To many an avid angler there is nothing quite like day spent fishing for king Walleye fishing in an upscale river area of wetlands. Sure it's no secret that more than one of these elusive foes can be reeled in throughout well established river fishing holes. What precise, well oiled methods are best to exploit these watersheds to reel in and land these "big ones" whether it's the Mississippi River or simply the good ole Red River as it streams through the Canadian province of Manitoba?
Are those who fish for Walleye in rivers a different lot than those who ply lakes in search of prey? Perhaps. A lot of lakeside fishing can be said to be simpler and much easier than working a riverbed or fast moving streams. Precious water levels in lake watersheds stay fairly constant, and within limited ranges throughout the seasons of the year. It usually takes long term drought weather conditions or heavy rainwater from major weather disturbances to bring about severe and extreme low or high water levels in any lake water system or systems. Yet it's no secret that river anglers consider it a matter of basic course to expect and even battle rising or falling stages of river water heights. Add additional constructs and difficulties to the fishing mix as the river bottoms can be bet to be in a constant flux. It's no simple lake bed simply lying undisturbed deep beneath a lakes surface. Sandbars in any river system can be counted on to appear and magically disappear miraculously almost by themselves ,with changes occurring regularly , for no apparent reason or rhyme , and sometimes with changes accruing it seems - almost on a daily basis. Yesterdays or the last fortnight's conditions oft don't apply today - to the star fisherman out on the prowl for Walleye at his favorite river fishing hole or holes.
Changing bottom conditions will obviously also affect fish location. Simply and easily put - you have to find those Walleye fish to land the trophy sized specimens . As rapidly as water levels rise or fall, a key fish attracting current break can suddenly appear or completely vanish and affect fish location accordingly.
A pile of submerged rocks that might hold Walleye and Pickerel fish during the high water of the spring season might well be high and dry little more than a week's time later. Remember that the ability to read river currents is the key to successful river Walleye and Pike fish as well fishing. Take the time to learn how it functions with rising or falling water levels, creating or eliminating, fish and especially trophy fish holding areas in the process.
Bingo it's a Walleye fishing heaven. On top of that if the other aquatic species interest you and your fishing buddies, this may well be a treasured fishing area for both yourself and your entire fishing group throughout the open times of the legal fishing season in the locale. If you are not sure of the rules - when it comes to seasons for the various fishing species - just ask your local fishing warden or fish and wildlife agent.
