The walleye is a popular gamefish known for its delicate, delicious flavor and light-tackle fight.
Ice fishing makes for great walleye action all winter long.
They typically run eight to ten inches, but some jumbo perch are the rule in some parts of the river. There is great ice fishing for perch in the St. Lawrence, with bucket-filling catches common throughout the winter. New York is a top muskellunge state. Special fishing gear is needed to land this wily fish. A guide is strongly recommended.
