Walleye
While not as well-known as other Ohio walleye destinations, Dover provides opportunities to tangle with these prized fish. The Tuscarawas River, though not a classic walleye river, does hold a population of these fish, particularly during their spring spawning run. Focus your efforts in areas with current breaks and rocky bottoms. Early spring, as the ice melts and the water begins to warm, is the best time to target walleye in the river. Trolling crankbaits or jigging minnows near dams and bridges can be productive techniques. Be aware that river conditions can change rapidly, so always check water levels and flow rates before heading out. A local tip: focus on areas where smaller creeks enter the Tuscarawas, as these areas often attract baitfish and, consequently, walleye. The walleye in this section of the river tend to be smaller, but still a rewarding catch.
