Fishing For River Walleye’s
Go ahead and do some research obtaining the list of state and providence record walleyes and you see that most of them were caught in rivers. I am sure you will be surprised that river walleye fishing is how the majority of record size fish are caught.You have probably already figured out that the main reason rivers hold stable populations and record size walleyes is because rivers do not get the same fishing pressure that lakes get.
When cold fronts come in many a walleye angler knows to head for the tributary’s and do some river walleye fishing because they are effected as much by cold fronts as the lake walleye are.River walleyes seem to ignore, or are not effected by a incoming cold front. Also, head to the rivers in late summer when walleye fishing begins to slow down because of rising temperatures and plenty of natural food to eat.River walleyes will continue to feed in the same places in the fall unlike on a lake where the walleye will be scattered because of the water starting the fall turn over.
Big rivers to the north will surprising have many portions that are open water all winter long. The tail-waters of dams, and warm water discharges will offer open water walleye fishing all winter long.
The new walleye angler typically has more trouble learning river walleye fishing then learning to fish in lakes. The new walleye fisherman many times gets discouraged on their first river fishing trip because of a poor catch and make the decision to not try again.You need to be able to adjust your walleye fishing technique by learning how the river currents and the fluctuation of the water levels effects the walleye on the river you intend to fish.
Walleyes can tolerate some current but for only short periods of time. They need some type of a current break where they can rest if they are going to stay in a strong current area of the river. As a rule of thumb, you can eliminate approximately 75% of the water in rivers because the current is to strong for walleyes to hold in.
Look for downstream current breaks,pools right off the path of the main current, and downstream current breaks such as Islands, or large rock formations. Look upstream for areas that provide a likely current break areas such as made made formations to reduce river silting. Any upstream obstruction that has potential to break the current may hold walleyes.
The sweet spot of river walleye fishing are the current edges. These areas are as important as finding structure in lakes. The river walleye will go into the current looking for food, then dart back into the slack water adjacent to the current to rest.
Low water levels and stable water flow are ideal times to fish rivers for walleye. When water levels are stable, and the water is clear walleyes are predicable and will located in well known areas of the river.
River walleye fishing can be very rewarding when the river is rising if you can find the areas the walleye go under these conditions. If you are lucky fishing will be amazing under these conditions. Rising water will often wash many worms, insects and other foods into the river after the rains stop. This will normally cause a walleye feeding frenzy that can create some amazing walleye catches!
