French River Walleye Question


Recommended Posts

Hi all, heading up to the French River on Sunday until Wednesday. Staying at Schell's camp. Newish to walleye fishing and wondering what depths I should be targeting? Will they go deep mid-day this time of year? I have read so many different articles that I am almost confused. Some said fish shallow....like 3-6 feet, some said target 10 feet.....any advice you can offer would be great so that I have a starting point. Thanks in advance.

I usually fish tips of islands and drops usually between 24-28 feet. A yellow jig head and worm off the bottom always get 90% of our fish. They are light hitters so you will need to "sweep" your rod to hook set instead of "snap" it like with bass. You will probably get a couple pike and cats as well. Don't be afraid to cook up the cats, they are tasty. Good luck!
