Walleye
Franklin sits in a prime location for chasing walleye in northwest Pennsylvania. The Allegheny River is the main draw, offering diverse structure and plenty of walleye habitat. Focus your efforts around deeper pools, current breaks, and rocky areas. Walleye fishing is best during the spring and fall months when water temperatures are cooler. Spring sees walleye moving upstream to spawn, making them more concentrated and aggressive. Fall brings another feeding frenzy as they prepare for winter. Local tip: The stretch of the Allegheny River near the confluence with French Creek is known to hold good numbers of walleye. A boat is beneficial for covering more water, but there are also several access points for bank fishing. Be aware that the river can fluctuate significantly depending on rainfall, so check water levels before heading out. The walleye in the Allegheny River are generally healthy, and you might even hook into a larger fish. Jigs tipped with minnows or nightcrawlers are a classic and effective presentation here.
