Sam Anderson Walleyes Inc. Action packed adventures in walleye fishing on the internet. As the water levels dropped over night I knew that many of the walleyes would be in the necked down area just south of the big lake. Whenever the water level drops walleyes rush out of the backwaters areas and head to the main river for safety and for feeding purposes. As I pulled my boat into position at the head of the narrows I noticed that there were quite a few fish on my depthfinder. I quickly flipped out a Fuzzy Grub tipped with a minnow and as it settled on the bottom I felt that familiar pick-up as the walleye inhaled my offering.
Spring is one of the best times to consistently catch walleyes.
Distinct patterns are much easier to set because the lake has settled and the fish are schooled and making predictable movements. The water temperatures of spring increase the walleye s metabolism and those fish are feeding more often and more intensely. This is the growing season for walleyes and all species of fish. They re more active and more aggressive. There will usually be a number of patterns that might work during the spring period, some at the same time.
