Tough day of fishing yesterday we did see some fish caught , but you had to use a 1 1/2 oz weight to get to bottome and reach the sfish. Today should be much better with the water levels dropping throughout the day and into the rest of the week.
Today white street access, the Towpath , Orleans park and FtMiegs will be the best places to fish.

Outlook: We have entered into what is traditionally the peak of the walleye run . Ohio Department of Natural Resources fish surveys have seen large numbers of walleye in the spawning areas. High water will make the river difficult for anglers over the next few days.
The walleye run traditionally peaks during the first half of April so lots of fish in the river right now. Fishing should be good as the river drops to more normal levels. Fishing Pressure is and has been very low .

Weight:3/4 to 1 oz

Leader:36-48 inches

Colors: green head/ Berkly Xmas Lights Tail – Yellow head / Berkly firetiger tail – Red head /Pink sparkle tail – orange head/ black tail
