Walleye fishing near Sauk Village, Illinois, requires a bit of a drive, as you won't find them in the immediate vicinity. Your best bet is heading towards the larger rivers like the Illinois River or some of the larger reservoirs further west or north. These bodies of water offer the kind of deeper, cooler waters that walleye prefer. The fall months, particularly October and November, are excellent for targeting walleye as they feed heavily before winter. Also, the early spring spawning run can be productive. A local tip: jigging minnows or using crankbaits around bridge pilings and rocky points can be very effective. Be sure to check the Illinois Department of Natural Resources website for specific regulations regarding size and bag limits for walleye in the waters you plan to fish.
