Where are the Walleye Hiding?
During the days of summer when the humidity and sun are at an all time high, the intuitive walleye will begin his retreat and search for cooler climes for a more comfortable existence. Although common knowledge tells us that walleye and rocks are the perfect pair, the green vegetation that is on your home lake is also a preferred habitat for a walleye seeking shelter. Shallow, fertile lakes are the number one choice for patterning walleye this way, however, any lake that supports weeds will always play host to weed-wandering walleye. Water that is relatively clear and is less than ten feet deep are the most ideal characteristics to target for certain success. Green weeds lure walleye in for a number of reasons. They provide a cooler environment, shade from the sun, oxygen, safety and comfort and an abundant food source with an added ambush point for attack. When you put all of these pluses together, you get a sure-fire plan for putting walleye in the boat.
