Are there any walleyes in California. If so, where. There were an abundant number of northern pike in Davis Lake (Outside of Sacramento) that were eradicated by Fish and Game as predators to the salmon and trout population. I have not found anywhere in CA that produces Walleyes. If CA is unproductive, what neighboring states have walleyes? Thanks

You are right! There is no Walleye fishing in California. If I had an idea where you live in California, it would be easier to give you some good ideas about where to go as far as neighboring states are concerned, but since you failed to mention that, I will just give you a run down of some places you can check out, and give you some information about fishing for walleye seasonally. F irst, Lets explore seasonal walleye fishing tips: Spring: Fish for walleye using top baits such as plastic worms, small jigs, and crankbaits. Stick to the shallows (where the walleye will spawn) paying close attention to points, humps under the water, and gravel ledges. Summer: Use plastic worms, jigs, and smaller crankbait. In the from dusk until dawn, fish shallow, but during the day you are going to have to go deeper. Use any lure that acts and looks like a minnow, particularly wounded minnows. Just follow the rocky, or graveled structure, moving deeper until you find the proper depth. Fall: Use jigs and spoons as well as crankbaits. From dusk to dawn, fish shallow, but move out to deeper areas with the sunrise. Winter: Use plastic worms, spoons, and jigs. Fish semi shallow in the morning, but go deeper with the sunrise. Be sure to move your bait slower than you would in warmer weather, because the cold slows the walleye down. In Arizona, you can fish for walleye, but your choices are pretty limited. Try Fools Hollow Lake, Show Low Lake, and Upper Lake Mary for a good shot at catching walleye. In Nevada, try Lake Lahontan (State record was pulled from Lahontan) Lake Mohave, Lake Mead, and Rye Patch Reservoir. In Oregon, try the Columbia River. Some of the best walleye fishing in the country takes place on the Columbia. Brownlee Lake is a premier walleye hotspot, as do most other lakes and rivers in the state. In Utah: Try Provo River, Deer Creek Reservoir, Sevier Bridge Reservoir, Jordanelle Reservoir, Utah Lake, Starvation Lake, and Lake Powell. All in all, your best bet to catch walleye in a state bordering California is in Nevada.
