Ontario is Walleye country.
In late spring, the hungry walleye dispersing from spawning areas seldom refuse
a jig, especially when tipped with a minnow or a worm. These tasty, golden fish
love live bait. By mid-summer, walleye travel to deeper structure, such as
sunken islands, main-lake points, drop-offs, shoals, and mid-lake weedflats.
Walleye have eyes adapted to low-light feeding. Many are caught at night by
trolling crankbaits. Average weight is 3 lbs (1.4 kg). This fish is found in
Rice Lake, Chemong Lake, Pigeon Lake, Stoney Lake, Buckhorn Lake and more. |
