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.

At daytime and during early spring, those fishing will likely have a large catch of younger fish. They get them easily at the beds. During these periods, big females are usually at the deeper portions. Those who are after hunting larger sizes should go fishing in places where the fish do not spawn. That is in deeper sections. These big fish prefer deep parts.

As a fisherman, you ought to know the areas you will likely get a big hunt. When fishing during spring, do not forget to put on a small rapala. At this time, troll slowly along the line of the shore. Most of your catch will be around four feet inside. Again remember that they prefer red, chartreuse, fire tiger and blue colors.

As you continue trolling, you will get to a point where you will hit them. Begin preparations because most are here. Stop the boat there and begin casing. Do not troll severally at that point because you will likely scare them. They immediately stop the feeding and begin to 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.

During periods of summer, they will go deeper. Some stay in the river mouths and in the layoff areas of rocks. Rock drops are their other favorite area. For the lakes with flat structure, they will tend to hide in thick weeds to get protection. At this time, the sun is hot. This is why they disappear from the shores.
