![]() ![]() Keeping your presentation within a few feet of the bottom is usually the best way to find them. One thing to keep in mind, no matter what type of bait or lure you choose, is that walleye are almost always bottom-oriented fish. At other times, walleye become so inactive that you must slow your presentation to a crawl to tempt bites. ![]() As the old saying goes, one of the biggest mistakes you can make is thinking ahead of time that you know what the fish want.Īt times, walleye feed so voraciously that fast, flashy and brightly colored baits can trigger a “reaction strike” out of pure aggression. Generally speaking, it’s best to hit the water ready to try a wide range of tactics, tackle and techniques. That natural diet makes minnows and minnow-imitating lures a great choice for walleye fishing, but they’re far from the only options. Shad, ciscoes, smelt, yellow perch and a variety of minnows may be on the menu, depending on the available forage in any given body of water. The overwhelming majority of walleyes’ diet consists of smaller fish. Photo courtesy of the Oregon Bass & Panfish Club ![]()
