Winter fishing along Lake Erie thrives despite ice
Ohio Department of Natural Resources notes warm lake discharges keep open holes for white bass perch walleye salmon and trout in mid winter. Creel surveys show January strong for salmon steelhead and trout near Eastlake and other access points. Live baits and drift near discharge flows attract many fish, with power plants at Avon Lake Eastlake 72nd Street Cleveland and Ashtabula cited as open-water spots.

Lead shot bans eyed to protect eagles and waterfowl
The US Fish and Wildlife Service plans new moves this month toward phasing out lead shot for waterfowl. Proposals include establishing steel shot zones to protect eagles and other birds of prey, with criteria for zone creation and input on 95 counties. The move follows years of research and shifting federal stance, as states like Nebraska push bans and more regions consider similar measures.
