With the ice season on the down fall in the weeks to come don't forget to pack your spinning rods with you, some of the best river fishing for lunker eyes happens below the spillway from now until late may. Last season we hit some wall mounters early in the morning and late in the evening. It gets kinda cramped up in there sometimes but nothing like the maumee. If you are going to wade there is a pretty good size hole just west of the bridge , when the water is flowing over the wall steady it can be in the 6-7' range. We have caught several limits in the past with the average weight being over 4lbs. Bring plenty of jigs and different weights , heavier with fast flows and lighter with calmer days. You will see hundreds of tiny shad all over. I know some of you drive quite a distance to fish so if the ice is not safe for you in your hot spot this gives you an option to still fish and have an opportunity to land a hawg.
