Walleye Con't
If you are using strong lights, keep them at a good distance from where you are fishing, as the light will spook the walleye. It is always better to keep the lights low and use a flashlight if more light is needed.

Walleye fishing in the fall generally produces the best results after the sun has set. Once the fish have adjusted to their night vision, they are able to see very well. Thus the lures that work best are usually those worked closer to the surface, as this is where the fish tend to seek out their food. You can start by using a suspending jerk-bait and fishing it about half the distance to bottom. Work the bait in short jerks and let it rest for a while before the next jerk. This gives the fish time to zero in on it before it is tugged out of their strike zone. The speed that you retrieve should be varied until you find the one that gets results. If using a crank-bait, then you can let it sink slowly a few feet and start a slow retrieve.

With all the walleye that Ontario has to offer the angler, and so many bodies of water that contain the popular fish, it is no wonder that we see so many active anglers out on the lakes at this time of year with good catches and more great Canadian memories.


Garry's Fishing Tip:
Once you find the depth where the active fish are and the size they want you might change colour of your bait to improve your success. I have heard some people say that if a fish is hooked on the front hook you have the colour right, if on the back hook, try another colour. (The same might be true if a fish followed your plug without hitting it.) The idea being that a fish on the front hook hit the lure in the middle with no hesitation.
