PFBC fishing report for Oct. 1
The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission’s Erie County fishing report for Oct. 1, provided by West Erie County deputy waterways conservation officer Randy Leighton and waterways conservation officer Brook Tolbert:
Little to no rain has continued to leave area tribs very low and clear and down to a trickle in some of the upper stretches. The fish that have moved in are in a holding pattern with little movement south of Route 5. A good number of fish have been coming in in the early morning hours and at sunset allowing fair to good steelhead fishing along the wall at Walnut Creek, from the Elk Creek Access north to the lake, and along the shorelines at Trout and Godfrey Runs. Wind and waves have kept the water levels of the tribs fairly good near the mouths. Catches along the wall at Walnut Creek were good this past weekend with fish in the 7- to 10-pound range. Nighttime temperatures have been getting cooler and with some much needed precipitation, we should see additional steelhead movement. Forecasts for the week are calling for up to a 50 percent chance of rain and nighttime temperatures dipping into the 40’s.
Perch fishing is still good to excellent north of Walnut Creek. Walleye fishing, although still fair, has begun to fall off as is typical this time of year.
Current Lake Erie water temperature is 66 degrees off Toledo, 68 degrees off Cleveland, and 67 degrees off the Port of Erie. Current West County trib conditions as of this writing are extremely low and very clear with very little flow.
