Successful Northern Ontario Walleye Fishing

By Nancy Gardner


People can have different scenarios of fishing the walleye. Some fishermen will go for numbers. Others choose the sizes. There are others who get happier on finding hotpots at the rocky points or at the off shores. The activity of northern Ontario Walleye fishing can get boring when you get single catch after another. You will not succeed to get a large catch by the end of your trip.

During the spring, they choose to stay where there is a river current or closer to the shore. You can find them three to ten feet from the shores. In Canadian lakes, the fish that do not spawn in river do so at the shores. By the end of the fishing season, most of them are through with spawning. They will however hang around the places to protect the beds.

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.

You also need to have awareness of special spots where you can find fish in large numbers. If you go fishing in the spring, remember to wear original and small Rapala. You then will slowly troll along shore lines. The fish are present at about four feet inside the waters. Remember that the best spring colors are red, chartreuse, blue and fire tiger.

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.

For those individuals who are normally stubborn, or those who prefer to use the older ways, then fishing in northern parts is not really exciting to them. They will go to the south. All individuals with some interests should be aware that ninety five percent of these fish stay in shallow water. However, the big ones move deeper during afternoons to get shade.

They normally go deeper in summer. Some will stay in river mouths or at the layoff points of the rocks. They also find rock drop offs to be good. In Lakes that have flat structures, they shade in the thick weeds for protection.
