Walleye
Targeting walleye in the Rensselaer, Indiana area requires a bit of exploration, as the region isn't necessarily known as a walleye hotspot, but opportunities exist for the persistent angler. Focus your efforts on the larger bodies of water within a reasonable driving distance, such as the Kankakee River. While the Kankakee isn't solely a walleye fishery, they are present, particularly in areas with submerged structure and current breaks. Spring and fall are your prime times; walleye tend to be more active in cooler water temperatures. Try trolling crankbaits or casting jigs tipped with minnows near submerged logs or rocky areas. A practical tip: research water levels before you go, as the Kankakee can fluctuate significantly. Public access points are available, but be prepared for potentially muddy conditions, especially after rainfall. Walleye in this region tend to be moderate in size, so lighter tackle can be effective, but be ready for the occasional larger fish.
