About 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.

People need to know that during springs, these fish prefer staying in places with river currents or those close to the shore. Look for them farther from the shore, probably past ten feet. In great lakes of Canada, those fish that will not spawn in the rivers will go to the shores. Most of them will be through with spawning when the fishing season ends. They will not leave the places because they want to protect the young ones.

Once you have mounted the light jigs, be fast to catch them in the shores. Be aggressive to retrieve them because the fish are also aggressive this time. You will get better catch if you use bright colors such as chartreuse, yellow, red and white. Some of them will come there to feed. Others will be there because of bright colors. These colors tend to aggravate them. Most like white.

During daytime and the early spring, fishermen will successfully catch young males. They easily find them in the beds. At this time, the bigger females have already gone to deeper waters. The individuals with interests of having large size fish and not on numbers should find them in areas where they do not spawn. This is better in deeper parts. Bigger females have preference for the deeper 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.
