Seasonal Activity Chart
Walleye
If you're after walleye near Cottage Grove, focus your attention on the Madison chain of lakes – particularly Lake Waubesa and Lake Kegonsa. These lakes hold a decent walleye population, though they can be challenging to target. Spring and fall are generally the best times, as the walleye tend to be more active in cooler water. Jigging minnows or leeches along weed edges and drop-offs is a classic technique. Trolling crankbaits can also be effective, especially at night. Pay attention to depth finders and look for areas where the bottom structure changes. Access is good, with multiple public boat launches available. However, the lakes can get crowded, particularly on weekends. Walleye fishing here requires patience and persistence, as the fish can be finicky. Consider using fluorocarbon leaders to minimize line visibility. Local tip: target areas near the Yahara River inlet and outlet, as these areas often hold concentrations of walleye. Be sure to check the local fishing regulations, as size and bag limits may apply.
