Lake Erie's walleye are prized catches, typically ranging from 2-5 pounds but with trophies pushing 10+. These golden-olive predators have distinctive reflective eyes that give them an edge in low light. You'll find them hanging around rocky points, deep holes, and weed edges, especially in 15-30 foot depths. Spring and fall are prime times as they move shallow to feed. Walleye put up a good fight and make excellent table fare, which is why so many anglers target them. Their firm, flaky white meat is mild and versatile - great for frying, baking, or grilling. When jigging for walleye, try a slow, subtle lift-and-drop. These fish often hit on the fall, so stay alert for that telltale tick on your line. It's a light bite, but once hooked, they'll give you a run for your money.
