Fishing near Cleveland, OH

Sitting in Cuyahoga County along more than 20 miles of Lake Erie shoreline, Cleveland anchors one of the largest freshwater fisheries in the world. Lake Erie — the warmest, shallowest, and most productive of the Great Lakes with 107 species of fish — earns its title as the Walleye Capital of the World, and the city's breakwalls and harbors form a premier urban walleye fishery. Inland, the Rocky, Chagrin, Grand, and Cuyahoga rivers make up Ohio's Steelhead Alley.
