Going About Northern Ontario Walleye Fishing

By Nancy Gardner


There are several scenarios of walleye fishing. Some individuals go for numbers while others go for the sizes. Others feel happier when they find hotspots at rocky points or off the shoal. Here they get to catch small walleyes. Catching one after another in Northern Ontario walleye fishing seems boring. You will not have a large catch before your trip is over.

Fishermen should be wiser and know that these types of fish prefer to live within river currents or closer to shores during spring. If you want to catch them, you should probably go past ten feet. In north Canadian lakes the fish that do not spawn in rivers go to shores. Most will be done with spawning at the end of fishing season. They however hang around to protect younger fish.

You can mount a light Jig, cash along shores and then retrieve it aggressively because the fish are very aggressive during this time. You are advised to use brighter colors like chartreuse, red, white or yellow. Those that come to feed spot the jig. Those not feeding still are attracted to bright colors. These colors aggravate them. They generally love the white color.

During the day and at early spring, fishermen mostly catch the smaller males. They can easily be found at the river beds. During the day, the big females go to the deeper waters. If you are really interested in their size and not the numbers, go fishing in the places where these fish were not spawning. Move deeper than fifteen feet. The bigger females prefer to be here.

You need to be aware of how to find the special spots where these fish are in large numbers. If you are fishing during spring, wear small and original floating Rapala and then troll slowly along the shoreline. You will find the fish at about two to four feet in water. The best colors in spring are red, blue, fire tiger and chartreuse.

As you will be trolling, you will reach a certain point and hit them. You should get prepared to catch many of them there. Stop the boat here and then start casing. If you troll several times at the place, you will scare them. They will stop feeding and disappear.

If you are that stubborn fisherman who is not ready to try anything new then you will not appreciate fishing in the north. You will believe that the south has better catch. The fishermen ought to know that during early spring; ninety five percent of these fish are shallower in the waters. During afternoons, the bigger females move deeper in order to protect themselves from the pikes and the scorching sun.

They will go deeper during summer and also stay at the river mouths or the layoff points in the rocks. The rock drop offs are good also. If a lake has flat structures, then they will prefer to stay in the thick weeds where they get better protection from the scorching sun.
