Seasonal Activity Chart
Walleye
Walleye fishing near Griffith, Indiana, primarily centers around the larger river systems and connected lakes. The Kankakee River is a prime location, offering decent walleye fishing opportunities, particularly during the spring and fall migrations. These fish move upriver to spawn or feed, making them more accessible. The early spring, just after ice-out, can be especially productive. Focus on areas with current breaks, such as bridge pilings, submerged logs, and rocky points. Jigs tipped with minnows or nightcrawlers are effective baits. A local tip is to fish the Kankakee River at night during the warmer months using crankbaits or stickbaits. Be aware that the Kankakee River can be challenging to navigate due to fluctuating water levels and submerged debris, so exercise caution. Walleye size in this region can vary, but you have a shot at catching some respectable fish. Always consult the Indiana Department of Natural Resources for current regulations and advisories.
