Fishing Report

Mantua is about the same as last week. DEQ's algae warning from October 1 still hasn't been lifted that we've seen, so keep the dogs out. Storms are moving through today.

The weeds are dying back and the fish are sliding to the outside edges. Largemouth are on the deeper weed lines and docks, with bluegill and perch in what's left of the weeds. Afternoons beat mornings now. No fresh catch reports this week.

Hot Species

Selected by the Anglers Den team

Largemouth Bass

An ambush predator commonly found near vegetation, submerged wood and protected shoreline cover. Largemouth readily strike soft plastics, jigs and reaction baits.

Bluegill

A common panfish found near vegetation, docks and shallow cover. Bluegill readily take small flies, jigs and soft plastics and provide excellent light-tackle fishing.

Yellow Perch

A schooling fish recognized by its yellow body and dark vertical bars. Yellow perch feed around vegetation and bottom structure and readily take small jigs and bait.

Rainbow Trout

A widely stocked and naturally reproducing trout known for aggressive feeding, strong runs and its distinctive pink lateral stripe.

Smallmouth Bass

A hard-fighting warm-water predator commonly found around rocky shorelines, points and drop-offs. Smallmouth readily strike soft plastics, crankbaits and streamers.

Walleye

A low-light predator commonly found near rocky points, drop-offs and deeper structure. Walleye are often targeted with jigs, crankbaits and slowly trolled presentations.
