Buckeye State anglers are lucky. There are so many great fishing holes in Ohio that the biggest problem an angler has is figuring out where to spend his limited fishing hours. Lake Erie offers world-class fishing for smallmouth bass, walleyes, trout and salmon.

The state's many rugged river systems are teeming with hard-hitting bass, muskellunge, saugeyes and trout. Inland lakes and ponds offer four-season opportunities for all those species plus catfish, panfish and more.

Here's a roundup of some of the best waters to try in 2010 for memorable fishing expeditions:

JANUARY
Walleyes: Berlin Lake
This 3,321-acre lake in Portage, Mahoning and Stark counties is a popular destination for hardwater anglers targeting walleyes. Ice-fishing with jigs and blade lures tipped with minnows leads to walleye success here. The lake is also home to other popular species, including largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, muskellunge and crappies.

Check DeLorme's Ohio Atlas and Gazetteer, Map 42, for details.

White Bass: Findlay Reservoir No. 2
This 643-acre hardwater destination in Hancock County offers excellent opportunities for white bass ranging from 12 to 15 inches. Findlay No. 2 is also home to good numbers of walleyes, yellow perch and white crappies.

Check DeLorme's OAG, Map 36, for more information.

Muskellunge: Leesville Lake
This 1,045-acre lake in Carroll County is the leading lake in the Buckeye State for numbers of muskellunge caught. Better yet, according to angler surveys, 99 percent of the fish caught are released for other anglers to enjoy!

Leesville Lake is also home to saugeyes, walleyes, largemouth bass and channel catfish.

To get there, take Deer Road from Route 212 south of Sherrodsville.

FEBRUARY
Saugeyes: Lake Logan
This 333-acre lake is within Lake Logan State Park in Falls Township about three miles west of Logan. Saugeye fishing is best here winter, spring and fall when waters are cooler. Twistertail jigs tipped with live bait or stick baits fished slowly near the surface will produce saugeye strikes. The lake also offers plenty of opportunities for anglers to catch catfish, muskellunge and crappies.

Access is off Lake Logan Road via State Route 664.

Yellow Perch: Lake Erie
Yellow perch are plentiful in Lake Erie, most ranging from 7 to 13 inches. The central basin tends to give up larger yellow perch than other locations. Lake Erie is also home to smallmouth bass, steelhead (primarily in tributaries), walleyes and white bass. Anglers can also expect to catch largemouth bass, plenty of panfish and the occasional northern pike or muskellunge.

The best action is along the lake's shoreline. The lake remains open at its center pretty much year 'round.

Check DeLorme's OAG, maps 28, 31, 32, 33, 38 and 40, for access details.

Saugeyes: Lake LeComte
This 133-acre lake in Hancock County is known for its excellent population of saugeyes ranging up to 25 inches long. The saugeye action should continue to improve as the 19,566 fingerlings stocked here reach maturity.

The lake is also home to good numbers of yellow perch, crappies and largemouth bass.

MARCH
Walleyes: Sandusky River
The best times to fish for walleyes in downtown Fremont is from late March through early April. Use twistertail jigs and doll flies.

The majority of the catch each year consists of males averaging 20 inches in length. A variety of year-classes are available, dating back to the late 1980s in the case of some 30-inch whoppers.

The Sandusky, which flows through Sandusky and Seneca counties, is also a good destination for smallmouth bass, white bass and crappies. Check DeLorme's OAG, maps 37 and 38.
