Elyria native wins Federal Duck Stamp for third time: NE Ohio fishing report

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Waterfowl artists have flourished in Ohio over the years, but none have matched the talent and success of Elyria native Adam Grimm, 46. He won an unprecedented third Federal Duck Stamp Contest this week, topping 239 entries in the 2024 edition of the prestigious event.

All waterfowl hunters in the U.S. are required to purchase the Federal stamp, which debuts in 2025. Ohio hunters must also buy an Ohio Wetland Stamp, a stamp art contest Grimm won in 2005, 2014 and 2021.

Grimm, who lives in Wallace, South Dakota, with his wife Janet and four children, returns to the Cleveland area to visit friends, family and fellow waterfowl hunters and attend the Ohio Decoy Carvers and Collectors Show in the Cleveland area each March, which he still calls his “hometown art show.” Restored Northwest Ohio wetlands honoring him include the Adam Grimm Marsh on the Sandusky Bay shoreline and the Adam Grimm Prairie wetlands at the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge on the shores of Lake Erie.

Duck hunting begins

The regular waterfowl hunting seasons begin in Ohio on Saturday, Oct. 12, in the Lake Erie Marsh Zone. The North and South waterfowl hunting zones begin Saturday, Oct. 19. For details visit wildohio.gov.

Anglers wary of weekend weather

Meteorologist Ross Ellet in Toledo doesn’t have good news a fun weekend of fishing is coming up on Lake Erie. After looking at the path of Hurricane Helene, which was expected to hit the Big Bend area of the Florida Coast last night, Ellet forecast strong Helene winds will make it to Ohio, pushing Lake Erie winds and waves from Buffalo to Toledo. Gusts could be near 50 miles per hour over open water, boosting waters levels and creating waves near 10 feet in the Western Basin.

Steelhead trout anglers optimistic

The rain, no matter how slight, and the cooler weather along the Lake Erie shoreline has given the steelhead trout fishing a boost. Anglers casting heavy spoons around Cleveland Harbor have reported excellent catches with Little Cleo and KO Wobbler spoons, or with in-line spinners like the Rooster Tail and Vibrax.

Trout are also moving into the harbor areas along the Lake Erie shoreline, and rising waters and cool rains should give them an urge to head into the lower stretches of the Rocky, Chagrin and Grand rivers.

The 30th Steelhead Expo is Saturday

The sponsoring Ohio Central Basin Steelheaders and the Cleveland Metroparks are proud of the longevity of the popular free Steelhead Expo, which returns to the Rocky River Nature Center, 24000 Valley Pkwy., North Olmsted. The fishing show is from 9 a.m.-3 p.m.

Fishing vendors at the show include: Cast Crew Outdoors, Chagrin River Outfitters, Cleveland Fishing Company, Dunkin’ Down Floats, FishUSA, Furball Baits, Lake Erie Kayak Fishing with Chuck Earls, Lamiglas Fishing Rods, Orvis Crocker Park, River Roe, Steelhead Manifesto, Steelhead Stuff and VooDoo Custom Tackle.

They will be joined by a variety of conservation groups and fishing clubs. Be sure to buy Ohio Central Basin Steelheads raffle tickets, which help support Cleveland Metroparks fishing events. The drawing will be held after the show closes. There will be eight steelhead trout seminars during the show, from advanced jig fishing to spey fishing, float fishing and fly tying.

Fish the Cleveland Metroparks

The public lakes around the Cleveland Metroparks are giving up some game fish right now, including catfish, largemouth bass and bluegills at Wallace, Ledge and Shadow lakes and Beyer’s Pond.

The Ohio & Erie Canal reservation ponds will be stocked with rainbow trout and channel catfish in a couple of weeks to get ready for the Family Fishing Fest on Saturday, Oct. 12 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. A limited number of loaner fishing rods will be available, and there will be prizes for big fish caught by kids 15 and under.

Griffins’ offense goes quiet in low-scoring affair against Cleveland

Griffins’ offense goes quiet in low-scoring affair against Cleveland

CLEVELAND, OH — While the Grand Rapids Griffins didn’t give up much to their opponent on Sunday night, they didn’t produce a whole lot either to finish up their extended weekend.

In their first meeting with the Cleveland Monsters, the Griffins were not able to generate a ton of offense, leading to a 3-1 defeat, the team’s third loss in a row.

The Griffins fell behind the Columbus Blue Jackets’ American Hockey League affiliate early on, as Roman Ahcan beat Grand Rapids goaltender Sebastian Cossa for his sixth goal of the season just over four minutes into the contest.

However, a great play by two of the Detroit Red Wings’ prospects leveled the score just past the halfway mark of the frame. First-year Griffin Jakub Rychlovsky made a nice pass to Amadeus Lombardi, who made a great play to get around Monster netminder Zach Sawchenko to pot his fifth of the campaign.

Elmer Soderblom was awarded the secondary assist on the goal, his first of the season.

Unfortunately for GR, they wouldn’t be able to keep the game tied for long, as Ahcan was able to sneak a shot over Cossa with just over a minute to play in the first.

Grand Rapids had a couple of chances in the middle stanza, putting nine shots on goal. Yet, they could not find the equalizer. Things didn’t get any better for the Griffins in the final 20 minutes. While they attempted to create some scoring chances, they were only to put three shots on goal in the third period. Owen Sillinger put the icing on the cake with an empty-net goal in the final minute to give the Monsters the win.

The Monsters have beaten Grand Rapids in seven of the last nine meetings.

The Griffins were outshot 26-18 by Cleveland on Sunday, including 12-3 in the final frame. In 10 games this season, Grand Rapids has ended up on the wrong end of the shot counter every time. Cossa did all he could to give his team a chance, making 23 stops in his third regulation defeat of the campaign. Sawchenko, who had to be sharp when called upon, registered just his second win of the young season, turning away 17 shots.

Each team had a pair of chances on the power play, with both the Griffins and the Monsters coming up empty on the man advantage.

Grand Rapids (6-3-1-0) still holds the second-best winning percentage in the Central Division (.650), trailing the Milwaukee Admirals. Cleveland (4-3-0-1) is fifth among teams in the North with a .563 winning percentage.

LOOKING AHEAD

The Griffins go back on the road for a couple of matchups against divisional rivals, beginning on Thursday against the Iowa Wild in their annual School Day Game.

The Wild (3- 6-1-0) struggled in the early going, losing each of their first seven games of the season, finally snapping their losing skid last Tuesday against the Chicago Wolves. They have now won each of their last three after sweeping the San Jose Barracuda this weekend.

Thursday morning will mark the first of eight matchups between Iowa and Grand Rapids this year. The Griffins took seven of the eight meetings in 2023-24.

UPCOMING SCHEDULE (Home games in BOLD)

Thursday, Nov. 7 @ Iowa Wild (11:30 a.m. ET)
Friday, Nov. 8 @ Rockford IceHogs (8 p.m. ET)
Wednesday, Nov. 13 vs. Rockford IceHogs (11 a.m. ET)
Friday, Nov. 15 vs. Chicago Wolves (7 p.m. ET)
Saturday, Nov. 16 @ Milwaukee Admirals (7 p.m. ET)
