Those looking for a unique fishing destination with a plentiful supply of game fish should plan a trip to Lake Erie. The total number of fish caught here each year add up to approximately 1.5 million. Many anglers head here for the lake’s world-class steelhead, but you can also catch bass, walleye, yellow perch, crappie, and bluegill in these waters. Field and Stream has named Lake Erie as one of the top-20 family-fishing spots in the nation. If you decide to bring the whole family, note that anyone aged 16 or older will require a fishing license.
