Walleye Fishing Guide
|
|
Walleye are a popular game fish in the Northwest Territories in both
the summer and winter. Walleye are found in the Mackenzie River watershed
as far north as the delta. They are often plentiful in tributary streams
of Great Slave Lake where they spawn and are sometimes found feeding
throughout the summer. They are also plentiful in some inland lakes
and rivers. The meat is excellent and the highlight of any walleye
trip is enjoying a famous shore lunch.
Strong
fighters, walleyes stay deep and wage a determined battle. In
most northern waters the walleye feeds most actively at sunrise and
sunset and night fishing can be more very effective. The larger,
mature fish will come into shallow rock shoals and around islands
to feed and many trophys have been taken still or drift fishing. Walleyes
prefer clean hard bottoms and water temperature from 65 to 75 degrees.
Casting, drifting, trolling and even downrigging can be effective
techniques in fishing the walleye. Walleye will respond to a wide
range of natural and artificial bait with live minnows and weighted
jigs. Canadian
Record: 22 lbs. 4 ounces.
