Catching Walleye and Sauger After a Cold Front

It might take 3 days for walleye to start feeding in clear water lakes, while walleye in murky rivers will barely be affected. Many walleye fishermen catch
fish in murky rivers the next day after a cold front.

As a general rule, you need to fish deeper and closer to the bottom after a cold front. Try using live bait with stinger hooks and you will have more
success. Lighter line is a must also after a cold front. 4 pound test is recommended.
