McAllister continues: At roughly 1:47 I marked a small bar on my flasher 16 feet down. I reeled up quickly and began trying to coax the fish into biting. Shortly after reeling up, this fish became interested and the mark kept to get bigger and bigger. From the size of the mark on my LX9 and from years of experience on the Bay, I knew she was a trophy. Inside seconds, the fish crushed my PK, I set the hook, my WhiteOut rod buckled and there was nothing but dead weight! I knew this could possibly be The One I d been chasing for so long. I screamed out to my friend Cezar that I needed help and he was there in a flash. (outdoorlife.com)

In very big bodies of water like Lake Ontario, Lake of the Woods and Lake Winnipeg, a sizeable part of the walleye population spawns in the spring in one or more big river systems that flow into the lake. Where this occurs, walleye get a head start on the spring migration by moving toward the rivermouths in the fall, where they rest, stage, concentrate and feed over the winter. It’s the reason the ice fishing is so good in the Bay of Quinte, as an example, and around the mouths of the Rainy, Red and Winnipeg Rivers. (outdoorcanada.ca)

The bite frequently starts in early December at the mouth of the Rainy River where it goes into Four Mile Bay and out of two narrows Lighthouse Gap and Morris Gap into Lake of the Woods. Walleyes bite best throughout the low-light periods of morning and evening, however fish happen along all day, particularly at early-ice. Most walleyes run one to three pounds, with a sprinkling of bigger fish and some fish over 8 pounds. As the season progresses, many walleyes drop deeper, farther out in the lake. Most local resorts share info on where the bite s going. We frequently use up a morning in recognized hot-bite regions, then the rest of the day searching new regions. (in-fisherman.com)
