Walleye
If you're looking for walleye in eastern Ohio near Hopedale, your best bet is to head a bit north to the larger reservoirs. While Hopedale itself doesn't have prime walleye habitat, nearby lakes like Leesville Lake and Tappan Lake, part of the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District, offer excellent opportunities. Spring and fall are peak seasons, as the walleye move shallower to spawn or feed aggressively before winter. Focus on areas near the dam at Leesville, or the submerged structure and points at Tappan Lake. A local tip: Trolling crankbaits along the old creek channels in Tappan can be incredibly effective. Also, be sure to check the MWCD website for any lake-specific regulations or access restrictions. The walleye in these reservoirs tend to be good size, often exceeding the legal minimum, and the populations are maintained through regular stocking.
