Title: Walleye on inland lakes
Post by: Mason2530 on Dec 15, 2015, 12:57 PM

I plan on targeting walleye this year. The lake i fish is inland with no rivers or streams. The DNR plants walleye but everyone says they wont bite or good luck finding them. Ive heard of people catching them so i know they are in there and catchable. what are some areas and depth ranges i should target? also lures i should use? thanks

Fish weed lines early ice and the deeper water breaks later. Put at least one tip-up out and jig your other line, jigging raps, shiver minnows, flash lures like Swedish pimples tipped with a minnow head. If you have a graph even better, move, move, move till you find them. Good luck eh
