Walleye Fishing Canada

A challenge to catch, a pleasure to eat...

Walleye fishing Canada! The most popular freshwater game fish in Canada is the beloved walleye. And for good reason. Not only does the walleye put up a terrific fight, but they are right at home in a frying pan! This is one tasty fish.

Oh, but the eyes.

The eyes are fantastic. When you understand how they work, you begin to understand why fishing for walleye in Canada is so popular.



walleye fishing canada, walleye fishing trip, walleye fishing, how to catch walleye, walleye fishing tips The walleye has a membrane called the tapetum lucidum behind its retina. The sole purpose of the tapetum is to reflect and gather light. It is this membrane that makes the walleye such a strong predator. It allows the walleye to see in light conditions that other fish (and prey) simply cannot.

Advantage walleye.

The walleye typically hunts at dusk and at dawn. The dim light at these times of day make the walleye’s prey an easy target. We have a pile of walleye strategies that play to this strength and will help you maximize your success on the water.

But beyond the eyes, this tasty fish has other things going for it as well. Its curved teeth add to its reputation as a predator. Prey caught in the grip of a walleye’s grasp has little to no chance of escape.

Walleye also have sensitive nerve endings that run down the side of its body. This gives the walleye a jump on finding its prey because it can detect the smallest of vibrations in the water. Walleye primarily feed on smaller fish (including smaller walleye), but will feed on whatever the lake or river have to offer - insects, leeches, frogs - even small mammals.

Catching walleye on a remote northern lake is one of the best experiences you will ever have. The walleye grow large and strong in many regions of Canada. Often the best lakes are inaccessible by road and can only be reached by air.

And it seems the colder the water, the better they taste.

If you are considering a Canada walleye fishing trip, you are on the right track. The Canadian north, the fish and the fight is something you will always remember.

Thanks for reading.

Good fishing.
