Walleye

Walleye is a very popular sport fish,and they are a great fish to cook up ,and eat .
They are heavily stocked in some states. Walleys have a long roundish body and a forked tail. They have sharp canine teeth. Their large eyes are reflective at night. Their dorsal fin seperates in two parts.
Walleye vary in colors from blueish grey to olive brown to golden yellow with dark and mottling spotting. Side scale may reflect gold.
The belly is light colored or white. The walleye is very similar to the sauger except the walleye has a dark spot on the rear edge of the dorsal fin.

Walleye can be found in large lakes, rivers, and big streams. They prefer cooler and deeper water with a gravel or sandy bottom. They do not like to be in water above 85*

They spawn in gravel areas. They spawn, travel and feed in schools. They are one of the first fish to spawn in the spring, sometimes even before ice thaw. They return year after year to their spawning sites. When a female releases eggs, they are scattered randomly. The female will spawn with several males usually at night. Walleye eggs hatch within 12 to 18 days. Females produce 25,000 eggs per pound of their body weight. A single large female could spawn 500,000 eggs. When they hatch they are about 1/2 inch long. Young Walleye feed on microscopic animals. When they reach several inches long they start eating other fish.

They tipically feed during dusk in cooler months and at night during the summer.
They eat other fish, frogs and crayfish. They can grow to 36 inches. Walleyes can be caught any time of the day, however, night fishing of fishing dim depths with live bait or fish like lures and jigs is quite effective.
