Fall, I can’t think of a better time to go fishing!
Walleye Anglers may think that it’s time to pack it in. No, this could be the time that the fun begins. The fish are there waiting for the big feeding frenzy.
For the patient angler, fall can be one of the mostrewarding Walleye fishing experiences they can have if you understand the patterns that the fish follow, and use this knowledge to your advantage.
1. This will increase your odds for success, and contribute to you catching more fish.
2. AS the water cools down, the fish start to prepare for the colder weather.
3. They tend to go deeper in the lake, and can be found as deep as fifty feet down, with the average depth of twenty five feet and lower.
4. The fish are also becoming more sluggish, because of the cool temperatures, even so they are preparing for one last big feeding frenzy before fall turns into winter freeze over.
5. The fall patterns will vary slightly between the warmer lakes and those which freeze over first, but the pattern is followed the same. It’s just on a different time line, with the water temperatures being the difference.
6. The fish’s metabolism will begin to slow, and they won’t move as much or be as active at feeding. It’s when late fall arrives when the walleye suddenly get active for a short period. They may move closer to the surface, and feed aggressively.
This is their final feeding binge until winter is over, and the fish seem to understand that soon the lakes will ice over.
