Not April Fools

So, yes, the river is on the rise again Walleye Warriors. Welcome to April, and this is no joke. From what I have gathered this week, there were some great days on Easter Weekend and then again Wednesday and early Thursday. And now, up we go on water levels again! Have no fear! It's nice that this year we actually have some variation. Remember the last two years... * * * In at least the last two decades, the walleye runs of 2014 and 2015 ranked at the bottom of the pile. After ice, which lasted until the 3rd week of March, we clobbered em!...only to have the river stay low--on average--for the rest of the spring. Even white bass numbers in May were low for the last two years. So, this year we had a fast start. That's great! So what is next? * * * Remember that the Mighty Maumee tells US when to fish and not the other way around. We are at her mercy always. Say a prayer, have faith, and stay ready for some fishing in the next weeks that could be legendary. DBLDIP is in the house. Fisherboy is on stand-by. Birdman is watching. Whacker-H has you covered. And The Closer is closing in. * * * I'm Dr. Walleye. And THIS is the 2016 Maumee River Walleye Run!

I just did a drive around and saw 2 fish carried out of Orleans, also saw a "Fisherboy" standing there in the rain getting wet. At 475 bridge the height is 585.5 and hauling butt. Quite a few boats out from Orleans but everyone is fishing in main current for some reason.
