RIVER CONDITIONS; The Maumee is pretty much ice free. Still some ice chunks , debris , logs that kind of stuff flowing through, it will take a bit of time for that stuff to clear out. Plus we need that water to warm up… the water temps that we are looking for are mid 40s flowing into lake Erie in order to get the spawning instinct started. Getting closer.
