No doubt about those Pickerel and Walleye fish are just plain wily. Say what you can , but even the dumbest Walleye seems to be a lot smarter at evading novice fishing sports people and most everybody you know back "at the office" in the boring , hot city. The early bird gets the worm, and that smart aquatic creator gets your minnows and bait, Scott free.
It is not your imagination. Although you may see lots of trophy sized and master angler Walleye and Pickeral fish, most of what you catch will be in the 1 to 3 lb ranges, with 2 pounds weight being the norm. These sized variety are tasty beyond belief, as many the family of avid anglers know and yearn for. Fried up on the spot - yummy. It's only the larger and master angler trophy sized, which seem to make it back home after the fishing trip and expedition to be off to the taxidermist and taxidermists to be mounted and stuffed.
If there is one type of aquatic and water landscape condition and conditions that Walleye and the Canadian pickerel fish like its cold water living and swimming. Less than 29 degrees Celsius is the general rule of thumb. Hence conditions such as in Northern Minnesota, Wisconsin or the vast cooler lakes of Lake Manitoba especially in the Lake Manitoba Narrows regions or the very large Lake Winnipeg inland sea are more than ideal.
Catch one Walleye, odds and experience says that there are plenty of others from the same schooling group just loitering around waiting for you just to tease and taunt them with fresh bait or a bright colored lure or jig. Experienced anglers will teach you that greatest amount of cases that the Walleye and Pickerels hold near the bottom of the lake. Not unlike Goldeye fish and the patterns of landing trophy sized Goldeyes. When fishing at these depths watch your line (or lines if local fishing and game laws and regulations allow), for any lateral or unusual movements and strip. In these cases simply remove or retrieve your fishing line by hand. It seems that Walleye fish take their food very slowly, thus the hook must be set the very moment and second that a fish takes the fly or it will simply reject it.
In the end it can be said that this valued trophy fish - is a boom, a triumph and a bust. Wonderful to catch, great to eat, yet more than amazingly smart and wily. The reputation of the Walleye or its Canadian namesake - the Pickeral is more than just and well earned.
