Can you give me tips on how to catch walleye in a river?

When most people fish for walleye in a river they think it’s best to stay by dams or the mouths of the river. But that’s not the case. You should head around five to even ten miles downstream and start fishing up in that area, because this is where the walleye are most likely not heading up the river yet. Look for some of the following things in a river to find some really good spots for fishing walleye; rock structures, deep transition shoreline, or even rubble flats, and springs. Look for sandbars, as these are places where the walleye love to stay. Take your time fishing, and fish in sections, not a big area. Try finding deeper rivers to fish for walleye; at times they go and rest in those deep holes as they are heading up stream. Use a bit of a heavy weight and crank bait; this will allow you to drop into those deeper holes and hopefully catch a really nice size walleye. Remember that not all rivers are the same when you go out walleye fishing. Perhaps on another river you can try a jig and bait it with a small minnow. But you should always look for the rocks and deeper water; this will always be the same. If you’re fishing right before winter you should use a larger minnow. When it’s cold out it’s probably better to fish in a river, over a lake. Walleye like to stay on the river when the temperature gets a bit cooler. If you see weed beds, try out a tub bait. It will work better than the other choices to hook a walleye. Good luck in your river fishing for walleye. Hope you catch a lot.
