Valuable Walleye Fly Fishing Tips
By Daniel Eggertsen

Walleye fly fishing is a fun activity for anglers who are looking for a little excitement.

However, even with all of the preparation in the world no walleye will be caught if the right tips are not followed.

Here are some tips to use for the fishing trip.

The first of the tips to use is using bottom bouncer baits that feature a spinner-crawler rig. This can be useful because it can help to get into areas lower than twenty feet into the water.

This can help to find walleyes that hide deeper into the water and can work with all kinds of lures and other baits that can be used for fishing.

Using aquatic vegetation is one of the best tips to use. These are all items that are found in the water that can be used to help hide the angler from the walleye and therefore keep the walleye from running away. Floating vegetation is one of the instances of aquatic vegetation.

This is typically slop that sticks to other weeds and goes with larger plants like lily pads and coontails.

Using submerged vegetation is another way walleye fly fishing is done. These are generally going to be found underwater. Not only do these help to cover the angler but it can also attract different kinds of fish. In fact, walleye will be attracted to submerged vegetation types like weedflats.

Looking for certain types of cover in the water is also useful because fish may be hiding in there with the assumption that an angler will not get in the way. Wood is one of the best examples. One of the tips to use is to look for wood so that walleye fly fishing can begin.

Among these covers, include fallen trees, trees that grow into the water and wooden docks. Another walleye tip to use is to use eye protection when fishing. This can be used to help make it easier to find fish and it will keep the sun from getting into one's eyes.

Using polarized glasses is a great option to use. These glasses will help to reflect glare that comes from the surface of the water. It will help to make it easier to see when fishing.

Boats can be used in fly fishing at times. Having a drift boat that will be slow and comfortable is essential. However, being able to have appropriate boat control is a necessity in walleye fishing. Using control is one of the walleye fly fishing tips to use.

Back trolling, for instance, can be used and is another tip that can be helpful. Back trolling works because it helps to reduce the speed of the boat as it travels. This helps to increase the level of control of the boat that will be used for fly fishing.
