When the walleyes are biting news travels fast and the lake gets really busy. The fishermen were locating the walleyes in various depths of water. The walleyes can also be found in various structures of the lake. Walleyes like points or ridges. Walleyes don't like to be alone, according to Jennings.
Walleyes prefer to feed on gizzard shad and crappie.
The main thing to remember is walleyes eat live food, not dead. Walleyes will compete for food with white bass and other predator fish. Sometimes the only thing that saves a walleye from being eaten is its size. The gently rolling hills of the Chariton River valley surround this southeast Iowa lake. Fishing for crappie is very popular on Rathbun Lake.
