Seasonal Activity Chart
Walleye
Walleye fishing near Reddick, Illinois presents a challenge, but can be rewarding in certain areas of the Kankakee River. Target deeper holes and areas with current breaks along the river. Spring (March-April) and fall (October-November) are the most productive times. During the spring spawn, walleye congregate in these areas. Use jigs tipped with minnows or nightcrawlers, working them slowly along the bottom. Crankbaits that dive deep are also effective for covering water. Keep in mind that walleye can be finicky, so experiment with different presentations and retrieves. A local tip: fish near the dam structures in the Kankakee River, as walleye tend to congregate in these areas, especially during periods of high water flow. Be sure to check local fishing regulations regarding size and creel limits.
