From May to September, the parks are open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. From October to April, the parks are open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Only registered campers are allowed in the campgrounds during the park's closed periods. Park entrance licenses are required year-round. Licenses may be purchased at the front gate or at the self-registration station. Walleyes enjoy shallow water during April, May and early June. A jig or floating jighead tipped with a minnow are common baits during this time.
Walleyes spook easily.
You can prevent this by using light line and an electric motor. During the warmer summer months, walleyes move into deeper and cooler water. A colored spinner rig, tipped with a nightcrawler or leech, is a favorite choice. To get the bait down, use an ounce to ounce and a half bottom bouncer. For the best success, use a chartreuse or silver lure.
