Walleye fishing sucked last year at both Arthur and Pymie, but I believe it to be from the mild winter not killing off a the usual portion of Alwives. Even the stiper fishing was off some nights at Arthur because there was just so much bait. There was times the lake looked like it was raining because of all the baitfish action on the surface.
 
Hopefully this year is better

First of all no treble hooks (sonars) are allowed on the Maumee or any night fishing. There are some very strict rules in place on the Maumee for gear use and fishing times ,but I'm sure foul hooking and snagging goes on with that many fishermen , but it's also policed very strong. I fished it one weekend years ago and it's very crowded in the better spots. Not my kind of river being that muddy all the time, but it's a long huge shallow faster flowing river. 99% of all fishermen there are using floating single hooked jigs with a twister tail on back. Not a Pymy spillway snaggers choice for sure !  
 
 I highly doubt that 99% of Spillway Walleye are legally caught. Having never fished it, but standing and watching those that were one day convinced me real fast that after sundown it's a snag fest. You can judge most fishermen real fast by the gear they wear and use, and how they fish. One look at that shoulder to shoulder shore crowd ripping away on those Walmart rods convinced me I would never fish in that zone..  ever !

Tell that to all the Salmon fly fishermen on the creeks.....they call it a hook up! Like I said I'm sure snagging goes on wherever crowds of fish and people meet  ....that's why I don't fish near shore crowds that prey on packs of spawning fish like vultures on a dead carcass. Sport fishing is about the challenge not the numbers, or the easiness of catching. I'll pass on both places the rest of my life without a second thought.
