Table Rock Lake Walleye Fishing


Table Rock Lake is definitely more of a bass lake.  That doesn’t mean that you can’t target some walleye on a trip here.


Fish Closer to the Dam


To increase your odds, try fishing areas around the dam.  The Kings River arm, James River arm and the White River arm are better areas to target walleye here.


Spring is Best


The spring is usually the easiest time to catch them here, but some anglers do report some nice catches in the late fall and through the winter too.  When the walleye move into the shallower water in the spring, they are a lot easier to target.


Finesse It Up


You will still need to be as stealthy as possible though with the clear water.  Low light conditions are key and lighter line in the 6 to 8 pound range will help you get more bites.  Fluorocarbon line is also essential to getting more bites during the day time.


Best Baits for Walleye
