Walleye

For walleye near Brunsville, Iowa, you'll want to focus on the larger lakes and reservoirs in the region. These bodies of water offer the best habitat and populations. Spring and fall are the prime times for walleye fishing, as they move into shallower water to spawn and feed. During the day, try trolling crankbaits or jigs along drop-offs and submerged structure. At night, walleye often move into shallower water to feed, so try casting crankbaits or fishing with live bait near shorelines. A local tip: pay attention to wind direction, as walleye often congregate on the windward side of the lake. Also, be aware of any size or creel limits that may apply to specific bodies of water. The walleye in these areas can be quite challenging to catch, but the reward of landing a good-sized fish is well worth the effort.
