Walleye
While Rittman, Ohio, isn't exactly known as a walleye hotspot, dedicated anglers can find opportunities within a reasonable drive. The best bet for walleye is to head north towards Lake Erie tributaries like the Sandusky River or the Maumee River during their spring spawning runs. These rivers see significant walleye migrations, offering a chance to catch these prized fish. The spring run typically peaks in March and April, but monitor water temperatures and local fishing reports for the most accurate timing. A key tip is to focus on areas with current breaks or submerged structure, as walleye will often congregate in these spots. Heavy jigs tipped with minnows or twister tails are popular and effective. Be prepared for crowds during the peak of the run, and respect other anglers. These river walleye are known for their fighting spirit, so be sure to have your drag set accordingly. Remember to always check the current Ohio fishing regulations for Lake Erie and its tributaries, as they can change annually.
