Catching Walleye and Sauger After a Cold Front
Severe cold fronts put a hold on walleye fishing. The day after a cold
front usually has cool temperatures with bright, sunny skies. Walleye
will hug the bottom and refuse to feed for up to 3 days following a cold
front. Walleye in clear water are affected for longer than walleye in
murky water.
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.
