Walleye
Walleye fishing near Columbus, Indiana, requires a bit of travel, but it's certainly achievable. While not located directly in Columbus, nearby reservoirs like Monroe and Brookville offer the best opportunities within reasonable driving distance. Spring and fall are the prime walleye seasons. Spring finds them spawning near rocky areas and dams, while fall sees them feeding heavily before winter. Trolling crankbaits or jigging with minnows are proven techniques. Check water clarity reports before you go, as walleye prefer slightly stained water. A useful tip: invest in a good sonar unit to locate submerged structure and schools of baitfish, as walleye tend to congregate in these areas. Walleye in these Indiana reservoirs often reach decent sizes, so be prepared for a good fight. Be sure to check the specific regulations for each reservoir, as they can vary.
