Walleye
Walleye fishing near Amherst presents a unique challenge, as they are not as widespread as other species. Your best bet is to head west towards the Connecticut River, specifically targeting areas with rocky bottoms and current breaks. While not abundant, the Connecticut River does hold some walleye, particularly in the deeper pools. Spring and fall are generally the most productive times to target walleye, as they tend to be more active in cooler water. Try trolling crankbaits or casting jigs tipped with minnows along the river's edge. Be aware of the river's fluctuating water levels, which can impact fishing conditions. Also, familiarize yourself with the specific regulations regarding walleye fishing on the Connecticut River, including size and creel limits.
