Spring is here! This month we cover how walleye react to spring in any environment they swim including lakes, rivers and reservoirs

We all know that spring-time gets everything rolling in high gear, including walleye and walleye anglers. This month we take an in-depth look at how walleye move, feed and prepare during the spring season. We will focus on the walleye’s behavior and how it differs in different bodies of water including rivers, eutrophic lakes, mesotrophic lakes, oligotrophic lakes and reservoirs.

What are the most important factors in timing the walleye spawn? Is it surface temperature, sub-surface temperatures, length of day, water clarity or something else? Our Teachin Fishin fisheries science expert, Ali Shakoor, explains the complicated time of year that is the walleye spawn. Combining classroom knowledge and on the water experience, Ali help all anglers understand all the factors, and how they work together, to determine when walleye are spawning and how anglers can catch more fish by taking advantage of high activity levels just before and after the spawn.
