Walleye
Walleye fishing near Columbia City requires a bit of a drive, as the area isn't particularly known for this species. Your best bet is to head west towards the Tippecanoe River or north to some of the larger reservoirs in Noble County. While not a walleye hotspot, these areas do hold populations of walleye that can provide a rewarding fishing experience. Spring and fall are also the best times for walleye. Focus on areas with current breaks or submerged structure. Try trolling crankbaits or jigging with minnows. A key tip for the Tippecanoe River is to fish the deeper holes and eddies, especially after a period of rain. Be mindful of the river's flow, as it can fluctuate significantly. Walleye in this region are often smaller, but persistence can pay off with a memorable catch.
