stream walleyes

[Dabluz]

Went to a large river about 45 minutes north of where I live. The water was quite high. I guess the hydro company is figuring on a dry summer. Anyway, went up this long bay and right to the mouth of a stream that was rushing down into the end of the long bay.

 

I nosed my aluminum boat right up into the stream where there was about 2 to 3 feet of water. Wham....the walleye were hitting like they were brook trout. I had to put some back because in my area, I can keep only the ones that are 32 to 47 cm long. This same thing happened a few years ago but did not happen last year.

 

It was late afternoon but the sun was high. The trees are full and tall on each side of the stream so there was lots of shade. If there was a way to fish from the bank, I would try that because I'm sure that my boat did spook some walleyes.

 

So if you see any streams dumping into your walleye lake, it is worth a few minutes to explore well up into the stream.

I guess the current is reducing the water temp, and bringing them food.I found a similar spot here n the Larry.I jig and drift, and where the bottom drops to 17 feet,Bam....nice little slot sized walleye, and smallies, and sheeps head,and perch Water temp is 1-2 deg cooler in this current.

I've seen walleye doing this in the late spring, chasing the baitfish into the shallow creeks. Only once have I caught walleye in a small stream, mid-summer. Very cool to see.

Thats the secret to my sucess..I have a hydro outlet right at the end of my dock. On the Trent river.I just anchor and jig the back of my boat..Its so easy its like taking candy from a baby..The water levels are low now and the hydro output is off ..I have to work 12 feet of water in the weed lines to get them them now..I find that once dialed in walleye are almost too easy to get..but they are good eats!

Awesome!!! Never heard of walleye stream fishing before. Hopefully one day I'll be lucky enough to find such a rare stream.
