Age and Growth Ranges of the Walleye
Walleye can live to be quite old, up to 25 years or more! As with many species, their growth
rates vary with their environment and fishcommunity.For example, in the Bay of Quinte, a 4- year-old walleye may be 18” (46.5 cm) and 2.75 lbs., whereas in the Kawarthas, an 18” walleye may be 6 or 7 years old.
Tips on Fishing for Walleye
Walleye are one of Ontario’s most sought after fish, both by anglers and commercial fishermen. They are extremely tasty, and are good fighters. As previously mentioned, they are most aggressive in low light conditions. Popular baits include worms, minnows and leeches. Many people troll or cast with plugs or crank baits along weed lines for walleye. Jigging in the weeds can be a very effective way of catching walleye during the day. Rocky points and shoals can attract walleye throughout the summer months and they can be caught using jigs or spinners tipped with live bait, or by using deep running crank baits. As the water temperature cools in the fall walleye will school in deep water usually off of rocky points.
