Walleye fishing on Lake St. Clair can offer some of the best fishing for anglers anywhere. This great lake offers plenty to anglers from all over, with over four hundred and fifty square kilometers located in Windsor, Ontario. Whether you are looking for Walleye fishing during the winter months or in the warmer summer season, you are sure to catch what you came for. The average water depth for this beautiful lake is around three meters, with no spot deeper than eight meters, and it is connected to Lake Erie on the south end and Lake Huron on the northern part.

Lake St. Clair is the favorite haunt of many anglers because of the size and number of Walleye in these cool clear waters.

The American side of the lake close to the shipping channel has an abundance of fish during most of the year, and bottom bouncers along with crawler harnesses seems to work wonders with the Walleye in this area. The fish like to hang between eighteen and twenty two feet of water here. The Belle River Hump is another area where most anglers report having great luck most of the time, as well as the area close to Mitchell’s Bay just south of the XE2 buoy. Using red beads and hammered gold blades seem to be very effective in these areas as well.

Walleye naturally feed in the early morning and late afternoon, usually around dawn and dusk, and fishing at these times will improve your odds of catching a large number of fish. These fish also like to feed on the bottom, so using bait which will bounce or drag along the bottom of the lake may surprise you with excellent results. Evening fishing offers the best results, using lures and jigs that resemble minnows and worms. Rock piles and weed beds are fantastic places to locate Walleye, and so are underwater structures such as reefs. Walleye will follow the bait fish, so when you see these types of fish you can almost guarantee that there will be Walleye following.

Sometimes the best way to catch that trophy Walleye on Lake St. Clair or any other body of water is to move away from the herd and find spots that are not over fished. Use a fish finder to locate numbers of fish which are not following the usual pattern, checking areas of the lake that other anglers say is a waste of time.

With walleye fishing, the biggest part to taking a trophy fish is to think outside of the usual ways and take a chance. Twenty percent of anglers catch more than eighty percent of Walleye, and this is true of the trophy fish as well. These anglers have such great results because they know the true secret to fishing any body of water for Walleye, and that is that these fish are unpredictable, and may be at any place during any time, no matter what time it is or what the weather may be.

There are tournaments for all types of fishing, especially for the species that are most popular among anglers, which is why you’ll find plenty of walleye fishing tournaments, especially in the northern United States and in Canada. Especially in Ontario, where there are infinite locations to fish for walleye, you’ll find a number of tournaments in which to participate.

Don’t worry if you don’t get in on one of the big ones; there are plenty of smaller tournaments where you can get your feet wet as a newcomer or amateur that may even be better as a starting point, with fewer competitors equaling a better chance at one of the small prizes.

A large amount of these walleye fishing tournaments take place in Northwestern Ontario. For example, on Rainy River in Emo, Ontario, you’ll find the Emo Walleye Classic, taking place usually in late May. This is a catch and release tournament that offers somewhere in the neighborhood of $36,000 in prizes. Around the same time, you can visit Red Lake and partake of or simply observe a very special tournament. The Angler & Young Angler Walleye Fishing Tournament targets those under the age of 18 who enjoy fishing and aspire to become competitive anglers. This gives them a chance to work with friends and family to compete in a real tournament that can give them experience for the future.

Other sessions are held toward the beginning of July at Wabigoon Lake near Dryden and at the Lake of the Woods in the Kenora area in mid August, allowing youths an additional opportunity to participate in walleye fishing tournaments.

As the season progresses, the Northwestern Ontario district only gets more competitive. You’ll find Dryden the host of a tournament during mid June, hosting the Dryden Walleye Masters, where there are typically around 125 teams competing for a total of around $125,000 in cash and prizes. If you haven’t had enough by then, there are several more walleye fishing tournaments yet to attend.

The beginning of July brings about the Paradise Cove Summer Walleye Classic, hosted on the Winnipeg River System in the Minaki area. Prizes for the Daily Big Fish are distributed, as well as many more fun prizes. The big In-Fisherman Professional Walleye Trail Super Pro Tournament is held the 3rd and 4th weekends in July in Dryden on the Wabigoon chain of lakes, open to both professional and amateur anglers. Mid August gives rise to the Gary Roach Pro-Am Canadian American Walleye Tournament on the Winnipeg River System in the Minaki area, an event where amateurs can pair up with experienced competitive anglers and spend time socializing and learning from some of the best.

If you have ever been to Ontario, Canada on a fishing trip, you know how great an experience it can be. The remote, cold-water lakes of Ontario provide very good habitat for the northern game species of Walleye, Northern Pike, Muskie, Lake Trout, and other lesser species. The best among these lakes is the Lake of the Woods in SW Ontario. It has some of the world’s best walleye and other species habitat. This lake has become known as “Walleye Heaven” by professional fishermen, average fishermen, fish biologist, and sportsmen of all types.

If you fish in Ontario (or want to), how will you fish it? What kind of trip will you plan? How much of an adventure are you willing to take? You basically have three choices: “normal”, “adventure”, or “hybrid” (my terms). Let’s take a look at each one to see where your interests lie.

Adventure Choice #1 – Normal

Definition: (1) Conforming, adhering to a typical or standard pattern, level, or type. (2) Not affected or altered by experimentation. (3) The expected or usual state, form, amount, or degree.

This is the most “laid back” type trip. It involves the least amount of effort, knowledge, and preparation. If you are thinking about your first fishing trip to Canada, this is the kind of trip you should plan. The “usual” Canadian fishing trip first involves finding a lodge or camp that suits your needs and budget. There are many camps ready to serve you and the accommodations range from basic to luxurious. Fishermen plan a 3 to 5 day fishing trip and choose either a meals provided (American) plan or a do-your-own-cooking (European) plan. Unless you have you own boat, you plan on using the lodge’s boats. Since most fishermen are infrequent visitors, one of the main features of the “normal” trip is to hire a guide everyday to take you to the fish. That adds about $150 to $200 per day to the trip costs.

Here is how a typical day with a guide might go. After breakfast, you gather your gear, head down to the dock about 8:00am. The guide gathers all the gear, bait, etc in the boat and you head out for the day. Out on the water, the guide pulls up to a spot, tells you to get your lines out (probably with jigs) and you enjoy the anticipation of a nice walleye hitting your hook. The more fish you catch the happier you are, right? Depending on how the fish are biting, you are soon off to another spot where you put your lines out again. This sequence is repeated all morning.

At lunch time, the guide will park the boat on the shore of his favorite lunch spot. He then begins preparation of a great lunch. After cleaning the walleye caught in the morning, he prepares a fantastic, open-fire shore lunch of walleye, fried potatoes, and maybe a few other tasty trimmings. If you haven’t experienced this great, traditional Canadian shore lunch treat, you simply must put it on your “bucket list”. It is one of the great experiences of any fishing trip in Canada.

After lunch, you are off to repeat the morning sequences of stopping at a spot, throwing out your jigs and looking for lunker walleye. Around 3:00pm to 4:00pm, the guide will start edging toward the camp. In the afternoon, as a bit of diversity, some guides will take you to places where you can cast for northern pike or small mouth bass, or muskie. It depends on what you want to do.
(Warning: Language Not Suitable For Children)

A lot of fishermen (if not most) opt for the above fishing trip experience and are very happy with it. The guides are familiar with the area and know how to locate fishing spots for their guests. You can pretty much sit back, relax, and let the guide take you to the fish everyday. There is very little risk, of “no fish” and you really don’t have to worry about a thing. You don’t have to worry about where the fish are, what bait to use, navigating the lake, or fixing lunch, etc. It is a very comfortable way to enjoy an Ontario fishing trip to Lake of the Woods or other Ontario lake.

Adventure Choice #2 – Really Out There

Definition: (1) Participation in daring or exciting experiences, (2) An unusual or exciting experience.

If you want a more adventurous trip, you will end up doing most all of the above on your own. You will find and clean the fish, cook all the meals, and navigate the lake — all on your own. The biggest decision you must make is what lodge to use as your base. Most fishermen who choose this type trip will fly into a remote cabin owned by the lodge. On this remote lake, there will be a rustic cabin with beds, perhaps propane to use for heat, refrigeration, and cooking, and a small boat and motor. There will not usually be any guides or any other services available until a float plane returns at the end of the trip.

This type of do-it-yourself trip is for experienced fishermen who are familiar with Canadian Shield lake habitat/conditions and the species they are after. They are comfortable in their abilities to locate and catch fish consistently and otherwise survive for a few days out in the wilderness. To be dropped off outside of civilization and be almost totally on your own for a few days, can be a very rewarding feeling. First-timers or rookies on this type of Canadian fishing trip might enjoy the solitude and remote feeling, but be very disappointed about the fishing. The idea of not catching nice fish while on a fishing trip could leave anybody with a bad taste in their mouth about the whole Canada fishing thing…Not Good!

One more thing, if you choose a fly-in place, you will have to take most of your food, gear, and baits with you. It takes a lot of planning as there are tight weight restriction on the small float planes. Being unaware of or forgetting some very key items, gear, etc. could make for some hardships and/or bad memories. Fishermen who like this type trip know what they need, do a lot of planning, and relish being in the self-sufficient mode.

Adventure Choice #3 – Hybrid

Definition: 1. Something of mixed origin or composition. 2. The results of combining different elements, varieties, or species.

Above, you have a glance at two extremes of experiencing a great fishing trip to Ontario and/or Lake of the Woods (if you decide to choose it). However, there is an in-between way to go that pulls together the best of the “normal” and the “adventure” modes. You can enjoy the lodge/camp atmosphere and amenities, but take on the fishing, boating, navigating, and shore lunch — all on your own! Hunting the elusive walleye on a large, remote lake without a guide will definitely add a nice element of adventure to your trip.

You can go for an American plan and get a good breakfast and dinner in the lodge. However, the open-fire shore lunch duties are all yours to plan, create, and enjoy. Of course, to have a nice lunch, you must plan to catch a nice mess of walleye first, eh? Many lodges/camps (be sure to ask) can provide most of the raw lunch ingredients like potatoes, cooking oil, onions,, cornmeal, dishes, pans, and silverware. That might seem like a lot, but it all has little value without the main course – the prized walleye fillets. If the lodge doesn’t provide the basics for you (in a shore lunch box) as part of the trip costs, you might want to look elsewhere.

To make this type of trip successful, you must have a good working knowledge of walleye habits/habitat, best baits& lures, and consistent techniques to find them and get them in your boat. There is a lot of water out there and your target walleye will only be interested in a very small part of it. Dropping your lures just anywhere is not likely to be productive. It is not easy to replace the knowledge and experience of a guide, but it is not nuclear science either. It usually takes a few years of Canadian experience to learn the ways of the lake and the walleye. However, a little research, study, plus a little sense of adventure can go a long way toward you being able to find and catch walleye — on your own.

If you are venturing out on a remote lake in a boat, you will need safe and sound boating techniques. In addition, you would be well advised to know any navigation hazards and be prepared to handle possible events like boat/motor breakdowns and severe weather. Large lakes will require a good, detailed map in the boat and the common sense to use it.

Summary

No matter which way you choose to experience a Canadian walleye (or other species) fishing trip, you and your buddies or family will have a great time. Rookies or experienced veterans can plan and fine tune a trip that fits like a glove. There is something about these pristine lakes, dotted with islands of all sizes, and surrounded by miles of uninhabited boreal forests that is both invigorating and calming. No excuses…start planning today!

Walleye fish are great night stalkers. Hence their names and naming. It’s no accident that the word and phrase “eye” works into every known variation of the Walleyes nomenclature and great fishing legends.

Indeed many Walleye fisherman look for those great iridescent cats like eyes in the nighttime fishing waters.

Much of what might be called the Walleye fish’s legends and seemingly mysterious, spooky, sets of behaviors can well be explained to great detail by their most acute and highly accurate night time vision. Finely tuned, fully lateral line sense along with sharp hearing adds to the hunting strike mix for this favorite prey of anglers and game cooks as well.

Specifically if one examines the mechanics of a Walleye or Canadian Pickerel/s great visual acuity and precision it all boils down to a special and specific layer of reflective pigment in the specie’s retina. Called by biologists and zoologists as the “tapetum lucidum”, this highly specialized organ gives Walleyes and Pickerel fish a huge built in advantage. They can see in dim, dusty light. However their victims, their prey at hand cannot. Thus fish for Walleye and Walleyes; it is best and preferred to conduct your serious fishing expeditions at night and in the late evening time periods.

It is no accident that experienced anglers will inform fishing neophytes that you will almost never catch sight of a good sized Walleye in the day time periods. If you are really serious about your Walleye or Pickerel fishing career, and want to land those “big ones’, the giant trophy sized fish specimens, you can consider it would be better to spend your days in the bar, telling your fish stories at length and your tales of how your regularly won Manitoba master anglers awards, again and again. Because of their exceptionally sensitive eye makeup’s, Walleyes are similar to people who must wear dark sunglasses throughout the day. They as a rule shun and avoid sunlight and bright light.

Hence with their greatly light sensitive visual acuity organs, Walleyes will avoid sunlight. Indeed it can be said that absolutely cannot tolerate sunlight and bright lights.

If the water and waters are clear, and there are no shade possibilities in the “shallows “or” the narrows”, Walleye may go as deep afield as 40 feet deep (fully 12 feet), in the water to escape what might be called deadly or irritating rays. Because, to inflame and irritate these precious tools of the Walleye fish would greatly interfere with their abilities to hunt prey, and even survive and flourish as dominant game fish in a given lake or watershed areas.

Modern scientific testing has discerned a number of Walleye traits and innate abilities and skills that directly relate to successful Walleye and Pickerel fish successful trophy fish catching and landing days and events.

First Walleye fish have strong “lateral line” motion and placement senses and sensation. Pickerel and Walleye fish can detect artificial lures in deep or murky water via ultra sensitive nerve ending along each side of the fish’s body. Secondly Walleyes have acute hearing. Fishing in water ten feet of depth or less – then anchor your boat, carefully and quietly. Cast to those fish in centrally located areas of water. Avoid trolling for fish, especially with an outboard motor.

Good luck and have fun fishing. Catch those trophy size Walleye.

Walleye fishing tips with Artificials, Lures

When fishing for walleye the complete walleye fisherman must be proficient with walleye lures as well as live bait. Although like bait accounts for the majority of walleyes caught by angling, there are many times when  artificials work better.

Here’s a good walleye fishing tip, when walleyes are scattered for instance, trolling or casting lures for walleye enables you to cover a lot water quickly. Once you find a school and catch the aggressive fish the action slows. But you may be able to catch a few more by switching to live bait.

One of the best ways to find fish in unfamiliar waters when fishing for walleye is by trolling with lures. Make sure you keep a keen eye when you are following structure lines. Look for points and inside turns on the breakline, areas of hard bottom and schools of fish.Make sure you have spot markers on your boat and when you get a strike or locate a potential spot toss out a marker so you can return later.

When you are fishing in fast moving current and rivers or waters that are murky with low clarity, walleye artificial lures and jigs work better then live bait. Here’s one of the walleye fishing tips every savvy walleye fisherman should know. Walleyes in current do not have much time to inspect food. they learn to strike at any movement or flash. Understanding the water clarity of the waters you intend to fish is so very important. for example walleye in murky water can only see a few inches, but they can hear and feel vibrations.

There are some significant reasons some walleye fisherman pick lures when fishing for walleye at night. When you are fishing for walleye at night you need to understand that walleyes can spot the moving silhouette of a artificial lure against the water’s surface much easier then say live bait moving slowly along the bottom. Lets not forget too it’s much easier to fish artificials at night because you do not have to bait your hook.

If you are fishing for walleye when they are in a feeding binge, artificial lures and jigs are the way to fish. You will more walleye quicker then using live bait. In the time it would take to remove your old minnow and hook on a fresh one, you can cast a lure and possibly catch another fish.

The choice is yours fishing live bait or artificials, both are good choices for certain situations. Make sure you read my articles on walleye fishing lures, the basics.

Ontario walleye fishing is a very popular pastime for vacationers to the province in Canada. In fact, because there are so many fine fishing locations to cater to this desire, a number of prestigious, accommodating resorts have been built for visiting anglers from all parts of the globe. In fact, as there are over 70,000 fishable lakes in Ontario, fishing options never cease.

You can choose to make your vacation any one of a number of different kinds, ranging from simple drive-in resorts to deluxe boat-in locations, or you can even opt for an Ontario fishing trip that takes you to a prime fly-in lodge, where you’ll be secluded from the busy urban world in a remote area on a lake, allowing you to relax and enjoy nature. Whether you are looking for large quantities, a trophy fish, or simply a few fillets for a shore lunch, you can find what you are looking for in Ontario. Choose to rent a cabin and cook for yourself in solitude, or stay at a star resort where your meals are prepared and your every wish and desire are fulfilled.

If you are anxious to get away from society, check out your Ontario walleye fishing fly-in vacation options on the various walleye lakes. At any of these, you’ll be chartered in an out of the remote location, left to your own means for the specified period of time, and able to select your preferred fishing location on a near-private lake (most of these walleye resorts have only a few cabins on a lake that are far apart for the satisfaction of those seeking solitude).

Pickerel Arm Camp has nine different cabins, each on a different fly in lake in Northwestern Ontario, giving you total solitude from other fishermen, as well as from the hustle and bustle of every day society. The Sydney Lake Lodge is also an excellent fly in Ontario walleye fishing location, with accommodations provided in Woodland Caribou Park. Anderson’s Lodge in Northwestern Ontario promises some of the finest walleye fishing in the world, calling the Fish Lac Seul the Walleye Capital. Barber’s Resort isn’t a fly in location, but the fishing here is first-class, taking place off a series of interconnecting lakes in the Minaki area. The Winnipeg River system in the same area also plays home to the Big North Lodge and Outposts, where you can find great walleye fishing at numerous lakes, including Gun Lake, Big Sand Lake, and Little Sand Lake.

Your Fishing Technique Will Choose Your Rod

Your choice of fishing tackle for walleye particularly rods depends on your fishing for walleye technique. Walleye fisherman that try multiple fishing techniques every fishing trip will carry multiple type of fishing rods, that are set up for either walleye lures,walleye jigs or walleye live bait.

Please Review our fishing rod selections below. We hope that you use these tips to strengthen your walleye fishing technique the next time you go fishing for walleye.

When you are selecting fishing tackle specifically a rod to be used for fishing for walleye for the purpose of casting and trolling lures and live bait rigs in the 1/4 to 5/8 once range, make sure you pick a 5 1/2 – to – 6ft medium power, fast action spinning rod. This rod is the best choice for general purpose fishing.

When you intend to use small walleye jigs, and walleye lures weighing 1/16th – to 3/8 ounces for casting, make sure you choose a 5 – to – 5 1/2 foot, light power, fast action spinning rod.This rod differs from the medium power rod because when you are flipping the rod in the back position right before you release for the cast, the rod will flex,giving you extra distance which is great for smaller size walleye baits and lures.

If you intend to purchase walleye fishing rods to cast and troll large deep diving walleye crank baits and live bait rigs more than 1/2 once in size than I suggest a 5 1/2- to 6ft, medium power, fast action bait casting walleye rod. This rod is much better for trolling than a spinning rod because of it’s stiffness. You may want to look at rods that are equipped with a line counter if you are going to be using it primarily for trolling.

For you live bait walleye anglers, pick a 6 to 7ft light power, medium action spinning rod. This rod will cast much further than a shorter stiffer rod.

Walleyes are notoriously soft biters. When you are selecting your fishing tackle to be used for walleye ,sensitivity should be a major consideration in choosing your walleye fishing rods.You will notice when you start shopping for rods that the rods marked “fast action” will generally be much more sensitive, than the slower action rods. I would suggest that you purchase your walleye fishing rods constructed of graphite. These rods transmit vibrations and are very sensitive to the slightest bite.

Other features that improve a fishing rod’s ability to transmit vibrations include a blank that extends all the way through the rod handle; one piece construction;and light weight, single-foot guides, ferrules and double foot guides add weight and tend to restrict the rods action. Just remember to follow these simple steps when purchasing quality rods to be used when fishing for walleye. They may save you some time, money and frustration.

Go ahead and do some research obtaining the list of state and providence record walleyes and you see that most of them were caught in rivers. River fishing walleye is by far the best place to fish if you are looking for trophy size walleye.Rivers do not get the same fishing pressure that lakes get so they tend to hold stable populations, and produce larger walleye.

Many Walleye fisherman spend their time river walleye fishing when cold fronts have slowed the fishing in close by lakes. For some reason, river walleyes are not effected as much from cold fronts as lake walleye. Also, head to the rivers in late summer when walleye fishing begins to slow down because of rising temperatures and plenty of natural food to eat.Lake walleyes will be scattered as the water starts it’s fall turnover, unlike the river walleye where they will be feeding the same summertime places.

Portions of rivers to the north will have open water present throughout the winter months. The tail-waters of dams, and warm water discharges will offer open water walleye fishing all winter long.

The new walleye angler typically has more trouble learning river walleye fishing then learning to fish in lakes. A large percentage of rookies do very poorly on their first river fishing trip and they get discouraged and do not come back.To be successful on rivers you need to do some homework and learn how the current and water levels effect the walleye on that particular river.

Walleyes can tolerate some current but for only short periods of time. They need some type of a current break where they can rest if they are going to stay in a strong current area of the river. As a rule of thumb, you can eliminate approximately 75% of the water in rivers because the current is to strong for walleyes to hold in.

Look for downstream current breaks,pools right off the path of the main current, and downstream current breaks such as Islands, or large rock formations. Don’t make the mistake of only searching for walleye downstream. If you find rock formations or water obstructions and they provide a current break, chances are they will hold populations of walleye.

The holy grail of river walleye fishing are the current edges. These are as important to finding walleyes in rivers as structure is to finding walleye in lakes. The river walleye will go into the current looking for food, then dart back into the slack water adjacent to the current to rest.

Experienced river walleye anglers know the ideal time to fish for walleye is when water levels are low, there is good water clarity and stable water flow. When water levels are stable, and the water is clear walleyes are predicable and will located in well known areas of the river.

If you are going to go river walleye fishing when the river is rising to be successful you need to know where the walleye go under these conditions. Many times if you find these areas the fishing will be outstanding! when the water rises, Walleye will often go into a feeding frenzy, because of all the worms and insects that are washed into the river after the rains.

5 Successful Walleye Fishing Tips for Rivers are location, speed, direction, presentation and depth.  Let’s explore all of these characteristics now.

1.  River Walleye Fishing Locations

Out west we walleye fish a lot on the Columbia River.  It’s a big river and if you are new to it, then it is best to find a map, study it, mark your hot spots and head out to the river to see if you are correct. While you are on the river, look at the other boats and it won’t take long to determine if they are walleye fishing, bass fishing or sturgeon fishing. Pay attention to the walleye fisherman not for presentation sake, but to find the locations. If you notice one boat in an area for an extended period of time, chances are good they are catching walleye.  Usually it is a drift or trolling method and it’s not that hard to get your boat positioned in the drift.

Walleye Fishing hot spots can change from year to year.  What was once a great hot spot is now dead as a piece of drift wood.  You are smart enough to know that walleye migrate to spots that contain easy food and a bolder or two to rest behind during the day.  My personal favorite locations to catch river walleye is to find a bend in the river and fish it.  Next is finding islands that have considerable drop offs on one side.

2.  River Walleye Fishing Locations

Using our fish finder we will begin bouncing bottom walkers at about 2 mph.  If the current is stronger we will slow down our troll and if the current is slower then obviously we will speed up.  During the summer and early fall, it really doesn’t matter how fast you go, these fish will nail it, if you can get it within a reasonable distance from their resting spot.

3.  River Walleye Fishing Directions

Direction is critical if you are in the main body of the river.  Using bottom bouncers and trying to move upstream is very hard, therefore we always head downstream with bottom bouncers. If you want to pull crankbaits, then it’s best to troll upstream.  That is why we have at least 2 rods in the boat when we are walleye fishing.  One is used for bottom bouncing and the other is used for crankbaits.

4.  River Walleye Fishing Presentations

Presentations are straightforward.  Either the walleye will see a crankbait or it will see a crawler harness.  When we use a crawler harness our goal is to allow enough worm beyond the last hook to make sure it will wiggle.  When we use smiley blades we cut the worms in half and when we use blades we use a whole worm.

5.  River Walleye Fishing Depths

Depth is another key factor in your success rate.  Depth is always changing depending on where you fish and the surrounding structure.  The Columbia River is a long winding river and depths can change from 10 feet all the way to 300 ft.  Prime walleye waters are dependent of food sources.  Think like a minnow for a minute and tell me where you would want to hang out for safety and to find food sources.  During the evening hours where can you go to hide from Mr. Walleye.

I’ve caught walleye on the Columbia in depths of 8 feet all the way down to 100 feet.  Generally we catch most of our fish in the 30 foot range.

We’ve had many fishing trips that started out by targeting bass only to catch a bountiful harvest of walleye and we’ve had days when we target walleye only to catch bass and perch.  During September one of our favorite things to do is multi-species.  That means we will target steelhead in the am hours and then fish for walleye in the pm hours.  The past 2 years we have been able to catch walleye bigger than the steelhead we caught earlier in the day.  That’s the beauty of the Columbia River, it contains all sorts of fish and it is basically very hard to go home empty handed.

By Julie M Katakis

It’s early March and the Ice has finally broken, or maybe, like this spring there was no ice to speak of. Anyone with a Sander Vitreus addiction, has for months already, been sorting jigs and grub tails. You have been checking and re-checking your tools, snips, jig eye cleaner, pliers, net. Your tackle box is in pristine condition, for the upcoming event, that you have been pacing your sport room in anticipation for. You have re-spooled all of your precision casting instruments with your go-to line and have probably even made up dozens of Carolina rigs just to make certain you are ready.

There are many of you that are new to this addiction, and I hope that you find the information that I will be sharing to be of some benefit. I will give you a little history on this predatory fish that many of us have been hunting for years. In two previous articles, I covered safety and necessary gear.

I will retouch on both just so that you have a full picture of what you’re about to engage yourself in. When you are finished reading this article, I hope that I will have generated enough enthusiasm about this addiction, to make you run out and gear up. I am certain that with the information that I will be sharing, you will have the basic tools necessary, to be able to walk down to the banks of the Mighty Maumee River and learn for yourself, what that head-shake, that many of us know already, can do to your soul.

I have been fishing the spring Walleye Run, down at the Maumee River for about 20 years, give or take a year or two. I was fortunate to have a father that knew the importance, of teaching us about the outdoors. I learned how to fish, as soon as I was old enough to hold a fishing pole in my hands.

My father instilled first and foremost safety near the water. Most importantly however, he taught us that it is good to enjoy the sport of fishing, but it was of the utmost importance, to only take what you need. He always made certain that we were aware of, and abided by, the laws and regulations of where ever we went to fish. I task everyone that heads down to fish this epic event to do the same. The laws and regulations that our Department of Natural Resources has set in place, are there to ensure futures and futures of fishing for those of us that do it. I can assure you, that if I see you pulling more than your limit, I will turn you in. If I see you stringing a foul hooked fish, you guessed it, I am going to turn you in.

While some of you may think this is harsh, I can assure you that more often than not, I won’t have to go out of my way to get you off the river. During the Spring Maumee River Walleye Run, Ohio DNR pulls officers from the entire state to supervise this event. You may not see the DNR officers, but I can assure you, they can see you. They sit in trees camouflaged with cameras. They set up blinds in the tree line and watch. They will even stand in the hole next to you, and pretend that they are snagging and keeping foul hooked fish, just to make you think it is ok. So, what am I trying to say here? Follow the rules and you will have nothing to worry about.

Something to remember, about wader fishing, is to use a LOT of common sense! Make sure that you are dressed properly for the water temperature, which most often is about 20 degrees colder than the air temperature. Wearing clothing such as wool, synthetic fleece or polypropylene as your layers will help preserve your body temperature if you take a dunk in the drink.

Wearing a good quality pair of chest waders, with the belt cinched at the waistline outside of the waders, will help prevent the waders from filling with water, in the event that you go down in the river. Water weighs about 8 pounds per gallon and waders filled with freezing cold river water, will definitely impede your walk back to the shoreline.

Consider carrying a walking stick or wading staff to provide balance. Let your friends or family know of expected departure and return times while on a fishing trip or out on a boat. Be prepared to handle an emergency should one arise. Be VERY aware of the current while wading out. By keeping your body parallel with the current, you will remove some of the pressure, of the water rushing against you. Do not enter in too deep of water and maintain good footing.

Wearing a life jacket or other flotation device is not shameful. Enter the water slowly. Running into the water should never be an option, especially down at the Maumee River. The bottom of that river can be treacherous. Lastly, have a dry change of clothes. These things that I just mentioned can make or break your trip.

The more that you know about the fish that you are targeting, the more likely you will be able to present exactly what it is looking for. Walleye are large predatory fish and have mouths full of sharp teeth. They belong to the Perch family and are known by many names, including yellow pike, pike-perch, walleyed pike, jack salmon, white salmon and in this area “Eyes.” Walleye are closely related to Sauger but have very different body characteristics.

The body color of Walleye is typically olive, gray or silver compared to the bronze or brown colors of a Sauger. (1) Walleye have dark saddle patterns over their backs, which can be seen on the upper part of their sides as thin vertical bars. Walleye also have large, bright white areas, near the lower part of their tail and anal fins. The first dorsal fin has no spots and the membrane between the spines is not clear like a Sauger. Saugeye occur when a male Sauger has fertilized a female walleye’s eggs. This hybrid was produced by the Ohio Division of Wildlife and is frequently stocked in reservoirs.

Walleye are carnivorous. This means they will eat other fish. Young walleye, feed on zooplankton and insect larvae for several months, before engaging in a diet of small fish. (2)The male walleye gather even though the water temperature may be only a few degrees above freezing and actual spawning time is a month or more away.

Walleye belong to the Percidae Family; Perch and Darters. A typical adult Walleye will go 14″-22″ but can reach lengths of 36″. They will weigh in around 2-4 pounds but can reach weights of 16 pounds. Their main diets consist of Gizzard Shad and other small fish. I hope that I have your attention now!

Females will begin moving in several weeks later, or when the water temperature reaches the upper 30s to low 40s. Walleye begin spawning when the water temperatures are between 40 and 55 degrees. The Maumee River usually reaches those temperatures around the third week of March. Sometimes the temperatures will remain optimal for spawning through the first couple of weeks of May.

The actual spawning takes place at night, in groups of one large female and one or two smaller jacks or two females and numerous jacks. Male Walleye are not territorial. Unlike many fish, walleye do not build a nest before spawning. They are what we consider “free-spawners.”

Prior to spawning, there is a lot of pursuit, pushing, circular swimming, and fin erection. Finally, the spawning group rushes upward, into shallow water and stops. When the female walleye rolls onto her side and releases the eggs, the jack simultaneously releases the fertilizing milt. The female walleye will typically deposit most of her eggs in one night of spawning. Female walleye seek out the riffle areas of tributary streams or over the gravel to boulder-sized rocks in reef areas, of Lake Erie to deposit their eggs. Fertilized eggs weigh more than the water and tend to fall into crevices between rocks in the river or lake bottom. They will stick to the rocks, pebbles and other debris on the bottom. The eggs hatch in about 10 days. Females can lay as many as 400,000 eggs. How many she lays will depend on her body weight. Per pound a healthy egg bearing female will drop anywhere from 23,000-50,000 eggs.

Walleye prefer clear to slightly turbid waters of large lakes and rivers such as the Maumee River. The greatest abundance occur over reefs, shoals of gravel, bedrock, and other firm bottoms. In the past, Walleye were abundant in Lake Erie, the Ohio River and many of their larger tributaries. In March 2004, the size limit was mandated by Ohio Department of Natural Resources, to a 15 inch minimum year-round, to protect immature fish.

Spawning may take up to three weeks. Males will typically remain in the area for a short time. After spawning the female will not feed for up to two weeks. After this period of time, they begin a fast and furious feeding pattern.

Both adults will return to deeper water, offering no protection for the eggs. Of the total amount of eggs laid, only 5 to 20% will actually hatch. Reasons for not hatching include cold-water temperatures, heavy winds blowing them onshore or silt covering the eggs. 1996 saw one of the most productive hatches.

I would like to make a few points about Walleye Run Etiquette. Try to remember first and foremost that we’re all here to have a good time and catch our limit. Unless I know you or have invited you to go to my spot, it is NOT okay to fish in my pocket. There is an entire river full of fish during the spawn and really no reason to be stepping on my toes, unless of course you’re trying to kiss me, in which case, your man card will get pulled because, there is no kissing in fishing.

There are a few of you gentlemen that think just because you have seen me land fish after fish, you have a right to move into my hole. Believe me when I say that this is not the case. Either wait your turn, or move down the banks. If I only take 10 steps from shore, do NOT stand next to me and take 30 to get in front of me, you will probably get drilled with lead. Avoid letting your line drift 30 people down…there is No excuse for you to be that far away from me snagging my waders with your jig.

Boaters, it is NOT okay for you to anchor 5 feet away from me upstream and fish…stay with the boat pack in the middle, that’s why you have a boat. If you want to come on out to the shore and fish, please go put your boat away first.

We’re all after the same results, keeping our hooks out of the rocks, whether you’re fishing old school with lead heads or with the newer floating jig method. Success depends on casting placement and retrieval method. To begin with, after you have safely entered the water, start by standing with your shoulders parallel with the current. I will try to position myself so that I am facing slightly upstream of actually being parallel. Never face directly up or downstream, especially when the water is high and the current is strong, or if you’re out fishing in “The Pack.” You are just asking for troubles that you don’t want or need.

Typically, I cast slightly upstream. I have found that casting slightly upstream may allow me a few seconds of additional time in the strike zone. I will use variances of casting straight out or slightly downstream, provided my surroundings will accommodate such casts. Even the slightest variation in the trajectory of a cast can make a huge difference on where your jig is ending up, as well as, whether or not a walleye is in position to see and hit it. I recommend trying different casting angles if your surroundings permit. Just be aware that normally the further upstream you are casting, the greater your chances are of snagging that treacherously rocky bottom.

Another area of experimentation should be with casting distances. When I first started fishing the walleye run, I thought, if they weren’t biting, then I must need to cast farther out. After words of wisdom from my father and years of practice, I found that this is NOT always the case…as a matter of fact it’s rarely EVER the case. Chances are the walleye are directly in front of you, sometimes right under your feet, and for those of you standing in the middle of the river, you better believe they are behind you! Try to remember, that the more line you have out…the less sensitivity you have trying to feel what is going on with your jig.

Speaking of experimenting, the question of colors is age-old and has as many answers, as there are lucrative combinations. There is one thing that is for certain, the only colors that Walleye can actually identify as color are RED, ORANGE, YELLOW and GREEN. Now, with that being said, contrast plays a much bigger part on catching your limit than does the colors that you choose. More often than not, I will use either a solid color jig head with a multi-colored grub tail, or vice versa. Having this additional contrast has definitely proved to be effective for me.

There are different times of the day that different combinations will be more appealing to the fish than others. There are many variables that will make one combination more lucrative than others as well. One of these would be sunlight skies or overcast skies. In a full on sunshine day, Walleye will tend to sit at the bottom virtually motionless. Throw some overcast clouds on the river and they’ll be up high, ferociously feeding. The sunlight or clouds will also affect how your rig appears to them. As I said before, having a good contrast of colors or colors that contrast against the stained Maumee River waters is my best advice.

I have seen some crazy rigs being used down there; to each his own I guess. The most common and most lucrative rig that I have used is the Carolina Rig with a floating jig head. Something to keep in mind, no matter what you choose to throw, your hook cannot be more than 1/2″ from point to shank and treble hooks are illegal during this time.

The set up is simple and can be pre-tied. The tackle that you will need to make a Carolina Rig is:

• Floating jig heads
• Lead jig heads ~ painted or unpainted
• 1/8 oz – 5/8 oz (depending on water turbidity)
• Bucktail jigs
• Plastic grub ribbon tails (typically 3 inch)
• Plastic paddle tail grubs
• Plastic double tail grubs
• Lead weight ~ no snag, trolling, rubber core, split shot, egg sinker
• Swivels ~ barrel and ball bearing
• Plastic beads
• Monofilament or fluorocarbon leader

I will typically tie on right there on the spot if necessary. My preference is 10 lb Suffix Elite Lo-Vis Green on my spool, which is my main line, and an 8 lb Fluorocarbon leader. I like PLine fluorocarbon. It has tremendous abrasion resistance and amazing sensitivity. There are a couple different ways to put this rig together. The first is using a trolling sinker. A trolling sinker is somewhat of an oval and has a swivel on each end. In this instance you are not using it to actually troll. If, like me you choose to use the Palomar Knot, you will want to tie your leader onto one end of the sinker first. Your leader length is going to vary and is typically going to be anywhere from 12″ – 6′. The only way you’re going to know how long of a leader you need is trial and error, unless the guy or girl catching fish next to you is nice enough to tell you what they’re using.

The way that you determine leader length is by knowing where the deep holes are and their approximate depth. To help you visualize what is happening in the water, think of it this way; as your sinker tick, tick, ticks along the bottom, your floating jig is suspended and following behind the sinker. The length of your leader is going to determine where in the water your jig is. The shorter your leader, the closer to the bottom your jig will be. The longer the leader is, the higher up toward the surface your jig will be. Something else to keep in mind is that as your sinker drops into a deep hole, you jig goes down along with it. All of this should help you figure out how long your leader should be, well, this and a lot of experimenting. I will usually start out with a longer leader and clip it as necessary.

Alright, back to putting the Walleye Death rig together. After you have tied your leader to one end of the trolling sinker, your next step is to tie the other end to your mainline. Again, this is the way that I do it using Palomar Knots. If you don’t know what a Palomar Knot is right now, don’t worry, I’ll give you a play-by-play of it in a little bit. You are now ready to tie your floating jig onto the other end of your leader and add your grub tail to the hook. The grub tail will be fed onto the hook nose first. You want the hook to exit just above the grub tail. Make sure you keep the grub butted up against the actual head of the jig.

The second variation of the rig used is by using an egg sinker, plastic bead and swivel. The first step is to tie your leader onto the swivel (if you’re using the Palomar Knot) Next, choose your egg sinker weight. The weight you choose should be matched to how high and fast the river is moving. If the river is low and slow-moving, you will want a much lighter weight than if it is high and fast. Slide the egg sinker onto the main line from your pole followed by a plastic bead. A plastic bead you ask? This keeps the egg sinker from slamming into your knot on the swivel. That constant slamming can destroy your knot and cause your line to snap at inopportune moments. Now you are ready to tie your main line to the other end of the swivel that has your leader on it. Once all of this is complete, you’re ready to tie on your jig head and put on your grub and fish.

I try to keep the gear that I am dragging around to a minimum. Rod, reel, line & tackle, along with an extra warm, dry shirt and rain gear if there is a chance of rain or inclement weather. I am not a big fan of having to lug my sporting room down to the river with me, so I sort my tackle the night before and take what I will need for a few hours of being down there. I will leave extra gear and tackle in my car just in case.

I prefer using a longer, faster action rod. I have both 7′ and 7’6″ medium power graphite rods. The casting distance that I get from the longer length is tremendous. The sensitivity is there as well. My reel is a larger 4000 size spinning reel, which is equivalent to a reel that is rated for up to 12 lb mono. Some other tools and gear that are necessary are:

• Waders
• Stringer
• Landing net
• Long nose pliers
• Snips

I talked about gear and safety at greater lengths, in previous articles, which of course I recommend that you read. I do want to cover some instructions for tying a Palomar Knot though, because I feel that It is one of the most secure and durable knots to use down there. I also recommend that you look it up online to get a visual of how it’s done. There are many sites that offer knot information. The reason I choose the Palomar is because unlike most knots, you have 2 strands of line through the jig eye instead of only one like with the Anglers Knot. It is also a knot that can be tied with any line. The following should get you on your way to learning how to tie the Palomar Knot:

Feed your line through the eye. Bring it back and feed it through the same way again. You should have a loop in one hand and your main line and tag end in the other. The jig should move freely between both hands on the line. Tie an overhand knot in the doubled line being careful not to cinch down yet. You want to make sure that you do not have the lines crossed as this will cause them to cut into each other. Pass your jig through the loop and bring the loop up, making sure that the line on the eye is all up near the top. Then pull on the hook, the standing line, and the tag end of the line to tighten the knot. Snug down tightly around the eyelet and clip the tag end.

Okay, so, we’re in the river, shoulders parallel with the current, our first cast is slightly upstream about 15 feet out…what now?? Well, the first thing you’re going to feel is what you’ll swear is a fish hitting your jig. I can promise you it’s NOT a fish…more than likely it’s your weight hitting every rock on the way downstream.

So you ask how do I know when to set my hook?? The answer to that, I’m certain varies, as much as grub tail color choice. My answer is, as you feel the “tick, tick, tick,” of your weight going downstream pay close attention to that feel. If at any point during that, you stop feeling the “tick, tick, tick” of the weight hitting the rocks, it may be because a walleye has your jig in its mouth, SET YOUR HOOK. When I say set your hook, I do NOT mean yank so hard you rip the fish’s face off, because I can guarantee, if it’s a rock or snag fish, you’re likely to bust your rod.

Once you’ve set the hook, feel for the unmistakable head-shake. If you got that, you’re in business. If not, let your jig continue downstream into the line’s drift. This is when your line can go no further and your jig is fluttering in the current at the end of it. This is likely when most novice or beginning walleye fishermen or women are going to actually FEEL a walleye hit their line. The hook set is the same as if you were bouncing downstream. If you feel that head-shake, you’re good to go. Start reeling.

Now I recommend you pay attention to the drag on your reel. You don’t want it set so tight that you’re going to snap your line on hook set, but you also don’t want it so loose that your hook will fail to set. Before casting you should test where your drag is at by tugging on your line. Once you have it set at a mediate level is when I would start casting. During your retrieve, if more line is going out than you are reeling in, chances are your drag is set too loose, tighten it up slowly.

After a few head-shakes, a walleye will typically go limp causing you to do more current fighting than fish fighting. No worries, at some point, the jack’s head will come up out of the water, gills fanned out like a dragon. The second he see’s where he’s headed he’s likely to give you one last battle and attempt at escaping your net.

You’ve felt the pull and have confidently reeled in a beautiful 22-inch, three-and-a-half pound walleye. You just want a picture, but it’s putting up quite the fight, and that jaw full of teeth is nowhere near inviting. Knowing how to handle a walleye can save you from serious injuries to yourself as well as the fish. If you palm the back of the fish’s head, extending your fingers and thumb down the sides, you will have a firm grip. The gill plates on a walleye are razor-sharp and their teeth are just as vicious. Holding the fish by its eyes or gills can cause life threatening injuries to the fish. Also, do what you can to keep the walleye in the water as much as you are able.

If you intend on stringing the catch, first and foremost, make certain that you’re hooked legal. Legal equals from the inside to the outside of the mouth. If you’re hooked any other way, or anywhere else on the fish, kindly remove your tackle and release the fish. This could save you hundreds of dollars and spare you your gear. Ohio DNR take their jobs and our Walleye run very seriously. If you’re hooked legal and the fish is 15 inches or longer and preferably a jack, it’s time to string him. I personally don’t like the rope stringers. I use the metal chain stringers. Once that rope is slid through the walleye’s gills, there is no releasing the fish back to the waters. By using the metal chain stringers, you will hook the fish through its jaw and do much less harm if it becomes necessary to put him back. Why would you put a walleye back? It’s called Culling. As you fish you may hook into a larger fish than what’s on your stringer. By using the chain stringers you will be able to return the smaller fish back to the waters safely and take possession of the larger fish.

I’m sure that you noticed me saying I preferred you only keep jacks. This is the way that I was brought up. The reason for this is that the more females that are left to spawn, the more likely this past-time will continue to be a lucrative, freezer filling event. Since females tend to be larger, a lot of you are keeping them to hang on your wall. If you’re looking for trophies, I recommend hitting Lake Erie during the summer when catching a 10 lb jack is what’s on the menu.

I hope that what I have shared will help you not only choose gear, but make you able to go down and fish the Maumee River Walleye Run safely and effectively. I hope that pointing out some conservation issues will give some of you a better understanding of why some laws are in place and make it easier for you to follow them. A lot of times, articles are read and questions are raised, with no way of asking the writer what was meant. I would love to answer your questions. My author box provides information on one contact point and there is always the messaging system here on Ezine.com. Thank you for your enthusiasm and hope to see you on the water.
