Spring:  By the time fishing season starts in the spring, walleyes are finished spawning but they generally hang around to protect their spawning beds, which means they can be found either in rivers, or around 3 to 10 feet from the shore.  It is best to use bright colored jigs (red, yellow, white).  Walleyes that are feeding will hit the bright colored jigs, and even walleyes that are not feeding will hit the bright jigs as they are defending their spawning grounds and are aggrevated by bright colors.  Generally it is always best to use white.  In the daytime you will find smaller males (because they stay at the spawning bed).  If you are looking for the size, fish for the bigger females in deeper waters (10-15 feet) as they move into deeper waters during the day. 

Summer:  In the summer heat, walleyes, especially big females will go into deeper waters (15 to 35 feet) and stay down there until the night, when they go close to the shore.  During the day they move into open water and feed on suspended schools of lake herring or lake shad, and it is more common in lakes such as Eagle Lake where the shoreline is filled with muskie and pike.   If you have a bigger boat, use downriggers or use down deep Husky Jerks or similar bait.  Look for schools of baitfish close to rocky points or river mouths.  Try fishing at the 15 to 35 feet mark.  If you are in a smaller boat you could troll really slow using a 3 way swivel and a 2 ounce weight and troll through the schools of baitfish, or you could troll around 20 feet deep along the shoreline (follow the contours of the shore) Use a worm harness with a big juicy worm.

Fall:  Fishing for walleye in the fall can be a frustrating experience.  In many lakes as water cools down the weeds start to die.  This produces methane-sulfate which is annoying to fish and in high concentrations can be poisonous to them. During this time most walleyes take off into open water or up rivers to escape the dying weeds.  When fishing for walleye in rivers, use a float with a minnow or a worm.  Look for deep pools or back moving currents on either side of a rapids.   In the open water (on the edges of big weed beds) they tend to stay in around 10 to 25 foot waters.  Atmospheric pressure affects the feeding of walleyes, if it is very low the walleye might stop feeding all together, but if it is rising, they will start feeding aggressively.  Walleyes always feed best when the atmospheric pressure is on the rise.
