Do You Need Fishing Nets For Springtime Walleye River Fish ?

By Jimmy Robinson


First things first. When it comes to fishing more than one aquatic sports aficionados will inform you its Walleye fish first on the list - first and foremost. You might even earn a Manitoba Master Anglers fishing award. Its Walleye fish or nothing to many a hunting or fishing outdoor enthusiast. Many anglers associate Walleye or Canadian Pickerel fishing only with lake waters. Yet the greatest fun and often the greatest rewards when it comes to these respected denizens of the deep are fishing for Walleyes in rivers and fast moving streams. All in all in can be considered much more of a challenge than simple staid lake water fishing. On top of that rivers and streams are often the locale of the best Walleye and Pickerel fishing that a good sportsman can ever come across.

Sure it may be a simple declaration that river fishing folk may be up against more of the variables of the fishing gods as opposed to those more simpler and staid personalities - those lake anglers. Virtually almost all lakes can be said to be "simpletons", when compared to the basic structural logistics of fishing in streams and fast moving rivers. A lake point is all in all a fairly aquatic environment as compared to river beds. It usually takes a good long drought or the heaviest of rainstorms, over a good period of time, to make a dent in the high or low water levels measured in lakes. Yet river anglers can be said to be fighting rising and falling moving water point's day in, day out, month in, month out. It's just a natural expectation. It goes with the lay of the land so to speak. Yet fishing is not a static sport. One day you may boat out to your favorite hidden "fishing hole " for a day on the water only to discover its now is the center of a major hydro power transmission site or dam project.. True the government people will tell you all is fine and that the fish counts are good. Yet you know two things - one its now easier for a ton of people to get to this area now with road access and secondly "your fish" seem to be spooked" So goes life and progress i guess.

Its not only perch fish that you have to contend with. In these cases you and your fishing buddies are up against one of the smartest fishes to come across your fishing rods - the great Walleye fish. Yet you have to think like a Walleye. It's an Old Icelandic proverb that to catch fish you "have to think like a fish". Well at least if you want to be recognized with a Manitoba provincial master angler's award.

A pile of submerged rocks that might hold Walleye and Pickerel fish during the high water of the spring season might well be high and dry little more than a week's time later. Remember that the ability to read river currents is the key to successful river Walleye and Pike fish as well fishing. Take the time to learn how it functions with rising or falling water levels, creating or eliminating, fish and especially trophy fish holding areas in the process.

Learn to "read " and appreciate river water currents and you will long away on the road to successful fishing in rivers and river beds - not only in this case for Walleye fish but any of any of desirable fish species that you may well want to hook and land. What are the tricks of the sportsman's trade? The pros seem to record and note, that water depth along with the torrents speed around objects in rivers and streams provide those all important and treasured "current breaks", where you will find your most elusive as well as challenging fishing prey. Next search and discover areas in regards to slower moving even "slack" waters where nourishment for the fish , seem to gather and pool, and you will have discovered your pot of gold where your fish will congregate and assemble to feed. It's no accident, all in all, it can be said - that the fish are where their favorite foods of the season are - and the exact locations where the avid, polished fisherman will land those master trophy Walleyes.
