Along with perch, walleye are the other species from
the family Percidae of major economic value in Canada. This species
is named after its uniquely large, cloudy eyes. The eyes of this
species are extremely light-sensitive, and although walleye tolerate
a wide range of environmental conditions, they do best in large,
shallow, turbid lakes. Walleye avoid the light, and in lakes that
are clear, walleye inhabit deeper waters and feed at sunrise, sunset
and during the night. A closely related species of fish called the
blue walleye formerly inhabited Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. This
species was heavily overfished to the point of extinction.
The Walleye, the highly esteemed member of the perch family, gets
its name from the large eye with its light-reflecting retina which
gives the fish its walleyed appearance. This fish is probably the
most economically valuable species in Canada's inland waters. It
is a major commercial and sport fish in Ontario and the Prairie
Provinces, and a major sport fish in Quebec. An angler survey in
Ontario showed that the walleye was the game species most often
fished and was the second in abundance in anglers' catches.
Hungry walleye dispersing from spawning areas seldom refuse a jig,
especially when tipped with a minnow or a worm. Vertical jig or
cast to rocky shorelines, shoals, and weedlines. In stained lakes,
chartreuse, lime green, yellow, pink, and white are effective jig
colours. When adding bait, use a stinger hook to catch walleye that
strike short.
