The best fishing spots include river bends, submerged structures, and the mouth of nearby inlets. Shore access is limited, so boat access via the Buffalo Bridge public boat ramp is ideal. Spring and early summer are prime for walleye near shallows; crankbaits and jigs with minnows work well. Pike and bass are active in warmer months around vegetation and rocky areas—use spoons or spinnerbaits. Catfish bite best in deeper holes using cut bait. Early morning or dusk yields better results.
