Walleye

While Arcadia, Iowa, might not be famous for walleye, nearby larger bodies of water and rivers offer opportunities to target this prized fish. Look to the larger reservoirs and river systems within a reasonable driving distance. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target walleye, as they move into shallower water to spawn or feed. Focus on areas with current, such as river inlets or outlets, and rocky points. A practical tip is to use jigs tipped with minnows or nightcrawlers, as these are effective in a variety of conditions. Check local fishing reports for the most up-to-date information on walleye activity and locations. Walleye fishing in this region often requires some travel, but the reward of landing one of these tasty fish is well worth the effort.
