Loaded

The river is on fire right now! That rain brought in more hard females and also the carp are hitting hard. This weekend will show tons of limits coming out. I anticipate early May fishing to be great for walleye too.

Twos

Going by twos I guess. H

ard for me to get in the river these days, but when I have an hour it has been productive.

The Onslaught

Lots of fish everywhere. Lots of boats. Lots of waders. Schroeders was packed with lots of campers still coming in on Friday after dark. Lots of everything! Wow, was the river busy yesterday. I'm sure it's slammed right now too. Rain will push out some evening fishermen on Sunday though. The 16" jacks made their way into town, as you can see above. Happy Fishing!

Schroeder Farms Opens Sunday, March 31

Expect a lot of mud! Heather posted the opening yesterday. The river was slow and low the last few days. Expect this soaking rain to bring plenty of fresh fish up the Maumee later next week! I did pick off this 4 lb 8 oz female last night. Lots of guys with only 1 fish on their stringer, including me.

Buttonwood is OPEN

The drive into Buttonwood Park is open. There is parking on the left side. The camp ground area remains closed. Schroeder's remains closed, but they were doing some work with a bulldozer yesterday. Parking on River Rd outside of Davis Overlook gets you a $15 parking ticket.

Found It!

I found this little gem about one mile downriver from where it formerly stood! After it dries out, I will return it to the Park District.

Orleans Lot OPEN!

The Orleans Park lot is open up top. However, access to the launch at the river bottom remains closed. At least we can park and walk through Orleans now! River Rd in Maumee is also open, although parking is limited. Access to Bluegrass is identified by the sign on whether or not you can cross to Bluegrass safely.
