WALLEYE

Rivers good for walleyes early in spring

Although there is still plenty of ice-fishing going on, some anglers throughout the Midwest are already enjoying open water fishing. They’re on rivers, and they’re fishing for walleyes. Walleyes will eat a bait year ‘round. While they will get more aggressive later in the year as the water temperatures rise, right now can be a good time to get in on the action. The walleyes are willing to bite, they can be found in good numbers in certain areas, and it’s always fun to get the boat in the water for the first open water fishing trip of the year. Here’s how you can get in on the action.

They can be shallow, suspended, in mid-depths, or in deep water. If we want to experience success, we need to find the fish. In the autumn, walleyes will be biters.
