Another May long weekend walleye fishing season opener is upon us. So let’s get our fishing gear in order and get out and enjoy the weekend. On May 22 we can work the jigs, troll the shallows with worm harnesses and try and tapp out the monster walleyes.

Walleye represents a true Northern Ontario delicacy with anglers because they are such a great prize when you catch one, plus they are tenacious and a fish that is not easily caught. This is what makes them a unique catch in my eyes.

Their green and gold colours and glowing eyes, walleye truly represents the essence of fishing in northern Ontario.

TIP: Look for early season walleyes on rock piles in water less than 10 feet deep. The rocks absorb sunlight and warm the surrounding water. Most of the lakes in early season are still cold, so walleyes are attracted to these zones of warmer water.

They love these areas also for other reasons… invertegrates! These invertebrates attract baitfish which the walleye will be feeding on, so covering these hot areas will bring better results.

Our Northern Ontario Lakes do hold the pleasures of catching many great monster walleye. This year please make sure that safety is in mind whenever you get out. Get your fishing license and have fun.
