Seasonal Activity Chart
Walleye
Walleye fishing in the Lansing area centers largely on the Grand River. While it might not be the first place that comes to mind for walleye, this river holds a decent population, especially during the spring spawning run and the fall feeding frenzy. Focus your efforts near dams, deeper holes, and areas with current breaks. The best times to target walleye here are typically early spring (March-April) as they move upstream to spawn, and again in the late fall (October-November) as they fatten up for winter. A helpful local tip: night fishing can be particularly effective for walleye in the Grand River. Use lighted bobbers or lures that glow in the dark to attract their attention. Also, be aware of the river's fluctuating water levels, which can significantly impact walleye location and activity. Jigs tipped with minnows or nightcrawlers are a reliable choice, but don't hesitate to experiment with crankbaits as well. The walleye here tend to run smaller than in the Great Lakes, but catching a few keepers is definitely possible.
