The Maumee river is at down to right around average level this morning. We’re seeing a lot of walleye being caught still. In my opinion That river is full to the brim with spawning walleye. We saw a some big females brought up to the shop yesterday.

Farnsworth and Bend view metro parks are great, lightly used public access sites  on the river, go explore and give it a try.

Hope everyone had a great Easter holiday. Yesterday morning was slow ,midday was ok and then the evening bite turned on good. less than an hour limits. These cold nights are keeping the river from warming too quickly. 

Keep smiling ,grab some pals and take em fishing..its good for the soul.
