Seasonal Activity Chart
Walleye
The Maumee River is renowned for its incredible walleye run each spring, drawing anglers from across the Midwest. The key is timing: the peak typically occurs from late March through April, depending on water temperature and flow. Walleye migrate upriver to spawn, congregating in predictable areas. Popular spots include Buttonwood and Jerome Road Rapids. Jigs tipped with minnows or plastic tails are the go-to presentation. Be prepared for crowds, especially on weekends. A local's tip: arrive early to secure a spot, and be courteous to fellow anglers. Also, pay close attention to water levels and clarity – these factors can significantly impact walleye behavior. Another tip is to vary your jigging technique until you find what the fish are responding to. The walleye in the Maumee are known for their size and aggressive strikes. Be aware of the regulations, which can change during the spawning run, and practice catch-and-release to help sustain this fantastic fishery.
