Walleye
Walleye fishing in Green Valley Lake presents a unique challenge, as they are not as common as other species. However, dedicated anglers can find success, especially during the cooler months of spring and fall. Focus your efforts in deeper areas of the lake, particularly near the dam and along rocky points. Walleye are light-sensitive, so low-light conditions are ideal. Try trolling crankbaits or using jigs tipped with nightcrawlers or minnows. A crucial local tip: Green Valley Lake's water clarity can vary, so experiment with different lure colors and sizes to find what works best. Be patient and persistent, as walleye fishing here requires covering a lot of water. Access to the lake is available via the public boat launch, and a fish finder can be invaluable for locating submerged structure and schools of baitfish. The walleye population is not heavily pressured, offering the chance to catch a truly memorable fish.
