Walleye
Targeting walleye near Hope, Indiana, requires a bit of travel, but it's worthwhile. While the Flatrock River itself isn't known for walleye, nearby larger reservoirs like Cagles Mill Lake (Lieber State Recreation Area) hold populations of this prized fish. Spring and fall are the key seasons. Walleye move shallow to spawn in the spring, making them accessible to anglers casting from shore or fishing from small boats. In the fall, they feed aggressively to prepare for winter. Trolling crankbaits or jigging along rocky points and submerged structure are effective tactics. A local tip: pay attention to the thermocline during the summer months. Walleye will often hold just above this temperature break. Cagles Mill Lake has several boat ramps, but they can get busy, especially on weekends, so plan accordingly. The walleye in this area are generally in the 2-5 pound range, with larger fish possible.
