Walleye

The Minnesota River near Henderson provides a solid opportunity to target walleye. The river's current and structure create ideal ambush points for these prized fish. Focus your efforts on areas around dams, bridge pilings, and channel edges. Spring and fall are traditionally the best times to target walleye, as they tend to be more active during these cooler periods. Jigging with minnows or leeches is a popular and effective technique. A local tip: pay close attention to the river's water level and clarity. Walleye tend to be more active in slightly stained water. Also, be aware of any regulations regarding size and possession limits. Walleye in the Minnesota River can be finicky, so be prepared to experiment with different presentations and locations until you find what works.
