Walleye
Walleye fishing near Coburg, Iowa, requires a bit of a drive to larger bodies of water. While Coburg itself doesn't have prime walleye habitat, nearby opportunities exist. Head towards larger reservoirs like those up near Fort Dodge or Clear Lake for your best chances. The fall months are particularly productive as walleye feed aggressively before winter. Look for rocky points, submerged humps, and areas near the dam. Trolling crankbaits or jigging with minnows are effective techniques. A local tip: Check the Iowa DNR fishing reports for the latest information on walleye activity in these larger lakes. Also, be prepared for potentially windy conditions on these larger bodies of water. The walleye in these reservoirs are known for their good size, with fish over 20 inches being relatively common.
