In this episode, we’ll chat with Travis Hartman and Matt Faust, ODNR fisheries biologists who work out of the Sandusky Fisheries Research Station. The pair, along with other staff in Sandusky and Fairport Harbor, monitor and manage Lake Erie fish populations and health including the two most popular fish, walleye and yellow perch

Managing Walleye & Yellow Perch Populations

Touchstone Award Winner – Podcast 2025  Lake Effect is a journey through all things Lake Erie, its tributaries and near-shore realms. The Great Lakes are the largest body of fresh water on earth and while Lake Erie is the second-smallest and most shallow lake with just two percent of the Great Lakes’ water, it holds 90 percent of the biomass (fish and other living things). We’ll visit scientists, anglers, charter captains, farmers, tourism officials, boat-restorers, historians and a host of others who have an affinity for the lake through either proximity, work or a simple love of the greatest Great Lake.
