    The walleye fishing for me the last 2 weeks has had a variety of results and not all good. Although we are getting fish the numbers vary from day to day as does the size of the walleyes. The larger fish have been on the feed so some big fish each day has been the norm. The keepers will go crazy one day and not the next but no one is starving. I have been having my best luck with plain hook bait rigs tipped with leeches or crawlers. You need to have both in the water as each day they seem to want one more than the other. As the walleyes have the most forage of the year available to them you have to work at getting bit. Rig bites can be subtle or rip the line out of your finger. But it’s the subtle bites that are sometimes hard to detect. Rigging these days is a very finesse tactic but effective once you know what a bite feels like, and of course locate some fish. Weed flats have been pretty good along with some break lines in the 20ft plus range. We are still getting fish in as shallow as 8ft some days also.

    Question…Are the fish in the 4th picture (typical 15′-18′ fish…) stocked fish from the mass stocking years ago or are they natural? RR

    My boat minimum is 14″ and some of those are that with a couple at 17″. Weather or not they are stocked fish or natural I have no idea.
