Walleye Fishing in OntarioThey often say that Ontario is Walleye Country because of the abundance of walleye hotspots that can be found within the province. This wonderful and rather delicious golden fish can be found from cottage country reservoirs in northern Ontario, to the Great Lakes, you will find this popular fish. One very common area is in the clear rivers and lakes that make up the Canadian Shield, which occupies much of Northern Ontario. Fishing of walleye in Ontario begins in the late
spring when the late-spawning walleye come in large numbers to river
mouths, inlets, shorelines that are rocky, shallow reefs, and river
holes. The walleye in this time of year are very hungry and will gladly
go after a jig tipped with a worm. The best course of action when fishing walleye within the province is to use live bait because walleye love anything live to grab. Moving into the hot mid-summer months, the Walleye
want to escape the warmer waters of the shore and will go to deeper
waters, typically main-lake midpoints, drop offs, shoals, mid-lake weed
flats and sunken islands. You can still use light jigs to catch them
like you did in spring, but if you are going to fish in deeper waters
for walleye, you may want to go for heavier jigs. However, on cloudy or
windy days, the walleye will move to shallow waters, typically in the
evening or morning, so you can use light jigs at this time. Click here to get information from a variety of Fishing Lodges |
