Dan, I am a beginner at walleye fishing and am interested in doing some late winter fishing in Oklahoma. Do they hang in shallower waters in the winter? Is nighttime fishing the most productive throughout the year?

Best Walleye Conditions

Category: Uncategorized

I fish the Connecticut River in Massachusetts for walleyes. This is a medium to large size river system which originates in Canada, travels through VT, NH, MA and CT to the ocean. The season is mid to late June (now actually). Water temps are in the upper 60’s to about 70 degrees. Clarity to approx. 6′ - 8′. Stained water. Due to my physical limitations I cannot cast jigs for very long periods, so I am trolling more & more. Have caught some walleye and smallmouth trolling Rapalas & casting jig/plastic combos. But not many. Some of the “power” fishermen I know say they do very well on walleye in these same sections. We do not use live bait, but prefer artificials (personal preferance). I am thinking about using a standard minnow spinner rig and Gulp or Fin-S fish minnow, on a Gapen Bait walker or just flat-lining. Or a Rapala on the same weight system. Are these my best options under the circumstances? Or am I missing something? Haven’t considered crankbaits - yet! Thanks for any input.
