Lake Erie at its finest!! Erie, Pa

Free cancellation
Welcome to Old Timer Fishing Charters. We are a full service fishing charter that operates out of Erie Pennsylvania. There is nothing like fishing Lake Erie for walleye, steelhead, and lake trout. I run the Old Timer Charter service on Lake Erie simply because I have been fishing it most of my life. Book early for a prime date for the best early fishing anywhere. Lake trout trips start in April and spring walleye trips start the beginning of May. We offer both night time and day time trips.

There is nothing like fishing Lake Erie for walleye, steelhead, and lake trout. I run the Old Timer Charter service on Lake Erie simply because I have been fishing it most of my life and it's become and addiction for me. Every day is different when your on the water and as soon as you think you have everything figured out the fish or the weather will change things up on you. I do my best every day to try and put you on the fish and keep you on the fish throughout your trip. If something isn't working we'll switch things out until we find something that the fish want.
