If you’re coming to Lake Winnebago for some Walleye fishing, you’ve chosen the right place! The lake is considered to be one of the best Walleye spots in the state and boasts high numbers of this fish. This abundance allows for the season to be open year round and you can target them even when you’re ice fishing in winter.
 
The Walleye in Lake Winnebago rarely exceed 20 inches, so it’s safe to say size doesn’t matter in this case! What makes these fish a top target in Wisconsin, then? It’s a mixture of two things: great taste and great rod-bending action. Even though there’s lots of them, they’re not that easy to catch, so you can always count on a fun fishing trip. 
 
The best time to catch Walleye is from May–June, when they’re most active. Since they’re sensitive to light, you can expect the bite to be best early in the morning or late in the afternoon. This sensitivity is great during fall because it makes those cloudy and windy days a perfect setup for a successful Walleye trip. You can choose between a half day and a full day trip, depending on how long you want to stay on the water.
