Has anybody been fishing in the Fremont or maumee river fir walleye
best way to keep up with the river is go to Maumee tackle website click on river update they do a daily report ......
Angler supply in Fremont give a report on there answering machine 419 332 6071 but not sure if he started yet it will be at least a couple weeks before I try.
Look up the Maumee river walleye run Facebook page. Lots of good info and fellow fishermen sharing info
I've been watching the usual spots around Perrysburg and Maumee - there have been very few anglers in the water. I was also at Maumee Tackle yesterday, and they have heard of a rumor of a couple catches, but nothing has been brought into the shop yet. I suspect the warmer weather forecast for early next week will kick things off, and am planning to try my luck Tuesday or Wednesday.
One standard 'rule of thumb' for the Maumee Walleye Run....Watch the water temperatures, usually around 45 to 50 degrees turns them on. Young Jacks tend to move in first, (horney little bas...ds), then the Ladies.Quote:

Oh so true about the rains. Watch out for any melting ice/snow and swift currents too....people die out there!Quote:

The river is still a little too cold and last evening, it was up high enough that with water in the upper 30's, not something I'd like to try. Given the weather report, it will be crowded by next weekend, though. Success rates will depend on the amount of rain we get next week. Some of the precip models show enough rain through the middle of next week that it could get blown out, especially when preceded by the snowmelt that will likely happen on Saturday and into Sunday.Quote:
