Latest Maumee River Report

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009
 

MAUMEE RIVER

SANDUSKY RIVER 

WATER CONDITIONS

Temp: 52°F

Level:   The river is slightly above normal.  It was dropping all weekend and it just dropped down to where anglers could cross over to Blue Grass Island this morning. Be CAUTIOUS the river will be coming back up today.  It is already rising at Defiance. 
Fishing Effort: high

 Temp: 52°F

Level: The Sandusky River was up several feet at the end of last week.  The rise in the river brought more walleye up the river.  The river is receding and near normal today. 
Fishing Effort: moderate

FISH BEING CAUGHT

 

 Walleye fishing this weekend was EXCELLENT..  Many limits were caught, most anglers caught at least two walleye.  Several large female walleye were caught this weekend.  Anglers have also been catching several walleye smaller than the 15-inch minimum length limit.  So you may want to have a ruler available.  Be cautious do not keep walleye shorter than 15-inches.   

 Walleye fishing over the weekend was better.  With the river level dropping, and the warmer water temperatures, there were some limits of walleye caught over the weekend.  Many anglers caught one or two walleye. 

BEST BAITS

 

 The best bait to catch walleye are floating jig heads tied about 18-24 inches above a weight.  The amount of weight depends on the amount of flow. At low flow try
3/8 oz weight; at high flow try
3/4 0z weight.
Tip the jig with a brightly colored plastic tail–pink, green, yellow–fluorescent colors seem to work the best.		 The best bait to catch walleye are floating jig heads tied about 18-24 inches above a weight.  The amount of weight depends on the amount of flow. At low flow try

BEST LOCATIONS

 

 The best areas over the weekend were from Fort Meigs up to Jerome Road.  The Button Wood and Side Cut Park Areas were very crowded but very good fishing. 

The best locations over the weekend were form the bike trail to Rodger Young or Walsh Parks.  

Some walleye were also caught between the two bridges.   

OUTLOOK

 

 Outlook for this week is EXCELLENT!  Fishing may slow down a little today as the river rises, but it should still be good. And, excellent the rest of the week as the river starts back down again. 

Fishing for walleye will most likely slow down after this week.  We are starting to see some white bass being caught.  One angler caught 15 white bass yesterday. 

COMMENTS

 

 Walleye fishing should be very good for another couple of weeks.  We did see a few white bass in the river this weekend. White bass fishing should start to pick up by next weekend.
