Its that time of the year again when we can all get out there - wherever there is for you - and catch some walleye, pickerel, glass eyes, or whatever you want to call them.
You know how tasty this fish is, and it can put up one heck of a fight before it will give you any kind of a chance to catch it.
Of course you know that the Kawartha Lakes region of Southern Ontario is rated as one of the best and most productive areas in which to fish for this splendid species.
You are going to read many a tale of getting out to one Kawartha lake or another to fish walleye in deep waters especially where rocks and boulders are present. This is the right train of thought for many of the Shield lakes, yet for the Kawarthas, an abundance of walleye can be found in much shallower waters as little as 10 feet or less, and in weed-orientated areas.
Jigs or spinner bait, and why not some juicy worms, all are going to help you manage a good catch now that the season has opened once again.
Its about 8:30pm here so I think I might just go and check out a spot under the bridge as angle a few visiting walleye as they pass by.
So happy fishing in the Kawarthas, and do drop by to let us know how you are managing your catch at the beginning of the season.
