Seasonal Activity Chart
Walleye
Walleye fishing near Valparaiso, Indiana, centers around the Lake Michigan shoreline and its connected waterways. While the lake itself is the primary draw, don't overlook the potential of the Burns Ditch and other tributaries. These can be productive during the spring spawning runs, as walleye migrate into the warmer, shallower waters. Spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) are prime times. In the spring, target areas near the mouth of Burns Ditch with jigs and minnows. In the fall, try trolling crankbaits along the shoreline in the evenings. Be mindful of the strong currents and boat traffic on Lake Michigan. Launching at Portage Marina provides good access to the lake. Walleye in this area tend to be structure-oriented, so focus on submerged rocks, piers, and breakwalls. Check local fishing reports for the most up-to-date information on walleye movements and productive locations.
