Walleye
Rossford sits in a prime location for accessing some of the best Walleye fishing in the world on Lake Erie. However, the Maumee River also offers a unique opportunity for walleye, especially during the famed spring run. This is when countless walleye migrate up the river to spawn, creating a frenzy for anglers. The key is timing: monitor water temperatures and river levels closely. The peak of the run typically occurs in late March and early April. The stretch of the Maumee near downtown Toledo is a popular spot, but be prepared for crowds. Jigs tipped with minnows or plastic worms are the standard presentation. A local tip: pay attention to the current. Walleye tend to congregate in areas where they can rest out of the main flow. The walleye in the Maumee are known for their size, with many fish exceeding 5 pounds. Even outside the spring run, walleye can be found in the deeper holes of the river and in Maumee Bay, providing year-round opportunities.
