Fishing Conditions Improve After Heavy Rain Across Rivers
Rivers in the region are returning to normal levels after recent heavy rain with water clarity improving. Anglers are advised to use small single blade spinners with bucktail on a treble hook and focus on rocky areas in two feet of water. Wild life division notes bluegills at Spencer Lake and largemouth bass at Findley Lake. Lake Erie reports white bass at Avon Lake and various bass and perch catches near Veron and Mitawanga. Drift fishing with large minnows and musky gear may be effective as waters settle.
