Walleye
Walleye enthusiasts heading to Taneyville should set their sights on Bull Shoals Lake. While not as abundant as bass, Bull Shoals does hold a population of walleye that can provide a rewarding challenge. Spring and fall are the prime times to target them, particularly during the pre-spawn and post-spawn periods. Focus your efforts on rocky points, submerged humps, and along the dam face. Trolling crankbaits or jigging spoons are popular techniques. Night fishing under lights can also be very effective. A local tip: Pay attention to water clarity; walleye prefer slightly stained water, so areas with a bit of turbidity can be productive. The James River arm of Bull Shoals can sometimes hold good numbers of walleye. Be prepared to cover some water to find them, and always check the local regulations for size and creel limits.
