À propos de cet audio
Let me tell ya, we're right in the sweet spot of spring fishing around these parts. The rivers are running a bit muddy after that rain we had last week, but they should be clearing up nicely for you today. The weather's shaping up to be decent, so no excuses to stay off the water!
The absolute highlight right now is the spectacular lake-run smallmouth bass fishing. These bronzebacks are moving in strong numbers, especially in the Rocky and Chagrin rivers. They've been hitting medium-sized minnow and shad crankbaits like they're going out of style. If you want to mix it up, olive-colored 3-inch tube jigs and Ned rigs have been producing consistently. Fly anglers, don't feel left out - streamer patterns that mimic minnows or gobies are getting solid action too.
There are still a few late-season steelhead hanging around, but that run is tapering off quickly. If you're looking to hit the "silver and bronze" combo (landing both a steelhead and smallmouth in one outing), focus on the deeper pools in the lower sections of our tributaries.
Walleye action along the lakefront has been heating up nicely. Early morning and evening hours are your best bet, with crawler harnesses and deep-diving crankbaits doing the trick.
For you trout enthusiasts, Wallace Lake and Shadow Lake still have good numbers of stocked rainbows. Remember your limits: 3 trout daily at Wallace, 5 at Shadow Lake. PowerBait on a bare hook about 18 inches from a bottom sinker is hard to beat, but small jigs tipped with maggots or waxworms under a float are working great too.
Hot spots this week: The bridges crossing the East Branch of the Rocky River have been particularly productive for smallmouth. The area around Wildwood Marina is giving up some nice walleye. And if you're shore fishing, the breakwall at Edgewater Park never disappoints.
Just a quick reminder that the water is still a bit chilly, so those fish might be a tad sluggish in the early morning. Give them time to warm up with the day, and you'll see the bite improve.
That's all I've got for today, folks. Get out there while the getting's good, and remember: a bad day fishing still beats a good day at the office! This is Artificial Lure signing off until next time. Tight lines!
