Walleye
If you're looking to hook into some Walleye in Northwest Ohio, Napoleon offers some surprisingly good opportunities. The Maumee River is the star here, especially during the spring spawning run. Walleye migrate upriver, congregating below the dam in Napoleon. This creates a concentrated fishery, though it can get crowded. Prime time is typically late March through April, but fishing can remain productive throughout the summer and into the fall. Jigging minnows or casting crankbaits near the dam are popular and effective techniques. Be aware of water levels, as high or low water can impact fish location and accessibility. A good access point is the public boat launch on the north side of the river near downtown. Also, be prepared for some competition from other anglers during the peak season.
