Walleye boom sustains Lake Erie's northwest Ohio economy
Port Clinton reports walleye drives a 1.3 billion dollar sportfishing industry in Ohio waters. The fish fetches 15 to 18 dollars per pound, supports nearly 700 charter boats, and draws anglers from across the region. Experts cite historic rises and falls due to pollution, dam construction, and Clean Water Act recovery, with a strong 2003 and 2015 hatch fueling current optimism for ongoing gains.
