Cleveland Winter Trout Fishing Tips

Steelhead trout fishing has been shut down on Cleveland's local rivers and streams in Ohio due to ice cover. But trout fishing remains good elsewhere.

Cleveland Metropark lakes continue to be one of best places in the Cleveland area to catch trout right now. These lakes have been recently stocked and more stockings are expected soon.
Wallace and Shadow lakes have been providing the best fishing, although trout have also been released at Ranger, Judge and Ledge lakes.

Try using 4 lb test line rigged with a split shot and small float. Small hooks or ice jigs tipped with PowerBait, wax worms, maggots, salmon eggs, and small minnows have been working really well.

Winter Speckled Trout Tips

Speckled trout fishing in Florida continues to be good this winter. Deeper holes next to grass flats in the mouths of residential canals continues to offer good winter trout action.

The key to catching specks in the winter, according to Captain Dave Walker, is to slow things down. Shrimp-style artificial baits or live shrimp from bait shops have a proven record of success. Fishing on the bottom around docs or other structures can be rewarding.
