Walleye
Looking to hook into some Walleye near Madison, Wisconsin? The Madison Chain of Lakes – Mendota, Monona, Waubesa, and Kegonsa – are your prime destinations. Each lake offers unique walleye habitat, from Mendota's deep, clear waters to the shallower, weedier bays of Waubesa and Kegonsa. The spring walleye run is a popular time, as walleye move into shallower areas to spawn. However, the late summer and fall months often provide more consistent fishing as the walleye actively feed before winter. A key local tactic is to troll crankbaits along weed lines and rocky points, especially during low-light conditions. The Yahara River, connecting the lakes, can also be productive. Be sure to check the local fishing regulations, as size and bag limits can vary between the lakes. A practical tip: the Tenney Park boat launch on Lake Mendota offers good access, but can get crowded, so arrive early. Walleye in the Madison Chain are known for being structure-oriented, so focus your efforts on areas with depth changes, weed edges, and submerged timber.
