Well the long wait is over , we saw our first walleye come out of the river yesterday . Ft Meigs  6.4 lbs–a very nice fish. We saw a few more come out through out  the day  as well. They have been moving our way since the warm up a few days ago.  When the water is running a little high like it is today , try a few short casts. The fish get tired from the long swim upstream against the current so they will lay up against the bank for a rest. Short cast just 20-25 ft off the bank and aim to get your drift into a little eddy or slack water , sometimes these early runners group up in these areas for a rest.

Ft Meigs, White street, Sidecut park, Davis Overlook and the Towpath are  accessible today.

Have fun , be safe and good luck fishing.
