2024 Walleye Photos

We just got back from our trip up north and I think it may have to be an annual event. We caught around 40-50 fish a day with the average size being 6″-12″ with a few pigs mixed in. I did lose a big one at the hole when my line froze into the reel’s line roller. Seen it make a couple passes by my hole when fighting it up, snapped 12lb floro so it must have engulfed the bait. But there’s always next year to they to break my PB of 12.5lbs.

Great looking fish and sound like a awesome trip.

Average size only 6-12 inches?

Nice fish!

Tobin lake has a slot limit no walleye can be kept if it’s over 21.5″ and only one can be kept if its over 33.5″

So walleyes are either too big or too small to keep. It’s difficult to catch eater size walleye since that’s what most people keep. With that being said 50% were in the 6″-12″ size 10% were in the eater size and the remaining 40% were over 21.5″.

Right on, that’s a bucket list lake for me. Where do you stay when you go? What’s your biggest out of Tobin?

BigWerm- Ice fishing I go and stay in the Tobin lake resort. There’s a few guys who rent out their cabins for 200$/night or stay at the rusty hook, they rent some nicer cabins. Early season Dec-Jan is good for walleye and March go to the Flats for big pike. The Flats you may need snowmobiles or tracked vehicles to access depending on the snow and weather.
– Summer time early June to July is good after the spring run off and October is good in the river. The big walleyes follow the Cisco’s up river in the fall when the cisco spawn happens. Need to dress warm as the temperatures can range from plus 10C to snow and fog all in the same day. Most people launch their boat in the Nipawin provincial park in the fall time if they are fishing the river.

For me biggest out of Tobin is a 34″ walleye (weighed 11lbs), heaviest is my profile picture 30″ weighted 12.5lbs. All were released I generally only keep the 16″-20″ sizes in my boat.

Nice fish there! Fluoro is one of those lines that just likes to snap.

two 10’s and an 8. Nothing huge but nice fish. I don’t take many pictures anymore.

Took my Dad and Wife on a 9hr drive to Lake Winnipeg this past weekend to get at least one of them on a 30″ walleye and my Dad crushed it with a 31″ 13+lbs Greenback. Hate to say it, but he now holds the biggest walleye in the family considering his old PB was 7.5lbs. We booked a Snowbear trip with IceBound Excursions with our guide Troy. I’ve never fished Lake Winnipeg before, there’s a good chance I will come back.

Just hogs, what a great trip. My neighbors have been up there 3 times this winter and I will be making the trip this up coming winter. The pictures he sends me are unreal, especially when he tells me there is no one within a mile of them.

As the saying goes, even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then. 29.5″ PB walleye caught on a 350 acre lake within 15 minutes of home on league night a week and a half ago. Caught on a bluegill DT6 casted around weed clumps in 8 fow. Partner caught a 25.5″ 30 minutes prior on a similar crank.

Nice fish!

Good way to end my open water season. Caught it when I went to winterize the boat.

Winterize? Already? I’d be fishing from that vessel for another month or so before I’d even think of putting it away for the winter.

last year I pushed it too far and got caught storing my boat when there was already snow on the ground. When hauling it to storage, the trailer sat with road salt all over the frame and corroded. Figured I’ll be a bit smarter this year lol. Already freezing up here at nights.
