I’m familiar with the famous walleye run in the Maumee river, are there any notable runs closer to the Cleveland area ??

The Sandusky river is known to have a decent run. I believe any of the major rivers get some type of run. I fish the Rocky and around the Cuyahoga a lot and I wouldn’t consider what they get a huge run but they do stack up some. Think the Rocky gets to shallow to fast. Hope someone who knows more will chime in.

I always look for the shallow part of any river I fish, when fishing for walleyes, except when trolling for them, and I do troll in some water as shallow as 4’

Sandusky River Walleye run is probably the best choice of any. I fished that run for over 40 years and there is a two week window. I was going to give you the bait shop number I always used however, I called there and phone is disconnected. Probably closed down. Google may help you find a bait shop. I always fished north of the downtown Fremont bridge. If you can catch the run in the first day or two you might be able to fish. So many people. It’s literally elbow to elbow if you don’t find out when the first fish are caught. After a day or two, it’s terrible. Be sure you have you fishing license and chest waders. I would highly recommend wearing wrap around saftey glasses. Every year people are rushed to the ER with hooks in their eyes arms and head. Be careful if you do fish in the big crowds. People now a days have no common sense nor do they care for their fellow fisherman. There are some remote spots but they are difficult to get to and far and few between. If you go too far north there will be so many small boats you have no water to cast into. Best bet is determine the run very early.
