Why Choose Lake Erie?

Lake Erie is the eleventh largest lake globally by surface area and the fourth largest of the Great Lakes in the United States. Despite being the smallest by volume, it boasts a remarkable breadth of 57 miles at its widest point and a depth of 210 feet at its deepest. The lake's shallowness and warmer temperatures make it the most biologically productive of all the Great Lakes, offering an abundance of game fish such as walleye, bass, yellow perch, bluegill, crappie, and steelhead.

Fishing Highlights:

- Walleye Fishing: Renowned as the walleye sport fishing capital of the world, Lake Erie provides prime walleye fishing from June to September, with trophy-sized catches being common.

- Bass Fishing: Lake Erie's bass season runs from late April through August. The Presque Isle Bay is a hotspot for smallmouth bass, especially during their spawning season in early summer.

- Lake Trout: Active from April, with May being the best month for lake trout fishing charters. Popular spots include Walnut Creek, Elk Creek, and the mouth of Trout Run.
