In the whole year, the walleye can be fished for but there are certain months that can be more dominant than the others. Heres a breakup:

 

Spring (March – May)

 

• • March-April: Pre-spawn is the time when walleye are starting to be more active

 

• • May: Post-spawn period will be mainly driven by starvation and the walleye being a little more aggressive

 

Summer (June – August)

 

• • June: The situation might be very good because the walleye will be able to get more space after they are going to spawn

 

• • July-August: It can be good, but the fish could move deeper to escape the rising water temperatures

 

Fall (September – November)

 

• • The month before the winter such as September-October is the best fishing period as walleye eat like a madman

 

• • November: It can be good as the water temperatures cool down and the fish are still active

 

Winter (December – February)

 

• • Usually, ice fishing is a high-yield winter sport, especially at the beginning period

 

Overall Best Months

 

In fact, May and September-October are usually regarded as the top months for walleye fishing since the water is at the right temperature and the fish are really feeding all over them.

 

When looking at these patterns, it is good to note that they differ in different places, as well as the weather and the regulations set by the authorities must be taken into account. Always refer to local fishing reports and the regulations for the most recent information.
