It might take a little time to find where they are schooling if you have never fished the lake before. Once you find them, it's non-stop action. During the summer and fall, mid-July to ice-in, the Walleyes still school and can be found off rocky points, shoals, islands and along weed lines.
Fishing this time of year is a matter of preference. The smaller Walleyes slow down their feeding patterns so you will not get the extremely high numbers, with the exception of rainy or windy days. This is also the time of year when the big trophy female Walleyes no longer have cold water in the deep to slow down their metabolism so they start coming into the shallows to feed.
Some of the biggest Walleyes in Ontario have been caught in the heat of August. The big females don't start feeding until dusk and will keep feeding all night long.
If you want to catch multiple Walleyes in the 25 to inch range, night fishing is your ticket. We will describe this in detail on our Walleye fishing tips page. The Walleye fishing at our drive-to base camp is great. You will not see the numbers that you will see on a fly-in but you will see the same sizes and most certainly catch enough Walleyes to be happy. Walleyes in the Twin Lakes are generally caught a couple of feet deeper because the water is clearer than the fly-in lake.
Be equipped to fish in the 8 to foot range. Each year, many walleye in the 26" - 30" range are caught here, as well as 25lb Pike. There are different walleye fishing scenarios. You can go for numbers or you can go for size.
Some guests are happy to find a hotspot off a shoal or rocky point and catch Walleyes after Walleye all day. Guests who have experienced this type of action before tend to take a little time out and try down deeper or fish more at night for the monster sized trophy females that come shallow when the sun goes down. The tips below cover different types of Walleye fishing. Please Note: Fish in the north avoid artificial scents. Use unscented rubbers and do not put scent on your lures.
Wash your lures before you head north if you have ever used artificial scents. Salted grubs work great! In the spring, Walleyes are either in a river current or right close to shore.
When I say close to shore, I mean 3 to 10 feet from shore. In Northern Ontario Canadian Shield Lakes, the Walleyes that don't spawn in the river will find sandy areas along the shore to spawn. By the time fishing season opens, most Walleyes are finished spawning but they will hang around to protect their spawning beds. Use bright colors like red, chartreuse, yellow or white.
Walleyes that are feeding will hit the jig. Walleyes that are not feeding will still hit bright colors because they are defending the spawning grounds and bright colors aggravate them. Generally, white is always the best color. In the daytime and in early spring, you will most likely catch smaller males, which stay at the spawning beds. The bigger females usually take off into deeper water during the day. If you are going after size instead of numbers, fish off the areas where Walleyes were spawning and fish deeper in the 10 to foot depth.
That's where the big females are. How do you find that special spot along the shore where the Walleyes are congregating? In the spring, put on a small Original Floating Rapala or Thunderstick and troll really slow right along the shoreline. The Walleyes will be in 2 to 4 feet of water. Red, Blue, Chartreuse and Fire Tiger are the best colors in the spring.
If you keep trolling past a spot and hit Walleyes, then that's where they are. In this case, stop the motor and start casing. Trolling back and forth too many times will spook the area and they will stop feeding. A few years ago in very early spring just after ice-out , we fished right along the shore at Dusey Lake. If we were more then 10 feet away from shore; we would not catch anything. Across the lake was a bunch of guys that were staying in a different camp.
They watched us fishing along the shore and catching Walleye after Walleye. They were fishing out in the middle of the lake and catching nothing. They watched us catch fish all day. We told them the Walleyes were right on shore yet they would not listen and fished out in the middle of the lake and continued to catch nothing. If you are going to be a stubborn fisherman who never tries anything new or will not accept the fact that the fishing in Northern Ontario is different then down south, then all you'll catch is disappointment.
In the afternoon, the big females will go deeper to protect themselves from the sun and Pike. In the summer the walleyes go a little deeper, hang out at the mouth of rivers or lay off rocky points.
Islands that have patches of gravel around them are good spots. Rocky drop-offs are also good. With lakes that have a flat structure, the Walleyes will head into the thick weeds to get protection from the sun. In the summer, Walleyes tend to go after more natural colors like silver, brown, black and white.
