Walleye

Walleye anglers in the Cedar Falls area often focus their efforts on the Cedar River. The river offers a variety of structure, including rocky areas, current breaks, and submerged timber, which provide ideal habitat for walleye. Spring and fall are the prime seasons for targeting walleye here. During the spring spawn, walleye congregate in shallower areas, making them more accessible to anglers. In the fall, they feed heavily to prepare for winter. A helpful local tip: focus your fishing efforts around bridge pilings and dams, as these structures often attract walleye. Jigs tipped with minnows or nightcrawlers are a popular and effective presentation. Be aware of water levels and current conditions, as these can significantly impact walleye behavior. The walleye population in the Cedar River is decent, and patient anglers can be rewarded with some quality fish.
