By Jarad Gibbs

These are among the most popular game fish in North America, and are most plentiful in Canada and the Great Lakes region of the U.S. Fishing for walleye can bring you to some of the most scenic regions of North America, and these are fish that you'll enjoy eating as well as catching.

Walleyes are optimally caught in the spring. Beginning springtime they start to spawn, in addition you have a chance to hook many walleyes as the water begins to warm. Amid this season, the most opportune place to reel in walleyes is near the shoreline. Greatest places to fish can frequently be just several feet from the shore, within the sandy surface so fish can spawn. Know your water temperatures, before you head out to catch fish. At times while in the springtime, there are crazy temperature fluctuations, in which the temperatures go from hot to instantly cold; catching walleyes in this is not the best. Take a break pending the temperature rising slowly and steadily. At this time you will probably hook males that are on the smaller side that stay near the spawning areas.

Walleyes are fish with some unusual characteristics, especially when it comes to their eyes. Their eyes are huge and stick out, with a slick look and seem as though they shine like a cat's eyes. They can still see in near darkness, which is not common for fish.

This particular fish can see in dim lighting because of the remarkable pigment they have in their eyes. This helps them achieve the mark of an amazing predator; due to the fact they can see in conditions where other fish cannot. This is one reason that dusk and even nighttime are good times to fish for walleyes. With this unusual gift, they will have the capacity to see your bait in the darkness.

As with a lot of things in life, the moon phases can have an influence on your success fishing for walleye. It's common knowledge that the moon has strong effects on the tides. Since walleye live in the water, this only makes sense that they would be affected as well. Walleye usually spawn during the new or full moon phases, which makes these the best times to fish for them. Just like people (crime statistics increase during these moon phases), walleye also become more combative during. So, when they see your attractive lure, they will probably attack it. Check the Farmer's Almanac for your local area and find a time when the new or full moon is just rising and it's still early evening. Great conditions for finding a lot of walleye roaming about ready to attack your lure. Walleye fishing isn't always easy, but that's part of what makes it fascinating. The knowledge you need to triumph over this fish entails more than just locating them, but luring them into biting and then having them remain on the hook. Every time you take part in any activity, you will learn something new that will make a more positive difference the next time you try it. You are now a little more prepared with some valuable advice that may come in handy when fishing for walleyes.
