FISHING REPORT MAUMEE RIVER 7/20/10
THE RIVER CONTINUES TO DROP. YOU CAN WALK TO BLUEGRASS ISLAND WITH OUT GETTING WET. VERY WADABLE AND WITH CLEAR WATER, SMALLMOUTH BASS FISHING HAS BEEN PICKING UP. SMALLIES CAN BE FOUND AT ANY OF THE ACCESS SITES. SOME OF THE MORE POPULAR AREAS ARE VAN TASSEL, OSTEGO PARK, WIERS RAPIDS, THE JEROME RD. AREA. AND THE AREA BETWEEN JEROME RD. AND THE WATERVILLE BRIDGE. THE AREA BETWEEN JEROME RD. AND THE WATERVILLE BRIDGE IS ALL PRIVATE PROPERTY AND YOU MUST STAY IN THE WATER AND OFF ANY LAND. FISHING FROM A CANOE IS PROABLY BEST. ANY ROCKY AREA WITH CURRENT WILL HOLD SMALLIES. SOME OF THE FAVORITE LURES ANGLERS USE ARE CRANK BAITS SUCH AS THE ''BIG O '', NO.7 FLOATING RAPALA, RAPALA HUSKY JERKS AND RATTLE SPOTS. TOP WATER, MY FAVORITE IS THE REBEL ''POP R''. SMALL SPINNER BAITS ARE A FAVORITE TOO. MOSTLY WHITE IN COLOR OR CHARTREUSE. REMEMBER, MOST ANGLERS PRACTICE CATCH & RELEASE WITH SMALLMOUTH BASS.
