About the data

Pilot · Ohio · 2026–27 season

Important. This is a pilot, not an official source and not legal advice. Rules can change, including by emergency order. Before hunting or fishing, check the official ODNR document via the “source” link. Records were compiled by hand from the PDF text (no LLM API). “Verified” means only: the quote was found verbatim on the cited page and the number matches the quote.

Lake Erie zone map

From the ODNR PDFs: zone lines at meridians 82°30′ and 81°20′ W; perch limits 30 / 10 / 20 (Lake Erie limits PDF; the booklet diagram labels Huron Pier Lighthouse and Fairport Harbor Lighthouse).
Not from the PDFs, looked up separately: coordinates of Huron Harbor Light (41.4046°N, 82.5438°W) and Fairport Harbor West Breakwater Light (41.7679°N, 81.2812°W) — Wikipedia, USBeacons, US Coast Guard; direction of the Ohio–Michigan line (N 45° E from Turtle Island, US Supreme Court, Michigan v. Ohio, 1973); the shoreline and the international border are drawn approximately (schematic). Lighthouses are shown only as landmarks: the zone lines follow the meridians from the PDF, not the lighthouses (Huron ≈ 82°32.6′, Fairport ≈ 81°16.9′). The zone is determined by longitude only. The default marker position (near Port Clinton, West zone) is a placeholder, not a recommendation.
