BOATING SAFETY First and foremost, boating in a larger river can be more dangerous than boating in a lake due to fast currents and turbulence. Make sure you have enough power to navigate the river safely. Sorry guys, but when the river is high a small outboard just will not fight the current. It can put you in serious danger. Make sure you have a good anchor and a good anchor line. 20 ft of line is advisable. Carrying a spare anchor is smart in case you have to cut a line. This will ensure that in the case of a lost anchor or having to cut your line you can still anchor if you have engine problems and are not left to the mercy of the river. |

It is believed that the walleye have run up the Maumee River to spawn since early settlement days. Archaeological digs of Indian sites have turned up walleye bones on the Sandusky River and researchers are fairly confident that they would have migrated up the Maumee River at the same time. Every spring thousands of Walleye enter the Maumee river.

What Are the Walleyes Doing? |

The walleye typically start showing up in the Maumee River when the water temperature is just above freezing (34°-35°). There are several populations that contribute to this spawn. There is a small amount of resident walleye that move to the spawning areas early in the year. These fish will hold in the area until females appear to start the spawning ritual. The next group of fish is from Lake Erie. The Ohio DOW states that only 10% of the actual walleye population of Lake Erie spawns in the rivers. |

Warts or Lymphocystis, although rarely lethal, is a chronic infectious viral disease caused by an iridovirus that results in uniquely enlarged cells, appearing as warts, in the skin and fins of walleye and most centrarchids in North America. |
