Walleye Fishing

[danbouck]

This is going to be my first year fishing for walleye. I have no clue what to use or how to use it. I've heard to jig off bottom but would like to get any advice, thanks

I'm planning on Dunnville this weekend, then puslinch in Cambridge. I've never been to Dunnville but Puslinch is about 10 -15 feet, clear water

usually if you fish a river ... a 3/8 os jighead /trailer ... worm .. chartreuse ,light pink or white jigs are a safe bet.

if yer fishin lake with clear water light colored 5/16 jigs tipped with 2" 3" shiner works well .

if yer fishin stained lakes.. chartreuse/orange 3/8 jigs tipped with ared or yellow dace minnow

works well too.

if fishin's slow try a lindy rig type set up .. with a minnow or a worm.. and if the water is warm enough

you can even try a leech.. although it's still pretty early for leeches.

i'll be putting my tips to the test this weekend.

GOOD LUCK!! hope i've been of some help.

p.s try casting a big Rapala over your spot before using live bait.. it usually produces more active and bigger fish..if they're there especially in a river.

Dunnville is Fishmaster's domain.

Maybe he'll offer a tip, cause he fishes that stretch of river.
