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.
CLEVELAND — Thousands of people braved the cold in downtown Cleveland for the third wave of “No Kings Day” demonstrations against the Trump administration.
This time, protestors said, the stakes are higher than ever.
Community members and activists joined at the Free Stamp in Willard Park and marched alongside Lakeside Avenue and around Cleveland Public Square on Saturday. Demonstrators said they’re rallying against the Trump administration’s escalation of federal immigration enforcement tactics and rocky global economy amid the country’s war with Iran.

U.S. Military Veteran Fidel Swain said he’s marching for the rights of all Americans.
“We’re really concerned with what’s going on in the country today as far as this current administration,” Swain said. “They all seem to not follow the principles and ideas of the working class and just most Americans, which is law, order.”
Northeast Ohio resident Charlotte Hartman also stood among the crowd of demonstrators. She said she attended the two previous No Kings Day protests in Strongsville.
Today, Hartman said, she’s standing in solidarity with all marginalized groups.

“The way he treats people and minorities, the way he treats handicapped people … They don’t seem to be any care or concern for anybody,” Hartman said.
Hartman was joined by Elaine Wheaton, who said she hopes the demonstration will help unite Americans, despite ideological differences.
“We’re hoping that some of the people that voted for Trump before might be changing their mind,” Wheaton said. “He’s getting a little too overboard … I have no problem with Republican presidents like Reagan or Bush or whatever, but it’s not that he’s Republican. It’s just that he’s a bad human.”
The White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson sent a statement to Spectrum News dismissing Saturday’s protest. She wrote, “The only people who care about these Trump Derangement Therapy Sessions are the reporters who are paid to cover them.”
The first No Kings Day protest in June included around 5 million participants, while the second event in the fall drew in around 7 million people.
While speaking about the No Kings Day protests in October, Trump told Fox business that he’s “not a king.”
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – Protests against President Donald Trump’s administration are scheduled across the country Saturday, including in Northeast Ohio.
Events are happening around the region, with the largest turnout expected in downtown Cleveland.
Cindy Demsey, a co-organizer of the event, emphasized the rally’s purpose: “No Kings rallies in Cleveland and around the country demonstrate that We The People support an immediate end to foreign wars, ICE’s terror tactics, the administration’s unconstitutional power grab, covering up evidence of crimes against children and government for billionaires.”
The rally is set to begin at 1:00 PM at the Free Stamp next to City Hall on Lakeside Avenue and East 9th Street.
Back in October, thousands gathered downtown, and the events featured musical performances and various speakers before a march.
When a demonstration took place this past summer, Cleveland police estimated about 5,000 people were in attendance.
That event was mostly peaceful, with one person arrested for disorderly conduct.

The Cleveland Cavaliers host the Miami Heat on Friday night, in the second game of a back-to-back between these Eastern Conference rivals.
The Miami Heat go for their 40th win of the season and the series victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers on the road on Friday. This is the second game of a back-to-back for these teams, fighting for positioning in the Eastern Conference standings. Both of these games will be played in Cleveland, with the Heat pulling off the upset in Game 1 on Wednesday, winning 120-103. The win ended Miami’s five-game losing streak, and the loss ended the Cavaliers’ four-game winning streak. The win gave the Heat a 2-1 series lead, with Friday’s game serving as the finale. Miami is back in the eighth seed, but is only a half-game above the Charlotte Hornets and Orlando Magic. Cleveland is sitting comfortably in fourth place, but is three games back of the New York Knicks for third. The biggest name sitting out of this rematch is Jarrett Allen, who is dealing with a knee injury but is expected to return on Friday. The Cavaliers should be the favorite at home to tie this season series at two games apiece in this rematch.
