Walleye
If you're after Walleye in the Lafayette area, the Wabash River is your primary target. While not a trophy walleye destination, the Wabash offers a decent population of smaller, more accessible fish. The best times are spring and fall, particularly around dawn and dusk. Focus your efforts near rocky areas, bridge pilings, and current breaks. A helpful local tip is to try fishing below the dam near Delphi (a short drive from Lafayette); the turbulent water there often holds walleye. For bank access, consider the trails along the river near downtown Lafayette. Walleye in this stretch of the Wabash tend to be on the smaller side, typically under 20 inches. Jigs tipped with minnows or nightcrawlers are effective, as are crankbaits that dive to the appropriate depth. Be mindful of fluctuating water levels, which can impact walleye location and activity.
