Walleye Pickeral River Fishing Central

When it comes to fishing Walleye it seems that almost inevitably the emphasis is in fishing for those fish in lakes and still waters. Yet many of these elusive foes are caught in rivers and river waters. What tips and tactics can be best exploited by experienced sportsmen and fisherman when it comes to landing that "big one" in river water - be it in a Minnesota River or the Manitoba Red River?

It can be said that river fisher-people face more sudden, dramatic changes in water conditions than Lake Fisherman do by far or can even imagine. Most lakes are a "piece of cake" when compared structurally to rivers. Water levels in natural lakes remain comparatively stable over long periods of time. It usually takes long term drought or heavy rainwater to bring about a severe high or low water levels in a lake. Yet river anglers are always fighting rising or falling water levels. More than just contending with water level "flux", they must adjust to bottom structures that are here today and gone tomorrow. Sandbars come and go. Flow patterns can change in a subtle manner with a shift of the stream's course or an increase in current speed.

Its not only perch fish that you have to contend with. In these cases you and your fishing buddies are up against one of the smartest fishes to come across your fishing rods - the great Walleye fish. Yet you have to think like a Walleye. It's an Old Icelandic proverb that to catch fish you "have to think like a fish". Well at least if you want to be recognized with a Manitoba provincial master angler's award.

A pile of submerged rocks that might hold Walleye and Pickerel fish during the high water of the spring season might well be high and dry little more than a week's time later. Remember that the ability to read river currents is the key to successful river Walleye and Pike fish as well fishing. Take the time to learn how it functions with rising or falling water levels, creating or eliminating, fish and especially trophy fish holding areas in the process.

Bingo it's a Walleye fishing heaven. On top of that if the other aquatic species interest you and your fishing buddies, this may well be a treasured fishing area for both yourself and your entire fishing group throughout the open times of the legal fishing season in the locale. If you are not sure of the rules - when it comes to seasons for the various fishing species - just ask your local fishing warden or fish and wildlife agent.
