Walleye
Walleye fishing near Francisco, Indiana, requires a bit of strategy, as they are not as widespread as other species. Your best bet is the Patoka River. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, as walleye move upstream to spawn or prepare for winter. Focus on areas with current breaks, rocky bottoms, and deeper holes. Jigs tipped with minnows or nightcrawlers are a proven tactic, especially when fished near the bottom. Trolling crankbaits along channel edges can also be effective. A local tip: pay attention to water clarity. If the river is murky, opt for brighter colored lures. Walleye in this area tend to be structure-oriented, so use your electronics to locate submerged timber or rock piles. Be sure to check the Indiana DNR regulations for size and bag limits on walleye, as they can vary depending on the specific water body.
