Brown Trout
While Put-in-Bay, Ohio, is better known for its walleye and bass, dedicated anglers can find opportunities for brown trout, though they are not abundant. The deeper waters of Lake Erie surrounding the island can hold browns, particularly during the colder months. Trolling is the most effective method, using spoons or crankbaits that mimic baitfish. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, as the browns move closer to shore in search of cooler water and prey. A local tip: pay close attention to water temperature and clarity. Browns prefer cooler, clearer water, so target areas where these conditions are present. Downriggers or lead core line can be essential for getting your lures down to the depths where the trout are holding. Browns in Lake Erie can be quite large, often exceeding five pounds, making for a rewarding catch. Be sure to consult the Ohio Department of Natural Resources fishing regulations for Lake Erie, as they may have specific rules regarding trout fishing.
