few stubborn steelhead are still hanging around the stream mouths and lower river stretches—this is the time of year when you might just land the classic “silver and bronze,” meaning both a steelhead and a hefty smallmouth on the same outing. Out on the lake itself, folks targeting walleye have seen mixed results, and you can still find perch and a smattering of panfish if you move around and put in the effort.

    Best bets for smallmouth this week are medium-size minnow or shad crankbaits, spinners, 3-inch olive tube jigs, and Ned rigs. Streamer flies that mimic minnows or gobies have also been hot for both smallmouth and the last steelhead. For the remaining steel, smaller spawn sacs and white jigs tipped with a minnow can get their attention.

    Walleye anglers working the lake after dark or in low light are doing best with stickbaits like Bandits and Husky Jerks in clown or purple patterns. The perch bite has picked up in spots, especially near the Cleveland lighthouse and along the breakwalls; live emerald shiners on spreaders are still the gold standard for those.

    If you’re after trout, the East Branch of the Rocky River and Wallace and Shadow lakes still have fish holding from spring stockings, and dough baits or small spinners are reliable choices.

    For hot spots this week, try the Rocky River mouth for a shot at both smallmouth and the last of the steelhead, or work the E 72nd Street access and Gordon Park along the lakefront for big bass and walleye as the sun sets. Don’t overlook the breakwall edges for perch, especially if you can get your hands on some fresh shiners.

    A quick reminder, from May 1 to June 21, bass possession on Lake Erie is limited to one fish over 18 inches, so practice selective harvest and enjoy the action.

    That’s the word from the water for today. Grab your rain gear, get out there, and tight lines to all.
