Walleye
Targeting walleye near West Haven is a bit of a specialized pursuit, as they aren't as widespread as some other species. Your best bet is to focus on the larger reservoirs and lakes in the surrounding area, although some may require a bit of a drive. These deeper, cooler waters provide the habitat that walleye prefer. The best times to target them are in the spring and fall, particularly during low-light conditions – early morning, late evening, and overcast days. Trolling crankbaits or jigging along drop-offs and rocky structures are proven techniques. A key local tip is to use your electronics to locate schools of baitfish, as the walleye will often be nearby. Access is generally good at the larger reservoirs, with boat ramps and parking available. Check the regulations carefully, as there may be specific rules regarding walleye fishing, such as size limits or seasonal closures. Walleye in this region can reach impressive sizes, making the effort worthwhile for anglers willing to put in the time and research.
