Walleye
While not a renowned walleye destination, Methuen offers a few under-the-radar opportunities for anglers targeting this species. The Merrimack River is the primary walleye habitat here. Focus your efforts in the deeper pools and areas with current breaks, especially near the Lawrence Dam. Walleye fishing is best in the spring (March-April) after ice-out and again in the fall (October-November) as water temperatures cool. Try trolling crankbaits or jigging with minnows near the river bottom. A key to success here is understanding the river's structure; walleye will often hold tight to submerged rocks and ledges. Public access is available at several points along the river, but be prepared for some challenging terrain. The walleye population in this section of the Merrimack is relatively small, so practice catch and release to help sustain the fishery.
