3.       Always use the smallest tackle possible when fishing for walleye. It will allow you to feel the bite better when they strike your line and it will ensure they don’t see your gear and swim off in the opposite direction. Using small gear will also make it easier for the walleye to take the bait and this will give you a chance to secure the hook and reel them in. Using a three-way swivel rig will greatly increase your odds of catching more fish as well.

4.       Some of the best techniques to use when fishing for the walleye are trolling, drift fishing and jig fishing because all three of these methods allow you to put the bait where you want it and this increases the odds of reeling in more fish.

5.       The best time to go fishing for this species will be anytime from late evening all the way through early morning. This is due to their great eyesight that allows them to see well in dark waters. They will also be more active when the wind is blowing enough to make the water choppy and on overcast days.

The weather has a huge effect on how the walleye will respond to your bait. Learning how they react in different weather conditions will greatly increase the amount of success you have each time you go fishing. Make note of what works best in each situation and then make it a habit to check the forecast before heading out. This way, you’ll have a good idea of which baits and tactics will work the best before you even get started.
