First Trip To Spring River

[Leitsout]

Making my first trip to the Spring River this weekend. Gonna fish for trout mostly but I'd like to find some walleye and even some muskie. I was wondering how far down river I'd have to go to find them. Any help would appreciated; river access points, tackle or so forth. I figure some of the same tackle i use for pike would do for the muskies.

Muskie and walleye would require a boat and access to deeper water. I have caught walleye but never any of the muskie. Walleye were produced trolling some of the deeper holes and your best luck would be after dark.

Most places rent canoes. Riverside resort has nice camping area, cabins, and an owner that likes to fish for the Walleye. He may be some help to you.

As far as wading goes, public places are Lasseters in town, Dam 3 at the hatchery, and the Bayou access. All of the campgrounds will let you fish for a daily fee if you are not a quest.
