Walleye
While Kenton, Ohio isn't necessarily a walleye mecca, determined anglers can find success targeting these fish in the Scioto River. Spring and fall are your best bets, as walleye migrate upstream to spawn or seek deeper pools as water temperatures fluctuate. Focus your efforts around areas with current breaks, such as bridge pilings, submerged timber, and rocky outcroppings. A key access point is the State Route 309 bridge, where you can fish from the bank. Wading can be productive in shallower sections, but be mindful of water levels, especially after heavy rains. Local tip: try using jigs tipped with nightcrawlers or minnows, working them slowly along the bottom. The walleye here aren't as numerous as in the Great Lakes, so patience and persistence are key. Remember to check the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) website for size and bag limits before heading out.
