Walleye Prespawn River Movement

Let’s hear your theory(s) on why unusually plump large female walleye seemingly do not participate in the annual spring migration “upstream” ~ at least the staging process. Cuz let’s face it….there are NOT an abundance of milting males in the same zip code were some of these sought after river queens are boated prespawn.

Are their any formal studies done on this subject. Wondering what “the experts” say.

Here’s a link to a 24 month study done on walleye and sauger movements on pool 4 of the Mississippi River.

thanks for the info james. i hope it will help with my fishing on sunday

There’s a scary amount of info in that study so I’m sure it will only help. I know it has made a huge difference in my understanding of the pool 4 walleye / sauger fishery.

James;
That link no longer offers me the “figures”. Is there another link somewhere?

The “figures” are pointing to an old location. I’ll need to edit the original article to synch everything back up. If you want to see those “figures” ASAP just change the “in-depthangling.com” to idofishing.com in the url and everything will display until I get things fixed.
