Walleye and sauger are
very mobile. They will
swim up to 100 miles to
reach their spawning
destination. They will
also move constantly
throughout the day based
on the current conditions.
The light penetration,
water temperature and
oxygen content will all play a role in where the fish will be
located throughout the day. Walleye and sauger are
arguably the best-tasting freshwater fish. Anglers love
catching and eating these fish. They are easy to clean
and great-tasting on the grill or in the frying pan.
Walleye fishing continues to grow each year. Fishermen
will travel long distances for some excellent walleye
fishing. Walleye tournaments are becoming very
popular throughout the country also.
Walleye and sauger can be caught many different ways.
These fish are mostly found in deeper water, however,
you can find them in less than 20 feet of water in the
spring, fall, and when they are feeding in the mornings,
evenings and throughout the night. It is not uncommon
to catch walleye in water as shallow as 4 or 5 feet, but
most of the time, they are located in deeper water. They
are common in lakes and rivers. The biggest
congregations of walleye are in the northern states and
up into Canada. You can also find them in the midwest
and in some southern states as well.
