Walleye
Walleye fishing near Hillsboro, Wisconsin, can be rewarding, although it requires a bit of strategy. The Baraboo River and its associated flowages hold walleye, but they can be scattered. Focus your attention on areas with current breaks, like below dams or near bridge pilings. Spring (after the spawn, typically late May-June) and fall (September-October) are the most productive times. During the spring, walleye will often be found near spawning areas as they recover and feed. In the fall, they're bulking up for winter. A jig tipped with a minnow or a slow-trolled crankbait are effective tactics. A local tip: early morning and late evening are often the best times to target walleye, especially in clearer water. Be mindful of water levels in the river, as they can fluctuate. While trophy walleye are less common here than in some larger Wisconsin lakes, you can still find respectable fish with persistence and the right techniques.
