Maumee River

Well as we have had lower than average rainfall since June the river has been low all summer and fall- we need this rain coming our way today. Regardless the river fishing has been good, there is even a good number of yellow perch up this far in the river the last week or so- biting on minnows fished near the bottom.

A few walleye being caught as well.

Minnow situation-As most regular anglers know it has been tough to get Lake Erie Emerald Shiners for bait over the last few years, and this season was no different . Right now we are fully stocked with emerald shiners, and I am feeling pretty confident that we should be supplied with them the rest of the year and on into ice season.

Custom Maumee Tackle Rods: I have added the new rods to the web site so they are now able to be ordered online.
