For fishermen who live some distance away, I'll try to post a Maumee River report each Friday from now through April. I'll check two top fishing spots - Buttonwood and 'Turkeyfoot Rapids' about a mile upstream.
Saturday, March 14th, 10 AM:
Scattered reports over the last several weeks of fair numbers of jacks being caught. Not much appears to be going on today, though. The weather is cold and windy, and the river very high.
Three boats in the Buttonwood channel, and a handful of waders scattered from there upstream. No fish seen.

Good. Good, that is no spawning fish being caught.

A young man who wishes to remain a sound Atheist cannot be too careful of his reading. There are traps everywhere--'Bibles laid open, millions of surprises,' as Herbert says, 'fine nets and stratagems.' God is, if I may say it, very unscrupulous.

spawning fish being caught. I'd like to know: do you fish Lake Erie, Robert? If you do, you know that the overwhelming majority of fish caught are under five pounds. Where are all those ten and twelve pound monsters from the river? No one knows. But we know we did not wipe them out last spring, because they'll show up thick as theives this spring. If they don't show up in the next few weeks, I'll concede the debate and e-mail you a beer.
It is possible to hurt the walleye population in the lake. Pollution, nets .. these things killed them off before and can do it again.
But ... hook and line fishing? I don't think so. We fisherman, with our sophisticated electronics and fishing techniques, think we're pretty slick. But the fact is, walleyes breed way, way faster than we can catch them. The number of fish in the lake is governed by natural cycles and conditions during the spawn. Our feeble efforts mean little, if anything.

How on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love?
