Maumee river report -3 april 2023

This has been a fun weekend of fishing, lots of fish, lots of smiling faces.

SUNRISE/ FIRST CAST-7:14 am

SUNSET/ LAST CAST-8:01 pm

WEIGHT: 3/4  to  1 oz  and up

.

Water level should have crested last night , will now steady out and drop midweek. The river is packed full of spawning walleye.

High water areas , TOWPATH, ORLEANS PARK, WHITE ST ACCESS. Maybe DAVIS . 

We get a lot of questions as to what and where is the TOWPATH.  For much of its 9-mile length, the Towpath Trail traces the Maumee River. It traverses three parks as it follows the former Miami & Erie Canal (circa mid-1800s).  Was used to tow barges with freight and passangers via mule power back then.  In our fishing section here in Maumee it starts at White street and goes on up to side cut park-just to the tip of Bluegrass island. 

Pink , Orange and white heads with bright color tails have been the common successful baits. 

Today-Partly sunny, with a high near 61. Southwest wind 7 to 10 mph

Fish cleaners on duty daily til last cast or later. 

Have fun be safe and good luck fishing .
