Morning fishing seems to have slowed with the best bite during mid day to later in the afternoon. Very few fishermen are specifically targeting the walleyes. According to Jeannie and Glen Anderson, owners of the Rod and Gun Sportshop, reports of walleyes being caught are very slow. As we approach fall, the slow walleye bite should begin to turn around and the Chetek walleyes should put on the feedbag and start feeding. Best bet to catch walleyes this time of the year is very early in the day or very late with the night fisherman having the best chance to boat a fish.
Walleyes are nocturnal or very low-light conditions feeders.
Here is Andrew Reinholz of Downers Grove, IL holding a nice Chetek Lake walleye. The fish weighed at 4 pounds and 13 ounces. Andrew caught the fish spoonplugging. I thank Andrew for stopping me on the lake and allowing me to digitalize his catch on the water. I usually have my camera and on the lake images are great.
