Rainbow Trout
Geneva-on-the-Lake offers a unique opportunity to target Rainbow Trout in the tributaries that feed into Lake Erie. While Lake Erie itself holds trout, the smaller streams provide a more intimate and challenging angling experience. The best time to target these fish is during the fall and spring spawning runs when they migrate upstream. Fall offers the added bonus of beautiful foliage. A local tip: focus on areas with deeper pools and current breaks. Public access can be limited, so be sure to research stream access points beforehand. Consider using light spinning tackle or fly fishing gear with egg patterns or small streamers. These Lake Erie strain rainbows are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs, making for an exciting day on the water. Be mindful of water levels, as heavy rains can quickly make streams unfishable.
