Early fall angling on just about any river throughout the Midwest, can be a lonely proposition. It s feels a little eerie, to have that much water all to yourself. In this day and age of fishing pressure and elbow to elbow angling, you get the feeling that something must be wrong.
Chances are that nothing s wrong, and everything is right.
With a little understanding of where and how to find late season walleyes, anglers can cash in on some of the season s best fishing. As summer slides into fall, seasonal triggers occur that send walleyes on an upstream migration that can lead them miles away from their present location. As water temps begin to cool down, walleyes start to get a little restless, and eventually pick up stakes and move. It s this fall migration that creates a concentration, and plays right into the hands of anglers in the know. Summer walleyes tend to be spread out, and can be found throughout a section of river.
