World Class Red River Walleye Fishing

By Juana Gamble


Sport fishing presents an excellent opportunity for water lovers to enjoy their time out. Red River walleye fishing is perfect when you master the season. There are different ways of ensuring that you make the catch in the region. The day and level of activity in the area will determine how successful you are in your endeavor.

It is important to have the right gear. This includes trots and hooks that are approved by authorities. This information is available from the department of fisheries. The rule for sport fishermen are published on departmental websites for perusal. This will keep you away from conflicts with the law.

Temperature of the water and clarity determine the amount of fish in the area. It also determines their appetite for your baits and ease with which they bite your hooks. They appear on the surface at particular hours and then disappear at others depending on activity and time of day.

Some fishermen have reported excellent catches in early afternoon. They recorded their encounter with large schools and were therefore able to make excellent catches. The level of engagement at this time was reduced and therefore brought many of them to the surface. They are likely to have fed and were appearing to bask in the afternoon sun.

The migration patterns are worth observing. There are seasons that trigger migrations up or down stream. Your positioning therefore depends on where they are moving. Just before winter, the fish are active and therefore easy to capture. They are eating with the aim of adding fat for the long winter spell ahead.

The kind of bait you give will determine how lucky you are during your trip. They will attract the fish to your hook with ease even though you cannot see in the dirty water. Their activity determines the areas where they will be easily located.

Blogs, websites, journals and television channels offer crucial information on seasons for the fish. They alert sport fishing lovers on sighting and the best timing based on experience and research. They also give accurate locations and tips on how to improve your rate of success.

The method of trolling determines your rate of success. Successful fishers have reported easier catches when the crank baits are dragged downstream. This gives you the right pace for the river which means that you cover ample ground within the shortest time. The baits are positioned to attract attention.

Your success rate varies depending on how you position the bait in relation to the riverbed. Taking it too low exposes it to the risk of getting caught at the bottom in rocks, tree stumps and sunken objects. It is recommended that the bait be several inches above the floor.

During the course of the trip the bait must be constantly checked. This gives room for bent hooks to be straightened or retrieval of caught fish. Sometimes you may troll upstream depending on how strong the currents are.
