First things first. When it comes to fishing more than one aquatic sports aficionados will inform you its Walleye fish first on the list - first and foremost. You might even earn a Manitoba Master Anglers fishing award. Its Walleye fish or nothing to many a hunting or fishing outdoor enthusiast. Many anglers associate Walleye or Canadian Pickerel fishing only with lake waters. Yet the greatest fun and often the greatest rewards when it comes to these respected denizens of the deep are fishing for Walleyes in rivers and fast moving streams. All in all in can be considered much more of a challenge than simple staid lake water fishing. On top of that rivers and streams are often the locale of the best Walleye and Pickerel fishing that a good sportsman can ever come across.
Sure it may be a simple declaration that river fishing folk may be up against more of the variables of the fishing gods as opposed to those more simpler and staid personalities - those lake anglers. Virtually almost all lakes can be said to be "simpletons", when compared to the basic structural logistics of fishing in streams and fast moving rivers. A lake point is all in all a fairly aquatic environment as compared to river beds. It usually takes a good long drought or the heaviest of rainstorms, over a good period of time, to make a dent in the high or low water levels measured in lakes. Yet river anglers can be said to be fighting rising and falling moving water point's day in, day out, month in, month out. It's just a natural expectation. It goes with the lay of the land so to speak. Yet fishing is not a static sport. One day you may boat out to your favorite hidden "fishing hole " for a day on the water only to discover its now is the center of a major hydro power transmission site or dam project.. True the government people will tell you all is fine and that the fish counts are good. Yet you know two things - one its now easier for a ton of people to get to this area now with road access and secondly "your fish" seem to be spooked" So goes life and progress i guess.
Changing bottom conditions will obviously also affect fish location. Simply and easily put - you have to find those Walleye fish to land the trophy sized specimens . As rapidly as water levels rise or fall, a key fish attracting current break can suddenly appear or completely vanish and affect fish location accordingly.
An important and noticeable log pile may be just the ticket to a large fish catch. Especially in the case of an apparent pile of logs among submerged - and probably not apparent series of submerged rocks. This is a case where a good electronic fish finder can be worth its weight in gold. Many even experienced fishing folk, think of modern fish finders simply as tools to locate fish only. Yet the flip sides of these devices is that not only are modern fish finders useful for spotting fish prey and schools of fish but also that they detect and isolate features on the bottom surface of rivers and lakes. Bingo not only does the sports electronic device spot fish but also in these cases submerged rocks along with the current breaking log pile on the river's surface. You would be best to mark down this Walleye and Pickerel fish magnet with your GPS. Read pooling of nourishment and prey not only for your hunt but also for the various smaller fish that Walleye seek to feed upon.
Fish like Walleyes relate to structural elements one way during high water and or another way when the water levels are low and lower. The water depth and speed around an object produces those all important "current breaks" that determine sections of slack water where food accumulates and fish gather. Fish will hold and set up feeding stations at these points. In summary it can be said by better being familiar with both river currents, how to read and evaluate them - in essence being sensitive to the lay of the land will reward your Walleye & Pickerel fishing results greatly.
