Walleye

Walleye in Echo Lake? You've found a unique opportunity! While not as common as trout or bass, walleye can be found here, offering a challenging but rewarding fishing experience. Echo Lake's deep, cold water provides suitable habitat for these fish. Focus your efforts during the spring and fall, when walleye are most active. Look for them near rocky points, drop-offs, and submerged structure. Jigs tipped with nightcrawlers or minnows are effective presentations. Trolling with crankbaits can also be productive, especially in the deeper sections of the lake. Because the water is so clear, using fluorocarbon leaders and downsizing your presentation can increase your chances of success. Early morning and late evening, as well as overcast days, are prime times for walleye fishing. Remember to check the local regulations regarding size and bag limits before you start fishing. A fish finder can be invaluable for locating walleye and structure in this deep lake.
