Perch
Yellow perch fishing near Toledo is a popular pastime, particularly in the western basin of Lake Erie. Known for its large perch population, the area offers excellent opportunities for both novice and experienced anglers. The late summer and fall months are generally considered the best time to target perch, as they school up in larger numbers and move into shallower waters. Look for them around rocky reefs, submerged structures, and areas with moderate weed growth. Small minnows, spreaders, and ice fishing jigs are common and effective presentations. A local tip is to use a depth finder to locate schools of perch before dropping your lines. Several party boats and charter services operate out of Toledo, providing access to prime perch fishing locations. Be aware of daily bag limits and size restrictions, as these are strictly enforced. The perch in Lake Erie are known for their excellent taste, making them a highly sought-after species.
