Seasonal Activity Chart

Walleye
If you're targeting walleye in the Buchanan area, the St. Joseph River is your primary focus. This section of the river is known for its moderate current and varied structure, creating ideal walleye habitat. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, as walleye migrate upstream to spawn or move into deeper pools to overwinter. Focus your efforts around the Berrien Springs Dam or the many submerged logs and rock piles downstream. For bank anglers, try casting from Riverfront Park in Niles, which provides good access to productive areas. Boaters will find a convenient launch at the Barron Lake Road access point. Be mindful of the seasonal water levels, as they can fluctuate significantly and impact walleye location and feeding patterns. Using jigs tipped with minnows or nightcrawlers, especially near the bottom, is a proven tactic here. Remember to check the Michigan DNR website for current regulations regarding size and bag limits.
