Spring walleye fishing in Canada produces a catch in large numbers. The summer can remain hot, particularly in the north. And fall walleye fishing can yield the biggest trophies of the year. The good news is walleye can be caught relatively easily no matter the season.

Walleye tend to gather at underwater reefs throughout rivers and lakes as the spring turns to summer. They prefer light currents and hard gravel bottoms and are commonly found in depths up to 12 meters. The structure of the bottom, the "feed" in the lake and the murkiness of the water will all impact your walleye strategy.

Jigging for walleye remains the most popular method of catching this game fish. Bait, colors and location are all variables you need to manage. Conditions can change from day to day and hour to hour. You need to recognize that the walleye’s interest in color and size of lure can change at the drop of a hat.

The thrill of a walleye strike really gets the adrenaline pumping. But the real reward comes after the catch. There is nothing like a plate of freshly cooked Canadian walleye. They make a terrific meal.

We have some terrific strategies for those who want to know how to catch walleye. Arm yourself with the same knowledge as the seasoned anglers from this website, and have the time of your life the next time you’re out!

Thanks for reading.

Good fishing.
