Walleye
If you're looking to hook into some walleye near Steubenville, the Ohio River is your prime target. This stretch of the river offers diverse structure, from rocky shorelines and submerged timber to deeper channels, all holding potential for walleye. Spring and fall are generally considered the best times, as walleye migrate to shallower waters for spawning and feeding. During the spring spawning run, focus your efforts near the mouths of tributaries entering the Ohio River. In the fall, target areas with current breaks and deeper pools. A local tip: Pay attention to river levels, as clarity can fluctuate dramatically after heavy rains. Try using jigs tipped with minnows or nightcrawlers, especially when the water is murky. Public access is available at several boat ramps along the river, but be prepared for moderate boat traffic, especially on weekends. The walleye here tend to be good-sized, with some real trophies caught each year.
