Walleye
If you're looking to tangle with some walleye in eastern Ohio, Scio offers some under-the-radar opportunities. While not as famous as Lake Erie, the nearby Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD) lakes and the Muskingum River itself hold decent populations of walleye. Think Seneca Lake, Leesville Lake, and Tappan Lake. Spring and fall are prime times, as the walleye are more active in cooler water. In the spring, target areas near spawning grounds like rocky points and submerged timber in the MWCD lakes. For a practical tip, consider using a jig and minnow combination – a classic walleye presentation that works well in these waters. Public access is available at various points around the lakes, including boat ramps and shoreline access. Be aware that MWCD lakes often have horsepower restrictions, so check regulations before heading out. The walleye in this region tend to be good eating size, often in the 15-20 inch range, but larger fish are certainly possible. Don't overlook the river either; walleye will move into the river to spawn in the spring and can be caught using crankbaits or jigs near current breaks.
